What started you Modding?

[Cobra {sfx}]

Was just thinkin back to what got me into the modding scene as a lot of peeps ask.

   

   I used to run a clan {6th Airborne} (even had nice Para Skins made ) - i also remember long obj matches, cheats started appearing, same old boring routine etc (gets tedious doin same maps after 2 yrs), and i came across a Battle Server Mod and ran it on our server, - i think it was this mod that was responsible for getting me into modding once i seen what was possible, who the original maker was im not sure as it was passed to me by a guy who said he made it - i found out later that would have been impossible as he couldnt script, (obviously edited the script writers name).

   

   Anyway - whoever you were that made that Tank drive around Dest Village/the Bombing Stukas / etc - YOUR TO BLAME

M8 I think your talking about bluebrooks......

   He got me too......

You could be right because i came across another mod similar that had that name in - wasnt sure if it was another script edit tho

[GiffE1118]

hehe that was the first mod i ever installed then i think i emailed him to ditch the dogs for me and he did.

   

   ithink we all remember the dark days where u just start playing and u decide to start a clan. u have 2 members, a free hosted webby, and now server. LOL im suprised my made it. the new server really does al the work now. made us go from 17 members to 35+

   

   yesterday i was looking through all my old files. and came acros my first atempt to mod using cobras sp-mp tutorial. Around march i did that. was just a bundle of errors. :p

   

   my story is:

   started around march of this year. i played on those maps, then i wanted to find them and ended up here some how, i never posted just read. and there was only around 14 pages of topics in the scripting section. i tried doing the tut that cobra had. sorta got it to work. tried tons of maps each only hardly worked. then started to try and find out how to do stuff. landed over at tmt which then taught me a hell of alot, i forgot about mru, and came back.  

   

   here was my first atempt:

[Cobra {sfx}]

I dont remember my first mod but i know the Jet-Pack mod was a very important one ... i was introduced to Viciouss, he said if you can make a Jet-pack mod ill make a website, i made the mod and he made the webby, my dept was creating {sfx} - ( The onsite Modding guys ), Vics was to run the webby, turned out rather well

[Elgan {sfx}]

first mod was the tutorial on Bjarnes website for firing flak88. then i made a airstrike mod, then some spline planes, then some binox that spawned explosions, then some map and boat and thenflyable planes.

   

   was just looking at mods to put in me server, lookin at tmt, then talking to scorpio midget and he was doing things to me in his server, so then i was tlkin to bjarne who helped me learn to mod, explained it all to me, read his tutorial...didnt understand, came bk years later, tlking to bjarne again as he was on msn, did more tutorial and then i was testin mic on ts2 with mru ip on thi site and then they are like hello elgan, u sound pretty. They paid me 1000 million and i stuck arround,

[Cobra {sfx}]

Haha ok i wont tell anyone all that begging you did
