@KoF: Would you kindly STFU and go look at your own first thread. See any differences? I know I don't.

@Sonic: You're a n00b who wants other people to make things for him for no apparent reason. Get real. Start small. When you make a name for yourself in the community then you can start thinking of group projects.

heh the only reason i posted that is because i can't do sprites or anything like that. until I learned some of it. the bad thing is though, is that I still can't sprite.

and I also wanted to get better at mapping IS TO SHOW ALL OF YOU HOW FAST I CAN LEARN EDITING FOR ZDOOM!!! DAMMIT! WILL ALL OF YOU QUIT THESE DAMN FLAMEWARS!!! *fires off nuke targeted at Belial*

sounds like a very innovative project.
*notices the "Michigan" in location* OMG! YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!
wow. and I could've sworn I was going to be the ONLY person from Michigan on the Zdoom forums. I was proven wrong.

although proven wrong by somebody who needs to learn english better, and also become a better impression of the state, if I may say so myself.

{if you take this as flaming, you need your sarcasm and friendly joke detectors fixed.}
also, you might want to save the project for later, that seems a bit too innovative at the moment. start out simple, THEN go gradually more complex. that's what i'm doing at the moment. it can help.

Wait a sec. Just calm down, write down COHERENT English words. Try to make your words look like the ones in books. Nobody here (except é, apparently... maybe n00bish is a language understood by certain people but not others?) understands what the hell you are saying. You sound like some 15 year-old wannabe punk/gansta/rapper.

And about your project - not only is this too ambitious for you, you need to actually learn how to do everything before trying to get other people to do it for you.

Also -

[offtopic]hah, this sounds like one of my abandoned projects... I couldnt do it back then. But I could definately do it now..[/offtopic]

But yea, this is a bit much for a couple of n00bs... just learn what you need then start off smaller, and work your way up. if you dont know decorate, dehacked, animdefs, or any of that crap go read the wiki...... other than that nobody is going to help you.

Haha, I totally missed this thread!

Sonic, when I said goto ZDoom forums, I was kidding, but I had to get off before I said 'jk'.

Sorry, I'm to blame for this.

Spoiler:
No not really, I just wanted to play Doom, and you PMing me didn't allow me to.

Though I just moved here last summer. Anyways...

DECORATE (EDIT: Gah, killingblair beat me to it)

DeHackEd

DECALDEF

ANIMDEFS

ACS (in case you're interested)

Read, study, and refer to those and you should be fine (sooner or later).

However, like many have said in this thread and others, START SMALL. Make a quick map of moderate size and detail, with some scripts that are simple, and perhaps one or two basic DECORATE things (it would be best you started on something like a lamp etc before working on monsters/weapons). Keep it and use it for reference, maybe add to it for practice, and if you think it's good enough release it, and people will think higher of your skill.

After all, I decided to start on a megawad for my first release, and it ended up being underdetailed, boring, and very small so I trashed it. I decided to start on a smaller 10 level deal, and while it's taking more work than all 32 of the aforementioned megawad's levels, it is shaping up nicely (IMO).

Also, when someone said "what do you have to show for your project" they meant in-game screenshots, in-editor screenshots, graphics (if you made any), textures (if you made any), etc. You can't gather anyone to help if you don't have anything to show for them. After all, if someone decided to join in as team members for my unreleased megawad "Demented," without even seeing screenshots, they would have done a whole bunch of work to see it put in levels that are tiny, monotonous, boring, underdetailed, and surely unpopular.

So yeah, just start out slow and easy, small, and then work your way up. Then come back to this, and people may decide to jump on the Demon Strike bandwagon.

Sonic:

Nobody can understand what you are saying, and that isn't because you're 13. It's because you're not even writing remotely readable English. I know when I was your age (2 years ago) I didn't have that problem, and I still don't (just typos, lots and lots of typos) You need to prove yourself before you get anything other than RTFW or RTFM. We're not going to see a newb/n00b struggling and go: "OMG! A N00B NEEDS HELP! QUICK! RUSH TO HIS AID!!" we're going to get you to be realistic, point you in the direcion of forum search, the wiki and tutorials and then leave you. If you carry on being persistant, the odds are you'll end up just getting bashed. (Que Bashe for 1337speak retardedness

).

Try doing something small. n00bs with big ambitions get exactly nowhere, regardless of age.
