Battlezone 2 Community Project for 1.3?

[AHadley]

Anybody who makes a voice recording, send it to me as an unedited file, I'll edit it myself. Or use my editing tutorial, it makes for the most realistic effect possible. If you're playing ISDF.

[General_Hoohah]

thankfully I can edit my own and make it sound good. But you would have to make it ready for BZ2

[Clavin12]

Can we set up threads for voting on mods for the community project, as well as voting for the name of the hero?

[VSMIT]

...as well as voting for the name of the hero?

The name of the hero is dictated by the mod that is chosen, not by the community.  If the hero's name is not decided at the time of selection, then the community can offer suggestions, but in the end it's up to the Dev-team's discretion.

[Clavin12]

I see. But shall the thread be put up?

[General_Hoohah]

Thats a bad idea. We still don't know if we're making a mod. Don't rush into it. Thats what happened last time, and thats why a lot of people fought and bickered. No body knew what was going on or if anyone was going to work on it, but people who couldn't really contribute anything started a whole new area of the forum on it. Because of that, it was completely unorganized, no one could agree on anything, and it blew up in our faces. Lets take a lesson from that and not do that again. So please settle down and let us figure out if this is even going to happen. So far, it doesn't look like it is unless more people commit to getting involved.

Another problem that happened in that event was everyone had their own idea and everyone got ignored. No one could agree on anything, and everyone and their grandmother wanted it to be something different.

So first we need to know if anyone else is available for this mod. We still need some people with modeling experience, mappers, a coder, and a dev leader.

Personally I'm sort of a jack of all trades master of none. While I can't do anything particular on my own, I can however pick up slack and help one area out that needs it the most. Mapping, modeling, textures, sound, voice, vehicle odf writing/tweaking, weapon writing/tweaking/, etc. I've had experience doing all those in BZ2.

I'm officially a jack of all trades now that I have made some DM maps.

[Clavin12]

Well lets at least make a thread explaining the idea and avaliable for answering questions. Once everyone understands what it is and how to go about it we can start. Right?

[AHadley]

I wouldn't advise any more CP threads until we know for certain that something is happening.

[Clavin12]

well then lets have a thread to vote on weather or not to do it. Simply yes or no.

[AHadley]

Maybe...

[Feared_1]

A count of people who would be interested in helping and how they could help would be a good place to start, just to see who would be available.

[Clavin12]

Well then sum1 should start the thread

[Mr X]

Could I help?

When it comes to actually programming I'll be completely useless, but in my head I have some really cool designs for vehicles that I've always wished could get into the game and was hoping someone would like to have a go at.

I could also help by writing some of the storyline.

[General_Hoohah]

I just worked really hard on a story line. I hope it gets used.... I really really hope it does. Frankly I'd like to see a new mod that concentrates on the adventures of the ISDF, instead of another new race or those lame EDF. The idea of being in a paper tiger military force really turns me off from playing as the EDF.

There's still a lot of room for ideas, and I welcome them if anyone wants to contribute to my story... as long as it doesn't conflict with the theme of the story or doesn't really obviously fit. I'm looking for some added action. Maybe a secondary objective that spices things up. There's lots of things that can go wrong in space.
