lrr144 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hi, I have a question!, If i wanted to make a mod; how would i do it, and what programs would i need start to finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, you would first need EM4 of course. Then:EM4 Editor (which comes standard)Zmodeler2Any good image editing program (Paint.NET, Photoshop, etc.)Notepad (should come standard with your computer)DDS Converter 2That should get you through most modding. As for doing it, there are a multitude of tutorials on this forum and then for the programs that aren't covered searching around on Google would fix that.Hope this helps.

Xplorer4x4 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I suggest notepad2 rather then standard notepad. It was designed with coding/scripting in mind and numbers each line for quick trouble shooting when you get a script error that references a line number. dds converter isnt needed in paint.net,photoshop(if you use the nvidia dds plug in) and I think Gimp supports DDS out of the box.

Ami89E1234 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 DDS Converter helps with the proper conversion of unlocked/changed .dds files. Just get it; it's free and lightweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer123246 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Wow that's alot of ****... Would I need the same stuff just to make a new piece of equipment? I was wanting to make an arrow-light... Like so:I wanted to make a script to have cars to go in the other lane to travel. I know this has been broughten up before, but I wanted to know how to do it. Even if I can't make a script for the cars, I still would like to make it as a decoration on the road; for a construction site.Could I use AutoCad to make it?-not that I could, I was wondering...

Ami89E1234 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Zmodeler2 is also a 3D Modeling program. Get it (it's free but to get things for EM4 you'll need to register it for $60). Then you'll need to make a skin and UV Map the model and add it ingame. What you could do, in a mission or so, is just edit the path right in front of it so cars cross lanes.

randomperson139 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Off topic: I thought I used stuff not... yeah@Ami: What are some things that I need to register for?You need to register it so you can export your models in the format that the game uses (which is .v3o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tian318 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 You need to register it so you can export your models in the format that the game uses (which is .v3o) Export = Import.An unregistered version can export, but to import you need to pay the 60$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
