Title: Do you mod other games?
Post by: TopAce on May 26, 2004, 10:19:09 am: It is a simple thread:
Do you make mods for other games? You can also list games you make maps/missions/level etc. to.
My list:
FreeSpace: Renegade Ressurgence, Star Wars Conversion, ITHOV. My best skill is FREDing.
Jedi Outcast/Academy: I had several maps for Jedi Knight 2, and a very few for Academy. Making maps for JKA is rather a 'hobby' by now, I do not test them in game, I only build the world itself in the editor.
StarCraft: I liked making starcraft maps. I published numerous Skirmish maps and some non-campaign missions.
Red Alert 2: A few maps and an edited rules.ini*-based mod. (Economical Prosperity - Link in signature)
Quake 3: I made several(around 25) maps for myself. Architecture and lighting are not always good, so I daren't publish them. I rather put stress on gameplay than architecture(so no coloumns in every 2 meters to have something you can stick into).

Post by: Black Wolf on May 26, 2004, 10:41:08 am: I'm capable of Modding Starcraft to a point, put some FS ships in there awhile back, but the SC community is one of players, not modders, so there really wasn't much support. Other than that, I've messed with the Caeser 3 editor because it's so ridiculously simple, and way back when I made a crapload of little games for ZZT, which I doubt anyone else will have heard of but is still, in my mind, one of the greatest games ever created, especially when it comes to modability :D

Post by: aldo_14 on May 26, 2004, 12:06:15 pm: I made a Call of Duty mp map once. But CODRadient is so hideously painful to use compared to max, I decided to turn my back on it.

Post by: Martinus on May 26, 2004, 12:11:54 pm: [color=66ff00]I've made quite a variety of mods, ironically it's only the ones that I work on myself (which generally take a while) that have been successful. To date I've modded:

Xwing vs. Tie (models, missions)
Homeworld (models and single player maps)
Half life (maps)
Freespace (models, sounds, other small bits and bobs)

Never could get the hang of FRED though, I guess the Xwing mission designer was too ingrained into me. ;)

Post by: Nico on May 26, 2004, 12:29:55 pm: I used to mod red alert, I put a couple batiments and units in warcraft 2 ( that was a prowess, back then :p ), then there was FS2, and now, nothing, basically.

Post by: Unknown Target on May 26, 2004, 01:45:29 pm: I only mod FS, 'cause UT is just way too hard :D
Altho I did some Tiberian Sun and Homeworld editing back in the day, but I don't count that :)

Post by: Hollewanderer on May 26, 2004, 02:38:28 pm: I mod Freespace [tables and would-be-ships... if only TS would be a little more stable and with a little better interface...:sigh:] and SC [UMS maps, all unreleased for now, but at least complete. They are, unfortunately, quite poor. They form a campaign following the story of Dreadnaught, massive Terran warship trying to survive against all odds in an alternate universe, with weird Protoss stuff thrown in].

I am uncapable of mapping, and I am still trying to put stuff together in FRED. Figuring out complex SEXPs now.

Post by: Anaz on May 26, 2004, 04:17:25 pm: I've tried to mod other games...but they were usually too much work to put models in, or I had no ideas of what to mod. FS seems to be the only thing I keep coming back to, but that's kind of dwindling.

Fortunately SS2's textures are mostly very simple.

Post by: Lightspeed on May 26, 2004, 09:42:29 pm: I mod a lot of games but I never get really far (because the engine is too limited for what I have in mind - hehe).

That's why I enjoy modding the FS2 engine so much. It just keeps growing with me. ;)

As for other things i'm modding right now...

There'd be HiredGuns (very old classic - yet still much fun to play), and there's something planned for Freelancer.

And I do StarCraft maps, if that counts :)

Post by: Liberator on May 26, 2004, 11:01:52 pm: I've messed around with modding FS2 a bit, remember my Blue Shivans from a few months back? I don't think anybody downloaded them.

I goof off with Homeworld 1 some times, HW2 modding is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone, so I've been told.

Post by: Turambar on May 26, 2004, 11:15:32 pm: I mod JKA sometimes too. I like making maps, releasing them... well, less fun. I'll release soething good someday for that game.

here i do SCP, Inferno, and apparently Star Wars Conversion. I guess ill have to do their thrusters now that theyve put a little icon under my name.

Post by: CP5670 on May 27, 2004, 01:50:13 am: I did a lot of stuff with Descent 2 and C&C Red Alert many years ago and a few things with Unreal and Deus Ex more recently. At the moment I'm doing FS2 more or less exclusively, although I want to also get into UT2004 map design this summer.

Post by: TopAce on May 27, 2004, 03:14:02 pm: Just realized:
I also modded StarCraft a bit(if we disregard map editing). I used a weird, but good program named as 'StarDraft'. I edited the default unit properties, made the Ghost a real sniper and I did some other simple modifications, too.

Post by: Setekh on May 28, 2004, 08:36:43 am: I mod everything. Can't help it. ;) Mostly for personal use, I've only ever released stuff for community use with FS2.

Post by: HotSnoJ on May 28, 2004, 10:34:31 am: I've only modded FreeSpace (1 & 2). Mostly because it's the only game I own that is simple and has a great fan (and knowledge) base. ;) As well as because when I look into modding other games they look extreamly hard to do anything for. FS, IMHO, was and is one of the few games that had modders in mind when it was made.
