Title: OT: Modding other games
Post by: aldo_14 on July 19, 2001, 05:20:00 am
I was wondering if any of the following games can be modded to a similar level to FS2;

-Mechwarrior2:Mercenaries (oldie, but I just reinstalled it with a Direct3d patch)
-Fifa2001 (I know some of it possible but I want to make new stadiums dammit!)

Just thought i'd throw this to the esteemed community.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

You want to mod a soccer game? hew... hell, why not after all...
Mechwarrior2. sob... "memories memories"
I still have it, but I have the version that comes with my old 3dfx (first version). It won't work anymore with my radeon  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Why not trying to mod more recent games?

Because I have an old Pc, and games like IW2 are too complicated for it...

incidentally, FIFA can be pretty easily modded - the community on the website I visit is actually massive - even larger than HLP or VWatch. http://www.fifa2001.com/ ("http://www.fifa2001.com/")

But it's mainly constrained to editing the ingame texture graphics - new strips, boots, etc, and I want to make a new 3d model for a stadium - which has apparently been done before, although I don't know how.

And I just got a Direct3d patch for MW2... it looks much better (although still pretty primitive by modern standards), so I figured why not have a wee try at it for the hell of it.
[edit]
there's a bunch of utilities in the MW2 Cd, but they sound horrible... command line based   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif).

Plus, why the hell can the MP run in 1024x780 and the main game only 600x400.
