I'm lunching a new projetc idea and I want to see how many people would care to participate to it.
The basic idea would be weekly meetings on a free vent (which would be skype) to help each other on map developpement. The reason why I'm setting up this project is because, most of the time, what map designer need is 'on the spot' help. Waiting countless days for complete discussion on the forum about a stupid mistake you just can't figure out is sometime frustrating and it is why I wanna try this out.
If it already exist, plz show me where n_n
Abviously, there will be probably more newbies wanting to join in than expereinced played, and thats the problem. We need some nice mid experienced mapper (who mde at least one published map) to help other or it will probably lead nowhere.
Also, behing 20 on a vent will be messy, thats why smaller group should be made if to many people want to try it out. I'm thinking about session of 1 to 2 hours a week and we would decide what we will work on.
I would like the first session mainly to be about trigger. I have some small stuff to sort out for my current game project mecanics.
Information about me :
I'm a low experienced mapper with no published map so far. I have some interesting knowledge, but it's to low right now to solve complex problem. I'm as good in data as in terrain or trigger, I touch everything.
Anybody interested?
Nothing about this is commitment or even teaming, just say yes if you wanna drop in and share knowledge :D
Sure we are! I'm positive Vexal'd be enthousiastic about this idea =P
There... used to be a vent or such, but I don't know what happened to it? When we tried to use it with map night, it required a password? I kind of like the idea, could be cool if enough people care to join in...
Right now im looking around to see if people like this idea and I'm quite happy to find some antousiastic people :D
Talk about it around you, I'm sure in some short ttime we might find enough people to give it a try. Thats quite sad that there used to be an empty chat... Would be nice if it could be seriously implemented in this website.
Maybe one day...
Anyway, SC2 mapping got a bright future with 2 more sequel eventually comming out XD
i know how to make it so we can host the vent server and have others join if you want so you dont have to pay. and you can make sections in the vent so a trigger section a random section a data section kinda thing
hamachi creates a VPN so you can connect to a vent server hosted by one person eg:someone that leaves his/her com on all time
hamachi you can create networks aswell so like a chat room and you can use the ip from hamachi to connect to the vent server that is hosted.
me and my friends use this hamachi/vent method so we can play LAN wc3 and so we can chat over vent and send links and type to each other.
Sure we are! I'm positive Vexal'd be enthousiastic about this idea =P

I believe iMisu setup a password and then... nobody could get on anymore?
so... If anyone wants to setup a new one, i'd be happy to let the public know, :P.

There used to be vent, which wasnt used. Someone recently put a password on it (i was able to use it 2 weeks ago, didnt work anymore on friday)
One idea i once had, which i'm most likely never going to be able to do, was to have some sort of livestream which practically did the same. Get someone on skype who needs help and then do it over the stream, that way we would even have VoDs.
The thing is, i don't think many people would just sit around in vent waiting for someone to come and ask a question >.> I'm pretty sure most of us aren't the mapping hotline kind of guys >.> IRC is ok, cause you can just idle and check every 5-10 mins whether someone showed up, but voice chat is a bit different...
I personally like the idea, and i have no probs with voice chat (Wolf and i stream Map Night, and i used to cast sc2 games before my old headset broke), but i seriously doubt i'd just hang around in vent >.> I visit the IRC rarely enough already.
Thats why I would like to set some specific time where fellow mappers would meet. Something like thurday and sunday around 8 pm.
I don't mind either voice chat or typing, many program offer both... The screen sharing part is the important one. I like skype for it'S freeness and the
fect that it give these three options.
Just having a vent or chat is cool but not enough...
So lets give it a shot at least on skype this week. We will see how it goes and how many people can participate in one chat without overcrowding it. I could make many subjects to make it easier for people who wanna work on specific part of the editor (data, trigger or GD)
Lets say thursday night 8:00 PM NY timezone. I'll contact everybody who left his skype either in this tread or by PM to me.
Most people on here are either EU or NA. So, 6PM CET = around mid-day EST I think, and 10AM PST (Think so anyway). Moving forward 5 hours = 11PM CET (Probably the latest we can really get it for EU), 5PM EST and 3PM PST. Probably the best time to suit all time zones. It also means anyone in asia and Australia can participate, even if it is really early for them.

good luck with this... :)
mapmakers are not really the "grouping" type...
(personally my lack of available hours does not help to make appointments for group mapmaking sorry)
It's not really group mapmaking... It would be more someting like completing each other knowledge. Anyway, we will see if people wanna participate.
There is a mapster vent channel which nobody ever uses.
Sure we are! I'm positive Vexal'd be enthousiastic about this idea =P

Time fo me to carve some skillz!!

What's that supposed to mean.
try the IRC? you get responses off there quick enough
irc isnt voice its just chat though isnt it
@Sixen: Go
Well, nobody ever used it. I expect Misu made it private because of that.
IDK for hamachi... It's a good idea but I'm on a mac and it's stil in beta for this exploitation system.
There used to be a chat/voice chat on this forum? Long time ago before it was set to private?

My skype name is desrosiersfelix.
Well, not EU so i cant participate (if it were like 2PM for you guys i could, but not this way...)
gl hf :)
Thats unfortunate. If it works well, I will prolly see if it's possible to see more different time zone meeting.

True indeed... 5 Pm NY time zone it will be then.
Ty for that information.
