Mod idea: Lavalit Collab

[Fightn Words]

Collab = collaboration or cooperation, like people teaming up to make something- a collaboration.

Ah, thanks, it sounds interesting.

But who gets a story line or plan anyway?

[Fightn Words]

If someones got something interesting (like maybe Danno), some kind of story/plot would be a good idea. Right now nobody has committed to anything yet, were just discusing the possibility of a collaboration. Any ideas are welcome since who knows if any of it will get made.

Well, I gave you guys my idea, I'm more than open to any of yours. But another thing I thought was to take my original idea and instead of making a mod with an abstract story/plot and mixed sprites, we agree on the plot/theme and work from there. Everyone make a character for it and is responsible for making a certain level (one person does first, another does second, another does final etc), that way in the end it'll all match up. But again, thats just me. I'd like to hear your ideas too! 

[Fightn Words]

Well that's not bad Nick- allow me to add something. Some modders could do whatever they feel comfortable with- like maybe only graphics, enemies or certain levels, whatever- and then we could take the beta build and just circulate it among the group until all the kinks are out. After all, we are talking about more then one person's POV. Thats mine.

Might I suggest you get together a list? Maybe on the first page? Start with interested people, get a solid "Yes" or "no". Knowing who is going to be part of it would be the best start I think.

For the record, I am not the least bit interested in a coop, so I'd be a no. But good luck all the same!

Honestly, I'm not sure how much I would want to be involved- unless I liked the project. I think any one else who's so-so about it feels the same way I do (I assume). But a list is a good idea- a list of ideas though.

* One big mod
or
* One or several different demos

*Separate duty's specific to function
or
*Separate duty's on case per case basis

*Something different, interesting- this appears to be generally agreed on.

*Hodgepodge, collect different themed levels/characters/bosses per modder
or
*Unified vision, one general direction

[NickyP]

Well, I made a list of those who would do it on the first post. Think I should make one for ideas?

[Fightn Words]

I don't think it would hurt, but if nobody reacts to any ideas- that might be 'it' for the collaboration.

 I will upload everything Ive done, but I'm just alittle unsure as to how to go about an upload, Maybe SumolX could create a new part to the download/upload section and name it OpenBor collab project, or should I just upload the mod so far bit by bit in seperate files? I'll just upload what I've done for Konpaku so far. but how do I upload?

[SX]

Everyone has access to the uploads directory, since this is a collaborative project.  Or I can create a new folder just for this project.  Up to you guys...

[danno]

 ok, I have uploaded my first contribution to this collab, all the work has been uploaded to the demo mods section.

[Fightn Words]

Can't find it! If it didn't upload, use method #2:

Yeah. It might be better to FTP it as I can't actually see any files......

[danno]

 I dont know the first thing about ftp, I went to the old topic link Fightn Words posted, then tried method two but I ended up on just a html page and the confusion begun.
