EB Help Required Thread

[Bouchious]

Welcome Europa Barbarorum Fans!

Firstly I would like to introduce myself;
I am Bouchious, duely volunteered as the EB welcoming recruitment man. This thread is aimed as a place for fans and talent alike to see what positions are available and wanting with the EB group. Don't be put off though if the job or thing you thought you could help us with isn't there. Contact me anyway; EB is always happy to see people showing interest and offering help, and perhaps you never know, the job you wanted may be available!

Currently, the positions EB are looking to fill are:-
-Skinners- This folks is self explanatory isn't it, We need some who can skin, as always some who can put in the hours so to speak, Work fast and keep a high level of activity.

-A person/persons to make new resource icons for the map. - We are looking for someone familiar with 3D modelling and texturing to do low-detail work on resource icons. Other work will come on a when-needed basis; as usual members who can be highly active an ebthusiastic are wanted.

- Reseachers/Descriptive writers - Many descriptions have now been writen from scratch within EB, but that does not mean they are all there. We require someone who can research and produce building descriptions at a good pace. Access to sources/libaries are always good and healthy athough not essential as a person can always have their knowledge to fall back on! People with an interest or those who are knowledgable towards Armenia, Carthage, Pontos And the Getai are most welcome. As is the norm, the person will have to be active and show enthusiasm.

- As Above - We are in need of members with extensive knowledge of Parthia, Armenia and/or Pontos desparately, To do a job similar to the one above; Descriptions for units and buildings would be done. Knowledge is the key requirement, and as always high activity and enthusiasm are needed. Nayone who is interested please contact me ASAP.

- 3D Building Co-ordinator - We are in need of someone who is familiar with the text files surrounding building placement etc in cities/ on battlemap. This person we need to be able to implement and co=ordinate 3D building work. As per usual high activity and enthusiasm are welcomed openly.

See something you are interested in? Perhaps not? Get in contact if you are interested; Firstly you may wish to just use PM's to get in contact, or you may prefer a more direct approach although not always quicker, email me at bouchious@europabarbarorum.com.

I eagerly await any signs of interest and hopefully many potential new members. -Lu

I have a lot of interest in EB. I wish I could join it but I'm terrible at modding.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

me too

[metatron]

Now, I could do the writing part. How long and indepth are you looking for?

[Zero1]

I'm an aspiring semi-proffesional writer, myself...what sort of descriptions do you need?

[Reverend Joe]

If I get some time on my hands, I can be a writer. Just send me what you want me to write (notes, whatever) and tell me what to do with it. I can be a very good writer when I really put my mind to the task.

I e-mailed Bouchious about recruitment as a writer/researcher, but he asked me to post here too. I am a professional writer with a strong personal interest in ancient history, with access to research materials and some time to invest in working on EB. I'd definitely love to be involved in some aspect of EB's development.

[Steppe Merc]

Any groups or locations you are particullarly interested in?

[Dimitryi]

A lot of my personal interest has been in Baktria lately, researching Greco-Buddhist art for something I was writing. But I noticed you were looking for people to help with Pontus and Parthia, and I'd be willing to help with either of those.

I guess you could say that, in general, my interests are more towards the East (Parthia, Baktria, etc.).

[Steppe Merc]

Any chance Armenia? We need serious help writing descriptions for them...

[Jolt]

Greetings to all. I've been watching closely this mod for a couple of days, and I'd have to say I was VERY impressed at what was accomplished. When I read you were looking for help to write up descriptions, I registered myself for that purpose. Now for my "application":

1. Although I am from a non-English based country (Portugal) I have extensive knowledge of English, and sometimes I express myself easier in English than in Portuguese. I also am a constant writer of English as I participate in Online Simulations of Ancient History/Fantasy games. I've been in those games for a couple of years now. (Here comes the publicity. Feel free to join! )

A Final Fantasy Tactics Simulation. I am a Staff Member there

http://www.heroesofchaos.com
Though the name might be similar, it is a 16th century Japan simulation. I am only a mere player there.

2. I am aiming (still in high-school though) to become a known archeologist. I believe I have a good grasp of history all around and so on the Roman period. As such, this would be yet another challenge for me into improving myself in history. Though I only have limited knowledge of Eastern cultures, their social and military ways, I am more knowledgable on Carthagean subjects and since you were looking for them, I have applied. This is pretty much my number one reason. If it involves history, it can involve me. :P And since this is to become a realism mod, all the better.

3. I do not have any modding experience whatsoever. So if people in the EB want me to actually input my writtings in the game to check if it works, than I'd have to be told how. Meaning, I do not know how to create skins, maps, etc. I like to just write the texts.

Conclusion. I'm pretty much an historian, the previews you gave me have made me try to help you make even a better game. If you think I'm qualified for a writer job (hopefully more directed into Carthagenean affairs, I'd be extremely happy to take it.)

I'm a modeller/texturer and i would like to get involved in EB.

[Moros]

I'll send you a pm tomorrow. Do you have a portfolio?
And thank you for the offer. We really appreciate that you like our mod and even more that you would like to help us.

[TheBigJon]

Well i've got a sort of "teaser" demo reel, which was focused on one character i modelled, rigged, textured, and animated in about just under 3 weeks.

Reel - It's a .exe file 'cuz it's in bink format.
-the model is 5300 tri's, with a 1024x1024 tex map for the body, a 512x512 map for the head, and a 512x512 map for the weapons.

I've also got some other work on very low poly characters and buildings, but at the moment they're tied up in a demo game i worked on last year, and i'm not able to grab them just yet.

At the moment i'm working on a few character models however they're only in the very early stages, and i'd much prefer to be making models for a MOD than just for kicks.

Cheers
Jon

I've send you a pm.

If anybody is really good at XML, and has an understanding of how the Rome.int file (just xml text really; it's in the menu subdirectory) works, we could probably use a little help. Nothing earth-shattering, just a few things we would probably like to do if we had someone who was good at it and had a little time on their hands.
