Need a Modern

Nah, The Shift Key Is Best Invention Ever. How Else Would You Be Fishing For Attention?

Guys, I know this is in jest, but be nice

So you need someone to create spacesystems and factions, if I got it right?

If yes, what kind of factions / systems? How many?

Well, for the systems he already said he needs 3D ones. For the factions, who knows.

Ok… i’ll level with ye…

Having been EXACTLY where you are a year ago… i started asking around for help as well… now keep in mind im not a new guy and know half these folks well…

problem is everyone’s got a ton of their own work to tend to… I found the easiest way is via trade… offer your services as well (back the other way), and things may change for you… they may not… its a tricky business this modding & mostly all about how you ask… and at what time you ask… and what you offer in return

Me personaly… im no use to anyone atm as my worklog is backed up out the door (due to me taking vacation for a month or two from “it all” )
I myself am about to start a whole new mod and scrap 3 years of work… many others are in there final stages of tests… or just begining… ect…

Best of luck… i do hope you find a team, working on FL alone is a lonley endeavor… and a path strewn with nasty “unkown” bugs that will bite you latter when you know what to do… but have let it all grow too big to track… better there be another there to proofcheck your work… well before that stage.

I’ll try to be “nice” this time. If all you add is some systems and factions, your mod isn’t so big. A big mod is a mod that improves the original game functions.
About the idea… I think we all know what about it, and I don’t want to be rude. This is the kind of the idea you think of after ending the storyline. Believe me, I played it like 10 times in different mods. Try another idea to continiue the game or take it to another way, to the past maby, or make a total conversion. Now this would be really BIG.

maybe he doesnt want to do that. He’s got an idea. This is probably his first go. Yes it may not be so ‘original’, but goddammit stop being so elitist. Instead of telling him how YOU think a mod should be, why not point him in the right direction for how to get new systems in the game, hmm?

For factions you could try this tutorial:

Else I would do the factions for you, but if your mod’s filesize is 150mb… I could create you the code so that you can directly add it to your files…

Are you trying to tel me I’m an egoist in kind words? Well don’t, because I like it staright and rude.
I WAS pointing him to the right direction IN MY OPINION, not in yours, so if you think something ealse, say it here! That is what threads are for!

gentlemen, please. in a certain way we all try to help as much as it is possible to us. noone prohibits critique and noone is wrong criticising critique, so please, stop fighting each other in public, it won’t lead to anything useful neither for yourselves nor for the threadposter.

Psst: Gisteron: Careful, one of them might be a serial killer!

ability is not the question here. many of us are able to create 3d systems, its not too much different from 2d systems or other conventional coding stuff. question is, who has time and who wants to help. most of us are busy enough with own projects or with participations on projects. i’d really recommend you, through all respect, to learn it yourself via reading tutorials and watching examples not ingame but in code. likely you would get faster progress.

Right, its not too difficult. You just need to edit heights. Unless you mean one 3D model includes a whole system…
