 | M-Community Project Helpers Needed | |

Dear Fellow Marathon Community Members: I have been kicking this idea around for over a year now and I think its time to solicit everyone's advice and support. Basically, I want to add the term picts to the terminal text here on the Marathon's Story site. Hamish has already formatted the terms so that the text lines break exactly as they did in game, so we will have to: 1) Extract the picts
Surely this is possible and not even that labor intensive if we have several people working on it. I would have done this by myself, but my ole Mac is malfunctioning. If someone could get me the picts as GIFs and tell me where each of them go then I would be happy to do the HTML formatting. Issues we should consider: Page Integrity - Under NO circumstances would I want to require Hamish to change any of the MILLIONS on internal links he has on the site, so we will have to deal with the pages "as is" with no files renamed or internal anchors changed. GIF Optimization - I presume each pict will come out of the resource fork with the standard Mac CLUT. Whenever possible I want to reduce the CLUT to the essential colors only, but only when it is possible without losing any data. Placement - I will need to know what the starting text goes with which pict. Aren't there some terminals where you see one pict that goes with more than one "page" of text? If so, I'll need to know what the ending text is, too. Naming Conventions - What should we do? Use the original resource Ids or something more user-friendly (game-level-term#)? Pilot Test - I suggest we limit our work to the Arrival section - http://marathon.bungie.org/story/arrival.html - for starters. It looks like there will be about 8 picts to do. I have already asked and secured Hamish's permission to do this (Thanks Guy!), with the condition that only one of us post to his site, which, because of my sterling rep, will be me. Please post suggestions and support in reply to this thread. After we get the plan of attack organized, we can go to work! | |
