Planetside Mod-Wanting to get started.

[Moz3ltov]

Me and a few buddys are planning on making a planetside mod. If you havent heard of planetside, which would suprise me, its here (http://planetside.station.sony.com/).

Right now its just about three of us planning and just getting started. We should have a site soon. I can map and model. My friend can texture, is learning to skin and model and the third one, who is unconfirmed on joining can draw concept art.

Right now we are looking for:
Modelers
Skinners
Sound Artists
Coders
Level Designers


We are very serious about this mod and are looking for others who would like to make an excellent mod.

If you would like to join the team please contact me at psmod@moz3ltov.com

I notice that a lot of people on these forums just want to add in more warhammer characters, which I don't really know too much about, but i love this game. Those that are interested in that, that's fine.

This mod is different than all the others. It takes an fps game that is already balanced between empires and moves it to an exciting rts. We plan to have all weapons, vehicles, aircraft, armor and buildings from the actual game. Plus some more units/buildings that are being planned or cancelled. We will have a few maps per continent from the game and some of the upcoming battle islands. This mod is surely going to be great.

This is a TOTAL CONVERSION mod and, from what I've seen, the first one planned. Please, if you have any questions or would like to join send an e-mail to this address:

It would be much easier to get people to join if you showed some of the work you have done for the mod. If you announce a mod, show no work, and ask for help, people may think that you can't do it, and want them to build your mod for you.

[Moz3ltov]

good point, but ive just posted this because we just started and would like more people to join. we are in no way asking people to make a mod for us. with just two people and the game not out yet it is hard to get much content to show people anyway. concept art isnt really needed except for the content in the real game that isnt out yet or units that we might add ourselves, but those come much later. well to show you a taste i will post a pic of the vanguard tank(WIP) later on tonight after i finish the turret.

'til then cheers.

[Moz3ltov]

well here it is, the first model for the planetside mod. remember its still a WIP and these screens are just from inside 3ds. the skin comes later, when we have a sufficient amount of models and work. the splash is on there because ive known people who have had bad luck with that kind of problems on other forums, and its a mod. no official mod splash/logo yet :/

this is the vanguard tank:

hopefully this gives you a small taste of the mod and encourages some to hop on the team. :D

btw, sorry for low res users if you have to scroll over :P

Nice!

I love Planetside, just the monthly fee doesn't appeal to me :)

Good luck with that.

[Lupo]

Heh sorry i dont have much skills with modellling, skinning etc, but have played planetside for over a year till i slowed down about a month ago, if you ever want a second opinion on anything game related, im very willing to offer it.

[Strangefate]

I'd make sure to have Sony's permission to make a mod based on their IP, rather than risking being shut down after having done quite some work.

[Moz3ltov]

Thanks for the compliment Richtofen. Lupo, that would be great if you could tell us how we are doing or have an extra opinion. Perhaps even a tester when the time comes.

yes, that was the first thing we thought of. i have emailed sony and asked them for permission to use their content. today i received an email back redirecting me to public relations. the letter to them should be going out today. i don't doubt that we will get permission, but we have to ask.

i just wish they had an email address instead of the old-fashioned way :p

[TheBladeRoden]

where'd you Vanguard pic go?

Oh there it is. n/m

[Richtofen]

I played Vanu, nice shiny purple armour and hover tanks... mmmm.

Plus Prowler looks like a remote controlled car.

[Moz3ltov]

hmm, i thought i just posted but it didnt show up...oh well, what i said was.

vanu are awesome, thats who i am now. i used to be NC, and they look the best.
btw, check out these new vehicles for PS, http://planetside.station.sony.com/common/images/img_view.jsp?img=5&collection=planetside_screenshots (keep pressing next) we hope to include all those mechs.

I don't understand how u can mod an MMO. Can u play planetside on a lan or something?
And u never said what ur trying to make with the mod.

[TheBladeRoden]

he's not. He's modding DOW with Planetside vehicles and units

[Richtofen]

Planetside is an RTS where you play as a soldier.
It even has drop pods :)

[Moz3ltov]

yeah green bean. were taking planetside units, buildings, vehicles etc. and transferring them over to the rts genre.


Planetside is an RTS where you play as a soldier.
hehe, its actually a mix of many games. so i guess you could call it an MMOFPSRPGRTS :p.

[Richtofen]

I think you can fit action in there too. And turn based strategy as well, you sometimes have to wait your turn to get a vehicle.

[PaulRPG]

Lo, me and some Terran Wernerians had exactly the same idea with a ps mod, the engine obviously can handle it. I am still currently active in Planetside with my Wernian m8s.

[dazzaw17]

I also play planetside on werner and ps would make a good rts imo, good luck with this :), i hope you get all the help you need to get it done
