do I propose here or contact Kastor?

I want some news saying exactly the same:

"War of the Triple Alliance needs you!"

EDIT: Move this to modding discussions... or i'll feel free to advertise my mod here.

@darkeye - that's not really important, important is that you propose.

@Tahattus - Move! = order? (I've not seen a 'please' - in which century do we live?) well, you've nothing to order me tuhuhatts It's a pity that you're way too proud to have the ability to accept others. I mean that's the contradiction itself, isn't it?

I'll not accept the help of skinners/coder anymore, because YOU SUCK!

Contact me: cellex YOU know THE rest [so why contacting you when everyone sucks apparently?]

However, we are just looking for new interested volunteers, we do it here cause it's the most active forum and not everyone is looking into modding discussion, cause, you know, everyone knows there it's expected to be able to mod or to be a 'nice skilled guy' like you, cause if you're not, you'll get tagged from a 'Supreme Emperor' as someone who definitelysucks.
You don't need modding skills to have a good record device, do you? You don't need modding skills to speak a special language, do you? etc.
We're not advertising for our mod (that's the job of our signatures dude), we're offering a place in a team, and you know as good as me that you won't come through with advertising in this thread. If you still think, this thread is pure advertising, avoid it. (maybe you'll ask yourself why I'm whispering, well, you're only part of the off topic content here, you don't deserve big letters)

I'd like to help, but I have zero modding skills whatsoever (save changing some things in notepad in RTW and M2TW to make all factions playable and such). Would that be a problem to be an interested coder?

I would have to say the most important (and nonspecialized) positions would be the voice actors. Yes, we could really use a UI/portrait artist or an installer coder, but we have practically nothing to work with for some of these civs' voices.

ANYONE with a suitable voice and decent acting skills can do this. We may have to work with you a bit to get an accent down if you aren't a specific nationality, but it really doesn't take as much dedication as the other positions.

Also, don't forget that it doesn't have to be YOUR voice...it can be your friend's, your dad's, your neighbor's, etc, etc. Just as long as that person is interested and willing to work with us, that would be great. Please consider this position even if you are not a modder in any way. There is no reason for you to be.

The most demanding position would probably be the graphic designer. Although, for the avatars, we're looking for more of a plain artist who can scan their drawings. If you are a good artist for unit portraits, I suppose I could Photoshop your units into color if you're not also experienced with graphic design.

"EDIT: Move this to modding discussions... or i'll feel free to advertise my mod here"

Lol, i was talking to Kastor.

"so why contacting you when everyone sucks apparently?"

Who said I'm asking for skinners to contact me? Contact me if you need me in any case.

"However, we are just looking for new interested volunteers, we do it here cause it's the most active forum and not everyone is looking into modding discussion"

"We're not advertising for our mod (that's the job of our signatures dude), we're offering a place in a team, and you know as good as me that you won't come through with advertising in this thread."

Ah, sorry! Let's just delete that forum because not everyone is looking there. I see that you're not advertising your mod, so create this thread at the Saloon.

"Supreme Emperor"

Not only I got that nick, but... I GOT A COOL T-SHIRT AND YOU DIDN'T!! :P

Ok, quit with that you two. Tahattus, if you want to have your mod newsied, then just contact me. And if you has anything against this thread, then ignore it instead of giving NE more clicks! Starting a flame war might be the best way to get more replys, but I'd have to ask you to stop

Now back on topic...

Lol, dear Cherub Player, what kind of "avatar" are you looking for? I may help you.

I'd like to help... but I think my voice is lame However, I could give a Mediterranean taste to the voice (maybe for Italians )

Regarding graphic design, I might be able to draw some avatars... Would it be possible to handdraw them and then arrange them in the computer?

Yeah, why not, try it - but we need a clear, rustless sample from you. That would be nice to see if your voice and the quality is adequate.

Regarding graphic design, I might be able to draw some avatars... Would it be possible to handdraw them and then arrange them in the computer?

If you have a scanner or any other copy/converting tools you could arrange them with photoshop for example.

And I can just agree with that, what Imperiosus said:

Where do I apply then?

And what kind of voice example do you need? Any sentence? Any word? :s

I hope GatoFedorento is +30 years old... You don't want to play the voice of female italian settlers, do you? :P

Just mail your sample to Xastor. Choose any sentence in the language you're able to speak. Later we'll just need sounds like "Yes!" or "to Battle!" (the regular sounds), but to see if you're voice is ok, we'd like to hear a bit more.

@Lord - Only his voice has to be authentic. So we don't really care about the age when the voice is suitable.

OK I've just sent an e-mail to k/xastor... I'm not much hopeful, though.

Alas, what is done is done.

Kastor did you get my e-mail?

For sure - but he won't answer till friday, cause he's on a schooltrip in Portsmouth, greetings to everyone

woops I probley sent him like 5 of the same one LOL

Main post updated.

No one's interested? We are still looking..

Xastor said he would like me to do something but he hasn't told me what exaclty so far. I guess it's not the right time yet.

I can do pretty uber impressions of many people so I would be glad to help. I think i got austrian and berlin in the bag, I'll send you a recording, but send me a list of things you want said, and their pronunciations.

try to get it to me by friday, so when I'm home i can record. well try to get anything to me. just a few lines. i hope my mic is up to your standards

@smashnbash - just speak 1-2 sentences in the language you want to speak. First step is always a sample, so that we can get an impression of the quality of your record device and your language skillz

If we like it, you'll get a list =)

@Gato - what did YOU want to do?

cmon give me something!

I'll do the voice stuff if you would like. It would be awesome to have my voice heard around the world

For reference, i can do each of the following accents pretty well:
From AoE3:
Ivan
Cuahtemoc( i suppose its alright)
Some of Napoleon
Frederic the Gr8
British explorer

Out Of AoE3:
George Dubya Bush
Bill Clinton
John Kerry
Some John Madden
Rocky
The Godfather
Middle east accent
Indian Accent
Pretty much anyone
Really Deep voices
Foreign Accents

EDIT:
Replied before i did, but I'll get one tomorrow, but ya have to give me a line or two. I'll sound stupid if I just go on saying random things in said language

so just give me one phrase, its pronunciation, and I'll bring it to life

[This message has been edited by smashnbash (edited 07-10-2007 @ 09:25 AM).]

Ok, here some things you could say:

"Hi, I'm ... from ... (Forum, City, Country, mother, whatever..) and I would like to make some sounds for Napoleonic Era. The language I am speaking or trying to speak is ... (language)."

"In my sweetest dreams I'm the great commander who is leading his army to victory, but honestly - in real life I am killing bacteria in the kitchen of a chinese fast food restaurant."

"Instead of learning, I am always doing any shit in the internet. I sent my history teacher a message, said I had a satisfying night with his wife and called him 'Captain Jack Sparrow'."

"In November of the year 1630 we found that place of misery. It was a horrifying sight and idolatrous stench of blood and sweat, the fog lay over the field, a scrupulously shape was in my mind and I was scared."

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm afraid of what I might say. I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground!"

"The constitution was a compromise between the revolutionary transformed conservative monarchy and the junior partner of the national and liberal movement of the bourgeoisie. Bismarck had a double purpose in the eye."

any other wishes, hu? ^^
