A world war one mod

just download the editor press "Make map" and its done....it will randomly select well fitting textures static meshes and all the other stuff.

Seriously though it take most *good* mappers about 2 months on about 3-4 hours a DAY. Take a look at the SDK its not that simple.

On the other hand im being mean and not encouraging you so im gona say stick with it, start small and get a bunch of tutorials . You'll soon find yourself up there with the elite if you really apply yourself.

are any website services free? i might make one to plan out my ideas
Yeah, but it's much better paying 25 euros once and maybe 20 euros annually.

You'll get way more.
It's often what makes mods successful. By getting a community, and getting a community can only be done by a descent website with forum.
static warfare. trenches. artillery. :eek:
Yes, one could imagine.

But nobody has the guts to do it. :(

Thanks for the advice:) im thinking about the battle of the somme and verdun for some of the areas of the mod if i decide to got with the mod plan, but i think i will write down some concepts of the mod first
What you need is a design document, concept art and a website. ;)

The other stuff will automatically follow.

I've been working on a WW1 RTS on and off for a few months now, so I've found a few good sites in the process.

Information on armoured cars used in WW1 (how many made etc..)
http://wio.ru/tank/ww1ba.htm
General WW1 site with loads of info on most areas of WW1, battles, weapons and all that fun stuff.
http://www.firstworldwar.com/
Just a page with links to different areas of the war.
http://www.wfa-usa.org/new/links.cfm
A rather large forum, alot of it seems to be on units in what battles and the like
http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?
Color photos on most uniforms
http://www.xs4all.nl/~aur/layout/frames.htm?Hardware/Hardware7.htm
Weapon links
http://www.lkwdpl.org/lhs/WWI/
And artillery, infomration on guns used by most nations, very good site
http://www.landships.freeservers.com/new_pages/artillery.htm

Thats about all I have.
I might help out, since things are slow with my game (only 1 other person woriknig on it). I just doubt I'll be a full time member.
I can do modelling, tanks, weapons, buildings are fine, just not good with making people.
Game design I can help with to.

Get a site going and get this thing going, I would, and im sure many others here would love to see a WW1 mod.

And we need gas attacks, so you have to put on your gas mask, and you can only see through the goggles. So much stuff that can be done...

Edit- And rifle grenades!!

We already have Basovka. :p
Yeah, but that's just ... Basovka... :\
very good idea, i will be able to make a phpbb forum seeing a its free. and i will research the stuff on wikipedia(and other good websites)
Well, if you can afford I'd try to get a domain and webspace. It's basically one time payment for the domain (varies from 15 to 25 dollars) and then you have annual payment for the space.

It's really cheap if you look at it from a clear perspective.

Then you simply download phpBB2 and extract the folder on the webspace, install it through your domainaddress /phpbb2/ and you are set. ;)

Will this be a total conversion, or a mod for just a few maps?

Somme- British on the ofensive (French to) Germans heavily fortified with lots of artillery raining down on them, though not accurate.

Don't know much on Verdun though, I could look some stuff up if you want.

I could also bring up a list of weapons (basicly cut and paste from my game) Though well have to fugure out waht countries are in, and the more general stuff.
