    Awww bro, you messed up. Everyone that does this (posts before they have anything) never finishes or maybe never even gets started. I wish you luck, but you already put some voodoo on yourself.

    Also, from what I understand (from reading other posts) - making "super monsters" throws off the balance of the game and makes game-play suck. You should rethink your idea and attempt to deliver some fresh concepts that aren't the first thing that every noob modder that has ever attempted this would do. You should check out "In the shadows" (search the forum) and see the concepts that a pro brings to the table.

    I'd hate to see you waste all your time building the 5000th version of unfinished Noob Quake. You basically said you are going to build a better skateboard by making one wheel bigger and painting the griptape.

    P.S. I think most of your mod can be accomplished with Cvars in Sevens Small Mod Compilation....just saying

      Talk about a killjoy! but yeah, he is right. We encourage you in your endeavors, but try to stand out a bit more. however, given its your first mod, go ahead and experiment and do what you like. Good luck and i hope you will do great!

        talk about a killjoy!
        I knoooow. It sucked, but it was 100% honest. I mean, I hope the guy creates the best game ever and revolutionizes first person shooting - but his post made me feel like he wasn't even all that convinced that this is his mod.

        Maybe it will piss him off and he will "show" me. Instead of a killjoy, I will be an inspiration.

        Opinion:

        Don't make anything in quake more. No super powerful monsters, super powerful guns or more powerful quads. Not only has this already been done, it isn't beneficial to game-play (generally).

        If you are going to take all the time it will consume to make a mod, why would you waste any of that time making the "first" mod? Invent a solid idea that is worthy of your time, break it down into chunks and work on a chunk at a time.

        Consider your project to actually be that chunk and forget about the rest til it's time to go to the next chunk.

              Awww he ripped his post down. Here is a close copy:

              more guns
              more gore
              music tracks (maybe)
              Actually, that is almost verbatim.

                Hi Sxywox,

                Please don't be discouraged. Although it may have come over that way, I don't think that was Gypo's intention for one minute. We need all the contributors we can get.

                Perhaps when you are ready, you could share more details of what it is you are intending to create. At least that way you can gauge the level of interest from the player base and also tap in to the rich vein of compendious Quake knowledge available on this site. After all, I'm sure you want your creation to a) be well received by the player base, b) take advantage of any good ideas that may be volunteered from the players concerning gameplay or design, and c) make sure you're not putting a lot of time and effort in to doing something that has been done to death before.

                Kind regards

                Monty

                    hehehe. I didn't say you were harsh. Maybe it's a linguistic thing but just reading back through the thread, and given that the original poster has then removed his submission, it seemed that a little more encouragement wouldn't be a bad thing

                        I agree and disagree.

                        I agree that I was a bit harsh, but I disagree that that should equal a removal of his proclamation. If you post something (especially a mod - or even worse "not a" mod) you have to expect people to be honest with you about your post. This means that you have to be ready for opinions on both sides of the spectrum.

                        If you can't even get past the opinion/advice of ONE member (me). How the hell are you gonna build an entire mod? I think some people that come here think mod < total conversion = a mod will be easy. Just the more monsters/guns part of this guys mod will take plenty of modeling, rigging, animating, skinning and QC - then he adds the potential for custom music too? LOL, this simply was not realistic from jump.

                        I would believe it more if there was at least some kind of concrete effort released with the post, some pictures of models or something, but this was presented as nothing more than an idea. Since the "mod" was nothing but an idea, any negative criticism blows the whole mod. Ya see? If he had more than an idea, he would have more to lean on as PARTS of the whole are criticized.

                        Imma say that this mod was never gonna get built anyway. I could be wrong, but I am going by the experience of reading posts by people that are really making mods. They generally start off with:

                        "Look at all this stuff I made, that I am just now telling you about."

                        and end with:
                        "You can visit my website and see even more stuff."

                        It's just not believable (to me) that this was ever gonna go anywhere. I apologize for the effect the directness of my honesty may have.

                          yeah, its sad that trend of unfinished mods has lasted this long. However this phrase comes to mind: "if you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen". You should expect criticism and use it to improve your work, not get disheartned and just take down your post.

                            Well, that is speculation (although probably true). We don't know what skywox intends to do. Maybe he was just taking down the post until he has something more concrete to share.
