I will spare you the long story and give you the short version instead: I'm a writer who wants to learn the ins and outs of the XML Spawner--emphasis on learn--to use Ultima Online as a story telling tool. I've been around the RunUO community long enough (I helped run a free server in 2005) and around Gamedev.net (I wrote character dialog for the Nintendo DS game "the Black Sigil" after posting a resume there) to know that programmers get frustrated with noobs asking question after question after question about the nuances of code, and they also get frustrated by noobs that want the programmers to do the legwork for them because they are too lazy to learn.
I have been experimenting with XMLSpawner for a few days now, using the tutorials and resources that are available to bumble my way through some quests, but I have been struggling to do anything more complicated than the "Kill Bobo" quest, and there doesn't seem to be very many thorough step-by-step tutorials that cover the ins and outs of the versatile XMLSpawner system. I would like to pay you to create a few very thorough tutorials, detailing step by step how to craft various types of quests of varying complexity (I can give you specifics later) that I would like to create. That way I can learn how to make the system do what I want to do and run with it from there.
If anyone is interested in helping me learn, I'll lay out the specifics of what I am trying to accomplish and you can quote me a price. I am not loaded by any means, but I want to compensate you for your time.
About me so you know I'm not some random fly by night internet loser: I'm a writer, which I have mentioned before. This is my site (which includes my portfolio): http://marshaldcarper.com
This is my first book (available in book stores worldwide in Oct.): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/098256587...&pf_rd_i=507846
This is my second book: http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Brazilian-J.../ref=pd_sim_b_1
I turn my 3rd book in at the end of the month and immediately begin work on my 4th. What I mean to say is that I'm motivated and serious about my projects and won't waste your time. I'm pretty stoked to learn the XMLSpawner from a seasoned veteran.
