Now is the time to put new links under DF: Black Hawk Down Downloads like MODS or Terrains

[Hellfighter]

Keep in mind Nova was thinking using some of these maps in there Stats server those have to be the stander items in the maps for them to use, so if you make a spec mod type map make a note of it inside the zip file you upload ok.

It has tutotirals but it wont teach you 3d max and all. Ive got a basic understanding of it but if you dont youll have to teach yourself.

Yeah I agree this isnt as easy as alot of people think. first theres already problems with people using max6 , apparently versions 3-5 are the ones to use. I dont know if this is true , but it wouldnt surprise me. Second now people can see what it actually takes to model video games. Its not easy , even though alot of the stuff in BHD and TS could be alot better. Case in point look at the weapons they spent alot more time and detail on the game weapons then they did on any other part of the game.

[Sgt HunteR]

Why are you aganst mods, you were so happy when EXP was released ''BigDood''
Made around 5 maps per day lol

[Hellfighter]

will if a group of players work on a mod together they come out with a whole new look to it. its been done check out other players who play BF 1942 Mods they play Star wars in it on top of the its going out in a new way to boot like landing on new planets they redoing it up. there so many ways you can go with DFBHD Eng its not funny you all have a tool to take it to a whole new level so you have to relrean it all. its not bad hell its super great almost like making up a whole new game.

[Hellfighter]

to bad we could never do this with DF 1 & DF2 will it would have been nice back then.

[bigsmellyfart]

yes...yes.... yes.... all i hear is yess......
but you dont know what your talkin
about cause what you dont realize is FOR THE
MOD TOOLS 2 B ANY GUD YOU MUST HAVE
3DS MAX and its a whopppppiiiiinnnnnn.....!!!
$3500.00 and i dont know whats missin cause i have the demo version and created a .max file and the object editor
cud not see it or import it... What NOVA NEEDS 2 Do is
port it to gmax instead od 3ds max cause gmax is free
they really need to make a real object editor
and market it for say $30.00 that would give them funding to do it and the df community a real tool to work with.
what say you all...so say we all?

[ATINOF Jok3r]

it dont work with 3dsmax 6.

an i aint binning over 3,000 worth of software (my boss 'd kill me )
