    Hi guys, I plan on making a fairly large mod for Arcanum in the coming weeks - it won't be a small mod, I envision it being a fairly large, single-player mod, with a real plot, characters, etc etc etc.

    Due to the size of the project, I will need some help - it took the Troika guys 2 years to make their game. I really want to make a mod as high-quality (but not as long, it would be too big!). If you're interested, please e-mail me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible - if I take a little while, it's because I have exams (until Monday).

    I'm really only interested in getting people serious on making the mod on the team. WorldEd experience is preferred, but not necessary (hey, I don't have any yet).

    I already have a basic starting plot, but nothing beyond that. Everyone who gets in on the mod will get to influence the story, make towns etc etc etc.

    My e-mail is quirinus@dog.com.

    How large really. I have slow connection so I don't know if I can download that big file. Is it 100+ MB?

    I haven't made the mod yet, so I don't know how big it will be...

    If need be, I'll split it up into smaller chunks for easier download...

    On that note, it would be great if someone who joined has a broadband connection of some sort, so that uploading to the net somewhere won't take 5 hours :smile:.

    I've never worked on a mod - I've yet to finish the game, even, as I've just had it a couple days, but I'd be willing to help in any way I could.

    Modding takes skillfull and talented people with alot of RPG and Arcanum experience so you'd probably drop out.

    I will have a demo for my mod. That's still at least a month away though. AT LEAST!

    So Jar, how is this mod coming? I would like to see it.

    Sorry, I really want to see a gravedigger avatar. Even if I am the recipient.

    Owww... but newbies will probably be scared away if there's a GraveDigger saying "Welcome to the forum!" to them.

    :lol:

    It's alright, Vlad doesn't welcome people anymore *looks at Vlad evil-like*

    I was a grave digger in fallout once(maybe fallout 2...), I think there was a pipboy gravedigger picture, that should be the avatar, if it exists anyway.

    Wow... I was about to reply to the request for help too... I think you nailed it Rose, "Night of the Living Threads". Kudos to the person who can dig up the oldest, most irrelevant thread.....

    That thread is ancient, and the mod never really went anywhere, due to a lack of support and my natural laziness...

    It would have been cool though if I made it.

    You're a bit of a Fallout Fan Jarinor?
    Try this: Fan Made Fallout Project. I'd like to see if we can get that of the ground.....

    Hey, yeah, count me in on that one DU. I'm pretty sure I could help out with that, in terms of storyline, quests, dialog, etc etc etc.

    Also, asking me if I like Fallout is like *insert clever phrase here which means an emphatic yes!*.
