im not a noob to gaming (im hardcore) but i am just starting to use mods. does anybody have any idea if this is a good game to start off modding with?

Toumaz · « **Reply #1 on:** May 21, 2007, 12:57:02 am »

Yeah, Soldat is an excellent game to start off modding with. It doesn't really require you to get any special editing programmes and it's rather intuitive.

This topic should be able to answer any questions you might have how to actually mod something:

And more specifically, check out the Soldat Wiki. It's a great resource, and not only for modders. ;)

At the start will be dificult

mxyzptlk · « **Reply #4 on:** May 21, 2007, 02:19:40 pm »

Hey, if you want to, make it.

I maked "thing"

similiar to this idea, shooting Hell-Spawn/Damned, explosive babies in my Beast mod, name was inspired by controversial shirts of some metal band, probably Cradle of Filth and movie "Unborn", actual is remake from my first mod ever.
Soldat modding is in common/mostly manual work, so you can do outline to yourself, helpful is just studying real pics of guns and make comparision and find enoug scale/generalise to Soldat gfx files at weapon-menu or just in-game.

-Skykanden- · « **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2007, 07:00:07 am »

you need do all yourself no exepcions, only you can take some colours...

the outline, a button?? what you say, you know whats ms Paint?

Henito Kisou · « **Reply #9 on:** May 22, 2007, 07:13:57 am »

You can make gun in easier ways with of outlines, If you can make correct or rewsemble outline to real weapon, also you need known, what parts are inside, where are ends of that parts, and make additional outline (temporary color is black) inside, change them, when you fit with colors and shading that smaller cells, where color is similiar to end of actual cell. This is part-to-part shading, but you can just draw outline and fit all inside with correct shades, lights etc.

stupid question. is it a good idea to go straight to guns or try swords or melee weapons first?

Lord Frunkamunch · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2007, 08:35:25 pm »

I'd do guns, but start on pistols.

xtishereb · « **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:20:33 pm »

Save it as a .png using MS Paint. It will reduce the image size and not distort the image at all, and you'll be able to upload it.

What's a lame, you give it up, before making something? Just try, no matter, If you make shit, some modders start from ugly/newbie/terrible/shitty mods or what you can say there mods/ and later are really professional with pro shaded, sexy guns ints and more

WHat¿? you leave the game? or what?

please make a gun to test it

Valorman · « **Reply #25 on:** June 01, 2007, 04:27:12 pm »

just leave him alone, if he wants to be a quitter let him, he's only hurting himself for giving up like a little child.

Lord Frunkamunch · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2007, 08:20:42 pm »

Holy crap, he thought about making a mod, asked for some suggestions, and DIDN'T DRAW US ANY GUNS FOR A VIDEO GAME? Wow, how immature. You're obligated to at the cost of your honor! What would we all do if people we're never going to see or know anything about aside from how good at pixelart they are decided to be childish and NOT DRAW US GUNS! Seriously dude, you've really got to rethink your life and get some priorities if all you can do is sit around not drawing us sprites like any rational, mature person would.

mxyzptlk · « **Reply #27 on:** June 02, 2007, 11:27:12 pm »

Wow, nice sarcasm, frunkamuch.

The problem is, he had the guns that he had prepared himself to do, had them ready, and stopped altogether because he coulden't get them on the site.

Thats a lot of wasted effort. Thats why people are calling him a quitter.

currently i am trying to fix my xbox 360 cause last week or 2 weeks ago i brought my 360 to my vacation house in dark shore (on kalamidor) and i live in red ridge mountians (in eastern kingdoms) which are both located in azeroth. so i stupidly unplugged the 360 hd cables and wasnt paying attention when i un-plugged em ******* cables so now i cant play my 360. also, i got into cortex command and am making a map for it which is supposed to be a workout gym for CC. the map is still in layout (****) phase so please dont go "l_l83/2 7El-l 90////20/2 [/2i7i[i5//" its uber teh pwnzor criticism in leet speak (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet_speak to get the "official" leet speak language). also i have finals in school for the next 2 weeks.

Date Posted: June 03, 2007, 11:05:51 PM

wtf the file is messed up on here! the lines ARE completed and do not have holes in them on the real map! i think this happned cause its .png also, my on my map im gonna try to find out how to make spawning basketballs, and maybe some weights also and im gonna try to make the showers shoot out acid or fire or some of both! if its possible. not again! l_l83/2 7El-l 90////20/2 [/2i7i[i5// got messed up! where the "//// are is supposed to be some foward and backward slashes to make an "M". this also happned in criticism for the "M". just recently (couple hours ago i just remembered this) i downloaded Little Fighters 2 and Grand Theft Auto 2 and im playing those a little. just remembered im trying to fix my game cube. i think the video cord to plug in the TV broke but audio is good.

I guess that If you can't mod soldat ....how you could mod any other game ? ....You won't make it.

In default map possibilities, this isn't possible, but If you use spawn of basketballs as grenade, medikit, just modded gfx. 1 way is that, where you put stationery shooting knives, knife can be modded in gfx part also weaponmod (damage, at spawn stationery put bot spawn (any team or just player spawn) in hidden place of basketball thrower, to prevent shoot in any directions, make collision (normal) polygons. Showers with acid/fire... static, hurt (acid) or lava (fire) polygons.
Btw, this is MODDING help forum, not MAPPING.
