Guest pdxR/T Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hey guys,I have been wanting to make my own mod for years now. I'm basically just looking for someone to teach me how to do it and/or help me. I started a while back with making models but that stuff is long gone. I know some stuff but not everything I need to know to create an entire mod. I have made many small changes to the LA mod. If anyone feels like teaching me I would love to learn. Also I just created this account because I forgot my login info for the other one, so I'm not new. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 First of all, please contact a staff member privately with your old account information to have it closed.Secondly, to mod, you need to know how to model, UV map, and work your way around an XML file and the Editor. Which of these skills do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pdxR/T Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm familiar with the editor and know a little about making models. I've gone through most of the tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm like you, aspiring to create my own mod. Learning how to skin cars and add lights to them are pretty easy once you teach yourself it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Emergency is a rough game to modify because unlike other games where you can do one vehicle at a time, in emergency to have a playable mod you need a rather extensive list of vehicles off the bat.... Without modeling skills to build the custom things like fire engines and large custom rigs it's very difficult to create a mod. The police cars and light trucks generally you can find and get permission(s) to reskin/modify them... But finding two large rigs that are identical is extremely hard. As NFK said, XML's are another thing you'll extensively be tampering with that you'll need to know your way around, the editor aside from map editing is fairly straight forward on how to do things so on that end it's fairly easy.Goodluck,As NFK stated, contact one of the staff members regarding your old account so that it may be merged or removed as it is against our rules to have multi accts active on this forum.

Guest pdxR/T Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I understand that it is a complicated game to modify. And for that reason I want to learn how to do more basic things and then maybe in the long term make my own. Right now I just want to make a few models that are operational.
