Hia, I'm Zeroth. I've been working on Hexen: Edge of Chaos as a Programmer, SVN host, and other little things, for 3 years now. I'd be happy do help out in moderate doses If you guys need an extra hand.

Hey :)

Thanks for the offer! We actually do need a programmer. We already have our own SVN *with* the current code base and we do have a very specific task that needs to be done. What have you done on the Hexen mod? :)

without saying anything I'm not supposed to...

I wrote an artifact system (at least 500 lines) like the one in Hexen 1. It's inside the SDK, works on top of Doom3's player inventory, and works closely with the HUD gui to show and organize the artifacts. I also scripted all the abilities and script events for all the artifacts. I also did a whole lot of AI that I'd love to talk about, but I'd get spanked by BR.

we havent had any other coders since the last guy before me left the team, and he didn't leave any code behind. so every line changed in the SDK on Hexen was done by me. I also did some other gui stuff (but none of the photoshopping).

I mostly play inside the def, guis, and scripts folders. I've worked minimally with sound shaders and particles.

I've done a real lot of work on Hexen, and most of it was AI, and Player, weapon, and monster abilities. I know C++ very well, and Doom3 and its SDK are very fun to work with.

That all sounds very good :)
I will PM you with the specific task and we can discuss the details :)

I replied to you. I don't see the message in my outbox after sending it twice, so hopefully you got it. :-)

The forum software doesn't work very well in that area. I did receive them both :)
....and replied ;)
