BTW,

I wish to make clear myself on one very important thing...

The easiest way to work this project would be to simply assign a task to each of you (this is really easy but it is not the way I wish to work).

So listen up and listen good.

First of all you are not playtesters, but you are designers.

This mean, that I am not the one to assign you tasks!

You should take the initiative to do what you think it is right and you may chose to work with activities from the priorities of the list.

Do, as you wish and as you like!!!

I simply opened you a DOOR... It's up to you to pass through this door and reach your target. Whatever target this is.

cheers,
Pyros

Can't resist peeking behind an open door!

As to the priority tasks, coding and map design aren't really my sort of thing. The historical research, AI behaviour and mission types are, so I'd prefer to focus on those.
Determining the general nature and feel of the campaign seems the number one priority to me (also see my post in storyline) since that will be our take-off point and determine the direction of a lot of the other work to be done. Think about type of force (regular army, marines, airmobiles, etc), period (early or late vietnam war or something in between), location (where in Vietnam), etc. Post your ideas and views in the storyline thread and we will see what evolves!

Hi Guys: I am pretty good at map designs so I am willing to work on this. May I suggest that once a person completes a map he send it to another map designer for his constructive input?

Welcome Chris,

What do you think about creating some map samples 30x30 (standards).
This will be a good start in the direction of project homogeneity concerning the same type of maps?

cheers!

p.s see map prototypes

I will do a small one of the A SHAU mountain jungle.

My dial up service really sucks so I won't be on these boards much, however, I am moving in about 3 weeks to the land of the living and will have cable internet. FYI.

Good luck!

I`m up for assisting in anything I can assist with

How about mission types/script and I`ll also be interested in assisting with special weapon research. I could try my hand at map design, but I`m not experience at all in this!

Like Pergite I will be on holiday from 15th August for two weeks.

As for me, I'm mostly a map type, but I have also been experimenting (a bit) with AI etc... Now trying to create sample maps, but so far they don't look good enough to me, but I hope in the next week I will be able to present some. Then leaving for two weeks (hell... I thought I will be enjoying home during the vacations, that means also my PC and SP world, but apart from the abovementioned twoo-weeks stage as an youth leader on the summer camp i almost didn't have an undisturbed week so far

)

Good idea. Having 1 common set of eyes reviewing them would be good for making sure they all have similiar look and feel. Not that they should all be identical BUT that they look like they all come from the same region of the world.
