[Talk] Don't stop developing Expansion Pack

Well, I just saw the topic now but i have to leave my little contribution.
@DzjengisKhan, your mod is basically AWESOME, is the only mod that EVERYONE plays with, you are like the, Leonardo Da Vinci of GDT modding, you are the star, I think that every mod producer in this forum is inspired by you. And Make sure that if you launch a new mod, or simply start updating your Expansion Pack, everyone will be super happy to help you with any issues you have, images, reporting bugs, or helping you from a code stealer.

Well, about Veonomous, we talk about him in 2287

May I suggest that heā€™s more like the Leonardo Da Vinci instead Di Caprio? :smiley:

Anyway hereā€™s also my 2 cents:

  • 1Ā° cent: since you are one of the first modders, you have a sort of automatic ā€œpriviledgeā€ within modders community
  • 2Ā° cent: about code stealing: this technology (html, css, js) is made as is, open and plain. The same creators of GDT had the same discussion when making this game and releasing the source code at the same time, and this is why we had the chance to learn to mod that fast. Anyway, as @alphabit said, people will feel the difference between quantity and quality, so that means you have a huge advantage on everyone else.

I agree, with the Da Vinci thing, editing my post now

Alright guys youā€™ve converterd me :smiley:
I might get back into modding since I have 2 nice ideas:

  • Custom genres
  • Something like a youtube system

Iā€™m going to play around with some code first so I canā€™t promise anything :slight_smile:

And thanks for everyone posting in this topic (and say something nice :stuck_out_tongue:). Itā€™s awesome to have such epic fans :smiley:

Yeah! Iā€™m waiting anxious for it @DzjengisKhan

Thanks Patrick,

I was actually planning on adding the new weighting by using the 4th option you recommended. Since I already made the basics of it when I was experimenting on the moreRealism mod. :smiley:

@KizzaGaming Donā€™t be so creepy :stuck_out_tongue: You should have called him a ā€œliving legendā€ :wink: U know, legends are usually long time gone!

Hmm alright, custom genres is done. Except for 1 quiet anoying bug: you donā€™t get any tech/design points when creating a game with the genre :stuck_out_tongue:

Just out of curiosity what ideas do you have for Genreā€™s? Cause I personally thought they were all pretty well defined >_> I made a topic suggesting adding in a new section called themes. This way some topics can go to themes like medieval fantasy, military. then you make topics like beatā€™em up and first person shooter. I made a thread with my idea.

here it is if you want to read it. I was thinking of modding it myself but it would take forever since I never used javascript before. With you being the legend, if you donā€™t think it is possible or too time consuming for you then what chance do I have?

The first genre that Iā€™m going to add will be Platformer.
After I get that one working Iā€™ll see what else I can add ^^

Wow didnā€™t think of platformer as a genreā€¦gues I just lumped it up with casual >_> So how are you gonna balance it out? I take it is gonna be more design heavy. Hmmm what could be another tech genre? Is platform gonna be the only Genre you add?

Idea: Add Turn-Based to genres

Thats a section of strategy

Yes, it is. I didnā€™t thought that sorry

Hey @PatrickKlug, I donā€™t know if Iā€™m doing something wrong but I found something really weird:

While adding a new genreWeighting I noticed that .splice is not working for the platforms. But hereā€™s the weird thing: using .splice is working for everything else. For topics and the stage missions.

Is this a known thing?? And could you or anyone else (like @alphabit/ @SirEverard / @kristof1104)

Thanks in advance :smiley:
