Calling all decent mappers!

Oooh yeeaahh!!

Okay, so - I'm putting together this sort of 'Secret' project that I will launch here within the JA over the next 6 months or so. It'll be pretty huge and will basically require the whole JA to take part. :D

So, without beating around the bush, I need a team of reliable mappers to work under me and help me build a selection of Maps for it.

I can't give out much info right now, as I said - the project is secret and I won't be telling anyone (except my staff) anything about it untill it's close to completion.

Basically, here are the necessities required if you wish to become a part of my mapping Staff:

- You must be reliable. I will not tolerate having to chase people up for weeks trying to get their work from them. We will have deadlines that you will be expected to keep to.

- You must be a half decent mapper. This is no babysitting job, either you can do what is asked of you, or do not apply.

- You must be a good team player, you will likely be teamed up with one or two other people on occasion to build a map together.

- You must realise that this will be quite a bit of work, you won't just be building one map, you'll be helping to build quite alot of maps.

- You must be active in the community. The mapping team will likely need to have many meetings over the course of building the project, so you will be expected to be able to do your part.

---

I will be meeting and testing all those who apply, so even if you don't meet with one or two of the above requirements, you may apply anyways and we will see if you can do anything for the team.
Out of all applicants, I will form a small team (about 5 or 6 people) of mappers who will be the Mapping team for the project.

If you want to apply, please E-Mail me at rain_down_af@yahoo.com, paste the following form into the E-Mail and complete it;

---

Name: (Your name here on the JA Site)
Profile: (Link to your Profile here on the site)
Location: (Where do you live? I need to know this because of time zone differences)
E-Mail: (Alot of info will go back and fourth amongst the team via e-mailing, so please provide a valid E-Mail address here that you use often)
Mapping for: (How long have you been mapping for the Q3 Engine?)
Available Times: (What times are you usually most active? Eg. Monday - Thursday, 5pm - 10pm GMT)

---

That's about it. :)

I know some of the requirements may seem quite harsh to keep with, but the reward will most probably be the largest scaled, best and most fun thing the JA has ever done. :D

I hope to see many of you in the Staff room. :)

The Screening process will determine whether you are "disqualified" or not.

If you want to give it a shot, send me an app, we'll worry about the other stuff later.

But hurry up about it, I'm not gonna be taking apps for much longer, I want to get the ball rolling on this thing.

It's been so long since I've mapped for any game... I think the last time was with Worldcraft, making CS maps years ago. Good memories. :D

Well, that first requirement disqualifies me... so does the second, actually...

In fact, each of those requirements can disqualify me purely on its own. :P Best of luck on the project anyway, Virty et al.

I would try, but I am not what most people would call 'reliable', especially with my new-found obsession with HL2... :)
Also, I have loads of important school stuff this year and that makes it even worse:(
Of course, if you need any help from my basic mapping skills, like a small square-shaped room, just ask:) (dont believe me, I'm better than square rooms- I can do hexagons as well!:P)

But what kind of skill level are you looking for? I doubt you will find 6 mappers of your standard Virtue :D!
I would apply if I thought I was good enough, but then I don't know what kinda ability you want.


same problem lol ... :)
Any necessities?

Ah shoot, wish I had more time these days for mapping and beta work. I been mapping for a decade and am just starting to model using 3D Studio. I was hoping a project like this may pop up so I could earn a couple stripes but the timing is off.

Virtue you say this project is likely to go six months?! I may contact you after my real life slows down to see if there is any way I could make a contribution.

Real Life can be such a nuisance!

Peace

I've never mapped a single thing ever nor do I have much time for anything. Sucks to be left out of the fun, but what can one do. :(
