Help Wanted

[Wyz_sub10]

Hi all,

I'm posting this in a couple of places so that I can get a quick response.

By this point, I hope that most of the community is familiar with CIV Gold. If you're reading this in the project forum, then you obviously are.

In any case, two Gold releases - 5.0 and the Nature of Man - were slated for completion in the summer. The two primary resources, however (Fierabras and me) had overwhelming personal issues to address, and as a result the work has been delayed.

I've organized myself well enough to conitnue on but Fierabras will be taking further time away. In light of this, I am seeking support, both in project development and XML writing. The mods are both close to completion so we are not looking for weeks of commitment, only a few days.

If you are interested, post here and drop me a PM.

Cheers,
Wyz

What are you up to now?

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Well, we have two releases impending -

CIV Gold 5.0, which adds about 10 more civs (getting the added total to 100)

CIV Gold - The Nature of Man, which adds Hitler, Pol Pot, Pinochet, Mussolini, etc.

A lot of the work is done. The remainder is generally:

1) completing some of the UU and UB work (assigning the values, mostly)

2) assembling both packs (as complete and add-on options)

3) converting the graphics to FPK/PAK options**

**There are a couple things to do here. Strip the folders of repeating anim. files and set the XML pointers to existing Firaxis animations; and/or PAK the graphics files to reduce load time.

Is there any overlap on your to-do list with leaders on this list?

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Yes, but I don't have the chance right now to go into detail. I've done the XML work (including pedia) for many or those already, though, including Abu Bakr, Cleopatra, Richelieu, Joan of Arc, Hitler, Hirohito, Lenin, Dido, Vercingetorix, Robert the Bruce, Canute II, Cetshwayo, Nebuchadnezzar, Theodora, Basil, Menelik, Halie Selassie, Charles V, Hiawatha, Geronimo and Johan de Witt.

I also have art for some of those.

Have you fixed the Indian issues?

This list of yours... Is it going to be available in the WOC standard format?

 

[NikNaks]

That's the plan, although I might do two versions.
