Lauriel Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Well, the answer to that is probably 'yes', but seriously! WTH?! I'm not even finished with my first mod and I already have a list of 5 more that I 'just need!' to do. I can't say I wasn't warned (thank you @jastey). If you haven't started modding, run - just run. Don't look back... IT IS SO MUCH FUN! It can be so frustrating to start a new development environment - but I've been at this for over 40 years...I've adapted...a few BAZILLION times. I've never felt so STUPID in my life. It is SO COOL! Anyway, I just wanted to share my joy and frustration and warn off anyone sitting on the fence. You've been warned. Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I am at IE modding for 15 years now. But this year, I'll finish all my remaining ideas! I will! Surely! Quote Link to comment

Jarno Mikkola Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yeah, and you should prepare to make your own megamod compilation... been at it, and moding the last 14 years and haven't left SoA chapter 3 ever after. Quote Link to comment

OH NO! I didn't even think of that! I don't want to be stuck in SoD for the rest of my life. It's my least favorite part! Which is why I come up with more ideas to improve it, I suppose. Good thing I have a couple things I want to change in SoA, too. That would have been depressing! Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Prepare for the times where you know almost everything of the game(s) - but from reading the ressources, not from experiencing it while playing. Where you start thinking in internal file names when referring to game characters and ares. Where sentences like "Why is the install failing at all and not just printing the ~WARNING: could not find %textToReplace% in %SOURCE_FILESPEC%~ line in my first case?" seem completely normal to you!

ithildurnew Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Too funny. All you modders, thank you for all your hard work that others get to enjoy. Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 @ithildurnew Thank you and all players who play the mods, report about them, and even state they've enjoyed them! I mean, how awkward would it be to have so much fun modding the games with noone actually playing the mods! Quote Link to comment

It is more fun to know someone else might enjoy what you do, but I gotta admit, I'm doing this for me. If other's have fun, that's icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment
