In the coming weeks, I will be compiling a list of modding tutorials for those seeking help. If you have a modding tutorial that you would like added, please post a thread in this board with the tutorial. If it is a tutorial that you are linking to and not your own, PLEASE POST IT IN THIS THREAD, NOT AS A NEW THREAD.

This forum is NOT for asking help. Any modding help threads in this forum will be moved to the modding help forum.

I've read that tutorial before when I first used Mike.nl's editor. It's really useful. And spelt correctly (Unlike certain official map editor tutorials I could mention

)

What's "Blender"??

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:40 pm »

It's an open-source, free graphics creation software. It can animate, skin, export to many formats, and has a built in game engine and renderer.

Morthon · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2007, 12:02 am »

you mean, something similar to 3ds max

GrimReaper017 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2007, 05:45 am »

well, 3ds max costs money, lots of money. it also uses the alo file thingy to create the .alo game files.

blender as stated before is free, and has a built-in game engine. and can only convert to 3ds file types. not .alo's

but yeah, very similar to 3ds max

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2007, 09:55 am »

You should get it. It's free! Nothing to lose.

Morthon · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2007, 11:01 am »

I already have 3ds max 8

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2007, 12:44 pm »

Meh. Oh well.

so you can change it to 3ds and then change that to alo?

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2007, 10:39 pm »

Yeah, but you'll need max to export to alo

ok well idk where this should go, but i really want to get into modding, i really think i have some great ideas, they are drawn out and two of my planned models are also sculpted out, and i really wish to contribute to ueaw. if it's too late to join as a modder or anything, then i would gladly just give my drawings and ideas to ueaw and maybe make this mod even better than it already is=)

Edit: the models are for the Empire for those curious people, they are 3 variants of a star destroyer, and a cruiser.
no names have been given yet, open for suggestions=)

What is your modding talent, Concept Artist?

MiamiFins42 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:07 am »

yes sir, it is. And i really want to know how to turn it into an actual model to be used in the game or in this mod.

As you can see, it's called the "Warspite", based off the Royal Navy ship from Great Britain.

hi everyone, I'm looking for an easy to use program with a good easy to understand tutorial, so i can get started on modding myself.

(and maybe help you guys out later on)

i haven't yet installed the UEAW yet... but it looks and sounds great.

hope you guys can help, thanks.

what type of modding? theres tons of different types, such as mapping, modelling, XML coding, lua coding, and thats just EaW.

obikan · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2008, 01:38 pm »

well im tryna get into coding, but modelling would be good i think

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 29, 2008, 05:23 am »

for coding theres not really that much. however, i am soon going to release (hits myself on the head "i shouldve done it two weeks ago!) the first part of a basic to intermediate XML tutorial.

obikan · « **Reply #23 on:** March 03, 2008, 11:58 am »

Q · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2008, 05:33 am »

please, no spam. thats one easy way to earn yourself a warning, and is also why you should read the stickies.

Twilight5007 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 01, 2009, 02:45 am »

so whats xml coding and lua coding also does mapping mean like making maps? just for clarification

The Ferral One (Jedi Ferret) · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2009, 02:54 am »

XML and LUA are game codding languages. XML is the main code used to mod. Look around a bit and you'll find some good XML Turtorails. As for LUA, oddly some people find it challanging and confusing. I know of no tutorails for LUA. If i find the motivation, I'll find something to LUA code and post a tutorail on it

.

As for mapping, yes, it means making maps. It's probly the second easiest thing to mod, the first damage numbers and what not in XML. However, the question is: How good can you map?

If you even need anymore help, post it in the "Modding Help" section, Ok?

Solar · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:57 am »

mapping is easy, gettting it right isn't

General Bossk · « **Reply #33 on:** September 07, 2009, 03:35 am »

I guess i better put my xml modding tutorial in here then... so here it is...

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #34 on:** September 07, 2009, 07:37 pm »

If we had Karma or rep I'd have to mark that down.

it

a) only provides basic information about file extraction
and
b) provides false and bad practice information on how to implement mods.

There really was no need to add your sig in again.
