Reminder that mod makers are just retards who don't understand what an engine is.

Reminder that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modders HAVE MODDED THE FUCKING ENGINE, UPDATED IT

I'd go with OpenMW's OpenCS instead as it's constantly being worked on and improved.

And it's intended to be used to create your own games not just mods for Morrowind.

Unreal Editor 2.1 for Unreal Gold is better than Unreal Tournament 99's editor, has static mesh support, and can still make maps. Too bad it is fuck old and information sites are dying by the day. Look up Unreal Gold 227f, i, or g I forget. Look up Monster Hunter, Rocket Race, Bunny hop, rocket jump, FoodFight.

I've been very displeased with how mods are "supported" in modern games, which usually means cfg edits, or file swaps (sound, models, textures, etc.) are considered something as evidence of truly supporting mods. It's been very disappointing to see this from the absolute fanatics of the platform as well as the developers, but I suppose the former is expected.

I miss when tons of games shipped with the exact tools the developers made to make the game, the level editors they used, the model viewer/editors, the engine tools, and plenty of code to work with. I suppose that more comes with the industry outsourcing tools to standard development environments like maya/3ds max instead of building internal tools - this has unfortunately only raised the barrier of entry for content creation. I do miss those days where anyone could just stumble to the install directory of the game and start up an editor.exe.

That's a good observation about dev tools. On a different note it seems like games written in hosted languages like C# and Java have the largest potential for modding these days as the nature of their platforms means easy decompilation and interfacing. Some examples are Stardew Valley, Rimworld, Mineycrafta etc.

Modding Arma 3 is a pain in the ass.

How would you rig player models in gmod or l4d2?
