Yes, us old modding farts can't mod for six hours in a single stretch like we used to.

4 hours is plenty.   That's my vote ;D

While it's always unfortunate when people run out of time, I think 4 hours is an excellent length of time. It's not too short that it can't be done (neither was 3 hours, but 4 seems better) but it still severely punishes procrastination.

Yeah,  my first mod had several characters called IRNCUV... and so does my last one in IM3.   They are completely different characters though.   You should try each of mine seperately and uninstall between.

Yeah, Slimes in particular has a couple of entries that you might want to be careful about installing.

Any downside to installing all the IM MOD's all at once?  I've downloaded all 3 IM Packs, but have yet to install them (pending my current game getting done & doing a complete re-install).  Any reason I shouldn't just install all 20+ MOD's & have them all in effect at once?

You should probably check out the various readmes.  I know my IM2 entry requires a reload after it's done (unless you want to play the rest of the game with your party polymorphed.)

I don't seem to really have the time to create any more tutorials  (are mine even here?).   There are currently two at IEModders that you are welcome to transfer here in a tutorial thread.  But I can set aside a day to be online and answer questions and guide a group through area creation.

For everyone's information, I have found all the modders at PPG extremely receptive to questions and incredibly helpful about answering them. I'm not sure formal lessons are at all necessary. Some more area-creation tutorials would be an excellent resource, though.

Quote from: Grey
An idea spawned from the aftermath of Iron Modder 3 was a sort of "pro-am" learning scheme...

Why not make a lesson-contest thing... like:
A. Posting tutorials how to make cutscenes
After few weeks...
B. Iron Modder like contest where a cutscene have to be used :)

The same for areas, NPC, monsters, spells&items... what do you think?

That could be an interesting way of doing a class.... hmmm.    I willl have to look into getting that.    In the mean time, maybe a specific curriculum might be in order.... a specific aspect of area creation?   Or perhaps a basic first class on how to get a new area in the game?   I won't hijack this thread.   I'll start a new one and see what people think.

WebEx is (as the name implies) a Web-based service, you don't buy it as software... although you do have to pay for it, ALTHOUGH they seem to be running a free trial at the moment.

One could also use NetMeeting and the whiteboard, one could also use VNC... there are a lot of ways to solve this problem.

Nice, online teaching. I bet it is available for a small license fee at your friendly neighbourhood dealer from Redmond.

So we could set it up and Cuv tells us a specific date and we are ready. :) Online modding university.

WebEx is an online conferencing system. Among other things you can share a desktop to any number of users via a browser interface.
