Please don't post Cool, Me too etc replies...

Those of you that I've already had the opportunity to help know my views on sharing

- any tools / advances made WILL BE SHARED with all!

I'm interested in talking to fellow TRLE users who have SERIOUS programming skills.

I think there is a way to acheive this 'grail' but I don't have the time / resources / skills in the required quantities.

I tried to discuss this in a chat room before and, despite having pre-arranged to discuss this very matter, was told it was too heavy a subject for that chat room, and that I was asking too many questions !

I'm not having a go at anyone that was there:

If you are interested please mail me as tswippet@hotmail.com giving an indication of your abilities and experience.

BE FOREWARNED THAT THIS CHAT WILL BE HEAVY AND TECHNICAL !!

Onboard So Far:

Kiopo, Brad, Djbrighty, trlestuff, WBM, Driber, Michiel & me

Awaiting Confirmation:

Alexis & any others ????

well, me and WBM and Brad came up with a part solution, but we've been biding our time hoping a new tool would help our idea...

I don't want to do many more with the LE, but I think my CutSeq viewer and the edited cutscenes are useable.

Edited cutscenes for the TR5 title screen: http://trwad.tripod.com/Download/Editcut.zip
Viewer and convertor for cutseq.pak/cutseq.bin file: http://trwad.tripod.com/Download/CutSeqEdit.zip

OK - here we go!

If you haven't joined yet and feel you have ideas / skills that would be helpful please do - email to tswippet@hotmail.com for an invite to the chat....

= = = = = =

I suggest we need to consider the following:

1] We need to do this in a democratic & grown up fashion....

2] We don't want / can't afford for ego's to get bruised or in the way of progress....

3] We need to co-operate and trust - not compete.

4] We need an agenda - Objective - Structure / Direction

5] We need a Chair person - Any nominations?

Objective - keep us all in line / prevent pie fights [ those can be kept for the end of the meeting after the serious stuff is done ]

6] We need an exchange of ideas to see what has been thought of so far (even the hitherto discounted ideas)

7] We need to know of any developments that have followed on from the initial ideas?

Objective - get everyone up to date / speed and 'singing from same song sheet'

8] We need some simple rulez - like not all speaking at once - else it gets confusing

Objective - Clarity and again no pie fights during business

9] We need to arrange a time when all / most can participate

Objective - Duh!

10] We need someone to keep notes / act as secretary and post minutes to others in group - nominations?

Objective - Keep everyone up to date

any more??

please email any suggestions to tswippet@hotmail.com
