Mods?

[Nahand]

... if EPIC is recruiting from MOD teams that show off "just" with WW2 and other realism MODs, then part of what takes to work at EPIC in -generally- unrealistic games is not there to begin with. I also stress once again that i'm all for MODs and quality MOD teams, but do those "near-professional" actually going to listen? No. They make those "generic" MODs in hope they get noticed by the industry - wich is not a condemnable move, quite on the contrary - but at the "expenses" of entire game communities that can only count pretty much with these themes.

Originality... that's all i'm asking...

I personalyl don't find the realism mods a problem anymore. I used to, immensely during UT and at teh start of UT2k but... well these days it's not so bad i mean we got AirBuccs and Clones and ChaosUT with a spattering of U4E still making their presence known and the realism mdos?
Well are there really that many this time round?
It doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as it used to be, if anything it's jsut the general lack of modding rather than the bias towards realism this time and i never minded realism, i kinda enjoy it sometimes and i can see the attraction, it a can be a more believable gamestyle than unreal.

PosOps, lol.

I agree with Nahand and JaFO i mean come on do we really need 20 realism mods that ultimatly have the same exact thing but with one aspect changed? I mean join together and make one real sweet realism mod with many options if anything.

Another thing that bugs me is having to download a 500+ MB install each mod realease, that's severly annoying. I mean sometimes it's required but it's just annoying. Another reason i won't download mods for UT2K4 (well the big one's anyway)

lol, why don't you try making a mod. If you come up with a good mod idea and get a team together investing that much time into it, cheers to you. But don't be dissin mods when they are presented to the public for free of cost.

I dun give who teh **** y0 b dissin y0 cuz dis forum aint bout talkin **** about mods that some chill people put a lot of hardwork into.

PosOps, lol.

This would qualify as dissin "****"

Amen to that Nahand. I would now like to simultaneously give you half the UT2K4 mod descriptions on their websites:

SomethingOps is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004.
In SomethingOps, you are an ops with objectives that must be completed, and have been put in this B.S situation because of (insert lame storyline here, include words "freedom," "terror," and "perfection.")

I mean, come on. TacOps, SpecOps, ShadowOps, NightOps, FrapOps, PosOps, when will it stop? They all have a guy wearing Counter-Strike gloves, black with fingers cut off, and your loadout includes an M16, MP5, Beretta 9mm, Glock, and knife. I'm not insulting modders out there, contraire, I feel that many of these mods are under-appreciated, and I am always amazed when I see a mod that changes everything about the game, especially because the biggest mod I ever made fixed a grammatical error in SWAT 3. However, the blandness of mods needs to change. And being an "ops" gets old after a while, all this military crap is getting to me.

Hmmm....funny you didn't attack this guy for originally saying it, it was quite funny, i guess *******s like you don't have a sense of humor. And i still never "dissed" any mod ya feel me?

 

[1337]

Saying someone's mod is a piece of **** is considered as "'dissin'"
His post is more constructive criticism, your's is just in the talking **** category, and no, I dun feel it. And now you call me a "***********". I never labeled you or called you a name. I have a sense of humor and "posOps, lolol" is the type of attitude we as a community don't need. Hmmm... funny

Okay, let's handle this in an adult fashion. Now true laughing at that was not cool, and i apologize for that and to the makers of the PosOps mod (if that's the mod you say i called a piece of ****, then yeah that was not cool i was not aware one existed, and i took it out of context).

I apologize for the slang and curse words. I still don't see how the rest of my post was not constructive though, and saying that i am not wanted in the community is kind of a Hyperbole.

Alright. Sorry for being crazy and accusing you of things you don't deserve being accused of. I didn't say you aren't wanted in the community. I was trying to say something else, but I think you didn't comprehend it the way I wanted you to, just as I didn't understand what you posted the first time I read it.

Fair enough, no i get your point, i would never insult or lash at any mod creators i mean i respect they take the time to create mods for the community and hey that's great, i mean can't say that's bad at all.

Get a room you two.

 

[SiN-BiN]

I think that RO is pretty much the only mod that's showing signs of life. Troopers only recently came back to live.

Although some pretty promising mods are in development right now. Defence Alliance 2, Counter Organic Revolution, SoulKeeper etc.

 

[NeoNite]

I wouldn't mind a "One flag CTF" mod. Or the mod being included with the retail game.

I readed in a dutch gaming magazine that modding ''envy'' is so easy that a little baby could make a mod. the modders dont need to script the game or something, there will be a special modding tool in it or something ''but this can also be bull**** what that magazine writes''

 

[JaFO]

You're probably referring to 'Kismet'-feature, which probably is the equivalent of form-editors in Windows-RADs for UnrealEd.

I doubt it's as easy as they tell you. It probably saves the average modder from reinventing the wheel for a lot of basic elements in maps.

Agreed, i like BoomBall for UT and that would be pretty sweet to see that in Envy as well.

Er... they did that, it's called BR.

Man, you missed a lot...

No, I haven't. I have UT2003. I've played the demo when it got released. I've played the UT2004 demo and that's it.
Not that much, but still...

Bombing run.. pfff.. never really cared for that gametype.

Fragball for UT was probably, who knows, the main source of inspiration.
Fragball is fun, bots work fine/ok.. I wish there were more maps.

I'm not talking about anything like bombing run, I'd love to see a "One flag CTF" mutator.

An extra flag.

So that would mean you'd end up having 3 flags in the game. Your own, the enemy flag and the extra one.

 

[Nahand]

... humm... the point being? Besides One Flaf = BR as someone said earlier, even if not exactly the same. The point is?...
