1 Musique

1.1 Projet de musique pour Ryzom

Gaueko : "Il y a quelques semaines, j'ai discuté avec Gorias au sujet de mon travail dans la Lore Team en rapport aux maraudeurs. Et nous avons noté que nous partagions une même idée.
Nous pensons tous les deux qu'il y a un manque de musique sur Atys. La musique que chaque race joue lors de ses festivités, pour s'amuser ou se relaxer. La musique est la chose la plus importante dans toute culture, et celles de Ryzom doivent avoir la leur aussi !!
Donc après quelques jours de discussions, nous avons décidé de démarrer un projet au sein de l'Équipe Lore pour écrire une "Lore musicale". Ça sera long. Nous nous sommes concentrés sur la théorie des sons pour l'instant. Comment les sons se propagent-ils sur Atys. Comment l'environnement afffecte le son. Comment les homins cmprennent-ils le son et à quel moment ont-ils commencé à créer du son avec des instruments basiques, et comment ces instruments ont évolué. 
En résumé, pour le moment c'est juste un travail de l'Équipe Lore. Mais bien sûr, Gorias et moi partageons le même rêve. Un jour, cette Lore deviendra une réalité du jeu. Peut-être des homins jouant des instruments ? Peut-être un nouveau PNJ avec des nouvelles missions liées au son ?
Je parlais avec Tamarea d'une Équipe Musique, et bien sûr un Groupe Musique dans RF serait super, ainsi nous pourrions commencer à partager nos idées pour faire avancer notre rêve. Nous pensons qu'une équipe musique et un groupe musique sur RF seraient très bien et nous pouvons commencer a avoir des idées et à les partager.
je suis moi meme un musicien, et je suis impatient d'écrire des chants. Mais comme je l'ai dit, c'est pour l'instant juste un travail de Lore. Je ne veux décevoir personne, mais je veux m'assurer que la Lore créée soit bonne pour être sûr de savoir quels genres d'instruments utiliser, et quel type de musique les Zoraïs peuvent aimer."

Q: Il existe des instruments de musique dessinés dans les concept arts !
R : Oui, c'est vrai. Mais nous revérifions tout cela. Ces instruments ne sont qu'une idée. Il n'y a rien sur la Lore à leur propos.

Q :  Je joue avec le son coupé sinon mon client plante quand j'entre ou je sors d'une ville ou de mon hall de guilde, est-ce qu'on pourrait corriger ça ? 
R : C'est vrai, on regardera l'implémentation quand on aura fini la Lore.

Q : Mais c'est avant tout la définition des partitions de chaque nation, ou autre chose ?
R :  Non, ça c'est la dernière partie. Nous travaillons d'abord la physique de la musique, comment le son se déplace, comment il affecte les races et leur culture. Ensuite, quand nous aurons termminé la "Théorie du Son", nous commencerons le travail au niveau de chaque race. Les instruments par exemple, et ensuite pourquoi pas écrire des partitions pour chaque race et faction.
Je comprends qu'attendre que la Lore soit terminée est frustrant alors que nous avons déjà de bonnes idées, j'en ai beaucoup par exemple, mais nous devons procéder par étapes pour éviter les problèmes futurs. J'espère que ceux qui partagent notre rêve sont contents de savoir que ce projet a déjà débuté. J'espère aussi que nous pourrons travailler ensemble plus tard pour faire de très beaux ajouts. Je vous demande juste d'être patients.

Q :  Il y a des idées sur le forum pour permettre au joueurs de jouer des instruments en jeu.
R :  La lore musicale n'existe pas, Gorias et moi-même travaillons dessus. Nous avons commencé il y a quelques semaines et nous pensons que c'est mieux de terminer cette Lore avant de commencer à travailler sur l'implémentation de musique en jeu.
S'il n'y pas d'autres questions, je n'ai rien à ajouter. Bien sûr si vous avez des questions plus tard, n'hésitez pas à m'écrire gaueko@ryzom.com ou à me joindre sur IRC.

3 - Level design group

3.1 A new Level Designer in the team

Welcome to Lycimima, new level designer under NDA ! He will also help with Infographics and make so some projects don't stay on paper.

Q: did you play Ryzom a lot?
A: Yes i know quite well the game.


3.2 Creation of a Ryzom Forge Level Design group in Asana

The group is created since two weeks on this tool for managing teams, and two LD members of RF joined it. We are waiting for the other ones!
Contact Tamarea at tamarea@ryzom.com to give her your email, you will receive an invitation to join the group.

Q: Only 15 members can join? 
A: In the free version, yes. If we have one day more than 15 RF members (without counting those under NDA), we will have to be clever by sharing tasks between different groups.

Q: Can pictures and graphics be posted on Asana?
R: Yes. We can creat tasks, second level tasks, following a task, assign it, put a deadline, join a file, a tag, etc.


3.3 Mission workflow

It is readable here : http://forge.ryzom.com/wiki/Mission_Workflow.
It is in French for the moment but translation team is working on it, So it will be available also in other languages.
The diagram is already translated:
DE : https://lut.im/mmpu2xrf/O32oqYsb
EN :  https://lut.im/xsGERH45/UI7Ab25k
FR : https://lut.im/TpwZXOzi/gpi2cnJw

Q: Does a mission has to be created in a certain language at the beginning, so before translation team works on it?
A: No because we are much more productive in our native language. DE, EN, ES, FR, no matter. Internally we work also like that and it's going very well.


