I used to work on Battlefront II Classic mods but the lack of interest from the people made me abandon the project.

>>16020410

I'm sure there were plenty of silent users who were interested but couldn't or didn't want to say so

>>16020438

For what's worth I think it would be way easier and optimal to just make a game template in UE4 and include everything I wanted to add on my projects, the hard part would be the player models and animations.

>>16020295

Well, I used to use the in-game editors to port over entire leagues in my sportsims if that counts

>>16020461

A Hat In Time had its spotlight, maybe for the wrong reasons but I'm sure they had a good run, way more people worked on the game after its life cycle ended than they ought have

>>16020461

I think it hurts equally, the advantage on a full project is the possibility of mocking EA and Disney by just releasing the template, hell, even if I were the "show early project so they do CnD" I would also mock them by saying "well, is OK, I just hope nobody hacks my computer and steals the project to post it everywhere on the internet -wink-"

>>16020473

didnt some faggots put assets from the leaked battlefront 3 into UE4 and just made a small tech demo?

i wonder why no one has done the same for other games

>>16020763

They did, and then they got CnD, the project is called Galaxy in Turmoil but now it is more of a Halo clone because they were monetizing the whole thing with Star Wars at the beginning, now is no longer interesting even if someone adds a SW mod to it.

What are some easy games to start making mods of? What about ROM hacks as well?

>>16020893

nothing's easy if you don't like doing it, mod for a game you like or don't at all

>>16020893

Star Wars Battlefront II has some decent documentation and has mod tools, mostly limited to gameplay and level design, reskins are easy, body replacers aren't.

>>16020922

did your mother raise you to be this way

>>16020893

For romhacks, it's best to pick a game that's already been widely broken apart and hacked on the system you want to learn about. SMW for SNES, Pokemon for GBA, Mario 64 for n64, etc.

I made a damage modified service rifle for New Vegas for myself because I like the wooden furnish look. Fucked up the collision mesh though so I couldn't pick it up as it floated in the air and had no "pick up this fucking item retard" detection. After that, I said fuck it and looked around for a Lee Enfield mod.

>>16021682

congratulations, you can now make Portal references.

>>16020295

I dabbled a bit back when I was into supcom

Never went past extremely basic stuff but I still loved my performance destroying shogun nuke T3 nuke artillery that I made using bits from other units (iirc it used the T3 model firing supersized T1 mobile arty shells with a different trail effect that would then split into mavor shells and used the effects from another modded unit as the explosion)

Recently I was looking into removing interlacing from PS2 games since apparently someone has came up with a solution for it that requires little assembly knowledge and can be done somewhat easily provided you have some basic knowledge of the PCSX2 debugger.

>>16021682

Portals are neat. You can do a lot of interesting stuff with them. Here's a wad that makes good use of them: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/imposs

I did extensive modding of RA2, and Generals, and to a lesser extent TW but that was ultimately too much of a pain in the ass. Also had a lot of fun modding some age of empires games as well as SPAZ, and Battleships Forever.

I don't actually have anything worthy of being called a release though

>>16021890

it's gone then, have a good thread

>>16021913

you didn't have to delete it, I just would like to talk to other people who mod stuff.

speaking of mods, I also have a starbound mod:

>>16021730

>Battleships Forever.

Man, I loved that game. I made some of my own crappy ships but I never uploaded any of them.

>>16020480

did you hear about the transgender who made the bloodtype mod and human like life cycles mod or w/e, then tried to make a mod that would spawn twitch.tv/discord with it's favorite LBQTTQ tranny charity every 5 minutes so tynan said fuck no to the mod and then the crazy tranny updated his older mods to ruin the game saves and display pictures of female developer groups? allicecil or something like that lol

>>16022033

>then the crazy tranny updated his older mods to ruin the game saves and display pictures of female developer groups

so, he intentionally fucked up people's data with his mod? is that even legal? sounds like some sort of malware

>>16021723

I'm proud of you, Anon.

