  2. Where i can find extensive tutorial about how to make a map or mod for W:ET?
  3. What is the newest version of W:ET? Is it 2.60 or 2.60b?

Thank you for answering my questions

Well best tutorial site in WET mapping is http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial.htm i guess.

And i think 2.60b is newest and you can play ETpro too with it.

I would suggest using EasyGen for your terrain mapping, then save and import into your gtkradiant. :slight_smile:

*gg making a total conversation is very much work - what kind do you want to do?
maybe you find some help here -
but you need to know how to make maps
textures
models
scripts
and if you want to change the gameplay - some experience in coding with c :wink:
but some more information about your dream could help others…

Well, it kinda hard to tell because i want to keep it as a secret, but it’s okay if it’s necessary. I want to make a mod based on Naruto, but not just a conversion. I will make a Naruto Modern Warfare, good title eh. Ha ha ha, that’s what i want to make for W:ET.

idea stealer (6)

(maggol) #10

I think if someone steal this idea from me, the way he executed this idea will be different from what i dreamed for. And maybe it can be a major moral boost for me to finish this mod.

Hoi, everyone. I have GTKRadiant, Mapzone, ET SDK, Easy Gen and Q3 model tool. Does i ready to make a mod?

(twt_thunder) #12

no… you need microsoft visual c

(ailmanki) #13

Depends… maybe you can do the changes it needs with Lua …

If for example you want to make players to be able to fly… it needs a mod.

(ischbinz) #14

you need a tool for making playermodels - think you want to change them.
i use milkshape - 29€
and lightray - 79€

other pr0 softwars is too expensive
maybe one open sourde model tool supports mdm/mdx files too - but dunno if/which

For setting up for modding check the sticky compiling a mod under windows :wink:

(twt_thunder) #16

well…since you’re a SD member…you might tell us what tool to use :smiley:

(shagileo) #17

He’s a SD forum member, not really a staff member, if that’s what you meant.

(kamikazee) #18

I think the “SD update” avatars will need some reworking, or a disclaimer.

(maggol) #19

BTW, what maximum size of map do W:ET support?

(.Chris.) #20

How long is peice of string?

There are load of different limitations that will affect how large or how detailed your map can be, think there is a list of them somewhere.
