Skill Exchange

[RogerRed]

I was wondering if there was any forum or thread dedicated to modders where they can barter their services instead of just making a mod request. Although we here at nexus are a helpful folk most of us are busy with our own projects and what little modding time we have is dedicated towards that and do modding work for others when we can. But sometimes when working on a mod of your own design we get stuck and spend more time and effort on one small portion of that mod than you did with the majority of it, a portion that would be childs play for someone else, although that person might not have your prowess in your area of expertise. Swapping tasks would most likely accelerate release dates as time taken to "figure things out" would be brought down to a minimum. And although people already help each other out here, knowing that someone is working on your project is a great motivator for folks with limited spare time.

 

Some people might say it is best to follow tutorials and through trial and error work your way up to the point where you are skilled enough to do it yourself, but as I have often said, "trail and error" sucks!. In small quantities it stokes our curiosities and promotes innovation, but in large quantities it stokes our anger and promotes madness, so much so that we spend upwards of 20 years in institutions of learning just to avoid trail and error.

 

But back to the original topic the bartering of skills. I for instance in Elder Scrolls terms would class myself as being a

 

Texturing - Apprentice

 

Animation - Apprentice

 

Modelling - Journeyman

 

What talent I have in these ares have served me well but what I have no skill what so ever in is scripting, the life blood of the game. As such I would like to commission a script writer to scribble some scripts so as to advance my mods closer to completion and in exchange I shall to the best of my ability try to do the same for you in my given fields .

If there are any takers message me.

And if I can't help you feel free to post maybe someone else can.
