ROM Hacking Tutoring

[.Tactic.]

Was I accepted? because you didn't tell me :(

 

[Alex31]

Well, considering I spend sooo much of my time looking at hack's, maps and attempting to understand scripting, when a good friend of mine started talking about Rom Hacking, I helped with maps.
Now I'm fairly good at mapping, the thing I cannot do is scripting, I can't understand how they work, how you input them into the game, and so forth.
I understand you're really busy here, so don't feel in any hurry, i'm happy with anyone, and I won't take up much time, i'm a really quick learner.

Timezone: PST
What times you can be tutoring (day, time): preferably in the evening,4Pm on t 7:00 but I can't do it every day
Interests (things you like; used to build a compatible pair, and attempt to make friends): well pokemon zelda, soccer,running cycling and girls XD
Graduation? (If you have graduated from another Tutor, please note that here so I may confirm): no, taught myself
How many students can you handle at once? (one to three; if you can only take on one at a time, that is perfectly fine): and can do a couple but three or four is pushing it

You've been accepted by the majority of the current scripting tutors, as both Simple and Advancing Mapping, okey? xD

To put a map online, I think there's a function in the Tools menu of AdvanceMap that allows you to save your map as an image file, so you can use that to upload to PhotoBucket. :3

Ah just a note, I've changed my form a little. I'm now intrested in learning Spriting (Other). Is that okay?

It's fine. I hadn't updated the posts, anyways.

Was I accepted? because you didn't tell me :(

I'm not going to tell everyone whether they were accepted or not, as that would just clutter up the thread. Actually, I take that back; I will tell you if you were unaccepted. Basically, if I don't mention you, you can assume you were accepted. Of course, that's not to say you'll get a Tutor right away.. :/

ok so I have now been here for a week so...

Maybe I should have put that in the first post, but.. look below.

Also, I've been thinking over what HackMew said. From this point on, all Students must be at PC for at least a month, and Tutors must have been at PC for three months (or show exceptional skill at that subject). This, I think, will reduce high student numbers and random people that may never actually make a hack and therefore waste the Tutor's valuable time. All people before this announcement are alright; I've already accepted them. ;3

I did say this before you put that up, so I apologize, but I cannot accept.

ooOOoo... a great place to learn!

Put me on line for Basic Scripting, Advancing Mapping and Other Aspects, please.

Put me on line for Basic Scripting, Advancing Mapping and Other Aspects, please.

Thank you, good sir. You clearly read the first post.
No but seriously, with a post like that, you're definitely not going to be accepted, so I'd advise you to actually read the front post, and edit your post accordingly.

What you are interested in Tutoring for: Music hacking (actually using a method called the ELF method, which does not involve compiling with .s files or Sappy 2005-2006). I will teach the hex editing involved in the music data. I will also teach voicegroup editing and even adding new WAVs.
Proof of Work (For each subject you would like to Tutor; five examples max, at least three):The following three videos are more or less samples of my musical work (several songs of which are original):
Test Battle 1
Test Battle 2
Test Battle 3
This is a video involving hacking Golden Sun, showing that my knowledge is game independent
This video is a video of one of my previous students from another forum's result using my method of hacking music.
Timezone: EST (7:00)
What times you can be tutoring (day, time): 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, except during weekends. NOTE: DISCONNECTS OFTEN. If I disconnect, I will try as hard as I can to get back online.
Interests (things you like; used to build a compatible pair, and attempt to make friends): I get along with people albeit differences in interests, however, I have interests in music, animals, drawing, RPGs and most other aspects of hacking.
Graduation? (If you have graduated from another Tutor, please note that here so I may confirm):
How many students can you handle at once? (one to three; if you can only take on one at a time, that is perfectly fine): 1

Well, I can't be a judge here, since my speakers on my laptop like totally broke on me. They won't play anything, so now I have to go buy new ones. :x

Anyways, I've had a couple of people look at your videos, and they are "really good" and "epic", so I guess you're definitely in. ;3

Put me on line for Basic Scripting, Advancing Mapping and Other Aspects, please.

Read the first post, please. Also, please limit your categories to two, kthx. :/

updating tutor listings

Done. Also updated the Student/Tutor forms; made them prettier.

Edit: Oh, and because I am a fruitcake, I joined as a tutor for Simple/Advancing Mapping, and Simple Scripting. :D

I have a question although the answer might me obvious.
Do we now sit back and wait for you to find us a tutor or do we do it ourselves? No rush, just frustrated because of a stupid script >:(

I think, this is what me and Alice. have done, the tutors approach you, but that could have been us just rushing things. I'd say that you wait to be approached, or told by Atlus.

That's the thing I'm having the most troubles with right now; how to match them up? Really, just getting a student and Tutor that pair for the same subject is all that I really need to do, but there's a little more to it to that. Look at it from this point of view:

If I rapidly send PMs to all of the Tutors whenever a new Student signs up, it will be.. annoying, mostly. Not only is it boring to type all of that, but to have an alert whenever someone new joins up will sort of get repetitive, and eventually it will be ignored. Not to mention, what if I sent a PM to everyone about one guy, but three or four of the tutors accepted him/her? What do I do then? Should I just pick one randomly?

But, say I take it slow, and send them a PM maybe once a week, of all of the Students in each category that they are tutoring; it's got the same problems, just a little bit less extreme. If one student looks like he'd perform well in the class, and every single tutor picks him, what should I say? Is it just going to be the tutor that responded first that gets 'em? Then it might turn into a sort of competition, where if you want someone, you gotta reply fast. But that also leaves the unwanted people out of the deal; I mean, sorry, but there are various people that will probably sign up, and just look like they're not going to end up anywhere, so no one's going to want to pick them. Then they're going to be on that third post there forever, which is not what I'm aiming for.

What are my other options? Should I introduce a sort of line scheme? Like, say, for example, someone wants to get in for Simple Scripting. Currently, we have 5 tutors on that subject (Alice., Samike360, Surf, Fan King, and myself). Samike360 is unavailable, and Surf is definitely full, and Alice. already has one student currently, so he's lower on the chart. So, that leaves Fan King and myself. Fan King has been a tutor for longer, so he'd (or she? sorry, but I can't remember right now. :x) be on-deck first. Should I just give him an option of the first three in line (remember, the listings of students are all placed in the order they posted; the first ones should be accepted before the later ones), and he takes his pick, and then I'd take mine, and possibly Alice. takes his? I don't know.

But Banjora Marxvile brought up an interesting point; what if the Tutors just approached a student they wanted, without me really setting anything up? Well, okay, that could work. But, again, discrimination here; people are bound to be left out. And, some of the lazier Tutors (like myself :x) could just sit around and not pick a student for a while, if they wanted. Perhaps I should make a rule that says a Tutor must have a Student every so often before getting booted off of the Tutor listings? Again, I'm not sure.

So, as you all can see, this is really just the problem right now: how to hook the Tutors and Students up efficiently? If anyone has any good ideas or input on these suggestions, I'm open.

Well, matching up nationality could work but what if your, like me, one of the only Australians on the board?
