TYR Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi fellow modders. A year has passed since i have been working on the combo mod with Aralez, BlackAlmaz and others,we did a great job, and now the time has come to meet and greet, so give yourself the honor to sign this thread, not only if you are a veteran in AM modding, everyone is welcome who whishes to participate. Tell us about yourexpirience and your skills you would like to use to mod Ufo:AF, and feel free to spin ideas about projects you wouldlike to work on. Well i will make a start then for those who dont know who the hell i am and howi came here... My real name is Harald known as TYR, im 24 and i study Communication Science in vienna. I have joined the modding community in May 2004, i already had some knowledge in 3ds, but had no idea how to mod anything. I started to read every single thread in the modding forum, some of them 10 times or more, and started to ask questions about anything. I got on alot of peoplesnerves i guess , but i managed to collect the knowledge of every single modder aviable,exept the scripting thingys, this stuff is for the programmers really. However i became pretty goodand together with Aralez and BlackAlmaz i made the final version of the combo mod. Also we hadsome other guys who made some very cool things like the plugin for Milkshape, or the camera modwhich where the foundation for our whole work. However this is the past, i want to bring in my skills with modeling-texturing once again in the next version of this game UFO:AF, for now i have no planat all, but i would really like to see who else is aboard, so give a tell and say hello. Yours TYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I can't do any modding but but if you want any glossary entries or anything added i could right them... but only for made up weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYR Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Always welcome Blehm, i actually never made glossary entrys for my models in AM, it was a little though and since i was doing modeling, texturing, icon creation, debugging i didnt really invest time in this, i was just happy to have it working and looking good.

TYR Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Howdy, I just got back to the internet, my ISP caneled my account before my new one was done so i was out of order for the last two weeks , i think this might be a general conspirancy of reticulan-wargot-starghost alliance to prevent me from creating deadly weaponry to kick their asses. However for editing the savegames i used the old vfstool from snigget, i extracted the gamedata.vfs changed the values in the strat_game.vfs file, where every technology has its value True or false for aviable or not. Since i was too lazy to fight off 30 paethic starghost attacks i simply gave me all technology to ensure i was able to research the "putting the pieces together" thingy and do the final mission. Saved the file, repacked it, recounted it, and then copied it into the game directory. Exept that i didnt try something else yet. Beside i have alot of stuff to do for college, i dont have heard anything about a 3d plugin yet. However in the xmas holidays i will start modeling weapons. I suggest we start with the basic things, like aditional equiptment, Steyr Aug2, MG42 (for the real gunman), some pistols like colt 45, p90, plasma grenades, mines, etc... what i have really missed are all the mutant species, maybe we could adapt the aftermath models and retexture them for aftershock? greetz TYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYR Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Just one question by me: They promised us better modding support, and as i see 3 months later nothing changed,im kinda pissed of how altair treats their community. Anyways if any talented programmer finally creates a tool for us modders to import/export stuffgive me a tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
