Meeting of the Mods

[MehMan]

I'm in for my mod, but there's a problem. My mic doesn't work properly. Can I perhaps just listen?

I don't really know enough about modding to be able to
contribute very much. Will the proceedings of these meetings
be written down and posted anywhere? Is it possible to just
listen in?

Wouldn't IRC work better for this? So the whole thing can be logged?

Just an idea.

a good irc chat without the.. chatter, would be awesome. A place where people could discuss editing and get help, like what #ofpec could have been but isn't.

I hear ya Granq , i went to that irc @ ofpec last month and wow was it a let down ,the main topic of conversation was some guy swearing his head off and typing in broken english,which was akin to a mixture of latin american and leet speak whitman or something he was called.
I hope maybe they do use irc and then publish the minutes so to speak, would make a nice read i am sure.

the IRC idea is ok, but you really create a 'bond' with someone you HEAR, instead of people hiding behind emotionless text.

Trust me, i know. it works!

but making sense out of what people cant even say when more than one is talking...will be harder to log.... vs having someone explain something while a other posts are coming inbetween.

or mabey run polls on what people most want to discuss or figure out.... have diffrent workshops for most voted poll.

for example

Everything you need to know about making a proper reskin from config to renaming files and using a hex editor. What to avoid and how to make fake normal maps etc etc...

or

Triggers 101


and Jerry can organize the best person from each mod who has time and knowledge of the subject which needs to be discussed...
The irc should be for questions during the explanation...and then if needed can be swiched over to TS.

And then on some webpage you have a list of links for every subject.... the kind of file that people will listen to and mabey just understand a bit more from hearing terms or method/process. Atleast imo thats the only use I can see this coming to...
If another mod group wants to explain their process we organize another session if it can happen....and then keep the most basic things covered.

Like Id like to listen to a 45 minute lecture on tips when making an island for arma. From one island maker at a time... rather than 5 people saying the same thing but in a different order, and going offtopic into remember this remember that.

or config 101....

woops .
