helljumper51 Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Congrats on starting your first mod and getting into the skillset of modding! My first big peice of advice, there are hundreds of posts like this on the forums and only a handful of modders that are even around. Ive been here since 2007 and this has ALWAYS been the case. Making a post like this probably wont garner much help, especially because the mod design you have is kind of the same as many others except for the models. If you want to try to recruit people to help, try pitching an idea or concept that HASNT been done before or submit a mod idea that is different from whats out there. My Second peice of advice is keep practicing and trying and failing. So many nights I spent trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with my modding and eventually figuring it out. THATS how all of us learned back in the day. I literally have emails still from itchboy and mikeypi on different scripts and concepts we were working on. Keep trying and dont give up. Ultimately, you are the only one who will really be invested in this mod and you can become a modder with the rest of us...just keep at it. I believe in you!

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 My advice. Focus on a skillset. I would say making models for starters but if you're like me, I focused more on scripting. To each their own. Visual art wasn't my strength. Just be prepared to take initiative and ask questions, but be prepared for more of a lesson in catching fish then being handed a fish. Focus and stay determined!

amuchalipsis Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Hi from the other part of the Iberian Peninsula. A good start could be finding some of those vehicle models in other European mods and retexturing them (asking for permission and giving proper credits if you want to make the mod public or showcase it). And if you want to script, then you should learn at least the basics of C++ and take a look at the SDK found here https://em-hub.de/lexicon/lexicon/38-sdk/ Good luck.
