I have an idea but it requires cooperation from as much of the modding community as possible.
The idea is for each Creation & Customization artist to make ONE post each and then post this:
1. What their skill(s) is(are) or which category they fall into from the list below. In other words, 'what do you do' or 'what can you do'.
2. What specifically they are working on currently, if anything, or several things.
3. What they have on their list of things to do, if any. If there is an order to the list, then put the list in order and say whether or not it is in order. If they only know the order of things to do up to a certain point (like only what is next but not past that) then bold the things on the list that are in order meaning the rest is not in order or undecided if they will do it or not.
4. Say if they only do work relating to a certain theme (like only naval ship units or just maps of Africa for example).
5. Say whether they are open to new requests for their services and how long it will take for a new request for their services to be completed. If they have a long list then they can just refer to the list from step 3.
6. State the preferred method of communicating requests for their service (unit request thread, PM, email, IM, or other).
Each person should only post ONCE and then EDIT their post to update the information whenever needed.
Specifically these are the people I would like to post:
**Unit Creators-Making units from scratch, making them from pre-made models (like Wyrmshadow) converting from another game (like Aluminum), pallet editing help, or just making models for others to use.
**Leaderhead Creators-People who find, convert file types, resize, and especially, make from scratch new leaderheads (animated or not).
**Mod Writers-People that could also be Scenario Creators who change the rules of the game a lot to change the game play.
**Misc. Graphics Creators-Buildings, Techs, Terrain, Interface, Title Screen, etc.
**Scenario Creators-Not very much rule changing, just added civs, added units, special map, and city placement.
**Map Artists-To help the Mod writers and Scenario Creators.
**Historical Advisors-Expertise in a certain historical or geographical area to help Scenario Creators.
If I have forgotten any category or piece of information that creators should provide then PM with your comment.
The point is that people will be able to get what they need for mods or other things much more efficiently. I am very excited because if this works I think it will help this forum greatly. I hope the community likes my idea and participates in it.
Participation is the key to success.
This should probably be a Sticky if my idea works.
Please don't post if you are just making a comment about my idea and are NOT a creator. If you are a civ3 artist and you post your information as stated above then you may make an additional comment at the bottom or top of your post if you want.
This is NOT a request thread. Do not post any requests in this thread.
PM me if you have any questions or comments about this idea.