>>16020295

I'm making a porn mod for a certain VN made in Ren'Py. Shittiness of the engine aside (seriously, it's got to be one of the most retarded things I've ever worked with, what the fuck were the devs smoking), the only thing that worries me is the fact that the community of the game is controlled by literal trannies and easy to offend faggots.

I'm sidestepping the issue by not talking about the mod whatsoever in that community. I'll just drop the finished product when it's ready so that should they ban me (after I inadverently call someone there a mouthbreathing niggerfaggot), I'll be losing an account with like 5 posts total on it and will be able to just make a different one and publish the mod again.

>>16022083

It's actually a gender bending fetish VN :^)

>>16022080

'Tis annoying to have the work you slaved over for months get purged because you called someone a faggot.

>>16022083

Back to the kitchen.

>>16022087

so, it's an anime styled tranny VN, right? right on the money

I mean, gender confused basement dwelling soy boys with anime avatars on (((Social Media))) are the main audience for these sort of "Games" anyways

>>16022087

>'Tis annoying to have the work you slaved over for months get purged because you called someone a faggot.

I don't understand, why would they have the ability to delete what you're working on? Is it only saved on their servers or something?

>>16022097

Because I want people to actually play the mod? Some autists might be happy with storing their work on their HDD, never showing it to anybody, but I am making the thing with the expectation that other people will play it.

>>16022101

They'd take down the DL link, thus preventing others from playing it.

I used to be fairly heavily involved in romhacking Fire Emblem.

I am deeply ashamed of this past.

>>16022104

So just host the file elsewhere.

>>16022116

The VN is extremely niche, meaning the only audience for it is centered around said community. If I host it elsewhere, nobody will find it.

>>16022104

>>16022103

why would you want anybody from a tranny community who would ban you for using the word "nigger" to play your game to begin with?

>>16022120

It's led by trannies, but contains even anons from /hgg/ and I think halfchan /d/ is involved in making the VN itself.

>>16022125

just post it on /hgg/ then

>cuckchan's /d/

not surprised that community is pozzed, then, or that it's full of trannies

>>16022025

Same, it was fun as hell. Shame it was built in game maker, and basically pushed that poor "engine" to it's limits so that the dev basically gave up on that spaghetti code mess. Still, it ran shockingly good for what it was. I even have decompiled code and some libraries it relied on laying about somewhere in my archive from when I tried to fix some broken shit, and quickly gave up.

>>16022011

For SPAZ, I really loved messing around with particle effects, especially because I'm a real snob about them. Just about every modern game makes the same mistake, too much going on to see fuckall. What I did was reduce and thin the effects to make them more meaningful. As an example, all laser widths get cut in half immediately, then checked and tweaked from there. Projectiles get properly sized and speed in comparison to their damage, and got the trails replaced to make them truly feel like a ball of "fuck you" was coming your way. Likewise hit effects get properly sized to make it feel like an serious or impact happened, which enough color to be able to see it without having to focus on it. Eventually I'll clean up my mess and make a release, because it's a surprisingly fun game and deserves a cleanup.

For RA2 and generals I mostly took the mods that did a good job of fixing bugs and making balance adjustments and adding some units to fit my preferred playstyle make a mary sue faction.

While modding tiberium wars, I actually spent more time in 3ds max fucking around than playing the game. I don't have max installed right now, so I can't show off my shitty model edits and semi-original creations. To be honest I'd probably be embarrassed by some of that stuff after looking at it with my older more critical eyes. Blender has gone a good way toward unfucking it's horrible UI, so I'm eventually going to have to have another go, as I rather liked doing that stuff.

Most of the CNC stuff I did was largely shit already rehashed by the community a million times already, but to my credit I did manage occasionally have an original thought every so often.

Age of mythology was also fun to mess around with, and was easiest to mod. I did my best to turn down the fairly extreme paper-scissors-rock thing they had. A little if good, but too much makes for bad gameplay. AoE and AoE2 were not mod friendly at all (basically required hex editing), though they had fantastic map editors.

