| | Team Blur Is Looking For Mappers, Artists, Modelers, Sound Artists, Coders etc.. - Community
Posted by: Hfx-Rebel on 09-24-2008 @ 21:28 - Source: http://www.quake2evolved.com/overdose | | This News Item has been viewed 3401 times!
The guys over at Team Blur are committed to bringing you the very best experience you can get from a free online game, and as such they know they can't do that with as small a team as they have right now. Currently the team consists of three full time members, Berserk working on code, Mo working on weapon models/animations and o'dium working on just about everything else. Currently their SVN sits at around 4,000 files, from map models and weapons, to textures and art. That's an amazing resource for a part time mapper who does maps for a hobby to come in and help out if he wishes, because the media is there, and what isn't, the team will make for them. And there's the problem. Even though OverDose is moving along, it's moving along at a slower pace than they would like.
Thus, Team Blur is currently looking for anybody to come in and help them with media. They currently don't have any completed maps for OverDose, only SDK maps. They currently don't have any player models for OverDose, only concept art. They currently don't have the team they would like, and they would like anybody who feels they can contribute to the project to get in touch with them.
Quote:
Here is a re-cap of some basic gameplay features OverDose has:
· Team/Class based multiplayer pits the struggling Confederate Marine Corps against the invading alien Marauder's in a classic RtCW style team based game.
· Fight over huge terrain and take the battle to the Marauders or defend against the evil Earth CMC forces in smaller classic corridor shooter maps and vice versa.
· Weapons are customisable, with scopes, laser sights, silencers etc, with changing attributes to balance the gameplay.
· Weapons for the CMC include the deadly Flamer, the awesome RPG, and the deadly Sniper Rifle among others.
· Weapons for the MDR include the deadly Spiker, the flesh ripping Shredder and the high precision Railgun among others.
· With teams highly balanced but A-symmetrical, choosing the right class is a life or death situation for you and your team.
· Compete online with persistent game rankings, built in VOIP support, clan logo and team names, plus many more.
· Customise the appearance of your class, with different skin tone selections and faces.
· Using a highly customized engine, OverDose not only delivers "Per Pixel Lighting", but also "Soft Shadows", "MD5Mesh/MD5Anim" models for weapons/players, a highly tweakable "terrain and foliage system" and more kick ass stuff than you can shake a chicken eating a shoe at.
· Plus much, much more...
As you can see, not only is OverDose on the right lines to delivering a kick ass FREE game to everybody, they also believe they have an amazing community already built upon their last project, Quake II Evolved. "To steal a quote from the awesome Cliff Blezinsky himself, we want OverDose to be "Bigger, better and more bad ass" than anybody is expecting. But to do that, we need help, we need team members."
Anybody who feels they have what it takes to work with us on this awesome project please get in touch with them via either e-mail or the community forums (Links below). As a bonus, they have also supplied a few screenshots of the project in progress.

| | Quake Wars Reborn Coming Soon - Mods
Posted by: Enemy1 on 05-28-2008 @ 13:24 - Source: me | | This News Item has been viewed 5092 times!
OK, well I don't know whether this is the right place to talk about my own stuff, but I'll go for it anyhow. I'm not trying to show off or wahtever, just ask for a bit of help and show what I've got done so far. With all that being said, if a moderator thinks this isn't fitting for the news, then please remove it.
First an introduction about my gaming self. I'm Slayer_2, keep that name in every game, and I'm a big QUake fan. Notice how I call it Quake Wars instead of Enemy Territory or ETQW Anyhow, pretty much I'm resposible for Quake 4 Weapons Realism Mod and Quake 4 Reborn with some ideas and a few textures from other Quake 4 modders, a big thanks to all of them. So, I recently released Quake 4 Reborn, a similar mod to Q4WRM with new menu's features, tweaks and whatnot. On to the real topic though, QWR. For those of you that are thinking it, this is not really similar to the other realism mod, as I'm going deeper into more intense realism.
Quake Wars Reborn is the same idea as Quake 4 Reborn in that I'm aiming for a more gritty realism then Quake Wars came with. If you're a lucky owner of both Quake 4 and my Q4R mod, you'll notice that I tried to make a more tense atmosphere while attempting not to go overboard and create wreck the fun of Quake 4. So, I'll lay a nice list out for you of what I want to do for QWR. I've been running into this problem though. Pretty much third of the features I want can't be added thanks to it. The other third isn't done due to my lack of Quake Wars modding knowledge, but thats not really a huge problem. Here's how my problem happens.
About 40% of the .def files cause my QW to hang with a white screen.
Let me explain. Take one of the troublesome ones, the GPMG or Shotgun, or any of the item weapons such as smoke grenade, health pack, you name it. I put it UNMODIFIED in my .pk4 file I'm using, then start up QW.
All's good until I load up my mod at which point it starts to load (leaves to the desktop for a second) then when the loading screen appears, it's pure white and nothing happens, I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get rid of it.
I've tried waiting for about half an hour, but as I predicted, nothing happened. Not even an error message.
Anyhow, if I can get around that and the learning curve for Quake Wars modding, V1 should be ready for your enjoyment. I may just release V1 as-is until I can get around these problems.
Now, my promised "feature" list, "X" means done, "W" means WIP, "C" means too huge to do without a lot of consideration, "I" means incomplete due to that annoying bug and "-" means it's so big or complicated, it's on my to-do list for other versions:
-Various weapon tweaks: clip sizes, ROF, damage, etc (X)
-Vehicle tweaks for much more health and no decay and more realism (W)
-Huge changes to Strogg weaponry to make them more like Quake 2/4 style, Nailgun is fully auto and such (X)
-Class change's for the Strogg's, so all the classes are monsters from Quake 2/4, like the Berserker, Tactical, Light Guard, Light Commander and maybe even a Repair Drone (with weapons and kamikaze attack) (C)
-Darker, grittier and tenser environment (-)
-No regenerating tools anymore, for example: you start with three mines and after that, you'll need to get them through ammo crates or a Technician/Field Ops (C)
-Removal of Strogg deployables, except the radar, in return for huge amounts of health (berserker gets 350, etc.) (C)
So thats it, tell me what you think, if yo can offer me help with my problem, the please email me at: eotcrew AT gamil DOT com,
Slayer_2 out.

