Wanna Help? We're now looking for Content Designers.
I really want to help out, what do I need to do?
Well before you jump right into it, there are some things to keep in mind. First of all, right now we'll consider people based on a few factors, one of which is their involvement into the project up to this point. If you just found out about it, and just signed up on the forums, then chances are you might be passed over. This is nothing personal, but we've found people that sign up and apply right away are the most likely to abandon the project. Those that have put time and effort into testing what we've got, or helped collect content are those we are more likely to pick from applicants.
If you are brand new to the project and really want to help out, get on there and test. Test everything. Test far and wide. We really need you folks to tell us what's wrong, what isn't working, what quests aren't done right, etc.
What's Required of a Content Designer?
1. Strong knowledge of the game, and especially quest and class mechanics. You need to have hit at least level 50 in VG on one character.
2. Scripting. It's a lot of scripting. Not all of it is automated. If you've never worked with scripts in your life you might want to rethink being a Designer. If you're willing to learn, we're willing to teach.
3. Commitment. This will take a long time and we are really looking for people who will stick with it for the long haul.
4. We really need people who can dedicate at least 5-10hrs a week to the project.
I can do that, totally! How do I proceed?
Fill out the following and send it to Jakkal and via forum PM.
Do you have any programming/scripting experience at all? (It's okay if you don't, as long as you're willing to learn.)
Do you have any online administration experience at all? (Forums, chats, groups, guild leader/officer, etc)
Are you comfortable working with lua scripting? If you have no experience with scripting, are you comfortable following instructions to edit existing scripts?
What's your experience with MMO gaming?
What's your experience with Vanguard? What classes did you play the most? What levels did you reach with them? Diplo and Crafting experience? Were you PVP or PVE (or both?)
Anything else you'd like to mention here?
We're looking for people that are willing to stick it out long term, it will probably take this team, realistically, a few years to get through most of the content. Of course we realize that RL will probably get in the way from time to time, but we really want to make sure that people understand what a huge undertaking this will be. But any help we can get, we definitely appreciate!
I am hoping to get a small set of people together sometime nearer the end of the month or early February and show you how to work our content design tools.
I await your responses.

Re: Wanna Help? We're now looking for Content Designers.
For those of you wondering what we do exactly, I'd like to show you some of the actual code that we use.
This is a script that is generated for us using the tools (DBE) the developers made for Content Design. In this case, I'm making a very basic hailing script for the NPC in Vault of Heroes name "Marjok".
Now, as a Content Designer, it's our job to set this up for use in the actual game. First things first, Quests cannot have special characters in them, but the DBE generates quest code based on the quest name. So it's our job to find and remove it. It's also not a good idea to have a quest with a single word name, like "Treasure". So any Single-Word-Name quests need to be renamed to have more than one word in it. We typically do a Quest_ format for most quests just so it's easier to understand the code.
Line 15:
Needs to become:
Next, on line 32, it's set up the very basic greeting. If we hailed her like this, she would simply say "Welcome to New Telon." But if you scroll down to the bottom of her script, you see she has actual lines of dialogue.
If she only had one line of dialogue, all we would have to do is change line 32 from:
to
Unfortunately, she has several lines of dialogue, so we do this:
So in line 43: StartConversation will call the "greeting" function, and it will then pick one of those lines randomly when hailed.
Now the other things we have to change in this script are almost all the references to "Treasure?" to "Quest_Treasure".
For Example:
becomes:
Notice the one in Quotes there doesn't have the _. That's a function call and it needs to be different from the Quest name. Which matters down at the bottom where you see:
Which becomes:
Also that's listed twice so we can remove the extra one. In the end, the script will look like this:
And if you can follow that, and perform the actions I performed, you can be a Content Designer.
This is a script that is generated for us using the tools (DBE) the developers made for Content Design. In this case, I'm making a very basic hailing script for the NPC in Vault of Heroes name "Marjok".

Pending my surgery tomorrow I'll finally be fit to contribute to scripting at least 20 hours a week. Put me in coach .

Re: Wanna Help? We're now looking for Content Designers.
I made it home ok. On the mend! Lots of time to work for VGO. ;D
Re: Wanna Help? We're now looking for Content Designers.
I'm a developer and would love to help with this. I've been chatting a bit with Jakkal, and I think I could be an asset. I am a developer, although I know very little of C++ (I know Java very well, but the stretch to C++ gaming is a bit more than it's realized). To get started, I'd really like to learn the LUA stuff and work on content. Playing the game the last few days after a long hiatus has really inspired me to get involved, and I have the bandwidth to do so at the moment.
Any thoughts on the best way to jump in? Perhaps any simple non-implemented quests that I can work on with some guidance for starters, and steps to be able to test it as I code? I am starting from scratch here, unfortunately, but I promise to be an asset once up and running - I'm a quick learner. Even a "Hello World" kind of starter maybe all I need to get things going from my end, as there's lots of good info above about how to code the scripts.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Wanna Help? We're now looking for Content Designers.
I would like to help out as well - I've done extensive scripts and systems automation work (python, ruby, unix shell) as well as development (C and Objective-C).

@nerdvsgeek: There's a form on the main post, can you fill that out and send it to me in PM? If the forums don't let you PM yet (spammer prevention) you can email it to me at jakkal at gmail dot com
