How Do You Make Mods? Do U DownLoad somthing because i want to make a mod for Red Faction Its a mixture of mortal kombat and metroid.... well thats my idea heh heh..

dont start with me...

its alot more complicated than that

for a mortal combat mod, that would prolly involve changing the physics of the engine, which would involve to beable to code

then you would need someone to model your characters etc..

a big team, WITh skill

Mods are basically like "spin-offs" of the game which will involve new content like sound fx, models, textures, levels, and code.

carni do us all a favor, if you don’t have something positive or constructive to say than DON’T POST, and taking your head out of your ass might be a good idea too.

if your bored go spam in my profile about my signature like the rest of your moronic compatriots

Hey Meteroid, if im not mistaken there are a few good guides on mod making on moddb, you just have to search em out, also google might be a good next.

is red faction the game with deformable terrain?

anyways, look at the big modeling mapping, etc tutorials thread in editing and coding, it will point you on your way.

Well look who's talking

But seriously, mixing 2 games as a mod idea is a bad idea. You're taking Mortal Kombat and want to mix it with Metroid. Not only that is uninspiring, but it can also get you a lawsuit. Also, how is the gameplay of that explained?

Doubt that's gonna happen as Red Faction has no SDK, iirc.

negative feedback is still feedback.. i more prefer someone to tell me it sucks than to say it looks good and lead me on..

And since there are all kinds of posts like "READ HERE TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A MOD!" sticked all over the forum, carni's critizism is not all that unwarrented.

'negative feedback is still feedback.. i more prefer someone to tell me it sucks than to say it looks good and lead me on.."
its too bad ALOT of moddb people have this problem of leading people on...

Man I DONT GIVE A SHIT JUST HOW THE HELL U MAKE MODS?!!!
AND METROID AND MORTAL KOMBAT WAS JUST A FUCKIN IDEA!!!!

www.google.com,, search for red faction mod tools or something, good luck.

by the way you might want to start with another game(half life) because half life has more mods and more community/help GL

calm down.. im sure moddb is not the only source on the net for creation of modifications..
if you cant find it hear and you really think its nowhere else then good luck.. i hope i see yor mod in the papers..

that line my kitty box

Metroidfreak its not that simple of a question. Its sorta like asking how do you build a house. For example, you can't just build it by setting up the frame you need to do the plumbing, electric wiring, setting up the drywall after the frame ect ect. It takes many different things to come together to create the house. Go read shortcutmans sticky.

yah i guess you guys are right, my bad carn, and Meteroid calm down and listen to what oper had to say.

Moddb.com

This may help you.. anyways, the point of mods oftenly come into those things:

- editing the source code/sdk/mod development kit (editing the original game EXE file and libraries - adding/removing/changing features - coding)
- editing the game graphics - changing from the original ones into the modded ones (2d, modelling)
- editing the sound - changing from original samples to modded ones
- mapping (creating new areas, modifying old ones etc.)
- getting the whole thing to work (mod leader)

It's not easy to start only with an idea. If you want to start a red-faction modification, then look at RF's profile to find out some links that may help you with general things, or search it in other way. Get the editors, look what other people do, see the forums, and learn by yourself.
