[Sayantan]

Okay here's a tiny video attached to this post. Is the animation okay? And do I release it now then?
If u wanna comment how u want this stuff to be just mention here.
Another question is that the file size a bit biggy. So whom should I send it?

[Chetic]

imo it looks very good.
You want to release it ^_^

Would host if i could, but i can't cos i haven't got a public ip :\
How big is it?

[ThoRCX]

This is my military.... car? (it's not a tank hmm... I don't know what it is )

I take the model desigh and the body texture from Postal².

[TerminatorBR]

[TerminatorBR]

The link is not working

Off-Topic:

Did you like them?

[ThoRCX]

Can I take your Excellent Forklift in my site?

[ThoRCX]

Which link isn't working? the download or the site?
I liked your AK47's works, but I think I'll put a M60 instead of a Double AK

[TerminatorBR]

Hey, the site is working normally, but not the downloads, when i click them, nothing happens...

[Canada_Dry]

M60 in your mod Thorcx was a nice addition.

[Lunar Blue]

Can I take your Excellent Forklift in my site?

Please do, also if other people have a place to put it you are free to do so.

[MrUniq]

plz stay on topic and keep questions to individuals in personal messages. If you have prefabs post them. I'm gonna start posting here before the thread loses it's purpose. I suggest u ask maddie to delete some of the above posts.

[wiggleworm]

Wow, that looks so much like one I just saw on de_office (counter-strike) is it off Counter-Strike by any chance? If it isn't good work and if it is good work on the new textures!

[Uisor]

Made this for my own level, so whit same trouble I can release it to other too, just remember to give credit if you use it.

Download Here

[Thestranger]

it looks realy good !
congrats

as for the credit you can't expect someone te credit everyone for everything he ever used in his mod. I plan on writing a line that comes down to this in the credits:
many thanks to prefab creaters and the modding community all round.
Could you come to terms with this?

[Joonas]

Well, you could be a bit more specific with the prefab line... I guess.

[Ghast]

Didn't know there were so many prefabs out there that giving credit was so taxing *LOL*

(Am kind of glad that my early (and very lame) vehicles pulled from MP1 are getting credited to Noodlez on that French site)

But I plan to credit all contributors, only wish downloads always either included a read_me or FSM credit message *G*

Same here, I always try to do very detailed credits list. You could just say "Prefabs by: blalalala", but I usually add information telling which prefabs the person has actually done (same whit other parts of the mod, like particles, models etc.).

And talking about Read_Me whit credits, I forgot to put one here, mainly because it doesn't need any special hazzle whit database like my 2 previous prefab packs, but I'm going to add one in). And FSM credit, like add line "This Prefab is made by Uisor, blah, blah, blah" in FSM box?

[Thestranger]

I'm sorry guys but this shit is realy not why I started modding. The beauty of a modding community is the cooperation something we're starting to get going around here.

I'd like to call to everyone to start making prefabs and sending them into the community.

I suppose I should give the right example the only thing I have at the moment is a pack of cupboards.(see picture)

If you're interested let me know I'll upload it somewhere!

[Sayantan]

Actually it is the so-called "CREDIT" which makes the prefab maker feel that he has done something worthfull. Prefab makers dont do it in exchange of money from the ppl for whom he made that. So as a Homo-Sapien(unless he's a monkey), it is the responsibility of the modder to give detailed credits to the ppl who made the prefabs. In fact I think its not necessary to credit Remedy for using any official prefab, coz they somehow got money from somewhere for making those.But for modders u damn gotta give the credits(unless u r an evil heart). Though u can mention at the end of the credit list that "Thanks to Remedy for making the best game on all the planet known to human beings".
Let me give you an example (the following is totally fictitous):-
"Uisor" makes those fire-extinguishers for the community though he is tightly packed with his personal work. He makes it thinking that its a very handy & necessary prefab and many will use it and he will get satisfactory credits from them."The Stranger" downloads it and uses it in his level. He releases the level at L4Y or MPHQ. Uisor downloads that level and plays it. He suddenly spots his prefab and finishes the level to see the credits. He finds that no name has been mentioned in the credit list except for "The Stranger". He becomes a bit dissapointed and decides not to make any prefab for the dumb asses in the community(except for his own personal level). At that very moment the biggest loser is modder who are mere noobs but who is honest to give credits and looking for a quality prefab.
I think u guys get it what I'm saying. Even after hearing the post above (The Stranger), I'm thinking a bit whether I should complete my door set for the community or not.

