Official Game Modding Thread

Who here mods games? I mod Halo PC the most, although I've given Call of Duty a crack, Halo's for me. Still waiting for the SDK to come out though :(

If you're wondering how to start modding, I'm sure people would be more than helpful here :)

[McGuffin]

Depends on what game you're looking to mod. (-:

ok.. say I want to start modding Halo, are there any ressource sites?

What exactly can be modded in Halo? Everything? Are there map apps out there? :beam:

I've modded Operation Flashpoint a while ago, but it was more like..scripting in Notepad. It was fun, the while it lasted... :sure:

All great. Check www.halomods.com for some great apps, make sure if you're going to start to have Halo Map Tools 3, Sparkedit 2.5, and a ppf applier (to apply mods) Post any questions regarding modding it here, I know most of what there is to know. The SDK is coming out soon, which will make all these other programs almost obsolete. Gearbox's site (the developer of the game, and the first link is to their forums) was upgrading their servers in the past couple of days, and the sites down again, so it looks like they're getting ready to release it.

Yes, real modding is pretty much 90% programming.
