im not 100% sure how the system works but is it on the lines of a bunch of Devs getting togeather working on differnt projects?.

If more people knew how to model / map there would be alot more participation.

I wouldnt mind learning my self how to Map. I have a pretty goood idea how important balance is on a map and how to create a sucesful objective plan.
as of right now i am taking an Autocad course i am not quite sure what program is most used by the Dev team.

If you are a Dev or if you have any experiance please give some imput on how the rest of the community could help out.

Help finish the community factions...

If you want to start a new one, me and a couple of guys are wanting to start an Iranian faction. You can help with that.

If anybody is interested PM.

Just an example how I got into this:

I started playing PR regularly in 0.5 and noticed a broken reload animation (The SKS was using an AK-like animation although the magazine was fixed to the rifle). At that time I was participating in an animation class at my university which was a bit too theoretical, so I decided to get some practice by trying to improve the animation. The result can be seen in this video. I then helped the PR team by creating a few other animations and fixing a few broken ones.

After the 0.6 release I was becoming aware of the big problem that our documentation was. The wiki was not very structured and often wrong or outdated. Other than that we mainly had some changelogs and use-created guides. I decided to create a manual for PR. Over the time I was less and less interested in the animations and since Chuc has taken over this department with his extremely high output I have ceased my animation work altogether.

Apart from updating the manual and helping aspiring translators I have been looking at several other things when they came up (mainly fixing bugs or looking for improvements to the mod). This always resulted from a combination of a need or problem and an interest in the topic.

If you want to help out the team my recommendation is to simply try out some things you find interesting and see if you want to use those skills to improve the mod. If all else fails you can still donate

Yea i had that in mind iam thinking i may spend some time searching through the Mapping forum ( i had before and couldnt get past the beginging ) setting base dirt layers and such.. im thinking i am going to give it another go :P .... i think its worth the time and it is always fun to use ur creativity where possible

Interesting how you guys have manged to contradict yourself. After the realease of .9 you (the devs) said that you didn't have any testers with a lowend system, because testers were not easy to find.

Now you say that you're completely full on testers, and that they're very easy to find. What did I miss?

Feri don't dis the Dev's okay? I can understand where they are coming from... it's easy to get confused at times especially with what they are doing. So don't be so critical.

Silly_Savage · 02-24-2010, 08:13 PM

We have Octo; he's the definition of low-end...

His computer isn't that great either.

You make it sound like the devs are senile old men.

Just because they happened to make a pretty good mod, doesn't mean that their word is law, and their actions cannot be questioned.

They definitely don't need more groupies...

Although I'm sure Rhino will deny that.
