Hello,
I have a guide to the online game world of warcraft. I would like to make an in Game mod that one will be able to load a certain set of steps in it. So, the in game mod will not be pre-loaded with my guide steps. Instead, it should be something like a “Guide Loader” in-game mod and when a user loads (or replace a file, or copy/paste) sections from a text file (that will have the steps of my guide or any other guide (written in a special format), the guide steps will show in the in-game mod. If not steps are loaded, then the mod will just show an empty graphical interface inside the game.
I am looking for someone who has knowledge in XML and LUA to make a functional interface for the guide. I will be the one who will make the guide text file (in the form of steps) that can be loaded into that “Guide Loader” Mod (but you have to tell me the format i need to write the steps in so that the guide loader will be able to take them.
I prefer if you have knowledge of the game itself. The game makers provide an Art package that has frames, borders, images from the spirit of the game, that you use to make the interface but i prefer if you can make your own graphics (if this is technically possible). You can download it from here:
http://www.wowwiki.com/User_interface_customization_guide
The link above also has info on how to proceed to do it.
I have seen others making almost the same thing i am looking for but they do make their mod preloaded with their guide steps (which i do NOT want). I can provide you with an exact copy of their product that i am looking for something similar to it (may be not the same exact graphics, but the same exact function is needed). They use ACE as a library for scripting, and the kit downloaded from the link above for graphics.
The interface should have the features below:
1. A place for my logo (i will provide the logo picture)
2. A place for a title
3. A place for a small title graphic
4. A place to close the window
5. A function in LUA script file to put the interface on (like a command in the game window)
6. A place to minimize the interface window and replace it with a smaller version of the interface.
When the guide steps are loaded:
7. A selection area where one can select the section of the guide to be loaded
8. A big area where the section selected above will be loaded.
9. A function to detect the level of the player and load the corresponding part of the section of the guide
10. A function to detect if a step is completed by the player or not
11. A place for “Options”.. when clicked, the player has the ability to setup the interface (like opacity, size…)
13. A place that clearly states that this in-game mod guide loader is a Free mod.
I will plug in the guide sections myself in the form of steps but you need to tell me where to paste them in the files you make for me or how to do it instead of copy/paste (like replace this file in the guide loader mod with the file that has my guide steps).
In your bid, please let me know what things you can do, total price for the whole project and total time. I will also be happy to email you the interface mod i am looking to do something similar to it.
Thanks
