Seeking Extra Coders For Large Magic Mod

[dustin heisey]

The mod is called elemental essences, and you can find the current release at: http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/222377-elemental-essences

Documentation for the mod is almost complete and then features will be added, however the mod is larger than thaumcraft and I am not able to code it without help. People with modding experience and dedication are required. Thank you for entertaining this request

*No we don't need texture artists

Just wanted to let people know

 

[dustin heisey]

We would love any help, including texturers and modelers. The main priority however would be coders.

Putting this here.

Read through the "Don't assemble a team" section.

 

[InfinityRaider]

We're not a team for one project are we?

 

[jdog1408]

No, we do have future projects but not nearly as large as this first mod

 

[dustin heisey]

I'd like to point out that I am perfectly capable of modding and do not think that assembling a team is detrimental to this mod. The team is focusing singularly on the mod but like jdog said we have other projects in mind.

I will say that these guys appear to be doing ok on the team front; they already have the beginnings of a project and definitely enough coding knowledge between them, so they're not begging people who know what they're doing for help.

 

[jdog1408]

Thanks Type1Ninja it's just a very large mod and two coders isn't really sufficient(I'm not a coder, I'm a texture artist)

 

[dustin heisey]

Bump. sorry if that's not a thing on these forums lol. We really need developers to help with this project. If anyone is remotely interested please tell us

If we wait too long it's called Necro-Posting

 

[dustin heisey]

What? What is necro posting.

It means trying to resurrect a dead thread, but we are fine, right? We need help people

 

[dustin heisey]

Bump. Still need developers gonna keep this thread up until it gets deleted or gets used lol

 

[jdog1408]

The mod is called GeoMancy and there are two amazing texture artists. I also do textures.

I liked the last paragraph of that section. "Supervising". Cookie Clicker is fun though...

I have minimal experience coding, so if you want me to help, then I can (this is directed at the thread creator). I know how to, but I'm not sure how much of a help I can be. If you need me, I'll be here for you though. I'm also awful at textures, so...

 

[Hlaaftana]

What do you mean by "4 elements"? There are 118 elements, can you tell us which four you are specifically talking about?
I don't get which mod you're talking about. The 2 people who work on the mod "Elemental Essences" don't look or sound like you. I don't get how the texture artist here says "GeoMancy" and the OP says "Elemental Essences"...
Necroposting means posting on a really old thread.
Seriously? Bigger than Thaumcraft? All this mod (Elemental Essences) does is add some furnaces, some tools and some armor...
I'm really confused here.

There's no such thing as a successful minecraft mod where a guy with an idea gets a bunch of coders together to implement it. chbachman nailed it with his citation.

If you have a great idea and can't do it all yourself, finish the core functionality. Release it as alpha/beta/whatever. Let people actually play it. You need to prove that you're legitimate, otherwise NO programmer worth his salt is going to waste his time on your dream, with you as the captain, instead of his own with himself as boss.

For bonus points, do all of the above, release an alpha product that people really enjoy tinkering with, put it on github, and watch the pull requests flow in.
