Models & Claiming!!!

#1 A little side note here... I've noticed quite a bit of confusion about who is designing what concepts. If we could make that process a little more orderly so nobody is wasting their time, it'd be super.

(Not that I'm doing any myself... I have no clue how to do such things.)

#2 ok. here is an easy set-up

Model--------------------Modeller

Warning Horn/Bell--------Djaggernaut
Warhammer----------------Strikea
Halberd------------------Strikea [would like assistance]

etc. i dont know what anyone else is doing...but i think we should have this as a sticky and have modellers post what they intend to model. There should also be a skinning version of the same thing. i.e.:

Model--------------------Skinner

Warning Horn/Bell--------Djaggernaut
etc.....

#3 I agree...if there is to any kind of
organisation...it should be total or
not at-all....

Im jst doin concepts jst now...but i would be happy
to help out with texturing/skinning & modeling.....
But there is still no Active task list...

This site needs to be updated + orgainised before the
project starts to suffer...

Most of the people i meet think Realm Wars has been worked on for over a year + its never changed or
has died.....MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE!!!

Update the news...tell the public when tasks have been completed + update the screenshots/Art sections on a regular basis!!!!

A developers news letter would be handy too!

( hehe im done bitchin now ;p )

#4 Matt do you even check the RW Community Project Page?

#5 I dont know perhaps im stupid or something...but other
than the forums..i dont see anything at all...

Is the Task manager active yet?

Why cant i get access to the models? or can i?

I dont even know if my concept are is being created in
3D + who is doing it...

Anway..i dont know whats going on + as much as i like the
project..its a bit depressing :/

-Anyway..back to my lamer coding..

#6 Yes the Project manager is active.

I think the best thing is to mail Pascal to ask him to add a new model you want to do with all the info:
-from what concept art
-if you will make model+skin or if you want help for skin.

Project manager is really useful.

For the moment, I think making a new thread in this forum with in title the name of the models could be cool.
An other way could be to simply create a thread per modeler/skinner/artist.

I mean we make a Decoy thread, a Strikea Thread, a MAtt Laurenson thread, a Djagg thread etc... on for each person where you put what you're doing.
This is provisory of course.

#7 Email up Pascal and let him know that you are intersted in doing some work. Send him a link to your portfolio or some samples of work that you have done (in JPEG format) so that he knows what you are capable of and your specialty. Please note that Pascal is a bit busy keeping things organized for RW Art so he might not respond immediately to your email.

Also please note that Pascal has been given a large list of items that are mission critical (ie. priorities) for milestone 2, so any work that he might ask you to do will come from this list first. But this is something that he will let you know.

#8 Matt,

There is quite a lot of activity going on with RW, alot of it isnt posted about in the forums yet. Its really just got to do with us trying to forge ahead a bit and get something new in game.

As soon as we've done that the new screenshots will be coming thick and fast.

Plus, remember, weve only been officially organising the project for 2 weeks. Its taken me a good amount of time to get some requests in the project manager.

Give us a few more weeks to get sorted and underway and I'm sure you'll see it pick up quickly.

Also, if you can do, drop by the IRC, where myself, Pascal, Logan, Djagg and others hang out, thats the place to get up-to-the-minute-blow-by-blow info on RW and the latest test shots.

Phil.

#9 Thanks Phil + thanks Foster...

Foster - Pascal already knows what im capable of + ive
already contributed some concept work & quick n nasty
unskinned model demo...

Im going to get back to the concepts...this post was really nothing more than a voice of concern + im not trying to offend the other members - im sure everyone is giving this project 110%...its jst that at the moment it seems a bit unorganised...still like its early days...

->Sorry if ive put forward the wrong message...

->(Foster)Also..its seems that you think im not a member
-as far as i know i am....anyway..its not important...
all thata matters is that the jobs get done......

thanks for the feedback :p

#10 Matt don't worry man, things like this take time, al whole lot of time actually...

Working with other people over the net is hard using chat, icq and other programs like that. It even gets harder when your are dependable on e-mail it's a big slow down.

There is also the fact that most (if not all) volenteers have a full time job and since that is generating the money for them it always has priotity... I have been very bussy the last 2 weeks and will be pretty bussy the next 2 working towards my vacation. I really whish i had more time to get my administration all done (writing mails and, job discriptions take up most of my time right now) but i simply don't have the time for it. After a hard days work you don't always feel like working your keyboard pumping out mail, i usually try to relax a bit doing some modeling or drawing...

I hope you (and others) understand that we are really trying to do our best here but that every once in a while we will be tied up in real life and can't do all the stuff that needs to be done for RW at that moment. I asure you that we are really working on making RW progress as clear as possible to everyone it just takes some time.

Hope to be getting some more work from you soon man, i'm really looking forward to that, you know i love your work =O) Speak to you soon man.

#11 Our organization is quite frankly a mess, I plan on talking to the other leads about this tonight. Its clear to me that nobody can tell what the hell is going on, which is a bad thing. I can't even tell what is going on half the time. There are too many sources of information here, IRC, chat, forums, project manager, etc all saying different things.

We will get something more definitive in place soon.

#12 Hey id jst like to thank everyone for replying to
this post :)

I feel confident about this project now...

hehe..can someone tell me how to setup mirC
so that i can get onto the RealmWars room...
Thanks..im a Net idiot..i can program in
several languages..create 2D & 3D Art...but
Net stuff...well..cough..im crap..cough! ;p

thanks + i hope to have some more work done
for you guys by next weekend - cheers! +
thanks again :))

#13 Ok, that's simple:
D/L mirc :o) (www.mirc.com)

Install and open it.
Click on the little hammer on the top.
You'll have a server list. Click on add. Enter what you want in Description. And enter this for the server:
irc.maxgaming.net
Click on OK then Connect.
A new window will appear. Enter Garagesgames into.

That's good. In the future it will be simpler.
