well since i will be honest...the help i do want to give is not copy and paste allready existing stuff to the wiki and instead try to do new things like op3 for actually learning how to do stuff like coding graphic....

so this said i wonder if you need help of some kind for graphic (not so good at it but i can learn fast) coding ( same as graphic) website template for a better look(i am really good at it) music (espessialy midi and i can do .mp3 .wav mix up) story and game play idea....

so thats it your doing awsome job i like the 3d poly that you have did (thumbsup)

Hmm, It's hard to read what you are saying. Something leeor_net pointed out to me once is that it is always a good idea to write your ideas in notepad first, then make them clear.

Hmm, would you be any good at sound effects?  :lol:

Also, If you are interested in GFX, do you mean 2D skins and textures? or Meshes like what I do..

for stormy: for the sound i am your boy :) and for 2D mesh i could learn quite fast if you told me how  ;) just message me on mirc or PM on the forum so we can talk further about it.

for leviathan:  ''we need copy and pasters'' the main reason lev if i ask if i can help is to actually learn something and do something that is fun everyone is capable of doing ctrl-c ctrl-v and i allready know how to copy and paste... and by the way young men i allready put the novella on the wiki and thus ended my task... if you want me to help you follow these step:

1- do not yell write or ask: ''can you please help with the wiki please'' without any task or to do list on your post (by the way the to do page on the wiki is really messed up)

2- you can PM me what you want me to do and i will do it


ps: i know sometimes my english is a little weird but it can be explain : first this is not my main spoken language, second it's have been a year since the last time i spoke it (well actuall untrue since i found opu 4-5 month ago) lastly because i use a traduction software (i am joking)

I think that one of the more important things that we will need later is a sound guy. I don't know about teaching you 2D stuff. Leeor would be more of the person to do that (he is the photoshop wiz!). 2D people are easier to find than a sound guy, I'm very very happy we have a potential person :D.

Cool! Glad to hear that you are interested in helping.

As far as graphics engine coding, the refresh subsystem is already done. The engine is totally capable of rendering DooM3 style graphics without any additional programing.

Other points that need to be addressed are things like the network layer, logic module, sound module and input module. These, however, need to be designed first before I go about creating anything.

As far as graphics are concerned, I can help you learn to create 2D Textures/Skins for either 2D or 3D games. But, it's a matter of patience and a LOT of time. Creating high-quality skins is not an easy task but, once familiar, doesn't have to take a long time.

Skins are easy enough but there is the necessity to learn various 3D modelling techniques/concepts before approriate skins can be created (unless the model's mesh is already laid out in a skin pattern).

As far as 3D modelling, I'd be able to get you the very basics but stormy would be the one to get you really rolling on that if it's what you want to learn.

As far as sound is concerned, that would be awesome! I had planned on using some of OP2's sounds (after digitally cleaning them up) as well as going out and buying some of those royalty-free SciFi/Tech/Future sample CD's. But, if you can help with that, it'd be great!

So, nice to hear from you!

PM me on YIM/AIM at outpostmia or you can drop me a line on IRC. I'm usually signed on unless there's a problem at my apartment.
