i am going to begin making my mod, i need a team

[G.man]

So i am making a BD armory expansion, i almost know nothing about this and need some people. we will make some sifi weapons and we might make up some weapons to.

I have made some 3d models but i'm not saying i'm good. we need someone to help on this

i need someone to make textures

i need someone to balance parts and implement them into the game

and last we need a idea person

i don't know if this is the right place for this, so comment if it goes somewhere else

if you want the help, leave something that you can make or have made.

Thanks

Advice for anyone starting a part mod with little to no experience.

1. Start small

your first part should be of simple geometry that doesn't need animations or special configuration in unity such as structural parts, probe cores, fuel tanks, batteries, reaction wheels, small science experiments, nose cones, RTG's, Fuel cells, ISRU, anything that can work as just a mesh and a config file basically.

2. Be ready to do it all yourself

You should never expect to find someone who will texture for you it's a once in a blue moon sort of deal. So instead I offer two alternatives if you simply won't learn to texture.

A.

you can unwrap your UV map to an existing texture sheet such as what the

SXT

mod does with stock textures. this eliminates the need to make textures and makes you parts not add to peoples ram load, but it also means you will spend more time maintaining your mod as the original texture creator makes their own changes to their textures.

B.

Simply photoshop elements from other textures into a copy and pasted collage. This solves the maintenance problems with A. for only a little extra work. Remember to respect the original creators licence.

3. Practice makes perfect.

Not gonna lie when you finally start to feel you are good at this you are gonna look back at your old stuff and cringe a little...

Do a lot of people use the BDArmory mod ? I've never downloaded or used it. I think you should come out with a different type of mod.

BDArmory is so much fun, and i have made much progress, so i will not be giving it up

I'll help.

I am pretty good with .cfg files and setting up part files, etc.

I know what it is like being new to modding and needing some extra help.

WARNING: I will not be able to donate my full time and effort to this mod as I'm currently working on Maritime Pack and another unreleased mod, but im alway here if you need some answers to questions/
