Title: The Modding Thread
Post by: JMickle on January 15, 2013, 06:21:42 pm

After denzquix mentioned modding Normality it got me excited about doing mods again.
I used to do texture swaps and edit levels in Doom2 (using good old wintex)
 
i think my favourite was when i took the weapons from hexen/heretic and put them in as medieval/fantasy versions of the weapons in doom heh.
 
I want to compile a list of cool games to mod, or even just want to mod (then figure the rest out later)
 
Doom engine (free with shareware wad)
Half Life + similar
Source games
Aquaria
Quake (quakeC (http://www.gamers.org/dEngine/quake/Qc/progs1.htm), quark (http://t.co/39uuJVvQ))
Duke3d
Minecraft
Spelunky
Total Annihilation
Bethesda Games
 
also, ROM hacking!
 
Games with external graphics + levels are good ones. Some game maker games do this?

I used to make Duke Nukem 3D maps... they were terrible but I had fun.
 
Yeah there are a few gamemaker games I know of that let you swap out SOME graphics but not not nearly enough to do in true 'mod'. Though I have not been paying close attention to Gamemaker games as of late and my knowledge is about 6-7 years old.

I used to make custom maps for HL2DM and NWN too. Making Source maps in Hammer was a lot of fun
