For the Community by the Community
Terranova Productions will be sponsoring a new mod for
Black Hawk Down/Team Sabre and eventually Joint Operations. Right
now our main focus will be directed at DF:BHD/TS. However with
the release of Joint Ops right around the corner we will definitely
be heading that way.
We have put a lot of time into BHD and so has the rest of the
community. With the release of the MOD Tools there are many people
finding skills they never knew they had. Now anyone can create
objects for BHD which has opened a door for all of us. In a few
short months we have seen people create some impressive stuff.
From conversions to a simple object, the community has been overflowing
with creativity.
The problem we foresee is most of the small, one-person MODs
will be over looked and it will be hard to get a large amount
of people to recognize them. Someone that creates his or her first
building or a small team of dedicated MODDERS deserves to have
their hard work and dedication published no matter how great or
small. Unfortunately this is not always the case within our community.
If it isn’t large enough with tons of new enhancements, the MOD
in most cases will be over looked and all the hard work people
put into it will be lost.
We are hoping with a joint effort, the DF community along with
Terranova can create a MOD the entire community will be involved
in. There is a good bit of work involved in producing a public
MOD. It could take months for a modder to get his or her MOD completed
and packaged for public use. Terranova has the tools and know
how to make these things a lot easier and more then willing to
help the community out with these MODs. If everyone gets together
as a team its guaranteed there work will be published and more
then a few people will play it.
Terranova is inviting the public to submit any new models, skins
or terrains for this project. Models from any historical period
are welcomed. Within reason, pretty much anything will be accepted.
Terrains, Foliage, Buildings, Vehicles and Decorations are going
to be the main focus. This is not a weapons MOD although we will
accept some weapons for this project it is not something we are
going to put a lot of time into. We will be replacing the current
weapons, but due to the fact the game will only allow a set number
of weapon entries our hands are tied. So adding more weapons is
not an option.
If a submitter wishes to become part of the Terranova crew this
mod would be the best opportunity to prove they have what Terranova
is looking for. To build a strong modding team that will have
experience working together when Joint Ops and the Joint Ops tools
are released. Our ultimate goal is to get a team of people together
for future Terranova products when we decide to make our own game.
Terranova will provide a private Ventrilo or a Team Speak server
and try to give as much support we can. Anyone that wants to get
involved with this MOD is welcome to join the server. We are hoping
the server will become a meeting place for modders to work together
for a finer product and a place for us to learn and share knowledge.
This is a project for the entire community to get involved in
so spread the word and lets make the best mod the Delta Force
community has seen!
