Looking really nice, btw is this book of yours will focus mostly on coding (I hope not), or on modding in general?--[[User:RP|RP]] 17:41, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT) | Looking really nice, btw is this book of yours will focus mostly on coding (I hope not), or on modding in general?--[[User:RP|RP]] 17:41, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT) | ||
The book will cover all aspects. It's a bit daunting to do a book that covers it all, but it will go into coding of entities, weapon modifications, game customization, mapping, prop model making, weapon modelling, etc. The main thing I want to do is get people to actually do stuff - even if it's just make a cube in XSI and create a "crate" prop model with it, or add a bit of code to the RPG so when the crate missile explodes, it spews wood gibs. --[[User:Holtt|Holtt]] 10:30, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT) | :The book will cover all aspects.

To make it even more 'fun', you could name the manufacturers of the crates "Crates Corp." and the one of the barrels "Barrels 2 Build", or something like that :-) --[[User:CrabbyData|CrabbyData]] 01:22, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT) | To make it even more 'fun', you could name the manufacturers of the crates "Crates Corp." and the one of the barrels "Barrels 2 Build", or something like that :-) --[[User:CrabbyData|CrabbyData]] 01:22, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT) | ||
Heheh yes I have some company names in the design document for the mod that the book follows. I don't have the latest draft handy (I'll put something up when I get home), but it's something like "Crates International" and "Barrels Incorporated, LLC" It's all about domination and control of the prop market in virtual worlds - will it be crates, or barrels? --[[User:Holtt|Holtt]] 11:04, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT) | :Heheh yes I have some company names in the design document for the mod that the book follows.

- The book will cover all aspects. It's a bit daunting to do a book that covers it all, but it will go into coding of entities, weapon modifications, game customization, mapping, prop model making, weapon modelling, etc. The main thing I want to do is get people to actually do stuff - even if it's just make a cube in XSI and create a "crate" prop model with it, or add a bit of code to the RPG so when the crate missile explodes, it spews wood gibs. --Holtt 10:30, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Tip on industry names
To make it even more 'fun', you could name the manufacturers of the crates "Crates Corp." and the one of the barrels "Barrels 2 Build", or something like that :-) --CrabbyData 01:22, 5 Jun 2006 (PDT)
