Help wanted.. Thread

Would it be possible in this section to differentiate between sound technicians and music composers, by adding it as an option? To my mind they're completely different. Also somewhere to post 'help available' could be cool, so mod makers can just browse through a list of people.

Hi Kiopo,
about a month ago I made a similar proposal, in order to locate the kinda people you'd want to get interested in your mod. I would very much appreciate a more diversified contact towards the differently skilled members of Moddb.
It would be great if you could just add two buttons, green and red, to show a modder's status. If he's red he's unavailable for other projects. This and a list of the modders exact skills (e.g. modeler, mapper, coder, voice artist, sound technician, music composer,...) could be added directly to the profile and shown on the left side of every post one makes. Also it would come handy to know for what mods he worked and what kinda programs the dedicated modder uses. I imagine a dropdown list under the signature or something alike.
Seems like a lot of work to a website that has just been redisigned, but it would surely enhance the speed of modding. A simple sticky like: job market, or: help needed, will probably not do.

I also proposed the option to enter a custom job in the Help Wanted section as well, ie some HL2 modders might need Choreographer, which doesn't really fall under any category.

What's a coreographer do? Is it something with animation?

In HL2 choreographers create the in-game scenes with FacePoser. Stuff like facial animations, lip synching, animations and interactions between characters etc etc. Basically the scripted sequences are done by choreographers.

Ah, okay, cool. Thanks.

I've been asking for ages, everytime this comes up for a category that isn't "player modeller" or "weapon modeller", to no avail. We don't *all* make FPS mods you know.

Again thats where custom help wanted would come in even more handy, it saves having to cover a vast range of more specific tasks

But may also make organisation a bit nasty
