I've heard about the mod for well over a year now and it seems like you guys could use some help. Right now I am helping out with a zombie mod and it's starting to slow down so I've got some spare time to help you guys out if you need anything.
I want to clarify that the 2D artist has the HUD listed in it, but I am no designer. If you can draw out a HUD, give me some visuals, and tell me what you want it to do, I can code it. Most mods just edit the existing HUD, but I'm up to making a brand new one if someone can give me a picture of it.
As far as Python goes, I actually have some references if you're interested. I've created game modes before, so if you have any ideas throw them at me.
I'm also a mapper, but I can't maintain an attention span for it. I avoid the editor whenever possible and do most of my work through notepad. In doing so I've learned a few tricks, like getting different sky modes based on the map's size instead of cloning the map and unnecessarily increasing the mod's size. I've got plenty of knowledge on reducing the files in a mod as well from my experience with notepad.
I've got a lot of useless junk lying around. Tbag detector, commander hack preventor, aimbot detector, kill camera, BC2 HUD, rush gamemode, fuel system for vehicles, etc. Most are unfinished due to lack of interest, but I've got a spectrum of knowledge being wasted. So if you've got an idea for something you thought was impossible, I can give you the real intel on that. I know how how this was made, for example.
Not sure if you guys are looking for someone with my talents, but if you ever need something HUD, Python, or file structure related I'm available.