>>16022404

>I really loved messing around with particle effects, especially because I'm a real snob about them.

Same here, when there is a opportunity to fiddle around with particle effects I keep messing around with it even if the result is rather average but I keep doing it anyway. Its interesting to read what you come up for your mods even if you never gonna release it.

>Blender has gone a good way toward unfucking it's horrible UI, so I'm eventually going to have to have another go, as I rather liked doing that stuff.

Its not perfect and with some changes made with the left side bar it is more annoying but it is much better than the older GUI it used to have. For me It does feel more comfortable editing with Blender than on 3DS Max.

>>16022033

Sounds like a nutcase, but I haven't been active in the community for a while. I assume they did this on steam where all mods get auto-updated too.

>>16022011

>Damn this sounds fucked up man.

Indeed. I had the environmental control hub and a lot of ventilation shafts done, and when I test-compiled that section to see how it would play for the various alien classes, two sides of most of the shafts would be missing. Using the ability to wall-crawl let me see exactly how fucked up the compilation process was. Every time I tried to re-compile test maps, even without making any changes in the project, random brushes and lights would just be gone. Infuriating.

When I made Quake 2 maps, I used a tool called Qoole. It fucking SUCKED. The editor could only "see" so many brushes/polygons, so any map more complicated than Doom 2's E1M1 would barely be visible. Then randomly it would misalign brushes, leaving gaps and hitches everywhere.

I wanted to make a trap map, where players could get access to various control rooms, and press buttons to activate wall spikes, lava pits, gas chambers (((oy vey))) and other hazards, but be open targets to anybody else on the map when doing so, but due to Qoole being a piece of shit, I abandoned that, too.

>>16020295

I contribute to an AutismBlocks mod dedicated towards turning the game into a village micro-management system. Instead of creating expensive blocks that do things, like most tech mods, you spawn a village of NPCs who you can automate in a semi-dwarf fortress style way(You can command guards to follow you, and you can assign villagers to buildings which gives them jobs, but otherwise they are semi-autonomous) We're just about to implement 3X3 AI Crafting so you'll finally be able to request specififc items to be produced, and with it, hopefully support for various mods such as TiCon.

It's called Minecolonies for those interested.

I changed one line in Total Annihilation's config files to up the max unit count. Does that count?

>>16037446

Anymore, even setting initialization variables in the shortcut for a game, counts.

So is there a nude mod yet?

>>16021015

Unless you're making a romhack of SMW. Then there's tools that will do most of the hard work for you.

>>16021648

>gog

>drm

Considering I can download a gog installer, use it, and play the full game hassle-free, without ever having paid for it or tied it to my account, I'm pretty sure there's no drm there.

>>16038234

It takes concentrated autism to even be able to play Super Mario World anymore. I've yet to see a hack for it that doesn't suck cock. It's like people who have never played a video game tried to design all of the levels.

>>16038269

What hacks have you played? You ever tried just the various SMWC contest entries? Or the MaGL contests? To me, it sounds like you only tried the notorious ones, like Brutal Mario and the VIP series.

>>16038393

I spent three months looking for people's opinions of the best SMW hacks, and watching video of them to verify those claims when I got a Super Everdrive. Good god, they're all trying to be Undertale, Kaizo Mario, or some ungodly mix of the two. The most promising stuff I saw looked like the abomination that was to be Super Mario World 2 for the SNES CD or CDi.

What I would want from a Mario hack is levels in the spirit of the originals, with the same teaching progression that was in those original levels. Not that it should be easy, but advanced jumping bullshit does not belong in the first third of the mainstream path through the game. Save the "oh, you know how to stick-jump off of block walls" shit for bonus areas. I've seen some decent Sonic Mania level hacks that take various Sonic games' levels, and jazz them up a bit, making them a bit less sparse and linear to fit better in say, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, without being so damned vertical. Still, competent ROMhacking takes a lot of the autism, as mere desire doesn't normally last long enough to pull off anything truly impressive.

