Yay, checking them out now.

Just took a look at it and I love the little Mod PDF file you included. Very easy and simple to read to give an overview of a view things. I wish more companies did something like this. Only other mod manual from the games I have played was for FarCry with the sandbox editor manual.

Cant wait for what other things you will give us. Keep up the great work.

Thanks blair, i'm already digging in

voidster12 says from the previous thread on this:

"Even a pdf explaining this, this is outstanding! One thing? I did not see this listed, what is the max texture size for the UV maps? 512x512?"

You know I said that they were takeing there sweet time putting this mod package together because; they were trying to put a bow on it and a sports braw to make it cute and appealing to nooblets.

I have to say victoria secret has a competitor now, "I like" this is the sexiest braw i've ever seen   .

Thank's Mr or Miss Blair.

Thanks much!

My question is does this apply to everything you modify? for instance say you modify one file in GameInfo folder another in Mesh folder and finally in Texture folder, do you still have to provide every single file from the original folders into your mod folder whether you've touched them or not?

If this is still the case it's going to make even the simplest of mods pretty big in size and also only allow you to run one mod at a time unless i'm missing something. The only reason i ask is i ran a test on a smiple modification to star_blue changing the mesh, and of course in the mesh file i changed the texture name and provided the texture. first test game crashed, so i copied all gameinfo files into mod folder, ran second test game didn't crash but didn't have any menu textures. So i can only conclude you have to provide all files in every folder you modify whether you've touched it or not. is this true?

In the case of my Mod Sin's Enhanced, which is or maybe was planned to be very modular in design but i was under the impression you could enable multiple mods as in other games which can be modded. As with size my current edition of Sins Enhanced - Sky Box Edition is already nearing over a 100megs with just files i've changed/added in the texture fold, but if i had to include all other textures too, we are talking about a pretty big download.

Hopefully i'm just missing something and paranoid but if all this is the way it works i don't know if it's worth it to mod the game.

Gracias!

yes you are right on that part, but this still means you can only have one mod enabled at a time because everyone you enable overwrites every files. Designing the modding system this way doesn't make sense. It probably won't make me quit modding the game but will definately make me redesign my whole philosphy of having my series be multiple mods (modular). This system just doesn't make sense, makes me think the devs didn't think far enough ahead in their engine design. I can't think of any other game that touts themselves as being highly moddable working in this way. hopefully i'm wrong about how i think it works in sins.

Well, most games that are modded can only have one mod running at a time. I dont think that there are too many games out there that let you have more than one mod running at once, is there?

Actually, I know that Splash Damage (Quake Wars), Gas Powered (Supreme Commander), and Crytek (Crysis) are active on their forums helping others.

However none come close to Ironclad. Usually the others are like "Yea will get it to you soon" And thats all you hear for 2 months. Ironclad is great in that they tell you they are actually working on it.

The game is officially released on 2/10/2008.
