1st, what are your abilities, in terms of modding? Have you created any ships, or worked with any of the ini files? If you ask for help. it implies you know a little to get going, or are you asking people to make the items for you. If you are on the last part, then you need to be nice and ask politely and also provide pics and other things of what your looking for. People may then be in a position to help you.

Me myself, I like working with the Ini files. I suck at modding the ship.

Let me re-phrase, You have no chance.


There are tutorials where people have spent hours writing exactly how to acheive what you want to do... so you can do it yourself, all it takes is a little effort, and a little reading.

If you don't do it yourself, then it should answer exactly why no-one is wanting to help you out by doing it for you. If you lack the commitment to even attempt to learn on your own, then no-one else is going to commit themselves to it either.

Just not to be completely dissuasive, it's fairly easy to start learning to mod, and addictive once you do. The modding forums (and tutorials forums), and especially the modding for beginners forums, all contain quality threads on information and more about how to mod. They walk you through, the tools etc. As soon as you trip up or hit an issue, post in those forums for help (try searching, then create a new thread). Just please try first though, because people spend a lot of time trying to help solve problems, but if you don't make an effort in the first instance to attempt it yourself with the information provided, then it completely defeats the community objective.

Post Tue Feb 28, 2006 11:58 pm

That's good to hear, once you've managed to make some small changes, you are alot more likely to get others willing to help you out

Hi, sorry I don't know much about modding, but I do know you better have peoples permission to use their stuff before you go ripping it out of their mod and adding it to yours. :-)

Post Wed Mar 01, 2006 7:22 pm

But I could help with the ships part...

Hi Satan, I didn't go as far to say your were stealing anything, just be sure you have permission to use other's stuff before you add it to your mod. You can't just add it and then put some credits in a readme. Just trying to save you some very bad lashback from people's work that you use in your mod, only trying to help :-)
