[Hades17]

Terrainer-Spot is filled now
Let's do this awesome project

 

[Edhel-dur]

Welcome to the Team

 

[Sverkerman]

We are actually recruiting an additional Terrainer.

 

[Bugz]

I arent sure i got time to make the website; also it's not needed for a very long. Also i got recruited by a team to something else.

 

[Kanadaj]

If you cant make it when the time comes my brother would gladly help ^^

 

[Risk.frishers]

we are actually recruiting an additional terrainer.

How long have you been playing Warcraft 3?

I've been playing WC3 for around 4 years by now. Slightly different times however.

Which position within the project would you like to cover?

I'd like to cover a terrainer slot.

How long have you been doing "your thing"?

I don't really know. About 2-3 months I guess. Before that I played a lot of SotDRP.

Which previous projects have you been a part of?

I was a fill-in terrainer at Bosses of Warcraft and did the terrain at version 0.58. I've also been having a few projects on my own, but they died or froze.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/risk.frishers/albums/

What was your role within these?

At Bosses of Warcraft 0.58 I worked temporarily as a terrainer. In Druids of Azhara I did almost everything but half the coding myself.

Do you have skype?

Yes, I think we both know that, hehe.

Do you have a mic?

Yes. I recently put my hands on one.

How old are you?

I'm 15 years old.

Tell me a little bit about yourself?

I'd rather not spread my lifestory on Hiveworkshop, and since you know quite a lot about me, I'd respect if you don't make me do it. Incase you find it important, please tell me, and I'll do it.

Why would you like to join this project?

I'm tired of working alone on projects, and would like to be in a group working on a project, which would make it faster, less work, and many more ideas!

Why would I prefer hiring you instead of someone else?

I hope that the other words in the application can describe that. I don't like repeating myself, and this is becoming an awful lot of text.

Do you have access to a fully working version of Newgen?

Yes, matter of fact I do.

What country are you from?

Originally, I'm from Sweden. But I recently moved to Hong Kong.

Which days and hours are you available?

For the moment I tend to go to bed after six in the morning, and then awake slight before dinner. In Swedish time I'd go to bed around 23.00 and awake later on around 12.00

Anything else which you would like to mention?

Not really.


Sincerely, Fredrik.

 

[Sverkerman]

Risk.frishers your application has been declined.

Your terraining skills are not even close to our standards.

Also the version in which you helped out with terraining in the Bosses of Warcraft project was never released.

 

[AL0NE]

How long have you been playing Warcraft 3?
Honestly, i cant remember it exactly. probably 5-6 years.
Which position within the project would you like to cover?
2D Artist
How long have you been doing "your thing"?
Since last year. Around October.
Which previous projects have you been a part of?
I'm just helping to do Photoshop-related stuffs. And most of the time, i volunteered. As a result, technically I'm not IN any project's team. Probably just in the credits ( if the project maker appreciate my help, i think )
What was your role within these?
2D artist
Do you have skype?
I have the program, but my mom used it only to contact with my brother which is studying abroad. I don't have an account, but I can create one. The reason I don't have one is because it's not exactly a popular program here. well, at least not for me and my friends.
Do you have a mic?
It comes within the webcam. But not very high quality.
How old are you?
16 years old.
Tell me a little bit about yourself?
Not really sure what to say. Ask me if you have the questions, but i hope it's not too private. lol
Why would you like to join this project?
I've thought of joining a modding group but not sure where to start. Hope it is here.
Why would I prefer hiring you instead of someone else?
I'm actually asking myself the same question..
Do you have access to a fully working version of Newgen?
Yes, but I've stopped operating it for quite a while. mainly because i'm still not good at triggering (mostly Jass) and i lack the enthusiasm to learn it.
What country are you from?
Malaysia
Which days and hours are you available?
It's pretty random actually. mostly afternoons and nights. I'm still a student so there will be schools during mornings, and I'm in a concert band ( school co-curriculum) so it have quite a number of practices, mainly Saturdays. It depends. If there is an upcoming event, we'll need to practice more days.
Anything else which you would like to mention?
The custom UI list sig is made last year. And i'm still lazy to remake it. Don't be bothered by it. D:

 

[Razosh]

Yay AL0NE is more epic then Malygos! Maybe a litle overselling but AL0NE knows what he's doing and I think he would fit well in the team.

 

[Sverkerman]

AL0NE I know you, I know your art, I know your professionality.

Your application has been accepted.

Now get yourself a skype account and add following account to your friend list:
Zorenas_adrian

 

[Razosh]

Wow... that's a... big list

 

[Edhel-dur]

What list ?

 

[Razosh]

The list of people AL0NE should add on skype.

 

[Arisato]

I've sent a message to the project leader and i hope i get approved

 

[Catch_ya]

Well Sverkerman, you do know me, and I do know you, and I see that you already have 3 coders, but if you for some reason needs another then I'll be there. By the way I also got Skype now, so I will fill out the application form.

I have been playing warcraft for 6 years

Coding.

I have been coding Jass/vJass for 3 years and I can do most possible stuff.
I have been apart of several projects, mostly RPG maps which because of the main creator, haven't been released. I think we talked about my projects and such.

