Title: When you want to be useful...
Post by: haloboy100 on July 22, 2007, 11:37:09 am
...you (I do anyways) need motivation. I really wanna make myself useful around here, as the only thing i could be useful for is play testing  :sigh:. Which is why i really want to get my grips up in FRED so i can help some of the other campaigns out or even make my own campaign...I would enter the FRED academy, but I'm just to lazy to dedicate myself to this, even with all this spare time on my hands. So i need some of you expert FREDders to help me out here, what do you guys usually do to motivate yourself to making a mission?

Thanks in advance for help :) somebody suggested i learn how to model, but i'm not creative enough for such a thing and I'm a simply rancid artist.

I find the most inspiration in seeing other missions, how well they are FREDed. But i can't really find a story specific enough to be put into a mission..The fred academy is a good start, assuming my procrastination doesn't get me killed. :doubt:

Given that some people signed up a couple of years ago I can't really complain about procrastination. :)

Or rather I can. But I can't single you out for it.

Well they all asked to be let in. I've never needed to use the king's shilling to get people in.
