How to make mods...
I know that modding is really popular nowadays, but I never really understood how to do it. Do I need the PC version of this game to make mods? And if not how do I make mods for my PS2 version?

pc i dont know of any games at all that are mod-able on console

To create mods for a game, you need to have the SDK (source developer kit) or the engine editor which has been used to create the original game. In some PC games, a SDK is released so that users can create mods. That's what Valve did with Half-Life, and it gave birth to a lot of mods, one of them being the infamous Counter-Strike. In the case of the Thing video game, I contacted a developer of the game who agreed to give me an older version of the level editor and engine of the game (by the way, I didn't get your last question in the Thing mod thread).

Are you talking about how I asked if there was a way to make mods for the PS2 version? Because from what you're telling me I guess not. However, I was still wondering if there was a way for mods through a modded PS2.

Sorry, I was a bit confusing here, as I was answering you but my last sentence was for Ryan. I don't think there would be a way to mod a console version of the game, as they are much more "rigid" than the PC version, unfortunately.

Damn. Are there ANY console games that are modable that anyone might know of?

I know some of them with level editors, but I'm afraid that's about it. :?

Damn. Because I have been trying to create mods for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City by inserting the game disc into the computer, but I couldn't find out what to do from there.

That's just impossible this way. :wink: If you don't have the game engine or editor, there is nothing you can do.

Well, I did download this patch from a GTA website that supposedly allows you to replace different items from the game with random objects. But I'm not really sure on how to use it. It is an IMG file though.

Are you sure this isn't for the PC version ?

I cant see what question i wrote for some reason...well it goes something like this this guy anrkyst went on to make a basic pysics engine for gary's mod here but the engine is all useless if you dont find the level editor. And for what i can gather gary here has a friend who has the level editor. Now if garys freind here is unreliable (that thread was goin on since 2006 so i guess he is) all the work o the new engine will have gone to waste.

Now that I think about it it probably is, because there was simply no way to view any of the files in the document.
