yeah well, a lot of people are overambitious and try to be "the next big thing" so much they never finish.

Also, there's a LOT LOT less modding talent out there than people seem to think.

Anyhow give it 2-3 months and the first hl2 mods should be rolling out, I'm willign to bet AG2 will be among the first few.

There are Far Cry mods coming out that have to do with dinosaurs.

Yes, HL2 just came out, and to do Total Conversion mods that at least have decent quality takes months to accomplish, what with all the models, concept art, maps, coding, etc. So, don't expect a mods's full release until the Spring or Summer seasons. However, you'll find plenty of mods about to enter their alpha/beta phase, like that "Return of Mana" mod, so be sure to check up on mods like that by visiting Moddb's Mods page ( Moddb.com ) and see how close they are from being completed.

There are plenty of mods out for all three (Doom 3 has flashlight mods, HL2 has technical mods, Far Cry has new models and whatnot), but you won't find any real mods for a while.

Just be patient, and you'll be finding some real good mods coming your way soon :) Like mine, The Masamune Project :D ( Moddb.com )

Yeah I would give it a week, if the popular teams were smart, cause if yuo finish the models, and skins and hud design, you can code the game in a couple months, and make the maps in a couple months....

Um, usually, it doesn't take a week to do models and things like that. People do have lives outside of mods, after all ^_________^

If you take into account mods that were on the verge of death and simply used the "moving to HL2" as the excuse, than i'd say about half as many as those proposed for HL1 that were actually completed.

what I meant was, out of majority the released mods I've seen, generally the coder's have been unemployed and working soley on the mod, and actually /don't/ have a life outside the mod.

It does seem like there are not many mods.

Did the mod scene die out? From having to wait so long for DOOM and HL2? I know I almost gave up. Still might. Keeping plans on hold for years is hard.

I had not been to moddb for a year or so. I came back and the place seems empty now.

Dec 26 2004 Anchor

Of course the mod scene hasn't died out :S There are still a lot of mods being worked on, fixed, or released. I don't think the mod scene will ever die out (unless, of course, they stop releasing moddable games).

The forum dees feel rather empty, though... all the forums used to have posts on them. That isn't the case now :S

Yeah I have been checking that out too.
I am kinda suprised that there isnt many mods for Farcry :s isnt it supposed to be really simple to map and such :s I dunno I think thats what I have heard :P

Pathways Redux for Doom 3 is out and that's a decent length Single Player mod with modifications to most major things, enough to change setting and story.

Moddb.com

I think Far cry's mod scene got killed (or maybe just badly wounded)by the SDK delay and net code problems. Don't know how Doom's will turn out in the end.

Dec 26 2004 Anchor

There are plenty of Far Cry mods going on. It's just hard to change an engine that's built specifically for making islands to something something else is all :)

I'm suprised I haven't seen any Doom 3 mods lately. I thought there'd be a lot more by now.

Dec 26 2004 Anchor

Well, there are plenty of small mods out there, like changes to the flashlight and whatnot.

It seems there are 5 mods out there released, although I don't know if that's the truth or not: Moddb.com

Well I dont think there will be many Farcry mods out because first off most will have to be single player because I hear MP on both DoomIII and Farcry suck. :P
