no thread is ever dead til shut down by mods....

Where do .pwk and .mdl files go in regards to the NWN program files folders...???

or not...

Whoah - Obsidian has/had internships? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> when they were Black Isle... and they do have them i thought...

As I am presently developing this, I figured I'd post this here, so anyone who has tips and tricks for the aurora toolset drop me a lline...I'll also be discussing the MOD, and perhaps giving screenshots every now and then... Devoloper's Diary (hahahahaha) I am presently working on all of the areas in my MOD...damn the aurora Toolset in the fact that areas have limited space....

good luck on that...

crazy!...and you're moving up into the design world of Monolith?

how old were you then, how old are you now?

that is really awesome, man, just thinking about getting older and working for the lead designer of KOTOR 2... gives me shivers...

That's kick ass, which studio do you work for?

you work at a studio?

I use a template from a book i bought online called Programming Roleplaying Games with DirectX... it uses the Bible per type kind of thing... what do you do?

yea, i've tried my hand at design docs too, time consuming, but fun...

neither do i...

It definately does, as I am looking into Design, and I want to know what classes to take from here on out... and knowing what path to take helps me...

To add to the series of "How to become recognized as a _____", how would a person become recognized as an efficent designer, or even an efficeint lead designer? Modmaking? Internship? Resumes?

Ah... now I'm beginning to understand. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :D

Thanks Dakoth, I'll definately keep those in mind as I work on mine with my team...

As far as something obtainable for you at this point, I have to recommend Ogre3d. There is quite a bit you can learn from it. I think the webpage is ogre3d.org. It's an open source object oriented 3d engine that is developed in c++. Why does that matter? I know a lot of people who can't spell and are still quite intelligent. I don't think that has anything to do with anything. Though I think proper spelling is good for presentation I would say anytime you need to do that you will have a spell check available. Telling someone to spell properly in forums/chat is just a little silly IMO. I think you are being way too hard on the guy for no reason at all. His only remotely stupid comment was about the bg programmers, but he's entitled to his opinion just like those of us who like to insult microsoft, lol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh, just trying to give the kid a reality check. I'm less than two years older than him and I can see the utter fallacy of his plans. Meh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you're less than two years ahead of me, I'd take it kindly if you didn't call me kid, as I hang out with seniors all them time, whether because of sports or because they're my friends, and none of them are possessed with the urge to call me kid... <_< Newayz back to my mod...

Oh and I'm begining work on a Mod prequel to my game's storyline (which is planned out already) anybody who wants to offer some cool advice it would be very welcome, as it will be what I was looking for from the begining, good advice.... thanks :D

Though it may come as a surprise to you, Tentamus, I can answer yes to all those questions aside from the one concerning me having a lawyer on retainer, though I was aware that I would need one. I have actually srote a prelim pitch doc, just for fun... I know that I would need to contact Atari, the exact person there, though, I am sorry to say I am not aware of his/her name...wait isnt it a guy named Hight?..anyways I am prepare to offer salarie, though for them I would need the loan, which I would be prepared to take out, but am under 18 and am not able to...well, legally I am but I have no LOC, therefore there would be a slim chance of me getting it Tech requirments I did, but again this was mereley prelim, supposing I work off of the KOTOR-version of the aurora engine, but as the game would not be coming out anytime soon, the tech requirments would of course change... And as for my Design Bible..well lets just say that I am well underway with it, even though I am aware that this would not be a feesible idea for some amount of years... anyways...

You know dude, I am taking classes, and the epople on the Baldur's Gate team had all NEVER worked in game programming, and I'm not bashing anyone by saying that they had never done anything with game programming, therefore I'm not being "a little excessive" plus I did this thread for the main reason of trying to figure out a path in life...you know, so I know what classes to take in my junior and senior year...this is called planning ahead...and I enjoy high school, but I can and am supposed to have my mind on the future of my life, as that is what the International Baqualuereate program, which I am enrolled in, is all about...No I'm not talking about me doign this at my present age, but in the future, yes, it is a great possibility I may go into this feild as a professional, and if people are going to posting merely to say it's immpossible, then it is a worthless waste of my time to come and read it, as I asked 'How to get started' not 'What are the possibilities of me landing the D&D liscense at the age of 15', because even though I have a vivid imagination and am quite intelligent, I am perfectly aware that no game publishing company in their right mind wopuld give a fifteen year old kid the money that is would cost to produce a game...But I am fully in my right to say what I want to say, and to plan what I want to plan, and post about it in the "Developer's Corner" as it is about developing a game, is it not? therefore I would like it for people to stop being **** and merely responding with antagonistic replys, and actually talk about what classes I should take and how I would go about starting a game bussiness...not telling me it is not possible, because in my experience, though not extensive, nothing is ever immpossible, therefore I would really like it for people who post such replies to either change the ways of their posts or just leave me to my adolecent fancies, but if that is not possible, I will merely ignore those who don't

i wasn't bashing bioware, just comparing their achievments to what I want to do :angry:

For every fan of Baldur's Gate that feels i cant do it, that game was made by a full team of complete amatuers who neevr knew how to program a game before... so...

I apologize for my misuse of the grammactical skills I have gained on the internet. I am going to use those links, but by any chance do any of them have a link to a graphics engine? Anyways, I'm going to continue on my design ideas.
