Steadfast needs help!
Due to lack of personnel the Steadfast Team has decided to look for some new members here on HLP.
What we need are (in order of priority, descending):
GRAMMAR CHECKERS
WEAPON CREATORS
MODELLERS to modify existing ships (adding fighterbays), not to create new ones
SKILLED FREDDERS, able to work with standard- and in-mission-cutscenes. Knowledge of
SCP SEXPs required
TESTERS
Since the Project is ambitious, we’d like to have experienced persons applying here (i.e., for those who want to learn how to use FRED there is the Academy --> NO NOOBS!!!), and, if possible, persons who are able to grant constant presence and availability.
To apply, post here. For any question on the campaign and its status, post here or send me a PM.
Thanks in advance,
The Steadfast Team

whats steadfast?
-
It's an Inferno campaign. One of the most ambitious and complex campaigns ever(FREDding). Darth_DySkO is busy because of the University and I think I will not be able to work on the remaining cutscenes all by myself, so...we're asking for help. I'd like to repeat that we need high level FREDders, and "normal" modellers/modders(the changes to models and table entries are minimal).
-
As Mobius said, it's an Inferno campaign.
I'll provide you some further desciiption when i have some more time, for now i can suggest you to check Skippy's Campaign List:
http://campaignlist.hard-light.net/campaign-92-steadfast_episode_one.htm (http://campaignlist.hard-light.net/campaign-92-steadfast_episode_one.htm)
In any case, more detailed descriptions of the campaign (i.e. mission schemes) will be sent to the new members as soon as possible.
-
By "high level FREDders," they mean people who can make missions of around 100+ kb's. :doubt:
-
Welcome in the Team, snail! :pimp: (or should I say "welcome BACK in the Team"?)
-
Just so you all know, you'll need to PM Mobius for the link to our private forum (admins are myself and Mobius). I'll give you a briefing when you get there.
-
Ah, those evil TSP forums that I forgot about... Are you still using those?
-
If you must refer to them as evil, well yes we are (upon last check :lol:). How are the evil?
-
I have great grammar. But do you really need someone with good grammar?
-
I grammar-checked a few of their missions in the past... and yes, they do. ;)
(No offense intended to any Steadfast people.)
EDIT: I maybe should point out I am not applying to help out. Sorry. I'm just too busy right now.
-
yes, they do. ;)
yes we do!
mobius is italian, i'm italian too, and our english is not perfect.
The grammar check of the 1st episode will be a bit complicated, since mobius continues to modify the missions after he gives them to testers & co.. For the 2nd episode, you'll find long and easy-to-correct Word documents with all the messages and briefings (as well as holes and yellow higlightings meaning "I don't know what word to put here" or "I don't know how to arrange this sentence").
-

The word "but" is a conjunction and should not be used at the beginning of a sentence. :P
Romanes eunt domus!
-
I am we wonder if us are able to fred?

Offense? We're more than proud of having Italian as home language.
I don't feel offended...did you know that I have never studied English grammar? Mine is an "Italinglish" :nod:

Are you volunteering or something? We need super-mega-iper-exa-kilo-tera-high level FREDders. Basically, we need Karajorma but he's busy with his projects.
To be honest, we are in need of one or more expert FREDders. Grammar checkers/testers/modellers can wait...

Yeah, yeah...
'Never-phrases-without-verbs'
'And never start a phrase with a conjunction'
'Don't use abbreviat.'
'"Don't use quotes", as my teacher said'
'Don't use commas, since, they, are, not, necessary'
'They warned you billions and billions of times: don't exaggerate!'
:lol:

Actually it can be used at the beginning of a sentence to emphasize it. However when using it this manner, you run the risk of doing it too often, and that detracts from the quality of the writing.
-

