Elder scrolls mod:Elder scrolls:The first Era

[War lord]

Alright I need anyone who can do anything for an Elder scrolls mod.

I know these things always fail but I am the sort of Angry SOB who can force you to stay on.

So if you can do anything at all please tell me and I will let you know if your in(And unlike SOME mod teams I will not stalk you beforehand).

[DaLeGiOnArY]

I admire your temper and ability to get pissed off and report anything that annoys you.
Anyway...
It's been tried lots of times before and it failed no matter what. By the way, that's one hell of a descriptive first post. What part of ES do you wanna do? What parts of it do you want to implement?
OH, and btw...


Edit:
I just realized someone else edited your post. Hmm. Methinks you got too angry?

interesting...

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Do you have any modding skills? If so, best of luck.

[wlesmana]

This mod is going places because everyone knows modders love leaders who can't do any modding but uses an iron fist to force them to work!

No I can't create skins or code AI but there is maybe 3 people on Total war center who knnow more about TES Lore then me.

EDIT:.D.R. Agreed to be Co. Leader A while ago I sent him a P.M to see if he is still in.

so thats two kids who can research. Good start.
There have been so many attempts at this type of mod, and all have failed. There were about 5 i believe in the past year and a half. In order to pull this off you are going to need a very experienced team, and i dont mean researchers.

I will be checking this thread often to see if this works. I have to be honest though, it would be quite a shock.

[wlesmana]

You wouldn't need an experienced team, really. You're not modding the core gameplay such as, say, Napoleon TW, which will require in-depth knowledge on how formations and behavior files work. The basic is still just dudes bashing each other with pointy sticks. Most of the things you will need to modify are just cosmetics, especially since most units would be humanoid (otherwise you'd need an animator, who are rarer than modelers).

But like any other mod, especially a close-to total conversion such as this, it requires someone to pick up the bulk of the workload, instead of just "leaders" or "researchers" waiting for someone to do that.

[wlesmana]

You don't need to be able to skin or model to do a mod. Do the campaign map first. It only requires knowledge of a paint program like photoshop or GIMP. You don't need fancy models to show a working mod. Just do placeholder models, use vanilla Romans as the imperial dudes (or whoever, I don't know TES lore). You set up the EDU, DMB and EDB. Those only requires you to edit text files. Make the campaign map working, set up the foundations. Models and such are just flavoring. They're only visuals.

If your first response to all this is "I don't have time to learn all this stuff! I'll just recruit someone to do it!" then you have no business starting a mod. As a leader, or co-leader or whatever, it is your responsibility to know what to mod, the working engine behind the scenes. I was an IT manager and I didn't do coding, instead I managed a bunch of programmers. I do, however, have knowledge and background of coding. If I didn't, my programmers would not respect me and I would not understand what they're talking about.

Also, historians/researchers are not that important in the creation of a mod. They're important to the lore accuracy but they're not the backbone of the modding team. Mods can be finished without historians, even with spotty accuracy. However, historians will never complete a mod alone.

[DaLeGiOnArY]

No I can't create skins

Kinda falls in the same category buddy.

[Comrade the Colonel]

The reason why most mods fail, such as this one, is because the proposer has little to no skills at all. I can guarantee you that if all you can bring to the table is research, you wont be attracting people who can do more. Its a hard lesson to learn, but its necessary.

I have seen too many elder scroll mods fail, and i hope that i wont see another. Anyways, good luck with this.

First this is dead second Hideo Kojima can't program yet he is the directior of MG and MGS.
Third P.A. I have no time to deal with you or your petty grudges.

[wlesmana]

Hideo Kojima can't program yet he is the directior of MG and MGS.

Hideo Kojima got his company to pay for professional game developers. If you pay me the same salary as programmers making MGS to develop your mod, you can yell and force me to work as much as you want. I'll even call you Mr. Kojima-sama-hime if the price is right.

Plesae point out where i posted with a petty grudge. I guess this one has joined the ranks of the other fallen.
I am sure Hideo Kojima has leadership skills, something that is very useful, yet hard to find.

For instance he doen't carry childlike grudges.

[Legio]

Kay, if the mod is dead I can close it, but don't continue it with personal stuff.

[Lord Dakier]

I hate to not be the first one to say this but, your sitting on a pre-detonated bomb which in a day or two will go off.

Like Wles says a leader requires the ability to do skinning as such, which is why I am trying to workout how photoshop and 3DS Max both work lol.

[CAPTAIN LOKI]

for starters why not create your own modfolder
