[n003lb]

Skills: Been using 3D Studio Max & G-Max casually for about 5 years now as a hobby. I can't texture worth a damn, but I feel I am pretty good at the modeling aspect, though I'm still learning. I know HTML, a little C/C++, and I'm currently learning Python and XML. I am also quite proficient at image/photo editing.

Current: Nothing for Civ. I am currently making a new Locomotive for Trainz Railroad Sim '06. Also, I am modeling a number of starships for use in a universe that I base a few short stories on.

To-do: Generals Mod, Real Airships Mod, Crimsion Skies Mod.

Theme: Industrial Age, Early Modern Age, Sci-Fi.

Availability: My time is pretty well taken with other, more important things than game modding. However, if you need some help with modeling in 3DS Max or g-max, send me an email and I'll see what I can do.

Communication: email, PM (although I may not get it for some time)

I am working on a U.S. Civil War theme. There are a lot of aspects that I would like to take in, and while I will need lots of graphical help down the road, I will need more help in:
- configuring extra diplomatic functions (Territories to become States or leave the Union/CSA, French/English influence in the war)
- creating unique units (i.e. Generals) that provide bonuses to units in the stack or adjact
- creating unique names for units (i.e. when a unit is created it takes on a numbered designation like the 20th Maine)
- creating balanced alternate win conditions (if the north has enough unhappiness/war weariness it will seek peace, etc)
- configure religion to be State's Rights vs Federalism, and this would be the major influence of how Territories decide which side to fight for, or to remain neutral.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'll be working over the next several weeks on some of these ideas and how they would balance out.

 

[KingTux]

1. Your skills*

Misc. Graphics- 2D (Since 1996)/ limmited 3D (Since 2001, enhanced greatly in 2006. Now a decent 3D artist, but I'd rather focus on other areas of mods, namely code. So, unless I feel that it's not getting done anytime soon or if I end up having the patience to try to model, I won't be contributing much in 3D. Also, I'm thinking of backing off of 2D graphics slightly to make more time for code.)
Mod Design (Since 1996)
Scenario Design (Since 1996)
Reference/Research (Since I was 2 or so j/k)
Text (since 1990-1991, I think)
XML (It's just like HTML, so there's nothing to it)
Python (I can learn any programming language in about a week, tops)
C++ (I've been programming for fun since 1991.)

Basically, I'm skilled in just about anything but sound and music.

2. What you are currently working on
Going to college. Finishing finals. Perhaps next week I'll try to memorize the SDK to finish up my guide and to start a new secret project.

3. Your to-do list
Attend college and study all night long . Sleep is for the weak.

4. Your preferred theme, if applicable (ie, fantasy)
I'll do almost anything, but I need to have a general picture of what you're looking for before I'll commit to anything (basically, you have to sell the idea to me. If I find it interesting, I might do it).

5. Whether you are open to requests, or when you will be
Not at the moment. I am fully capable of doing work at the moment, but I'm not planning on starting any new projects while in school. I'll be out of school about September.

6. Preferred method of communication (PM, email, etc)
Yep, PMing works. Just remember that I won't be looking at Civilization for a while, so don't expect my answers to always be exact, or expect me to get anything submitted while I'm in school.