There are four official campaigns, why not include them all in the poll? You left out the Africa campaign, which is my favorite. So I guess I'll choose 'other'.

| | Quake Wars Files, Looking for Staff - Site News
Posted by: Enemy1 on 02-10-2008 @ 10:25 | | This News Item has been viewed 5182 times!
Do you have the talent to become one of our staff members? If so, we have two more job openings available at the moment, these are:
Quote:News Hound
As a news hound your primary goal is to go frothing and wild-eyed into the world wide web and ring it for all the news possible. This is another job that is very time intensive as you'll be visiting news sites, mod sites, gaming sites, forums, IRC channels and so on looking for news to post every day. You can apply to do Half-Life news, Half-Life 2 news, or both.
Duties
* Locate news through various forms of media such as websites, IRC channels, forums, e-mail, or magazines. You do not have to have any magazine subscriptions to apply of course (just helps when looking for additional news).
* When a news item is found, add it to the appropriate website. Along with your own comments on the piece.
* Add any relevant images to the article.
* Make sure there are no errors, broken links, spelling mistakes, etc. in your own comments. Leave quoted material just as it was written.
Every visitor to the site wants as much up-to-date news as possible, therefore news hounds have to be active. Broadband is recommended for all the surfing and idling a news hound ends up doing, but it isn't a mandatory condition for applying. In fact, one of the best Files Network news hounds is a dial up user, so 56k'ers are welcome. You must possess solid English skills when it comes to grammar and spelling, no one wants to stumble through an article full of misspelled words and indecipherable sentences. Your e-mail application will demonstrate your competence in that area.
File Poster
As a file poster you must find files that are up to date and that we do not have yet and must post them with proper grammar and spelling and try to be as descriptive as possible e.g. comment on the features of the file "the hidden teleporters in this map are nice touch" and also comment on the textures, design and other features of the file.
Duties
* Locate files through websites, discs, e-mail and other assorted sources.
* When a file is found add it to the appropriate website and with your own opinion on the file.
* Add any appropriate screenshots to the file, if they are not there the file poster must take them themselves.
Be sure that the files are relatively up to date, no one wants to see a file on this site that has been around for ages!
Before you apply for any of these jobs you must have an acceptable standard of English and you must be active! any people who apply and dissapear without reason will be removed from the staff list.
If you feel that you meet all of these requirements please send us an application through our very own Application Form.
We look forward to your applications! wink
With Kindest Regards
The Quake Wars Files Team.

GreasedScotsman's ETQW Video Tutorial Series
Video 1: The Basics
The first video lasts 30 minutes and is intended for those that are new to ETQW. It covers "The Basics," including:
- Spawning, moving and shooting,
- Using the HUD, minimap, and Context menus to share Intel with and create missions for your team,
- Understanding bullet spread and aiming and how posture and motion make an impact on accuracy,
- Driving vehicles (ground and air) and making use of their different weaponry.
Edit: Updated the video with a few typo fixes and added a mention of one of the best ETQW resources on the net, ETQW4Newbies.

Video 2: Covering Classes - First Half
This video goes into further detail than "The Basics" and focuses on the classes in Quake Wars and includes voice-overs/narration. The first half covers feedback from the ETQW community gathered after the release of "The Basics" video and then provides details on the tools and abilities of the GDF Soldier, GDF Medic, Strogg Aggressor and Strogg Technician. The Feedback Roundup section covers advanced movement, like Circle Jumps, Ramp Jumps, Icarus Skiing and vehicle "lurching."

Video 4: XP Rewards, Ranks, Persistent Stats, Respawn Scripts and the Replay System
This video covers the XP Reward system, Ranks and Persistent Stats, explains how Ranks and XP rewards differ, offers a Respawn Script that can help players quickly switch to any class with just the press of two keys. The video then dives head-first into the ETQW Replay system, teaching players how they can not only record footage of their games and play it back, but leave the original point of view of the recording and fly around the demo as if they were their own spectator, pause the action, change the freecam movement speed, as well as the speed of the playback itself, allowing for slow motion and fast-forwarding all done "on the fly" as the replay is in progress. As a final treat, the tutorial shows how, with a little work and help from third-party programs like FRAPS and Sony Vegas, you can turn ordinary 1st person footage into an action-packed frag movie.

=======================================
What's Coming Next?
I realize I still haven't gotten to the map strategy guides/walkthroughs. Frankly, I blame Splash Damage for making such a beautiful, fun and complex game! Each time I sit down and plan things out, the timing works great on paper, but then I seem to end up uncovering so much stuff that I didn't know beforehand that I feel just has to make it into the video, and before I know it, I'm staring at enough information to require me to split the topic at hand into two videos. But trust me, map walkthroughs are on the way... in fact, I'm nearly done with them as the XP Rewards, Stats and Replays video is actually a reorganization of a larger video that originally included walkthroughs of six of the maps.
I am still looking for demos from other players, especially full-length game footage. I realize that I'm hardly the best player out there, and I want to provide the best examples of tactics and strategies as I near the "Advanced Tactics" video. Still send me demos/replays that show off special elements of the game: trickjumps, tactical demonstrations, or other noteworthy displays of gameplay.
