'Demon Campaign' Team Gathering

Hi! I've been working on a campaign mostly by myself, with a bit of advice from people on how some triggers work, as well as Jar making some custom models (under construction still), and I think since I've got the campaign 'running' mostly lined out, it's time to start officially gathering a team. I suppose the best way to do it is to list what I need....

Cinematics: I have NO idea how to barely even get text to synch with talking portraits....more help needed here than anywhere else

Artist: I've got a few needs for flat icons/textures for custom units and wall art, so I need someone skilled at creating custom icons and etc. I can do simple modification, but new stuff is totally beyond me.

Mapmaking: I've mostly got this down myself, but it couldent hurt to have a second pair of hands looking over it, maybe to do a couple maps, too.

Triggering: I can do triggers, but I'm horribly inefficient with no array knowledge, I need someone for cleanup.

Units: I need a few more people to look over the tech tree etc I'm hammering out to check balance and similar...I only have one theoretical 'melee' race, but i also need gold/lumber vs ability balancing....

Modeling: I need someone who can animate static models, and I need someone who can create some 'lovecraftian' monsters, probably by modifying existing creatures.

Voices: Yep, need voices. I've got the professional guy working one one unit's voice, but I've got new untis and characters who need stuff too...

And anything else I missed....

i could help you out with cintematics, but i am currently working on my own project, but its not really going anywhere, considering i am pretty suckful at level design, and i am planning on getting a sound recorder soon, so maybe then i could do more for the campaign, but for starters i will do cintematics, and if you need a map to see how i am at it, then just say so, cuz im working on getting one up ATM.

wait, youre working on a fel orc campaign too? I know its demon campaign i called it but the solid tech tree is Fel Orcs....why not check out what I have so far?

This is the fel orcs stuff as it stands...there are a couple custom models pending completion, for the Fel Marauder and 'Mind Flayer' (tenative name) hero.

Maybe we should compare notes on balancing?

Edit: do you have AIM? We could back and forth more quickly on that. I'm Uratoh42.

well, umm, my first level is going truely slow, but its slowly going up in speed. and you're ideas look good, and nice hero glow BTW, could i ask where to get the files and how to do it? cuz ive got a Fel Orc Raider who is a hero, but no hero glow, just as i have some other dudes like that, a Fel Orc Warlock, a Fel orc Grunt..and i would like to have that glow....thnx in advance :D btw heres how my first level is looking

NOTE - i am too busy too make it a simple w3x, so just put it in your campaign folder in w3 folder, then custom campaign, then i think you will know where to go from there.

this is the glow pack cookie made...you just extract it and import relavant files. Check my triggers in the map I sent to see what sort of trigger works, its not very complex. Someone else made an insanely compex meta-trigger thatd give any hero for any teamcolor a glow, but i find it easier to just assign the ones you need, since this isnt really a melee map.

Razor's failed to get me any sort of demo of his cinematic abilities...so I still have all of the spots open. ah well, I was rather hopeful.

Ur answer is found, im pretty good at cinematics, only been doing them for a month but i know many effects, in the next week i can have a good demo, i may even have a cinematic in the next 2 days, how long do you want it to be!? a minute!? two!? three!? ten!?
im pretty good at story line too if u need help there, and i know triggers pretty well.

Just a minuteish will do....I just need to see what sort of stuff you can do with effects, unit animation, etc. mainly a competency thing, to make sure you can do it. Thanks in advance, and I hope you work out!

sorry, but i have been really occupied, i have formatted recently, and i had to redo alot of stuff[no one would help back up :(], but i will get working on the level again, expect it to be done in like an hour, but it would help if you told me if you want very cool effects, or just basics, or none, very cool means it will take longer, but the result will be better[also, if you dont want me to do some of your cintematics bits[i say 'some' because adhesive has given you a cintematic, and that means 2 cintematic people]

also, very cool effects will make the map a bit bigger, but not massively, and size can be taken down threw compression programs :)

Adhesive, yours is quite good. Razor's promised a demo too so I'll see how he does, but meanwhile, I'm writing up the script for the opening cinematic, if you'd like to do that when its done.

ok, i will leave the starting cintematic to adhesive, and my cintematic for you to see is nearly done, just need to add in some cool effects and stuff, and then i will post it here.

BTW i am pretty good at custom spells and my cinematics are usually more detailed, you know like more small movements oh ya and my cinematics would normally make sense, unlike my demo, lol

BTW when ever i try to download someone elses map it dont let me cause i dont know what to save it as, can sum1 please tell me the proper save title!?
