Some work on a stock-scale Mars colonization/manned exploration mod, aka Duna Colonization Systems.

Currently just a rework of BahamutoD's ConstellationEssentials, CXAerospace, and the Spice Launch System, but I hope to find a modeller interested in making semi-stockalike Orion, Altair, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Dragon V2, and Mars One Dragon spacecraft in addition to other little things such as Duna colony parts, the Nautilus-X, MAV, internal frame for the CXAerospace parts, etc.

Just a question. Have you ever thought of trying to model by yourself?

I have.

By the way, I love your Rodan. When it's done, could you maybe let me use it and possibly make a Mars One version for me as well?

Thanks. If I get proper credit you may be able to use it. I want to make a launcher for it after I finish the pod and trunk first though but I am thinking of making the cargo version which is pretty much what the Mars One version is.

For modeling, it is pretty fun IMO once you get the hang of it. I recommend either Blender or Wings 3D (I think Beale uses that). There are several tutorials on the forum and online about modeling and texturing in Blender. :)

When you finish the pod could I possibly be given a download for it? I want to add some stuff to it such as XT Landertron support.

Why are you trying to rework mods like Constellation Essentials and Spice Launch System that still function perfectly? Also, I would take modeling into your own hands, instead of asking for it, as projects that just beg for help rarely succeed. And why would you add SRMs to a capsule that has LFO engines?

They would still be LFO.

I'm not just reworking this time. The Spice Launch System parts have been rescaled to 5 meters, and the bottom now can have stuff attached to it. I can't model at all, I've tried. I need a modeller.

There was already a config to scale down the SLS, adding a node in a .cfg file is nothing to brag about, and what about Constellation Essentials? It still works, no need to rework it. This is the second time you're tried this, you know your DL is going to get taken down due to license violations. If you need a modeler, why are you even doing this if you can't make anything original?

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. I won't be violating licenses any more, I learned my lesson. And I've rescaled many CE parts up. And the SLS config was before he added the fuel tanks. I'm also actually going to balance the parts this time around.

I'm not one of those 9-year-olds trying to make modpacks and planets for PFCE that has an IQ of like 10. I actually am pretty good at modding, I just can't 3d model, make textures, or code.

Good grief, I haven't even posted a download! I won't make a DL until I at least get the Rodan from tygoo7, if not a 3d modeler. I am looking for a modeler/texturer but idk how to find one.

So what can you do? I'm just wondering if this is an actual effort, or you just want your name on a mod. Because these are all very nice mods, and I can't deny it would be pretty cool to see a CMES style redo of them, but this appears to be just putting them in a separate Gamedata folder, and breaking saves. Rescaling parts takes no effort at all, and is no accomplishment.

So... you only do .cfg edits then? That's not modding, that's giving a print of the Mona Lisa a mustache and claiming it as your own because you "changed it to match the style you wanted." If you really want to make mods, learn how to model or code, and actually produce your own content. Don't just collect the work of others and change it enough to call it your own. Even if the licence permits it, that's hardly an honest thing to do, and nobody is going to want to download a simple parts pack.

Gentlemen, not everyone can model, not everyone can code, but anyone can desire to do something for the game and the community they love, even if it is nothing more than to try to make a few addons work a bit better four other players to the best of their limited ability.

There's nothing wrong with asking if others are interested in helping either, if no one is then one just changes the channel and moves on.

I believe this thread is not going to achieve anything constructive however, questioning the competency of others and hinting at dishonesty has never resulted in a thread staying civil for long.

So I'm going to close this before it invariably turns sour.