>>16038443

Have you tried call of cthulhu.

I did modding but lost the will to do so. If you want to make a game, make it yourself tbh.

But I did a few quality of life mods for various moddable games just for my enjoyment, not sure if that counts.

I also coded a few private servers for some dying/dead mmo games and to emulate the actual game right takes some knowledge.

I've made small to middling-size mods for Doom and Halo PC. Despite the performance issues with the engine, GZDoom's DECORATE script is very simple and fun to use. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try modding or even learn programming.

>ostracized

I haven't been ostracized myself, but then again I don't write shit code for the sake of memes. Good luck figuring out what that function did when you come back 4 months later and your variable names are "loli," "shota" and "ara." I would not help you code, anon, sorry.

>>16020854

>trying to get an easy A

That sounds incredibly close to lawsuit territory. Did you have a history of really good/really bad grades? I was fortunate and managed to get a high school that seemed to give kids whatever they wanted as long as they weren't fuck ups. I took the programming class 3 years in a row, even though there is no 3rd year curriculum and all I did was try to learn C# on my own (it was new at the time).

>>16038504

>That sounds incredibly close to lawsuit territory. Did you have a history of really good/really bad grades?

I made the mistake of opting out of an AP program after I aced the first year of HS doing useless busywork. I protested that the program was idiotic, as while the normal classes had to complete say, the odd-numbered problems in Algebra, the AP classes required all problems to be solved, with longhand work on a separate paper. English was even worse, with a mandate that all answers to chapter questions must be in essay form, no fewer than three paragraphs, regardless of the answer. Most answers were the name of a character, or could be stated in a single sentence. They took exception to me pointing out that working harder was not working smarter, and that the material being covered was the exact same as what the regular classes were doing. They too such offense that my 9th grade credits were erased, and I had to take all of the classes over again. At that point, since my Children Services case worker refused to push the issue with the school board, I just stopped doing anything at all, barring three assignments in Algebra 2 to prove that I could pass the class doing 30 minutes worth of work, and did.

Let this be a lesson to you: never allow yourself to be abandoned by your parents and to become a ward of the state. Also if the school has black administrators, fucking run.

>>16038617

>The same fucking material as non AP courses

Jesus Christ anon, I'm sorry. Coming from a school that tried extremely hard to prepare all students for AP exams and offered tons of support in preparing for them, that's a stark contrast. I hope you've found your way in life, regardless of whatever public education shithole you crawled out of.

>teachers were absolutely fucking livid

>pushed us harder than ever to get back at the administration, went out of their way to find resources for our specific colleges to let us test out of the classes we were otherwise going to be forced to take

>grading software system was new and transferred grades from previous years into it

>wasn't designed for AP coursework

>didn't weigh it higher in the GPA

>almost a quarter of my graduating class was closed off from high profile scholarships because their grades "weren't high enough," despite taking AP classes

>I personally was valedictorian, which the school admitted after the fact, after giving it to someone who took no AP classes because their software said she was higher

The collapse can't come soon enough.

>>16038877

DMC2 fucking sucks, tried to replay it and it was just so easy and boring, is the mod for the PC HD or some emulator?

>>16038981

It isn't worth it, even if your life currently feels unsatisfying. Nothing is worth giving up to pathetic parasites like school administrators or other paper pushers. Nothing is worth giving up, period. There is more worth in a single one of your retro-inspired title cards than your school admins' career. I've wanted to hurt people before but I approach life as a game and I see that as "ragequitting," it always makes me think twice. Then I realize that I will never be as pathetic as they are and it's easy to move on.

Sage for blogpost.

I can say what I appreciate about DMC2 as a huge Devil May Cry fan, but It's clearly the weakest game in the series, I know I won't change anyone's mind, even if I list what I like about it.
