create mod Thread

I want to create a mod, my question is: HOW?

What game?

A mod with the normal characters. only rockets. kill in 1 time ALWAYS with rocket. for quake 3

Take a look at Rocket Arena before you get carried away ;-)

and you need a team because making a mod is difficult:P

Unless you have near a decade of experience of modding it yourself, like me.

Bastard

What do i need for my team?

A mapper, a modeler , a concept artist, a web designer, a coder, hmmm, dunno, that stuff is vital tho, and its best to have at least two of all..

If you can do everything well and fast you don't need a team, but if you are not able to cover all the jobs you need someone who can help with grapich (modellers, mappers, skinners, ecc...), sounds, website and coding.
You should need a concept artist too

All that just for a rocket launcher only mod? Jeebus.

Meh ... large teams become un-manageable, and usually result in a conflict of interests. A lot of so-called "teams" don't share the work-load, and some even seem mods seem to measure themselves by the ammount of people they have working for them. I've had a few of my own sour experiences with art collaboration so I'm a little biased (not related to gaming). It depends on the scale of your mod, I suppose, but I really see no "need" for more than two/three team members ... if it is to pool skills (artist, coder). Smaller, tighter teams are better, if equal effort is to be put in on all parts. Of course, there are many benefits of flying solo (especially in acquiring skills for yourself).

Back to Servus' question. What's your experience level? So as we don't patronise you, or inversely, go way over your head. What you describe is rather simple (tweaking a few config files, dropping in a few entities and such) but you need to expand upon what you've said. For example, will you be creating new maps, weapon or player models?

Oh, and download Rocket Arena, like I said (that goes for everyone):-P

Then u have good idea's for a mod?

Join a team. Too many people who have never coded, modded, or anything like that try to start by trying to start their own mods and gather teams. And know what? About 99.99% of them fail, honestly, ask anyone.

If you have very little idea about how to go about creating a mod, then you need to develop some well-rounded basic skills before you even consider joining a team. You cannot over specialize when you're setting off though, as everyone needs a common base of knowledge in order to function as a team anyway. Modding should be about the learning process too :-)

Team i can join?

i got a mod team if you want to join, we're hiring. need to see some previous work IF you have ne. if you dont well, uh we'll talk Its a multiplayer for HL2, check my sig