[Canada_Dry]

good post sayantan...completely agree

[Thestranger]

ok look this is my last attemp from me to prove my (according to you all "behavior of pure evil")

I don't know why all of you make mods but for me it's something personal, for me it's proving to myself that I can and that I am quite good at it when I get my mind to it.
Now for me personally making an excellent mod and getting good comments on it is more than enough. If someone was to release my mod with some different doors and put his name on it I would'nt mind. I'd come across it and say poor guy can't make a decent mod I feel sorry for him and that would be all. I would'nt hold a grudge and it would'nt stop me of making even better mods.

However to keep those of you happy who are very sensitive about this how about I enter the following line into the credits?

"this mod was created with lots of help from the mod community on the remedy forums and could not have been mase to perfection without severel prefabs. Those of you who recognise their work may contact me and request credit."

I'm sorry but that's the best I can do
I repeat that I personaly am satisfied with just a word of admiration as I did for the fireexstinguisher prefab.

[Canada_Dry]

I think thats fair

[biXen]

If you can't make complex objects or textures, why pretend that you can, that's all we are saying. I don't think there's a need to list some heavy credits, I may do that for whatever stuff I get elsewhere, like some good photosources for textures I'll post a link to the page etc.

I think you should at least list where you got them, so it's possible to look them up. Cause that will show who made it and make it easy for other people to also use it.

And for the record, I'd be pissed as hell if someone took my map, edited a couple of things and released it in their name, but it's not possible anyway. But there's something about a mod community that's more important than anything else, and that's respect. There's a lot of free things here, but when someone says or implies they would prefer if you didn't do or use this and that, you should follow that.

[Thestranger]

you're right people should respect each others feelings.
However as I said before I'm not going to waste my time with looking up all the data to make a credit list of a mile long.
modders are artists. And the good artists are proud of their work and don't it for the recognision.

[Jokke_r]

yes they do...

if you use other peoples stuff ALOT and don't credit at all you yourself might be a really bad modder who can't map worth shit but still make something good loooking becouse of prefabs made by others you sure as hell should credit them...

if you can't make one yourself then use a prefab but don't fool others you made it...

i allways credit all those things i didn't do myself individually and it isn't time consuming either... at the bottom of the readme i can write...

desk and telly prefab by ghast...
and cans but uisor....


now that took me 2 seconds to write...

so if you say your list will be a mile long then you didn't really do much yourself huh? maybe you aren't as good as you think you are? but others then give you respect which DOESN'T belong to you...

[Thestranger]

hey dude no need attacking me, I was purely speaking hypotheticaly. I would'nt dream of making a mod purely from other peoples work. I'm good at it myself (yes you heard me rigth, don't even dream of commenting on this) therefore I do everything myself. What I was trying to make clear before was that everything I make is not at all copyrighted. You want to use something of mine sure go ahead that just proves I'm the better modder and do I care that people will think someonde else made my stuff
HELL NO!!
I realy could'nt care less I make my mods for gamers not for the credit I get for it.

I know I'll probably never be asked by any company to work for them because they have seen my great work but I never planned to do this for a living so who cares.

I'm afraid you can't have anything against my opinion on this: I don't care so in the rare event that I use a prefab from a modder I will give them the opportunity to contact me and claim credit. I'm realy srr if you can't come to terms with this but it won't be any other way.

[Sayantan]

Firstly, read the first line of my sig. Thats very much explains what is wrong with you.
Secondly, if you are so over-confident about you so-called game development talent, I think this Max Payne 2 modding community doesn't deserve to have such an over-talented guy like you.

[MrUniq]

Plz don't get this thread locked Stranger if u have more to say u can start a new topic, plz.

But I will say this, all the guys are trying to say is that in any mod community it is customary to give credits...u can go to any game community and they will tell you the same.

I know in Unreal forums if a mod has uncredited content....they reallly jump on people about that, almost to the point that they may get blackballed by the entire mod community if they don't credit.

Thats because epic games themselves takes actual mods and put them on the market or feature them on their site....thus creating job opportunities/recognition.

Thats just a fact of game modding and if you wan't to be part of a "community" you have to be considerate of others no matter how petty u think something is simply because you are using their creation/content.

I've never had trouble with anyone from this community they are fair people.

edit: I read your post below...all is well. I just didn't want missundestandings.

[Thestranger]

You're right,

look I'm not going to change my statement however I will appolagize if anyone feels I have been a bit over confident. (I've reread my thread and realised it was a bit arogant srr about that)
Look I don't underestimate anyone and respect everyone. Everyone his own oppinion I just told you how I feel about it and what I will do in such a situation.
So please don't take it personaly and let's drop it ok.

[Canada_Dry]
