Tripwire Interactive Forums
I had this idea and I feel it is good enough to share on the forums.
I would like to see modders get together and work on this thing I will call "a new front toolkit". I will use the African Front as an example to explain what I mean.
Included in one large file would be the following:
- British, American, Australian, German, and Italian skins (sorry if I forgot someone)
- new weapons
- new vehicles
- new decorations (trees, plants, buildings)
- new voice commands
- new textures
Basically, all the files needed for a mapper to make a map that is in the North African Front. My key selling point is this: One could run an North Africa map and vote a ROO stock map without having to restart the server. The draw back with full fledged mods is that you cannot switch between the stock game and the mod instantaneously.
A "new front toolkit" would open up and new world of creativity. If you play a mod, you are limited to the maps created by the mod makers.
Well, I threw the idea out there. How do you feel about it?
