Hi Guys,

This may seem like a silly question, but where can I find custom weapons, maps, mods, etc? Are they all at Quadropolis?

Thanks,

Cam

Yes, look at:
- http://quadropolis.us/taxonomy/term/45
- The WazuClan's mod area
- Another place: http://wazu.eocore.org/mods/
- Also use the search box in this forum

Cheers. How come there are only 4 items here:http://wazu.eocore.org/mods/?

Anyone else know of any good websites?

RE is pretty new for most people, there aren't a lot of mods really. Typically anything of great value gets included in the main branch somehow anyway

Thats because we just barely got that. Same for our forums. Eventually all of Wazu's maps are planned to end up there as well as variable mods, and previews and sounds.

Thanks for the replies.

I've seen quite a few cool looking maps on Quadropolis, but like you said, there aren't many mods or custom files out there at the mo.

Well, start working on some

I've never made custom content before, but I know how to use Gimp and could create custom textures...

Its actually not nearly as hard as people think when it comes ot mapping and modeling, and many desired mods are possible with variables and cubescript alone, however to do any serious modding you will need at least basic knowledge of C++. C++ can be learned in 7 days though.

You're a much faster learner than I was

Sure, the "grammar", but not the "vocabulary".

I'd say do it! Maybe ask Qreeves about what type of textures they need the most at this moment, I'm sure he can get you started.

If custom textures such as the wazu texture pack are used in a map, is it possible for other clients to receive the required files when connecting to the server, or do they need to download everything separately?

They need to be downloaded separately, RE only transfers the map cfg, screenshot and map file itself.

Hey quin, do extra texture packs make the game take longer to load?

Not on first start, the only instance loading times will be increased is when they're actually loaded into memory by something requesting it (eg. a map, or a model, etc). There's no garbage collection in Cube 2, so once something is loaded it stays loaded until the game is shut down. Play for long enough with a video card short on VRAM and the game will crash (I had this happen in Sauerbraten on an old Intel GMA chipset).
