An idea I've been kicking about for UT2004 Thread

A mod based around the mechwarrior/battletech universe. With Unreal's excellent engine allowing you to get in and out of vehicles it always struck me that it would make an excellent basis for this kind of mod. Problem is I have literally zero mod making skills. Am hoping someone will take an interest in this!
The gameplay could reflect UT's assualy mod, where you have to take (and maybe hold) certain objectives in order to win the map.
Spawning as a powered armour infantryman you could get in and out of mechs to accomplish the objectives.
If anyone thinks its a worthy idea let me know

Well, probably one of the worst thing to start off with on zero mod-making skills is a mod based around mechs. They are real tough to make, and even design in the first place. You should first start off making minor modifications to engines, then grow into a TC. That way, you have the experience to know what goes into a mod and how to lead one.

But, if you have any luck finding members that'd be willing to work with a noob.... Cheers.

I'm not saying I'll make it, I'm just suprised no one has attempted to yet considring the large fan base. I'm not a noob, that implies I can actually do something with mods :p
I'm just pitching the idea thats all.

Well, there aren't any for UT2k4, but there are sure mech games for other engines: Moddb.com

It's a good idea though.

mechmod which is for halflife

Wait for Starsiege: 2845.

if it makes it any better i actually thought of it too, and think it would be cool, but like you my mod skills arent good and thinking about it wont make a mod.

There is a mech mod for UT2004, I forgot the name of it, but there is one.

Yup, there is.

Don't forget the Heavy Gear mod for UT2k4, and there's a mech mod for BF1942 if I recall correctly.

why dosent he just start off with mapping or something? I mean its a start :/
