I have just received an email from the present constructor who cannot complete his room due to computer problems.

To date, six members have pulled out and only two members, including myself, have completed their rooms. The project has been going for four months now, and by calculation of the current statistics, the project would not be completed realistically until 2005.

It is sad that I have to post this, as I was unrealistically hoping to complete the project before 'Next Generation' Tombraider was released. I believe that this could not happen due to previous trends.

I have decided to devote some of my time now to a sequel to Castle Doomsday'.

Thank you everyone especially Mr Van Oort for his enthusiastic participation in this project.

Perhaps one day we can all come together and create a shared custom level project.

Data.

I said we should keep a maximum time to each member, say, 2 or 3 days! As you said, probably the project was going slow due to the holydays and so on...

In any case the good news is that Tina will have more time for the Doomsday sequel - and that is definitely a positive thing

HAPPY RAIDING!

I would like to see a complete prj with ideas from many TR builders!

Members wrote in bold text confirmed their presences in the project. Awaiting more confirmations

I just want to mention, as the new responsible for the project, that we will have a maximum time limit of a week to each builder, so he/she get time to do it -- then the project will grow faster. Keep in mind that we will have to go through the whole list (i.e. the 26 members) at least 2 times. So as faster as you build, as faster the project grows.

I would like to ask Data to put general rules on the project, as she started the project. One thing that I remember very well is that you have to save! Save often! And when you send it back to me, it can NOT ask for a texture or WAD selection. If it does ask, you're out the project.

One thing that was not my idea, but I liked, is to name the rooms as ourselves. I mean, in the current project, there are Data's Room1-3 and Kiopo's Room1-3. The 4 tile block connector between these is called Data's to Kiopo's. This way, we can know who did each rooms.

If you have anymore ideas on the level reply here.

And Data, very good to know you won't give up too. Hope you help me coordinating the project

Right now, I need to know the e-mail of the next member on the list. Data, who said that wouldn't be able to get it ready, so I can remove it from the list?

Thanks.

I believe you are already doing an admiral job Treeble, and I will give you any help that you need.

BRM is next on the list however, I am not sure if he has the time at the moment so it would be prudent email him before sending the .PRJ file.

Perhaps another idea would be to email each one on the list to see if they are still interested.

DJTch7 will receive an e-mail as soon as I get his address. The same e-mail is being sent right now to the other members.

The next member to build the room would be DJTch7, but I didn't get any reply from her if she's still in. Well, let's wait a bit more.

If we have a deadline of one week, we can get the level ready around March 2003.

If we have a deadline of 3 days (few but enough), we get the level ready around August 2002 -- before TR6 be released.

If we get a deadline of 5 days, we get the level ready around December 2002.

The best option is n.2, 3 days for each member. Keep in mind that the project will be three times with each member (1. designing room, 2. textures and lighting and 3. objects and triggering).

I intend to get the level construction on as soon as possible, but if DJTch7 or Sage Of Time don't contact until next Sunday, we will have to re-sort the list, and I guess the next member to build will be Jeffrey (he's the next after Sage).

Is 3 days enough to you?

posted 01-21-2002 05:19 AM               

I also have some comments and suggestions, if I may. Personally, I think three days will be pushing it for some of us. It would also lead to poorly made rooms. A week would be much better and would yield much better construction from each member. In the interest of extending the deadline, could I suggest that we pass a texture file along as well? It shouldn't be too hard for each member to add the textures they want to the end and pass it to the next. We can also be reasonably sure it won't get too big, considering the size of each room. If we could do this, then we could combine steps 1 & 2 and then only have to worry about step 3. This would allow each member up to about 5 to 6 days and we'd have a majority of the project done by the time it comes to add objects. Of course, I realize both Data and Kiopo would need to go back and add textures before the next person gets it, but that's a small price to pay in the interests in getting this project moving along faster.

Anyway, that's my two cents worth

About the pressure, well, we can do it one week to each member, but the texturing is better to do at a seperate moment. I mean, the three steps are good as they are now...

About the textures, I believe we will also use the tut1text. What were you planning, Data?