Coding and some of them, terraning also.

Yes I do have skype.

Yes I do have a mic.

I'm 16.

Well I usualy play football but I also think that Warcraft 3 is really interresting and I would be sad if the game 'died'. I do also play DotA which many of the hivers doesn't like though.

Because I know you are a very good project developer, I spotted that the first time I saw your thread about Truevision RPG.

Because I got alot of time during weekends and I'm on most of the time everyday 20:00-23:00.

Yes I do have access to a full working Jass New Gen Pack.
I'm from Denmark, neighboor!

I'm avaiable mostly weekends, but also everyday from the time range 20:00-23:00 and also 16:00-19:00 sometimes.

Yes I would like to mention that you should consider hiring me as I'm a reliable editor and I will do my job.
Thanks for your time!

 

[Bugz]

A danish duuuude!

 

[Sverkerman]

Catch_ya your application has been accepted.

I know you from your previous projects as well where your coding has been up to our standards.

Get on skype and add Zorenas_adrian to your contact list.

 

[Foronisus]

Sverkerman you forgot to add ALONE in the first post as Photoshoper

 

[Bugz]

I am gonna have website lessons this year, you can count me back in!

 

[Foronisus]

At school??? Me too i will have website lessons too

 

[Sverkerman]

I have not yet been able to speak with AL0NE on skype and thus not accepted him to the team. The application accept means that I am interested in speaking with the applyer via skype, not that the applyer is a part of Silentworm Entertainment.

 

[Hagge5]

I have not yet been able to speak with AL0NE on skype and thus not accepted him to the team. The application accept means that I am interested in speaking with the applyer via skype, not that the applyer is a part of Silentworm Entertainment.

He seems like a really nice guy, though. I would love working with him.

 

[Sverkerman]

Info!
We are still looking for terrainers, 2D artists, modellers, animators and voice actors!

 

[Razosh]

Oh I really hope voice actors will come to use I love when you actully hear voices instead of reading texts it makes everything seem so much more real ^^

 

[Edhel-dur]

I hope for more voice actors too.

 

[Eldubs]

What do you seek to be a voice actor?

Edit: I mean what kind of a voice actor?

 

[Sverkerman]

One that uses Audiacity to produce sounds and sound effects which the team request.

 

[redscores]

How long have you been playing Warcraft 3?
Since around 2003

Which position within the project would you like to cover?
I can do nearly everything from terrainer to triggerer or JASS maker, it is your decision, but I am best at creating spells.

How long have you been doing "your thing"?
Since I started playing Wc3, the editor always fascinated me, I even mapped before on age of empires

Which previous projects have you been a part of?
Well, Ive won a 3rd place award by working together with one of the best terrainers FamousPker49 (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/ice-forge-v0-05-a-109188/), I have done several single projects which are in my resources on Hiveworkshop, a few Maps (like Boss Fight Maps, AoS maps, Dungeon Crawler Map (Ice Forge mentioned above), several C++ Programming Projects (I am a computer scientist assistant capable of c++ and some other programming languages). Of course there are even the projects I did in my Mappers4Life clan time, but sadly that clan site is down and with it the team... so yeah...

What was your role within these?
Mostly spell maker, terrainer or idea creator/leader.

Do you have skype?
Yes

Do you have a mic?
Yes

How old are you?
21

Tell me a little bit about yourself?
My real life name is fabian saam, I am a german computer scientist assistant, I love to create things from scratch and using my creative abilities, I play sometimes Dungeons and Dragons with friends.

Why would you like to join this project?
Because I think that it is time to bring more professionalism into my mapping, I mapped for such a long time in Warcraft 3, I want to evolve, and your offerings sound interesting and give me a chance to do something more.

Why would I prefer hiring you instead of someone else?
Well, 8 years of experience, programming experience, vJASS experience, debugging experience, project experience worth of 10 years, terraining experience, game design experience and a friendly mindset would be some good arguments I hope.

Do you have access to a fully working version of Newgen?
Well, yeah, why would that be a problem?

What country are you from?
Germany, but I write fluent english as you can read.

Which days and hours are you available?
Well, currently I am nearly always available, currently I am searching for a advanced scholarship as programmer.

Anything else which you would like to mention?
Just that your idea of creating this team is really cool and could give this wonderful community a big helping hand by developing something meaningful.

 

[Sverkerman]

redscores - accepted

 

[Switch33]

This isn't an issue:

Not to sound rude or anything; but why so many members? I mean you've got like what 13 people now? That means a map has to be traded around 13 times(or at least 6-7 for only coders/object editors/terrainers) before everyone has even seen it. Well what happens when one person edits/ makes a change; do the others have to wait for that person to make the change then relay it to the next person?

I just can't imagine a fair system that'd split a map between so many people-- at least terrainers and object editors will have issues since those 2 cannot be done at the same time unless the object editors know lua(so the object editors can edit while the terrain is made); which I don't think you specified as a request/skill.Good teammates are great; but too many means that the map will have issues with relaying the newest version of the map.