not really. if there are some checkers, i'll "use" them for ep2; modellers &co for the pachet's fighteray and the new weapons.
testers can wait.
so, only AllStarZ is volunteering? C'mon guyz...
@AllStarZ: PM Mobius or Bob-san; for some unknown reason i can't admit you to the private forum, but they can. once you're there, i'll give you the first texts to correct.
-
Romanes eunt domus!
(off-topic)
:lol: I remember that scene. Having taken Latin myself made it all the more hilarious :D
(back on topic)
If no one else volunteers, I'll do the grammar checking.
-
I am very meaning to be help with grammar. It'll be Canadian English. :D
-
not bad. 3 checkers (4 with MP-Ryan who "volunteered" long time ago) are better than 1. :yes:
PM mobius or bob-san for the private forum
ok, now that you volunteered and can't return on your steps (italian translated saying, may not have sense in english) remember, we're non-english people and we want to do an excellent campaign. thus we'll ask you to pay attention not to the grammar only, but also to the style of the speechs.
for example there are some pilots who'll use an almost "slangish" language, while on the other hand emperor konshu's speechs are full of metaphors.
moreover, you'll be asked not to check only, but, to some extents, to "create" the parts of the messages i can't render with my english level.
what you get for doing this? ask Mobius... :pimp:
-
By weapon creator do you mean artist or tabler?
-
Tabler.
Edivad: Prendi il comando e vedi quello che puoi fare con Bob, io non credo di avere molto tempo. Contattami qualora tu dovessi avere un problema. Per il momento puoi mandare i testi di Episodio 2 dato che la massima parte di quelli di Episodio 1 sono nel mio computer(e mi serve tempo per riorganizzarli) :)
It's better for you to contact Edivad and Bob-san, I'm busy at the moment.
-
Tabler.
basically you have to create new beams and bombs, which, of course, must wonk also in the game.

ok. però non so come gestire i fredders che servono a te. nel frattempo inizio con correttori e armi.

Edivad will give you "what to do", Bob will admit to the private forum.

:wtf:
-
I hope you meant work because the thought of wonking beams makes me want to puke. Well at least it would explain the sudden discharges :D

yes, i meant "work". sorry... :lol:
(I ignore the meaning of the other word.)
-
Edivad, what do you want me to do with Cole's application for the TSP/Steadfast forum? What sections is he allowed to view?
-
All of them. ;)
-
I can add fighter bays to existing ships, but I cannot UVmap.
If I can get it in wings with the Textures then no need for UVmapping...
..still need to find a way to do that lol.
-
All of them. ;)
Not happening. ;)
-

all the new members shall be allowed to see the STEADFAST S&G section only (with all the sub-sections). i don't think there is any utility in them seeing the section written in italian.

better than nothing, to begin with.
i'll discuss this with mobius, then i'll let you know via PM.
any other modellers?
any tabler for the weapons?
-
I validated the following...
JBMan
VasudanCommander
I need a list of who to validate and who not to. Remember that, despite the relative insignificance, security is of the utmost importance to myself.
-
What about me? :(
-
I can also help with adding pof stats to a pof.
Weapon points, subsystems, gun points, eye points, paths, thrusters, glow points, and I am learning docking points.
-
What about me? :(
I don't have regular contact with Mobius and he hasn't done anything in the AdminCP since September 29th (17 actions total). In retrospect, I'm in AdminCP right now and I've performed 318 actions total. Cole--I've validated you and I'll await specific instructions from Edivad, Dysko, or Mobius.
Actually... I'll follow the instructions given by Edivad--to allow all **new** members to see the Steadfast S&G section(s).
-
Validate colecampbell666.
But I doubt they can find what they have to translate, that part of the forum is in Italian.
-
Not only is it (steady's normal section) in Italian, but it is also hidden again. I have the S&G stuff and the old S&G stuff revealed to the Steadfast S&G people.
-
Uhh did Admiral Edivad approve?
If so wasn't I supposed to get a pm?
-
I can't access anything. :(
Oh, and I have an Idea for difficulty. In Insane mode, have it Crysis style. In Crysis on Delta (Insane) Mode, incoming grenades are not targeted, enemies speak only in Korean, and health regenerates slower. In Steadfast on Insane, make it so that all text/voice is in Italian, and make it impossible to target bombs. :D
-
Greeeeeeeeat. An otherwise good day ruined by forum problems. Give me a few--I need to sort this out, I guess.
EDIT: Fixed. You should have the ability to view the appropriate forums now.
-
Hi again, everybody.
I hope all the forum-related problems to have been solved. if not, PM.
I'm glad to see that some work has been started, however if i post here is because we still need some help:
FREDDERS
come on guys, I know there are many fredders who try to find a good campaign to work on... so, if you are among those, here's the place for you to post! if not, go tell your mum, dad, friends, & pets, that we need fredders!
