People have too many visions of what things should be and when too many chiefs are in a project it goes nowhere. I'm not a follower, I'm a leader and thus always project my vision/path into whatever it is I partake in. If who or whomever it is doesn't like my vision I go off and do it alone. I usually have more success that way anyways.

There are many things the Navy taught me and some of them I have just mentioned. Those things have allowed me to live the lifestyle that I have and to be able to do, and see, things people only dream about.

Anyone has the potential for success. It's just their own inner person that is their worst enemy and holds them back :cool: Step out of that 'safety zone' you have around you and you will see what you have been missing!

First of all, I completely understand TDW's point of view and believe that if you going to do something - do it right. Or don't touch it. I'm probably a lot more patient with people and forgive imperfection here and there, but otherwise there is no "I" in a team, imo.. You work hard and you work together.

Second, if you look in this forum, there is a little project that gap, keysersoze, and couple of other people are starting to work on, and that project hasn't really been booming with volounteers, which indicates that community really fine as it is right now and not striving to do anything.

You also have to realize that even though some people might have wanted to do it, they don't have time at this moment.

Thirdly, some tools are still not ready. When (yes, I believe in TDW) GR2 Editor/Viewer will be able to do animations and delete/add meshes (not just subsets), add bones and modify them - than we can talk about serious mega-mod. At this time it takes a lot to clone/adjust/redo units. If you look at the GR2 thread, I'm having trouble with cloning a unit and making animation for it major time at the moment.

And lastly (doesn't mean least important): if you look around the forum, you notice that there is still waaaaaay toooooo many different opinions on how, what, where should be working: starting from environmental effects and all the way to mechanics of explosions...
