Hi! I'm new to the world of modding/programming, and I haven't created anything of my own yet...but after seeing this game-in-progress and many mods, i'm kinda inspired to try my hand at it. I know absolutely jack about triggers and programming AI and graphics and all that... but I do have quite a few ideas for some good scenarios and perhaps even total conversion projects/games...

Anyhow, the main reason i'm posting is that I'd like to check out other mods/games... the more I see, the more I learn and the more ideas I get for my own stuff...

So if you guys could show me some really cool and interesting mods/games I'd love to check them out...

I'm particularly interested in Arthurian related stuff...

so if anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated...

Again, i'm new to all of this... but i'd like contribute and learn some stuff so I can create my own mods/games...

thanx

Hmm, whatever Arthurian or whatever it was is ..

Anyway, i am the project leader on the first 0ad mod ever. Its not officially in development yet, but it is unofficial ..
Anyway, the first you gotta do is getting some members into the modding team, so you can discuss the ideas with them. Then you got to get a game to mod, and then start planning. After most of the plans are made, make A LOT of sketches... and then start modelling, adding, fixing and all that stuff!

We are in a need for Scenario makers, and AI maker on our modding team, so you might contact me, if you want to join it, or just wanna chat: zezar_88@hotmail.com !!

[Zeusthor]

first 0ad mod in development, eh? will it be the first released? .

[ZeZar]

Hmm, i dont really know if its the first, but i say so
And its brings some attention sometimes, saying it.
Is there any other known real 0ad mod??

will it be the first released?

Thats pretty sure yeh. Off course, small one caracter mods and tha stuff will probably come first, because of all the data and stuff we have to do before we can release it, but since we are allready working on some models, and the website + all the planning, im pretty sure this will be the first mod, that is actually adding 1+ civs !!

[King Tutankhamun]

I could close it if you want, so you want this thread closed?

[ZeZar]

@Got it Arga!
As you can see Desmond, i dont think there will be much on topic talk, since he also have made this thread at TLA forum.

But its your call !!

[DarkAngelBGE]

Closed after a request from ZeZar.

[Wijitmaker]

Didn't find any reason to close the thread, so I reopened it. Closed threads look bad, because it implies something bad occured.

Nothing bad occured, therefore re-opened.

So the Oad editor may be simailar to aom editor If so thats great news thats the only game editor im really good with.

[Aeros]

Nah, the 0AD will most likely be like the "0AD Editor" It's a class of it's own, I don't think it should be compared to another game's editor. However, if you're familiar with AoK or AoM's editor, or Empire Earth's editor, then you'll be fine.

lol, classic cHeezY reply

[Mythos_Ruler]

Have to agree with CheeZy there. After viewing the initial editor GUI concepts, this editor will be the finest with which I have had the pleasure of designing.

[ZeZar]

Like Empire Earth? Awsome .. The only thing i didnt get there was the effects, and so on editors But ill guess i can learn

[deaconwar]

Ill take your word for it Mythos Ruler cant wait to design some sweet scenarios

[Aeros]

Ah, I haven't actually shown any Editor Technical concepts to the public yet, I just remembered.

Meh, you guys want some new material from us, right?

Here's a taste of what you can expect.



I can't emphasize enough that things are so massivly subject to change that you shouldn't trust what you see in that concept at all - it's just an idea of "what we're aiming for". Oh, and this was made 6 months ago for those of you wondering.

This is one of the 30 (and counting) concepts that are part of the Scenario Editor Document - which is 17,000 words long (900 paragraphs - 51 pages at size 9 font in Word), which is part of the Technical Design Document, which is something like 250,000 words Yeah, there's alot of written work here.
