I think a lot of people prefer to work in small groups/alone. All depends on the project and makers...

The reason nobody took on finishing LoE is because Khellek was very particular about that plugin. It was his baby, and it was pretty clear he didn't want people to take it over should he have to take a break or even abandon it. That's his right, and we respect it.Renwood wrote:Well Carlinho.
I am just as Crazy busy as the most obsessed of them (quit my job to produce TWA) and i was well paid.
I still help Fury on his maps that he makes. Ive offered Mine and ooga's help with your greek projects, but you havent taken us up on the offer.
I think if we all keep to our lone projects or just to the members involved in our current projects teams, we are all looking at least another full year or 2 of development to get our current work done.
There is no reason for this to happen. I would be happy to spend time making maps or testing/getting testers to work on your greek stuff even if it took away from the time that i have to work on The Wind Age stuff.
Your work is great carlinho and i see no reason why you should have to do 99% of it alone for another year or so just like fury, Ozone and Point work mostly alone.
I dont think any of us will be here 2 or maybe even 1 year from now.
So we should all unite help each other where we can, and trade work we can do for others for work they can do for us so we can get ALL OUR PROJECTS FINISHED!
I may not find working on TFV as important as my own project, But i would do all i could to help out fellow myth creators, beacuse regardless of what project we spend time on we are ALL MYTH CREATORS! I dont want to see another LAWS OF EVIL happen! Where 1 guy dissappears and the ENTIRE AWESOME PROJECT is given up on. the lack of interest to finish Laws of evil i find very distrubing. its awesome and looks mostly completed....but the manager is gone and nobody has any interest to finish it.
Nobody has even heard from kel in 3 or 4 years....is he even alive still?
I hope if i dissappear and my project is 90% completed people try to stay true to the vision and finish it without me.

Sure he can. He can have it however he wants, it's his. He can care about it so much that he doesn't want someone else to come in and ruin what he's created by releasing something that wouldn't be up to his standards something that would reflect negatively on his reputation or his personal standards, but still be too busy or no longer interested enough to want to put the time into finishing it the way he wants.Renwood wrote:Really? hmm but is 3 years a "break"?
I dont think he can really have it both ways...its important to him, but not important enough to finish.
From what I hear free upload/download folders are available for the asking from udogs so why would anyone need another upload/download site? Or were you thinking of folders that only members of the group have access to? Or is your point that there is no central 'one stop' place where mapmakers can find _all_ the currently in development projects without having to dive down into every individual users personal folder on udogs?Renwood wrote: The collective group im thinking of would have a simple forum and a uploads/downloads section for all the groups involved to use for their current builds/betas.
PM has no such DL/UL feature.
Maybe just request that Project Magma (or mariusnet) create a dedicated topic for testing/projects-in-progress? It wouldn't be that difficult if there were a seperate high level topic for testing - then each map/project could have it's own topic under that.Renwood wrote: As some have said Magma kind of fills this role allready, But i dont see any tester group on here at all. It would be nice to be able to go to 1 place and read about all the current projects, find out when public testing sessions are taking place. Be able to download all the current project builds from a downloads page.
That may be true, but I am not so sure. I would guess 80-90% of the current players have been playing this game for 5+ years which is an eternity in computer game time - I wouldn't be suprised to find 70% of the people currently playing the game still playing it 2 years - as long as the game still runs well on the latest OSes.Renwood wrote: Another year at the least... in 2 years i think 80-90% of the people who even still play myth will have moved on.
Good suggestions and good discussion, but I think it would be silly to set up a website when everything is so vague and disorganized. seriously, I could set up a website today with forums and an upload and download section for mapmakers but what would that gain? Why would mapmakers frequent this new site instead of ProjectMagma/mariusnet and udogs? I've had experience with the whole "If you build it they will come" website creation philosophy and it's generally not true unless there is some burning need / interest in the site that is not being met by existing site(s).Renwood wrote: This will be my last post on the subject untill there is something more solid like a website.
Maybe all that's needed is some place that ties together all the links. Maybe something like this?Zeph wrote:i agree with vinyl. A new thread on magma about plugins being made would be the way to go.
