Some computer games have become popular only due to the efforts of fans and their irresistible desire to improve their favorite multimedia product. Every gamer sooner or later comes up with a thought or idea on how to improve this or that game. This is how mods are created.
Instructions
Step 1
Check the internet for mods to make a mod. First of all, this is necessary in order to find out how the structure of the game is susceptible to changes. Source is a prime example. Look on the Internet - it has over a thousand amateur modifications, because its engine, so to speak, is very "friendly" and absorbs all the add-ons without any problems, unlike the Bioshok game engine, to which there are only a few add-ons today.
Step 2
Use the game developer's editor to create a mod. In this case, you will have no problems adapting the add-on, since it will be created on the same engine as the original game. The most striking and powerful example of an editor is the map editor for Warcraft 3. It allows any gamer to show all his imagination, does not limit his possibilities.
Step 3
Launch the editor and start creating. Don't be discouraged if there is no official tool. It is possible that there is an unofficial one. Search the internet - it is possible that you will find something worthwhile.
Step 4
Use the 3d Max program to create a model for the mod. First of all, make sure that the given model is compatible with the game. Then, in order for the game to use your add-on, simply replace the original file with the new one. Give it the same name so you don't have to adjust the file path.
Step 5
Also, if you create an add-on with the help of the editor, look through the gaming forums. Perhaps you will find useful tips there that will open you up to new features of the standard editor that were previously hidden from your keen eye. It will be useful to watch a video tutorial on creating new characters and locations. Don't forget to regularly look for additions to the standard editor. They may be helpful to you.
