I blame steam!

this is certainly a start for creating something worth playing instead of a art swap of a four year old game, but also you should make lots of spreadsheets. most modders will, upon booting up excel, attempt to change all the formulas to "Babylon 5", and release it as a spreadsheet total conversion, but by harnessing this power you can go far

also its kind of funny that you all attack swiss over such a completely ancillary statement. apparently "mods changing the game to play differently" is a contentious issue with many sides represented in the great debate, at least one of which denying its even possible with vague reductionisms, and india is at a crossroads. i wish the legend of galactic heroes mod guy was here to have all his work boiled down to "you used a bunch of variables originally in the game" but he probably avoids these forums for a reason

I am literally going to delete all my posts on this forum and gas the DoV team so I can get a memorial thread and be hailed as a hero. 

This is the way it is in Starcraft 1 and 2, and Warcraft 3.

If kudos were cash, then those games would be making tons.

wait...

I concur...

I have an idea that could help you Zombie. In your modding for dummies section, we could add a segment entitled, "How to make a mod that is not as boring as shit."

Included will be a section on making your own models instead of using generally crappy ones that were made by someone else, for something else.

Not be specific or anything quite like that... *cough* This one *cough*

That's an excellent idea, though it's not my dummies section so I'll have to check with Sinperium. I guess my add a race template is pretty boring though and just propagates the masses doing mesh overs of the existing races. Now that I think about it this section is already covered in the dummies section. Phew, was almost worried I was going to have to put more work in.

I guess that would mean something if I new what it was meant for. All I know is the original modeller gave permission to use the models he created however and they came un-skinned as well.

It really is a mashup race of different shit so can't argue there, but I like how it ended up in the end. Sorta reflects how I think how a group of various corporations would have distinctive looks if they came together. Considering it was an idea I put together on a whim I'm not at all displeased how it turned out.

Frankly I'm not out to wow anybody with my mod, so your not really going to upset me if you make fun of my stuff. There's shit I look at and scratch my head over. Difference is it is my mod, and I've chosen to release it let others play if they want. If they enjoy, great! if not, that's fine too. I simply like the creation process of modding and have built quite a bit of stuff with this game that have benefited quite a few mods outside of my own. in the last two and half years since I started modding I've learned to make my own models, uv-map various ways, texture, learn the syntax of sins, create tools others can use, help other mods get passed issues they were having, take over a mod that was dying but people still had interest in. So really you can just stuff it if you don't like people standing up when someone makes an asinine comment about this community and we should all look the other way because of some misguided idea about who they are.

and now the zombie is going to look for some gum which should end up more entertaining than this was.

Chocolate flavored pudding gum!

Nah, just menopause.

I think the thread was about people who appreciated the help MyFist0 gave to starting modders who wondered where he went and wanted to express their appreciation and dismay over his leaving.

I can accept Swiss's opinion of how he left but the "My mod is a real mod and all of yours are unskilled suckage" was not called for.

People mod for a lot of different reasons--some for fun, some to figure things out, some to try to get people to play their version with them...the list goes on.

You want a professional, slick, high content mod at DoV and everyone's impressed--but not everyone is modding towards the same goal you are.  How about letting  them have fun too?

All other criticisms aside, MyFist0 offered help, put work into providing it and never publicly dissed anyone else's work in the process.

I'd put him "ahead by one" right now.

Though I have to admit, my own juvenile side got a real grin at Thoumsin's mention of the "missing feature".  Hehe--sorry.  I'll be mature tomorrow.  But it was clever.
