Mod Questions...

[Guest IdleMegapixel]

I've being intrested in making a Mod but i have alot of questions that i need answering :

1) How do you put Building, Vehicle and Objects that have being made from a model programm into the game [as an option to call and to put in the EM4 Editor.

2) How do you put the skins that are made onto vehicles and Buildings?

3) What sort of things can scriptors do? Can they edit hydrants to have a certain ammount off water before needing to fill it up, can they make differernt type of fires to be put out with either Water or foam ect.

4) What skills would i PERSONALLY need to start a mod with a team, do i need to know scripting myself ect?

5) How do you make a Map on editor and design it so certain missions happen in certain places or one type of mission in free mode? [E.g. If i was making a Fire Department Simulator how would i make it so only fires appear in freemode ect]

6) How do i put scripts into vehicles, buildings, objects and put everything into the game as a Mod?

7) What Mod would people like to see? [Fire Department Simulator, Life off a Fire Department, A Police Department Simulator ect.]

1) Its about modelling program, you need zmodeler 2 Full-version to export them to v3o file, if you do model in like, 3dsmax, export it to 3ds file, import the 3ds file to zmodeler2, uv-map, if you have texture (you can uv map in the other program too).

2) In zmodeler2 Ist uv-mapping, check uv-mapping tutorial at "Tutorials" Section.

Sorry for my bad english, i can help you more, just ask, hope this helped even littlebit

1) How do you put Building, Vehicle and Objects that have being made from a model programm into the game [as an option to call and to put in the EM4 Editor. - You need to create a new prototype in the editor. Then link it to the v3o files. The v3o links to the models skin.

2) How do you put the skins that are made onto vehicles and Buildings? - Search UV-Mapping, and/or check the tutorials tab at the top of the page.

3) What sort of things can scriptors do? Can they edit hydrants to have a certain ammount off water before needing to fill it up, can they make differernt type of fires to be put out with either Water or foam ect.- Scripters are the back bone of making new functions like the things you mentioned.

4) What skills would i PERSONALLY need to start a mod with a team, do i need to know scripting myself ect? - You have to bring something to the table at the least. You need to be able to atleast script, or models, or uv-map, or make map textures, etc. and being able to do many of these things is even better as you dont have to rely on others. Take the LA Mod for example. Hoppah is capable of doing every single aspect of modding and has done 90%, if not more, of the LA Mod on his own. A few other have helped out, dont get me wrong, but Hoppah doesnt exactly need there help. For example MikeyPI has doen a few models for the LA Mod, Hoppah could have done these himself but may have asked Mikey to do it to ease his work load.

5) How do you make a Map on editor and design it so certain missions happen in certain places or one type of mission in free mode? [E.g. If i was making a Fire Department Simulator how would i make it so only fires appear in freemode ect] - To make the ground texture check the tutorials section. Fires only, check the tutorial section or search. I dont know exactly what you need to name certain objects to make them happen, but look at the LA Mod map in the editor for a good idea.

6) How do i put scripts into vehicles, buildings, objects and put everything into the game as a Mod? - The scripts will be written in away the the game pick up a certain keyword and then you can edit commands for a vehicle to put that command to a certain vehicle.

7) What Mod would people like to see? [Fire Department Simulator, Life off a Fire Department, A Police Department Simulator ect.]
