#SE4 Speaker #4 - Tesco Topic :Modding 101 Part 1

Erax · #1 August 8th, 2003, 12:10 PM

OK Tesco, first ahead-of-time question : have you worked on any of the existing mods ? If so, what was your contribution ?

I really liked the let's-create-a-mod-workshop idea, I'll see if I can be there. Gotta get DavidG's modder and study it till then.

hi. i have built a few.

current known mods are

tesco mod (1.49) mod never updated

sweet mod series ( there are 3 Versions in play and a varation called sweet ancients )

The Temporal mods ( 3 Versions for when the temporal weapons were broken )

the unfinished tech grid mod. ( which sits on a shelf gathering dust... maybe when nhl starts up again )

And the top secert mod that is currently in the works with a few people which should be released for public use Sept 5th... But I cannot go into details on that. Just drop a hook.

I have helped out on other mods ( usually just suggestions, ideas, naming of stuff or conversations )

Created maps and design names.

All in all i have a good 2 years of modding experence behind me and most likely the record on pbw with number of mod uploads ... this is only to bug geo... as the sweet games play out on the mod it starts with and the next game gets the next Version

Hey looking at that i think that the Last few years have not been a complete waste of time. Please tell my wife that

Hi. I am so sorry I will have to cancel myself tomorrow night.

RLI has really hit hard. Fryon knows if you wanna ask.
I am really sorry. As stuff has just kept coming up the past few weeks. I hope things improve soon. As it has been a really hard summer. If it was not for the bad luck then it would be no luck

Hi people.
Life still bad.

But I hope to run this on wed coming up.

I am prepairing a document to go along with the lessions.

Just Screen prints with some text.... I will post them as the modding goes along. I think that user comments will be good as well.

This will work hand in hand with the current modding information that is out there.

My question is what format do you wish for the document to be saved in for future downloads etc...

Text is always best... that or HTML.

With HTML, you can upload it all to shrapnel for instant viewing.
Just be sure to upload the images first, so you can change your links to match the shrapnel filenames.
