I'm not saying that reskinning is not part of modding. I talked about the fact that the conditions should be more demanding than having five mods and activity within two months. With such conditions as now, being able to do just reskin, anyone can easily get a different color and be part of this group. Pace with time , the forum will inhabit most of the members with the green color that will be the norm like as for an ordinary member with the usual color. And what 's the point of all this ideas? No! There will be many people around who get the green color (which means that you can ask for help and learn about modding). I come to you and ask for help at the expense of importing models, working in 3D Max, scripts and other complicated things and you tell me that? Sorry dude, I know how to do just reskin. As a result, I have to talk a lot of people with green nicknames until I find the correct, because the bulk of the color obtained only by reskinnig and more, they know nothing. I'm just saying that then need to give two different colors under the category of modders who are familiar surface and can help in a more simple things and those who know about more complex . Otherwise , this whole idea will not work properly or as I said earlier, to tighten the rules the selection assignments for this special color! I think it's really unfair that you consider 3ds max kind of mods to be the only real way of expressing that a modder deserves his green color. You are dismissing many people who are mainly doing reskins with that argument. If one wants to learn something about 3ds max he needs to ask the right green modder, that's true. But maybe someone wants to learn some neat tricks when doing reskins. In that case they can ask someone with green name who is good at making reskins. To say that in short again: It's inequitable to demand that everyone who wants to be in the modder group needs to have knowledge of 3DS Max. That's nonsense. I agree though, that the required time of membership should be raised to half a year.

I agree though, that the required time of membership should be raised to half a year. You are listening to me , but do not hear . When I talked about modders who know more complex things like 3DS Max, import, scripts and those involved just reskinning, I used it just as an example , maybe it was a little rough . But I did not want to say that those who are able to do just reskinning, do not deserve to get a different color ( I myself do just reskinning modding , therefore it would be foolish of me to deprive myself of this opportunity in the future and to act against itself ). I just shared the idea that maybe, there are different categories of modders on knowledge, they could be given different colors divided into groups. Or is the best option to make conditions tougher for green color. I do not know, half a year of activity and at least 10 mods? Just now, it is too easy, that's what I'm talking about!

Now I see what you mean. I think different categories AND higher requirements are both together the best idea. Half a year or maybe a certain amount of posts? 10 Mods may be a good idea too.

I myself think it is a good idea, I see the points about say reskins, someone could easly make reskins, but not necessarily have the knowledge or skills to 'advise' I have tried some modding, I understand it but do not have the patience sometimes or the capacity to do it enough, the Chris Bar project I did with Evil was me merely learning for example. I know how it works... just don't do it. I tried some other mods so maybe if I release mods... I'm 'eligiable'? I do agree that people like Kernelzilla, EvilLord, packman, -IronSoul- etc should automatically qualify. I just make videos of peoples mods and comment/reply to people that need help :3/ Maybe I should continue my mercs pics and my ORC modding who knows.. But overall I think its a great idea! possibly some tweaking to requirements and such, but eh :3 nice touch!

well that sounds good but i think this is not towards the real modders. I think the real Modders are those who actually did the tools that WE "riggers" use to make our mods come true . So i think They deserve to be in that group then me ^_^ and i would be happy if they were in here helping us out with more and new tools so that we can mod more properly thats what i think ^_^

All those people who provided us with tools and stuff are to be instantly added to the group if you ask me. Again bringing up different categories. Maybe an extra category for those people? Like "Coder" or something similar

I have been on forums and worked on mods in forums where modders have a private area and title... trust me when i say it works... over on the Step Community i am a modder class and have access to descussions member can look at but can't post for work purpose only amongst modders.. There are other forums where they do the same thing with no problems at all, untill it finally get introduced here.. please give this a chance and see how it goes. The benefits. when an author posts in the mod release page it could be an update or progress, you can easily distinguish weather a player has praised the wok or an author has something to show or say in the forums. If a modder needs help from another modder it is hard to know who is member and who is an author, it's nice to have a place to go for this kind of stuff. Projects going, easily done on a mod authors only page, so you can get something going as a group instead of toughing mods out alone. Plus for anyone spending time and hard work making the community happy i think they deserve some sort of title for all the hard work they have done and are going to be doing in future. There are other benefits to this but i can't seem to find any negatives, im sure the admins moderators etc have discussed this through properly before announcing it. And i for one am all too happy to support this idea. Agreed with everything. night Furious, I think your over thinking this just a bit, this is mostly just a way to show our thanks to ALL modders of the community (who fit the criteria), not just the advanced ones or simple reskin ones. Sure some of the modders may not be as good at modding as other modders, but a modder is still a modder and thus a modder group should fit the bill for all of them. The best I can do is to maybe add a custom title under the modder group name to distinguish those such as packman, The Chief, and Felixnew with a "advanced" modder title, but as far as MORE different name colors I don't see a point in it, it would be like a freaken rainbow all around the forum lol. But I do agree with the criteria possibly being upped a bit, such as 10 mods and 6 months join date and activity perhaps? Anything further I think would be kinda unfair to the newer modders who are still taking time out of their day to release mods for our community.
