Dictionary of Modding, 2007 - submissions

Mod leader, 1 self-appointed leader in need of modellers and coders to realise his idea; 2 modder who attracts a following and as a consequence becomes a mod leader; 3 a true leader who has got the people skills to manage a team properly; 4 a frustrated optimist who still cannot understand why only 10% of a modding team truely contributes.

Lazy fan, "I want to help, but I do not know how to mod."

Beta, 1 modder's definition, unfinished mod that is still work-in-progress, but is released nonetheless to recieve comments and critics and discover any left over bugs; 2 player's definition, a bad mod with lots of annoying bugs.

And on slightly the same subject, how about writing a "Modding R:TW Post-mortem"? Just to warn the new modders who will arrive for M2TW for the pitfalls and to get a better grasp on how much time modding a 3D game takes. Although it probably wouldn't deter the first definition of mod leader

LOL...so true. But if you can get the mod team up to about 80-100 members the 10% contribution might just be enough ... :)

Will update later. Currently working on beta (def. 2 probably ;) )

Suggestions Thread. 1. A diversion advice used by modders to distract fans so work on mod can be done whilst fans request their wildest fantasies get included. 2. A never-to-be-included-in-this-mod list.
