    • Trying to get a plug-in dev team going.


      I've been coming up with ideas for plug-ins unfortunately I have neither the time or the resources to make it single handedly. I use ResEdit with NovaTools just so you people know. I will need some people for ideas, a ship/graphics designer, testers, and some compilers/mission writers. Post something if you are interested. If you are interested I'll try to keep information and coordination going through this Web Board string.

      Thanks,
      Zerak Toman

      Note: This would strictly be an EVN developers team.

    • LOL, in my short time on the boards I have seen so many topics like this I have lost track of them. In short, I would help you but I'm doing 7 other Plug-In projects right now. 🙂

      Later

      Thanks anyways. If that ever goes down you are still welcome to join the still non-existant team.

      I have to agree... these come up a lot. But I'm always willing to help out anyone (depending on the plug and if I have the time). I'm a graphic designer by trade but being that I have no access to 3D rendering software, creating ships is pretty out of the question. Everything else I can do just fine.

      ------------------
      I used to jog but the ice kept falling out of my glass.

    • Glad to have your help Kame.

      Now I have two people on the team (including myself).

      If you know anyone who would help mainly with graphic designs that would be great. Any ideas you have just post them on the board thank you. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I have a few ideas for a plug-in but they are all small things. Please post a message with ideas

      Thanks,

    • Looks like (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/003196.html")this(/url) needs to be brought up again. This is mostly for individual projects but you might have better luck looking through it.

      ------------------
      I used to jog but the ice kept falling out of my glass.

    • Thanks for the post Kame. I found two people who if they say yes could be a major help to the team. One is a storyline person the other is still pics. I have yet to find a ship graphics person. Keep an eye out for one if you would.

      Thanks,

    • Mmm, not to burst your bubble or anything but I need to clarify something...

      I have to like an idea before I'll contribute any time to it. And I especially have to feel like the project will be completed. If I agree to work on a project I expect it to be finished within a reasonable amount of time - otherwise I'll quickly lose interest and probably won't work with that person again. Also, at the moment, I too am working on a couple plugs which are more important to me. One's nearing beta testing and the other is just in story development.

      I said I'm willing to help and I totally am. I think it would be great to get a small, really tight group of people together to make professional quality plugs. People that commited to their projects. But until I get more information I can't commit to anything. Once your idea(s) finds a solid direction and you start formulating some real plans then drop me line.

    • Keep checking in here then. Once we start to get something solid (or it falls through the cracks) it will be posted here. I hope if we get something solid it is something you will be willing to participate in.

    • Well this isn't going to happen any time soon so I'm delaying until this summer. Thanks to Kame for his help in giving me a place to search for help.

    • I'll join you.

      Stuff I like to do:
      Graphics-I have Meshwork and POV-Ray. I like to do ships, but that's harder with Meshwork. I used to have StrataVision 3D and that was good, but I lost my reg code. I would also enjoy doing space stations. Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of 2D graphics, so my textures wouldn't be the best.

      Storyline-This would just be fun to do. I have a few ideas.

      Map design-I like to do interesting map designs, such a one-system gate to a whole new "galaxy" that can only be opened by running a mission such as launching a space probe.

      Stuff I don't like to do:
      Ship stats-I like doing the graphics, but I don't like giving them stats. I never feel like I'm using the right average values.

      Spob stuff-I can stand it, but it's not one of my favorites.

      ------------------

    • Sorry Diordna, I was going to try to renew this effort this summer but right now I don't have the time.

      Thanks,

    • Please post storyline ideas. Any major work (graphics, ships, outfits, weapons, etc.) won't begin working (unless someone out there really wants to) until this summer. Please read through the recent posts by me to be able to figure out what this is about.

      I know someone that may help, if he wants to, send an e-mail to NSA man, I know he is working, or got a job, he does 3D, he is working on a few plugs, and some sort of 3D game, don't ask him to write anything, he got gov training with computers.

      I have Strata 3D 3.0.2 free (the sucessor to StrataVision 3D) available from my website (see sig). Unfortunately, EVula.org is down at the moment but as soon as it is, you will be able to download the software (you will need to download the resource pack to get the software key - dont worry, it isnt piracy, the software was free until discontinued). Hope this helps you in your graphical endevours,

    • Hey, guys. Thanks for the posts and the interest. If we can get this plug-in started before the summer that would be great. Otherwise we may have to wait until the summer.

      Hi, now for something intelligent, what the heck are you working on, is it a reg. plug-ins ? TC plug-ins ?, a non cheat or cheat plug-ins ? or if you say it will it become vaporware, ?, I also am a Beta tester of plug-ins I do keep things private and don't show other peoples plug-ins to others, a few people know I can be trusted with their Beta plug-ins, ( Note about my work, I do several types of jobs, (I am also Remote Viewer, ESP, Remote viewing is an ability, to look at people, or things close or far away, some employers for Remote Viewers are, large to small companys, Rich people or people who don't have much money, or people just asking for help; The NSA, CIA, DOD, call it intuitive abilitys, My Remote viewing is 100% accurate; The Remote Viewers school in Hawaii said, that I have Supernormal abilities, they are giving me a rating 100%, Supernormal abilities Now that I got that out of the way, My E-mail is NSAgovReconForce@aol.com.
      I am a Supvisor, of the work I do; My other E-mail is also Remoteviewer2003@aol.com

      If you do something right the first time you will not have to do it again, if you don't you will have to do it over again.

    • I am working on two plugins at the moment,but I would be happy to work with the plugin with you. Don't ask me to write stuff though. I just don't have time for writing 3 plugs. I can do mission scripting, ship stats, systems and spobs, govts (if I know the story), weapons, outfits and I have tested 2 EVN Plugins and 3 EV plugs so I am willing to Beta test. If your interested in my help send me an e-mail at Starbride42@hotmail.com

    • Is this a TC or just a massive plug?
