First working game modification?

[Guest]

Hey, I just got curious as to what were the first mods you've ever gotten to work in any game (Elder Scrolls or not).

For me, the first game modification that I got to work was the Akatosh Mount by Saiden Storm for Oblivion. I remember sitting for well over an hour figuring out how to install this mod, reading guides and such and then I finally got it to work. Oh boy was I happy, I was ecstatic when I got it work. I remember flying on a black drake through the night in Oblivion all over Cyrodiil, it was incredible, I never got that kind of feeling since then after installing a mod.

So, what are your stories?

I actually gotten into modding a little earlier during the Half Life engine eras. I was creating crazy maps for Team Fortress and as well as Counter-Strike. One map I remember was a Tron inspired map which still resides on my old HDD somewhere.

Do you mean getting a mod to work? Never found that hard.

If you mean wrote yourself and got to work, that would be something for Civ2, a very long time ago.

Star wars, jedi academy. Designed my own lightsaber (a shuriken). Still not too happy with it after (I think it was) three years.

Thing just doesn't rotate at the speed I want when I throw it. Never cared to share it, for that reason.

I was fooling around with shaders, then a friend found an adult video with an epic audio track on one of the gay tube sites, so I put shader effects to it. Pretty intense stuff. I'd love to upload it here but it features M-M action and I think there's little or no audience for that here on LL.

First mod for Morrowwind was a run-speed.

First mod for Oblivion was a run-speed mod.

 

Lol...

First (really first) modification was a texture editing for the mystic elf race so that it could have some tattoo x)

Ho, long, long time ago when GTA3 was the most realistic game with the best graphics I used to mod it a bit (just small reskins). Good ol' times, though.

Mine was Hellgate:London, I was an active user on the Hellgate Forums and when the crew came out with their mods for it, I tried them and still play it today.

I guess Jedi Academy, but it was really just messing around with the values on lightsabers. However, my first real "mods" were in Halo PC.

O God It was so long ago think it was some kind of mod for first Max Payne adding Katana mod

First game I got started with Mods was Morrowind... I don't even remember most of them... but like Oblivion I played it years after its prime. The "wow" moment I remember was playing with improved races (both faces and bodies) and drooling all over the game again after using the hi-res textures and just being blown away by how different things looked.

 

It was also the first game I made mods for. Including a romance/sex (text based, no animations) one that was for me, I never shared it... and also one that included more slavery for my evil Telvanni...

Probably the old DOS version of Pool of Radiance... mod probably downloaded from Channel One BBS.  Holy fark am I old.

Extra maps for DOOM.

[Mashi]

Texture replacer for the ships in StarControl, that came off some BBS.  Getting that old as dirt feeling again...

A few retextures on Morrowind at the beginning ;D

The translated ROM from DeJap for Tales of Fantasia on SuperNES. That's when I realised there are people with enought skills to bring in the occidental world some master pieces.
