Forgive me if I summarized, but you aren't helping yourself, here. I was arguing that it would take time to make even a small mod that only introduces a few new weapons or vehicles, and you're pointing out that it is more complex and would thus take longer than what I had originally said.

Oh, apologies.
Well then, you must have missed the "significantly affects gameplay in some way" part of Rasq's definition of a mod.

1. I was pointing out that making a completely new weapon is that hard. If I do anything to the gun and put it in-game it's a mod.Rotaretilbo wrote:Angatar wrote:Actually you need to model it, unwrap it, create the texture, apply it, animate it, export it, tag it.

2. It doesn't need to significantly affect gameplay at all. I can change the Assualt Rifle model into the SMG one and it's a mod.

Which, as I already said, isn't helping your case. I'm the one arguing that modding is hard.

But it would be so only in name. A true mod adds content that significantly affects gameplay in some way. If you're going to hide behind the technical definition of modification, then this argument is over.
Re: R&D HL2 Mod
Eh shut up. I typed it early in the morning and made a mistake by leaving out my argument. Basically, all I have to do is make a mod is open the weapon file, change a value by smashing my keyboard, then placing and importing it ingame. Not that hard.Rotaretilbo wrote:Angatar wrote:1.

So because I'm arguing what's right, I'm wrong? lolwut?Rotaretilbo wrote:Angatar wrote:2. It doesn't need to significantly affect gameplay at all. I can change the Assualt Rifle model into the SMG one and it's a mod.

Re: R&D HL2 Mod
You're hiding behind a technical definition because you know you're wrong.
On page 2, we had agreed to define mods as above. You know what I mean when I say mod, but you can't refute my points unless you use a different definition.

Your original argument was to suggest that mods were easy to make, implying that Research and Development was not difficult to make. You knew clearly, at that time, what I was talking about when I used the word mod. You didn't start arguing the technicality until it became apparent that you were wrong.
Angatar wrote:And you can't refute mine unless you use your definition.
I don't have to refute yours, Angatar, because by hiding behind that technical definition, any point you've made about how Half-Life is not better than Halo due to moddability is void. I know what I'm talking about when I say mod, you know what I'm talking about when I say mod, and everyone else knows what I'm talking about when I say mod, so, as I said, this argument is over.