3.4 Study and validation of the missions ideas

The pad to write down your ideas is here : https://semestriel.framapad.org/p/Missions_LD_2015_DitG10mp64AhiS .
It is less convenient than Asana but usefull while waiting for all volunteers to get access.
Its content is copied within Asana, and each week Lore and LD teams gather to study and validate (or not!) proposed ideas. A feedback is then done to creators.
Once creators on Asana, all the implied teams can follow the work in progress, advice, validate, help by creating missing item, etc...
Members of RF already in Asana group have already started to add directly their new ideas and detailed their valid ideas.

4- Infographics group

4.1 Creation of a Ryzom Forge Infographics group in Asana

The Infographics group needs to be better structured, so  RF Infographics group will be created in Asana. 
Asana groups are free (as with no charge) untill 15 people in a group, but it will be enough for our actual needs. Nevertheless this group will be reserved to the Infographics team, because of this restriction.
To ask for an access, send an email to tamarea@ryzom.com, who will invite you.  You can also provide your email on IRC or by IG mail.

The advange is that the Ryzom teams under NDA already use it, and it is possible to share a task between groups. So it's possible to follow a task with more than 15 people.
It will be able to better coordonate Infographics, Level Design, Dev, Event...  groups.
Asana sends emails notifications in case of adding or modifying a task (except if you prefer to desactivate the feature).
It is not necessary to create an account before, an invitation is possible with an Asana account or with an email.

Q: Is it 15 members per group? Or is it 15 members for all the groups combined?
A: 15 for each group.

Q: Can I join Asana despite my "linguistic disadvantages"? (I speak only German)
A: Yes of course! Internally I work with DE volunteers that speak only DE and I don't! We also have some FR that do not speak EN. Everybody succeed in working together, sometimes with google translation, often with the help of the others for translations. Each one is important and has got many interesting ideas, the language is not a problem. We are a multilanguage team.

4.2 Creation of the cities banners

http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=forum/view/3896
Bannières matis : http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22954/
Bannières fyros : http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22953/
Bannières zoraïs : http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22350/
Bannières trykers : http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22952/
Remigra and Osquallo have worked a lot last two weeks, , congrats !
 event team will organise local and nationnal assemblies to choose a validate created banners
 
Q: Is there a description of possible usage of those banners?
A: Each town will have its banner floating in the wind, but you are free to propose other usages.

Q: About city banners, just to situate, where does come the initial will to create them please?
A: It comes from the will of Event Team to improve roleplay of cities by providing them their own identity. Having their own banner will help for it.

Q: i have ideas for a banner in Davae too, but cannot make it since i do not know which program to use, I might just hand paint it? I have a Mac.
A Lycimima: Yes you can draw it on paper and scan your idea and I will see what can I do with it.
I don't have a Mac so no idea wich program you can use. 
I think we should post the texture modele so everyone will have the right size for the texture.

Q: The textures and sizes of existing banners are readily available to us. Only if there are new objects, we need to know these variables.
A: Not everyone know where to look on the datas or maybe i have miss it on the forum?

Lycimima : For the usage, we can also replace banners of zorai and tryker cities by the new ones, in addition to the one on support. And more, seeing that use same materials for all countries because we cannot do better, I propose to redo version fitted to each country in addition to the banner itself. In a way to be completly free on the aspect too.

Q:  I didnt' understand, you talk about supports?
A: Yes, about the wooden part that hold the banner, instead of just making a texture using a generic existing model.

Q : How to mabe a new object spawn on Yubo server?
R: If someone would need to see how his banner looks in game and does not know how to do, he can send an email to lycimima@ryzom.com with the infos attached, he'll do screens on Yubo.
Lycimima will write a little tutorial explaining how to test banners (and other projects later) on Yubo, how to make appear an object, give it the shape of another, etc.

Q : Is there an ark group on Asana? Or a Dev one? I think that it could be useful.
R : Each team under NDA has got its own group on Asana. But there is no RF ark neither dev group there for the moment.


4.3 Creation a female tryker leader armour

Ideas have been proposed here :  http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/23274/
For the 3D model, beeing more complicated than a static item,weI'll have to make some tests if we'd like to change it (but light changes should be possible).

Q: We'd need to have an image of the current male armour to take inspiration of it.
R: Yes, posting images of male amor is a good idea.

Lycimima: As I try to rebirth projects that lacks of graphists or still blocked at modelisation step, I bent on Jen Laï stele.I did the corresponding .shape, i've just changed some details to write inscription and make textures in version winter/summer:
http://tinyurl.com/o6vxbvq
http://tinyurl.com/qbzoxsm
http://tinyurl.com/ofrm5co
http://tinyurl.com/ohwddp5
http://tinyurl.com/o2n3jqw
(Names where validated in assembly.)
I've got other small objects in progress to accompagny rites/missions, but I keep the surprise!
