Where are they!!?!??!
 

Ok, so I've ordered the game, with any luck I'll have it by the time I get home from work tonight (tues) so now just one things missing......MODS!!!! No offense to anyone, great game and all but when I started playing SEIV it was like 2004, so basically all the best mods were out. So I never even played the stock game. And now all I want to play is mods. lol So with this in mind.....anyone working or planning on any?

You can bet there are a few mods in the works. Its best to let the people working on those mods tell you about them though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm working on a TDM mod, or, well, one race at the moment... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

What do you think should be name of the mod? I have AIM in mind (AI mod) because it is not tied to names like TDM was. TDM was created by many people and I find it unfair to have my name in it but not those of the other modders.

The acronym AIM is already taken by AOL Instant Messenger. I don't think you want your mod associated with that, do you? hehe

Re: Where are they!!?!??!
 

If you want to stay away from AIM you could go with CAI, competent AI?

AIX Mod - AI eXtendended Mod (or whatever with cool looking "X").
On the second thought, IBM already owns this (tm), and you can be sued http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Or better: BOFH - not Bastard Operator From Hell as you might think first, but "Better Opponent For Human" mod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

SPAM is nice too - Serious Play Against the Machine.

I'm thinking seriously about porting devnullmod to SE5. Most of the logic is the same, it seems, so the port should mostly be straightforward. We'll see.

Re: Where are they!!?!??!
 

Mephisto, I think you should retain the TDM name. The name has become a brand at this point and has moved beyond it's original meaning as a simple abbreviation. People know what they are getting with TDM mod, even if they don't know what T, D, and M stand for.

My .02 anyway.

Nobody has actually had the ability to work on mods yet except the betas (and maybe the Aussies for a couple of days), and the betas may still be constrained by the "official" 10/16 release date.

Re: Where are they!!?!??!
 

Once the game is confirmed on the shelves I am sure the people who have been working on mods will post info about thier fine work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Have faith, the SE Gods are smiling on us.
