Board Thread:Modded Servers/@comment-26172435-20170104082903

The management of the Second Age server is looking for a modder to help out for some customisation regarding the functional interactions between server, LOTR mod and ForgeEssentials and a number of specific features the server wants to have implemented, mainly aimed at improving the game's roleplay experience. Currently, Timgodreuil, owner of The Awakening, is helping out tremendously with a dedicated server-side mod, but he doesn't have enough time for all of the desired work. We also have VulcanForge assisting with valuable advice on modding but his availability is also quite restricted.

So, we are looking for a generally skilled java-minecraft modder with affinity for the LOTR mod and roleplay who will focus on the server side modding for the SA server. Experience with ForgeEssentials is desired but not a struct requirement.

As a special point of attention, we are also investigating possibilities to implement a character development / gear enhancement ('enchanting') system that would fit the LOTR mod. General preference is that this does not implement the general 'OP-ness' of vanilla enchanting. As a first step we wish to implement a simple experience based system that enables general character trait improvement: Vigour. When that is implemented, more advanced additions can be considered. As an alternative, we wish to evaluate options to implement enchantment table crafting with ME ingredients, but with significantly reduced enchantment options and effects (think -50-80% of maxed effects).

So, we are also looking for someone who would like to take on the challenge of creating a dedicated (preferrably only server side) mod, that implements the aforementioned feature(s).

Ideally, both roles are fulfilled by one and the same enthusiastic and experienced modder, who will find other enthusiastic and experienced people working alongside and supporting him/her.

This is just an open announcement to see whether there are people interested in either or both mentioned projects. If you're interested, post a message below, on the server's message wall here, on the server's FB page, and/or contact FB accounts Sam Fish or Alte Ogre.
