Thanks, and remember this is a private forum so it won't be harvested by any bots .

So if I haven't seen you around, please come here:

You can use the java applet or your own IRC client to connect.

Plus you will be able to bounce minor thoughts off in there, and by minor I mean something that doesn't warrant a forum post, but still needs some attention.

Eko - "ideas, research, managment (if you need it) and story writing. "

Anyone can do ideas, so for research how much exactly do you know about D20? Do you have any sourcebooks? I think that would be immensely useful because I myself only have 2 or 3 Star Wars encyclopedias, the rest of the info I find on sites like the galactic empire databank, star wars db, theforce swenc, etc. If you are familiar with all this and more then maybe you should become a researcher?

Management, we will need more as we get more members but they will probably end up specializing in a field, like you could manage all the research members (theoretically). At the moment there really isn't anyone to manage though .

For story writing, can we see some examples of fanfics, or anything else you could back-up your claim with? You understand we wouldn't want to appear like a bunch of high schoolers who aren't going anywhere with this, now would we . An english major/minor would help .

===========================

Mad78 - "It is here i got addicted to 3d modelling"

You know, I must have a hazy memory, but I don't remember seeing any of your models . I did some digging and I only found Krytos and the_mask posting shots of them. Could we see a couple of models before I jog down your name as Modeler? .

===========================

bobandrubert - "um hi can't descibe myself, I want to be Public relations and Lead Test Coordinator and Story Writer and Manager"

Any reason why you should do any of that? Any at all?

===========================

avengre - "I've got some programming skills"

So do you want to get marked down for a programmer? This means you will need to buy Battlefield 2 .

===========================

===========================

===========================

So if all of you guys could just reply and say what you think, we can get this process going. I think we shouldn't start any intensive work (modeling, programming) until we at least have mappers, 2d artists, and programmers who have BF2 .

I won't be editing this post, so just check for replies at the end of the thread!

---JediIgor (Primary Manager, Programming Specialization)

Programmers - Using Python, the programmers do all kinds of tricks to get the BF2 engine to do what we want and are the guys who will end up implementing all of the new gameplay code.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Mappers - Makes the levels for our mod ranging from planetary battles, assault battles, and space battles. Does things such as editing the terrain and placing buildings and spawn points.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Modelers - Makes the 3d models, probably with a tool such as Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender. These models will ultimately show up in the game itself.

--Mad78

--Venator

Texturers - Skins the models, there will probably be a few skins for each model to offer some variety (i.e. snow skin for snow maps?).

---Spots Completely Vacant

Animators - Models won't look alive without these guys, so thank them for knowing how to keyframe/rotoscope!

---Spots Completely Vacant

2D Artists - Draw the HUD, all the icons, the menus, sprites, and so on.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Sound Editor - Without sound the mod is lifeless!

---Spots Completely Vacant

Music Editor - To add flair when the level is loading.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Movie Editor - Something simple in the background for people to watch as they configure or look for servers.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Webmaster/Designer - Someone who will design a website and keep it updated with information. Needs to be purty.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Story Writer - Writes all our stories that you see during map loading, fills the website with beautifully woven articles, and the like. This person doesn't even need to know anything techy!

---Spots Completely Vacant

Public relations - In charge of the mod's public image, this will range from driving recruiting efforts of an able team, to sending out news updates to all BF2, game, and Star Wars news sites.. in three words: hype the mod.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Test Coordinator - Will be in charge of the closed/open build testing, this is probably the least important in the beginning but one of the most important as the mod leaves beta and heads into stable territory.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Stats Balancer - Ultimately makes sure none of the weapons/vehicles/etc in the game are too powerful or underpowered, and if possible remains true to the Star Wars universe.

---Spots Completely Vacant

Star Wars Researchers - For those "in the know" of Star Wars, they should have a very good expertise of the universe (enough to answer 70% on a Star Wars test equivalent of a U.S. History course ). Mainly they make sure everything is "true" to the SW universe and compile a list of things from the universe we can use in this mod (such as weapons, vehicles, ships, etc) -- their stats, descriptions, and anything deemed helpful to the efforts of everyone else.

--JediIgor

Idea Proposers - The idea proposers bring their own fresh ideas to the table, they criticize existing ideas/plans, and they try to steer this mod into being the best.

--Everyone on the mod team

==============================

If you are at this forum for the first time, please post here, introduce yourself, and post your desired occupation. I will then edit this thread to reflect any changes.

To this end, this order of preference will be used until further notice:

--Movies

--Books

--Star Wars Databank

--Sourcebooks

--RPG d20/d6

--Comics

--Games (before prequels)

--Games (after prequels)

--Everything else

What does this mean? This means that if a sourcebook mentions an Imperial tank called the "Imperial-class Repulsortank" (SWJ15,SWJ9), but if a book says there was also a "Century Tank" or "TIE Crawler" (SWDB) used as an assault vehicle tank role, then the latter would take more preference than the former. That means we would try our best at first getting the Century Tank in the game, and then the Repulsortank (assuming there were no other tank equivalents such as TX-130).

So the next time you don't know what to model/implement first, check this order of preference. However, remember than BF2 equivalents is even more important, so if you have vehicles that are very similar in order of preference but you're not sure which one we should use, it will probably be the one more resembling a BF2 equivalent (7 person transport as opposed to 100 person transport).
