The sword and the faith

I've been working on a campaign for awhile now, and my trigger man, KK, had to bail due to lack of time / commitment to project. I've tried the shoutbox for a replacement but that's really not the best way to get things done.

The campaign is called Invasion of Brontes and follows the story of a colony undergoing Confederate lock down as Mar Sara did in the beginning of SC. However the Colonial Magistrate (Not you this time. :P ) decides he isn't going to sit back and be told what to do with his colony while the Confederates fail to contain the Swarm's advance. He calls upon Captain Jacobs (You) to carry out a series of operations to ready the colony for the incoming invasion. However the Zerg have already landed expeditionary forces on the planet, and they are not going to make things easy.

KK has mentioned to me one of the SC add-on packs released by a third party company was very similar. I've never seen it or played it, nor do I care about it. I've had this idea for a long time and to hell with the damn add-on pack.

Obviously this is a mainly Terran campaign, but I feel that I could add a Zerg series of missions easily, and maybe Protoss if I really want to get creative.

The first mission is sort of a movie intro and is already done, which I've attached here. It isn't long but it's something at least.

Triggers

Positions currently needed:

Triggerer (2 Slots Currently Open)
--Requirements:
Time to dedicate to the project, ability to meet given deadlines, and knowledge of all Starcraft trigger actions and conditions. We probably won't be using any advanced trigger systems. An AIM or MSN is also required.


Voice Actor (Limit not set.)
--Requirements:
Time to dedicate to the project, ability to meet given deadlines. Voice actors should obviously have a microphone of good quality and recording software to match. Voice actors will be given parts to record which will be added to game briefings and in missions. This is optional and the project will go on with or without voice actors. An AIM or MSN is also required.

Testers
--Requirements:
Time to test and play the maps without cheat codes, hacks, or any additional changes. Testers must have a working knowledge of SC's limits and triggers so that they may report bugs to us. Testers will also be on the lookout for spelling mistakes or suggest changes in dialogue.

I'll voice act and/or do triggers and/or test. Unfortunately, my voice is kind of annoying at times, but I can make it sound different/better with some effort. As for triggers, I can do those easily as long as you don't need ZOMGOVER9000TRIGGERZANDMOBILEGRIDZANDEUDZANDCAKE!!!!111111 sort of stuff. I have msn, but I don't remember my username... I know it's tassadarzeratulsomething, so I can find it.

Assuming you don't hate me too much...



None.

All I care about is the work getting done. Get a new MSN or get AIM if you have to, contact me on there and we will discuss what you can do for the project.

Well I'm pretty good with voices at times, so if you'd send some script my way, I'd be interested in what you're thinking, and I could give you some samples maybe. It'd help if you gave me an idea of what kind of persons are speaking of course.

With any luck, I might be able to get my gf to help too, cuz she's good at times as well, but she's a bit mic shy =P. A script might help there too. And we'd likely both be willing as testers. I can spot things pretty well, and she's spotted odd things already in grand drac's 2P campaign.

btw, the "first mission" didn't do anything but get the civ to the door... is that really all that's supposed to happen? Asking since you said it was finished...

I ran into the problem too Striker, but when I redownloaded the map and ran it in single player, it worked. Im not sure why, but I think it was that the first time I dled the map, it auto-opened in StarEdit. Honestly not sure if that was the issue, but that was my experience..

I could help a bit with triggers and maybe voice.

So why would you make it run in singleplayer only? and I also wonder, how? I understand how to make it unable to play in single, but not only =P. I gotta say, not being able to go on bnet with it, and maybe at least have an observer along... kinda takes the fun out of it. Can't even spread it around easy, though I understand voice files may make that hard anyways, but some people wait, and you can host for DL only.

Ah, I suppose it's to link the missions? In terms of professionalism that's nice, but really... doesn't seem like too big of a deal.

I would love to be a tester, and would be dilligent in my criticism. I have very keen attention to detail.

Hey, update the first post and add me as voice actor! PM me if you want my help.

The sword and the faith

Voice acting is secondary and will only be added in if I feel the campaign has enough finish material to warrant it.

As for why it's strictly SP there are a few triggers that function differently (Pause and next scenario come to mind.) and due to how I want them to function SP works better.

Back* from the grave

Hit me up for testing. I would voice-act, seeing as how mine is kinda freakishly low [yet sexy], but no microphone :-(
Seeing as how I already have about 20 million yahoo accounts, I'm not gonna throw myself into AIM. My computer probably couldn't do it anyways...

After what the SoW team had to say about you, I wouldn't let you be the janitor for this campaign.
