Do I lose much if I keep the old version? The one I downloaded two days ago?

[icelus]

No, only what's listed above in "New Additions." You may experience the annoying "pants" bug, however.

This is a bit off-topic, but it's as good a place as any to post this: I'm currently going through Spellhold for the first time since installing UB and am really enjoying the cat & mouse game with Bodhi. It adds a great element to the game - never know when she'll pop up.

Same here, it's very exciting

Icelus,
i'm very interesting in make games. I know the basics steps to make a game, but i'd started to make a game a cople of times, and stop a few time after.

Please, aswer me...
how does a mod works...? programming, graphics, this kind of things.

Thanks.

Gardner, modding a game is a very different process to making a game. It is simpler, and more limited. To make a game, you first need to know how to program - if you don't, look at Python or BASIC as 'beggining' languages, and once you have a good handle on one of them, progress your way up to something more advanced - C and C++ are the industry standards. Then, come up with a good idea for a game, figure out how to code it, and code it. If you're working in a large team like basically all game developers do, it will take you around 2 - 3 years to finish. Unless ofcourse you want to make a relatively large game.

If you're interested in modding a game - or, more specifically, modding this game, have a look around www.weidu.org , http://forums.giberlings3.net , http://forums.pocketplane.net , www.teambg.net , and http://forums.forgottenwars.net for tutorials - especially ones to do with WeiDU. Also you will need an idea to work on. If you read through these and feel confident you can mod, but can't think of anything to do, PM me and I'll try to help.

If you're interested in modding another game - for example, Warcraft 3, Neverwinter Nights, Total Anihalation, or Morrowind, poke round communities and sites that deal with modding those games, and see what they can tell you.

Lennon like i said, i'd started a cople of times, programming is not a problem, i know a litte bit of some languages and learn something new is more fun that work. We're using directdraw to our little games, so i know something about this one too.
Thanks a lot for the tips and sites, i'll try to read then and maybe i do something.


Thanks again.
