Team Avalanche needs your help!
« on: 2009-10-20 05:28:48 »
Hey guys, if you have been around this forum for any length of time you may know me as the project co-ordinator of Team Avalanche's Graphical overhaul. As you may have also noticed that our mod has expanded from its original intent. Going from a font upgrade to a full graphical overhaul is a massive undertaking to say the least. So I am putting out a casting call for all you lovers of the game. We need your help to do this. Us few members cannot possibly do it alone. So if anyone out there is willing to help there are many things to do. If you are a modeller, a texturer or a graphic artist we can use your skills. PM me if you are interested. But be aware there are guidelines that need to be followed.

1. We are attempting to keep as close to the original game as possible, this is a graphical update only.
2. There is a minimum standard that we will hold all work to. If we find that a submission is inadequate then you may be asked to tweak or redo the work. Or we may also make changes ourselves.
3. Anyone who submits work will be considered part of Team Avalanche and will be part of any discussions on graphical styles. But remember it is a democracy, if something is a majority you must accept it. We need no fighting amongst team members. (Head designers do carry veto power though :P)

So if this is something you are interested in joining we would love to have you. Lets put all our skills together to make ff7 the best it can possibly be!

no, they are not redoing the storyline, they are redoing the textures/models, to make the game LOOK better. so, they are not doing anything but that: they are not making enemies harder, they are not changing the dialogue, they are just changing the graphical appearance so that the game does not look as crappy anymore.

with all due respect, the story doesnt need changing. Secondly, this is a recruitment thread, not suggestions. If you do have suggestions for our project, feel free to make a thread for it.

Um, really anything that requires 2d textures or anything 2d, as long as I have a template (I.E. the original texture, or an icon)

I've never textured before, but I'll learn! I'll do my best! *Salutes*

Have a whack at this frog :P (i think mini cloud needs a onceover as well.)


edit (sl1982): This is the original texture for sizing purposes. Image needs to be resized 4x before using.

Although a proff-raeding and a ones-over on the speling and gramer would be a nice addition to theze mods. I sould look int2 this and see wat I can do if your intrested.

i too have thought of that, and it would definately be an interesting addition. Perhaps making a list of changes that run through an approval process, and finall get into SL's installer

If anyone has the script dumped into a format they would find it easy to place back into the game, I wouldn't mind reading the whole thing to check for grammatical errors.

texturing is an art that takes a very long time to get good at. for ff7, make a texture as you would any other, convert the image to .bmp and import into p creator with your model, set the thing to battle model, and give it a texture id, look all this up on the pcreator website. thats more or less it... play around and you'll figure it out.
