the EB required help thread

[Moros]

Welcome Europa Barbarorum Fans!

I am Moros and I'm replacing Bouchois, the former member recruitment coördinator.
I've been replacing him for a while now so I thought it was time to make a new thread wich
I would be able to update. This thread is aimed as a place for fans and talent alike to see what position are
avaible 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 might be avaible!

The current empty spots are:

high priority:

-Experienced mapper: Currently we need an experienced mapper to update our map. For more info take a look here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=62985

-Scripters: As you already know EB has a lot of scripts in it and even more will be included. But at the moment we have a lack of scripters. You don't have know everything about Rtw scripting but experience would be nice. If you don't have that much experience it isn't much of a problem as long as you are quite active. So do you think you can help us with this?

-Recruitment guide writer: As most of you know EB has a complex unit recruitment system. Therefor we are in need of a guide for EB fans which explains how it works. But as the EB members don't have the time of writing one we are in need of someone with a good knowledge of English and a lot of motivation to write one. So if you think you can help us with and if you have the time contact me. (post here, pm me or e-mail)
(taken?)

-Modellers: As you know we’re making a lot of historical units. At the moment we have about enough skinners but we lack modellers. So if you can Model and want to help us don’t doubt a second. Post here, pm me or e-mail me. An example of your work is good but not necessary.

Lower priority:

Ancillary helper: As you know EB has alot of traits and Ancillaries. Therefor we now need someone who can catalog the ancillaries and fill the gaps,... You would be working with Forgus. There are no special requirements nor is modding experience required. You just have to be active. So if you think you can help us and have the time contact me. (post here, e-mail me or pm me.)

- a Multi player and custom battle stat editor: (quite long name, no?) We need someone to make changes for the stats of units in Multiplayer battles and custom battles. Knowledge of the export_descr_unit.txt is preferred.


- 3D Building Co-ordinator: We are in need of someone who is familiar with the text files surrounding building placement
etc in cities/ on battle map. 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.

-Text editor: As you know we have not only changed the game's graphics, gameplay and buildings and units but we've also added a lot of texts: like building descriptions, historical information about factions, trait descriptions, ancillary descriptions and much more. Now of course there also grammar and spelling errors in it (just like this post ).
Therefore we're still looking for people with decent grammar skills who can help us to correct these. Kull, Blacksnail and Lord Elrond have been hard at work but they still could use another hand. If you would like an example of the work you'd be doing you can have a look here:

-Description writers: Many descriptions are written from scratch within EB. But that doesn't mean they're all there.


-We also have room for more skinners or people with other modding capabilities.


See something you are interested in? Perhaps not? Please post here if you're intrested, Do'nt pm me or mail me anymore as I'm away for atleast a long time. you
send an e-mail it may take longer untill I reply). My e-mail is gert.gregoor@skynet.be

Thanks for showing your intrest, the whole EB team really appreciate it.

If you want to offer your help please post here.

We can still need text editors (see above) and we could definatly use help on Armenia/Hayasdan!

[Moros]

I'll be away for three days so if anyone would offer help I'll won't be able to reply instantly.

greetings.

I would quite like to help. Perhaps, give a good website with sources, then I can type out some decriptions.

I would quite like to help. Perhaps, give a good website with sources, then I can type out some decriptions.

Go into the data/text subdirectory and pop open the file named export_buildings.txt. Search around until you find a section where most of the descriptions are written, but a few are empty - and try your luck with one of those. If you'd like, post your choice here and I'll confirm that it's one we need. As a general rule, we aren't looking for generic versions of what already exists, but rather something unique to the faction that's based on research (be sure to cite your sources!). Thanks!

I'll choose the Tsankabad one. Just one question. I'm kinda new to modding, so in the text file it says this:

{wooden_pallisade_romans_scipii} Tsankabad
{wooden_pallisade_romans_scipii_desc}
Wooden Palisade\n\nNew EB Description Required
{wooden_pallisade_romans_scipii_desc_short}
New EB Description Required

Do i write the description into the middle part, or the bottom part?

I could do sprites no problem, or anything art wise for that matter, all I'd ask for is the programs that you are using.

[LorDBulA]

Sprites are generated by RTW (tool is build inside exec).

I'll pm you ASAP
And ofcourse thank you for the intrest in our mod, we really appreciate.
