Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]

Pocus · #1 September 25th, 2003, 10:50 PM

Nerfix, stay tuned, my first doms II map will be set in Tolkien's world.
Hide your joy

Rigth.
I would have never believed that Pocus will also go so deep that he will make map featuring Elves with ungodly stats.

I hate mods because they are always made by some wannabe-game-developper-1337's who can't even alphatest their mods, make half-assed, unbalanced changes, add some buggy extra sprites, and behave like kings of the world after they have finished their "great project".

Non of your business. Stop posting in this thread? You make no sense. No wonder that you are rated 2 stars. I gave you the worst rating now. You are an idiot.

I reckon.

Yeah whatever. I'm sure itching to see your migthy mod...
I have no delusions that i could ever make something actualy balanced, and i don't think that neither can you, and i have very litle faith on all you mod-dudez.
I will now stop posting in this thread, potentialy in the whole board because Shrapnel relase has atracted GFX worshipping whining idiots here.

No, that's not true in all cases : some MTW mods, EU1-2 mods, HoI Mods, SE4 mods, AOW mods, EFS mods, SPWaW mods, CC mods, and undoubtly other I either don't know of or have forgotten, are indeed BETTER than the vanilla game (and sometimes many times so) !
And I only talk about "rules" mods, many other games just benefit for additionnal/redone artwork.

Anyway noone forces anyone to use mods : you don't like them, then ignore them.
Mod-lovers/Modders just want to be able to mod, why bash them for it ? Illwinter will decide what openness they put in the game, it's pointless and somewhat trollish/stupid to ask for no moddability...

Edit : didn't read all of Nerfix' post before replying, Nerfix quit also ... Sad 'cause he was Dom2 betatester, a real fan and veteran, and had insights and ideas, but he was maybe somewhat too much intolerant...

I agree with you. Well said.
As for Nerfix...he sounds like an idiot. Who cares, if he won't post.
All of his replies in this thread were full with idiotism.
