hello, and welcome to this unofficial guide to how not to mod! first off, were going to do some checklisting. if your mod does (or is) most of the below, you should never release it! okay, here goes; - does it spray bullets like hell? - does it cause massive lag? - does it shoot uber-powered bullets? - does it rape terrain? - is the sprite bland and underdone? - is it just a resprite? - are there very few changed variables? - is it something you desperatley put together so yuo could join a corp? if your mod has more than 3 of these features, then its a phailiure! try again! now, try to think what class your mod might fall into, i.e what is it exactly? if its; - an invincible actor - an uber gun - an overpowered digger - a bullet sprayer - a badly resprited actor then keep it to yourself, or else youll be roasting alive in the mod section. you want an idea of good mods? ones that people have loved for many weeks? http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=8752 http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=9136 http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=8990 http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=8673 three examples of some fine mods. try to make something on par with these, and people will love you. this has been an unofficial guide from CommanderCool, your passive-aggressive pal! sticky, please! |

No...i have done stuff like this before in huge detail for other games, and this looks too plain and wont help in the slightest. Not to be mean, just saying. |

So you are stoling commander's idea? And you never modded anything? |

If you wanted to get flamed, go ahead. Commander is just more talented and more experienced than you... |

Mushroom head wrote: If you wanted to get flamed, go ahead. Commander is just more talented and more experienced than you... Might I just point out that someone's post count / time on the forum does not necessarily indicate their level of either talent or experience? Gikon, you could always just suggest additions if you have them rather than announcing a rewrite. It's only going to irritate the OP, and it seems more than a little ironic having a flame war in a thread about how not to get flamed. |

I don't think this will be stickied, because I already did something like this and it eventually died. |
