Thank you for your interest in helping the development Syrk: The Unification Wars!

If you're interested, then please feel free to post here and I will get back to you as soon as I can



Testers:

We've made some massive changes in regards to ship handling and stuff like that, now we'd need people to test these. The bunch is kinda dormant nowadays.

Because we've had some issues of this before, let me point something out: while spotted FREDding issues will be noted, we can't guarantee an immediate fix as of yet because it is more important to make sure that the gameplay is not frustrating, but fun. Please take that into account and send me a PM if you'd like to partake!

Texturers: we already have MatthTheGeek onboard but I'm sure that a helping hand can never hurt.
FREDders: Almost all of Act I's missions are FREDded now, and even though balancing will definitely take some effort, we have the manpower to tackle this.
Tablers: At this moment, we've got everything done for Syrk table-wise and we have enough tablers onboard to make the necessary changes.

That is that for now, further edits will be coming when/if needed.

what tabling work do you need?

[General Battuta]

get svn, increase productivity by 1241 percent

what tabling work do you need?

Right now ship tabling and weapons tabling are of the highest priority.

[headdie]

I'm interested

Here is an example of my tabling

This is from a project I am working on slowly and am not doing a huge amount with at the moment.

contained are tbm files for 3 ships and several weapons, know issues are that the close up on the Demolisher is set a little close and I am still balancing the range on the slammer missile which I am working on setting as a multi stage missile.  everything is currently in TBM as opposed to full tables while I get everything working as I want and then assemble it all later

and apologies on the texturing crude would be a gentle way of putting it.

[dragonsniper]

I'll take a look at it when I can. I'll also contact you through PM regarding this.

[Sifle]

I can beta test, and I am also very familar with FRED.

[dragonsniper]

We can keep you in mind for Beta testing, although it may be a while until testers are needed. If interested in FREDing, feel free to send me a previously done mission file to my e-mail ([email protected]) or you can post it here and I or someone else can take a look at it.

[Sifle]

Okay here is my mission (attachment). It is an FS1 mission of a GTI fighter wing that takes place half a day before La Ruota della Fortuna. Requires FS-Port 3.2.

[dragonsniper]

Cool. I'll take a look at it within the week, and get back to you about it via a PM asap.

[Lucika]

I will probably take a look on it as well! Thank you for the submission

effects?

[Lucika]

Could you tell me a bit more specifically what kind of effects you could put together? Ship and weapons related graphical effects, or something else that currently escapes my mind?

[TopAce]

I believe weapon and explosion effects are the prototypical graphical effects for games.

And by the way: Why do you call FREDders PETERers or BOBers?

[General Battuta]

Fred, Peter and Bob are all common male first names, I guess?

[Lucika]

Battuta, you get a cookie!

[TopAce]

Fred, Peter and Bob are all common male first names, I guess?

And that's it? I thought there was a good reason why he chose exactly these two names. I associated "PETERer" to the phrasal verb "peter out." I was wondering if there was a connection.

[Lucika]

Nope I'm not sure how these names came exactly to my mind back then.

[sarcasm] However, SIMONer, JOEer, CHARLESer, and possibly NICHOLASer could apply as well. [/sarcasm]

effects?

can we have a comment about this??????? 

personally speaking the weapon effects in MVP and Port look good but a few custom effects would be nice and help give the mod a more individual look

If you can make a giant cone of green ice cream arrive every time the player gets a kill, you'll be personally mentioned in the campaign