This might be an issue:

And aren't you paying these people?(I thought it said that in the first post); So payment can be an even more confusing principle; do people who script get paid as much as people who terrain or object edit etc?

Just saying you should relay these sorta questions to the team and discuss em at least. I'd hate to see a great team go to waste because they can't hold the project together.

 

[rysnt11]

Just using the object merger would do the job, object merger allow every map maker to merge (not replace), any object editor, sound editor, trigger editor, even the map's terrain editor's data

 

[Switch33]

Yeah, i forgot about that feature of JNGP; but theres still the issue that terrain can't be copied (destructable heights can't be copied). I know for a fact there is at least that issue so some coordination between all the terrainers will be necessary. Unless merge files fixes this; I haven't had any experience with that "merge files" feature.

 

[Sverkerman]

The amount of people is not a problem. We will mostly create campaigns since they enable several terrainers to work at the same time.

Coders are atm working with our main systems which will be imported to each map that the campaign contains.

Money will be split equally and payed via paypal.

 

[Switch33]

Well then-- sounds good. Best of luck. And you can add me to the beta testers list if you want.

 

[Sverkerman]

I can't see any application?

 

[Switch33]

Sry. Thought applications were mainly for just the people who did the editing.

Here it is:

How long have you been playing Warcraft 3?
7 years on/off i stopped for a year i think once

Which position within the project would you like to cover?
Beta Tester

How long have you been doing "your thing"?
Been mapping for like 7 years now or more.

Which previous projects have you been a part of?
Several things over the years. Got a habit of not wanting to release anything unless its really worthwhile though.

What was your role within these?
Been mapping for like 7 years now or more. Using vJass for at least 3-4 years. I also know a few other things like modeling etc.

Do you have skype?
Yes; Switch33

Do you have a mic?
My laptop has a webcam mic

How old are you?
20 soon to be 21

Tell me a little bit about yourself?
I am a college student studying marketing and probably going to apply for a job/internship this spring or summer. I'm free most of the time besides that except for certain occasions for college.

Why would you like to join this project?
I'm usually available for testing. I've been around wc3 long enough that I know most of it.

Why would I prefer hiring you instead of someone else?
Are such qualifications even required? This is a beta tester position. Well anyways; I've beta tested before for certain maps of friends tons of times. I can give constructive criticism and can tell bugs/balance issues. I also edit maps a lot so I can pin point where some bugs in a map may lie even from just testing.

Do you have access to a fully working version of Newgen?
Yes

What country are you from?
US

Which days and hours are you available?
Weekends usually i'm free. I keep skype up like 24/7 even when i'm not there. So i can usually meet an time or plan ahead as long as i'm given some ahead notice.

Anything else which you would like to mention?
Shouldn't there be a shorter application for beta tester? lol. . .
I think i'm currently banned from USEast at least until this weekend or so (Stupid diablo 2 has an issue with banning people for joining/leaving games too fast.) So you can freeze my application at least until monday if you want it's whatever.

 

[Sverkerman]

application - accepted

 

[Catch_ya]

I think i'm currently banned from USEast at least until this weekend or so (Stupid diablo 2 has an issue with banning people for joining/leaving games too fast.)

You know that this sort of 'ban' only last an hour or something alike?

 

[Edhel-dur]

For multiplayer maps we can use Garena for testing.

 

[Razosh]

For multiplayer maps we can use Garena for testing.

Yea, this is going to be single player map so multiplayer isn't going to be possible.

 

[Switch33]

You'd think that'd be the case Catch_ya; but it's not. Bans with Diablo 2 get perpetually longer and longer the more you do what your getting banned for like joining games too fast with a maximum of 2 weeks. I've checked multiple occasions and I think i'm probably at least banned until the end of this weekend or so. I consistently get: You appear to be IP banned. Error! 10054
when checking the bnet diagnostic tool(http://win32.lordaeron.org/BnetDiagTool.html).

It could maybe also be some other strange error that i'm getting from reseting my router or something but that doesn't make much sense either.

This is the best bet at what happened to my restriction explain'd: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=13771067124&sid=3000

I somehow got in the unlucky situation of being banned for like 2 weeks for pretty much nothing.

 

[Edhel-dur]

We are still looking for:

• Environmental Terrainers,
• 3D Artists,
• 2D Artists (Skiners)

Our current project is a Single Player RPG with a Turn Based Combat System.

Application formula here.

 

[Luorax]

Turn Based Combat System? Unsubscribing.

 

[dudeim]

Turn Based Combat System? Unsubscribing.

Why would you unsubscribe because of a turn based combat system?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Maybe because it's pretty hard to do and it can be really slow & boring?

 

[Luorax]

it can be really slow & boring?

^this. I prefer action and fast gameplay. A turn based combat system would make the map damn boring. Since combat is like 75% of an RPG map, it's enough to unsubscribe.

 

[Razosh]

Really because I would like if this game was like Dragon Age where you can solve problems with either fighting or talking and people have descision about what they should say next so that it would not only be battle after battle after endless battle mixed with some farming for proffesions. And since that would be fun not only because of the fact that you got to use your brain and not just your sword, but also because of the fact that it would be a perfect way to build up your personality.
