HI everybody!
i'm stranded in this forum from just 5 minutes,but i'm messing up whit stranded 2 from about one year.

I've did A LOT of errors,mistakes,but now i'm starting to make a new mod,and i'll call it "An Unknow Planet".

story:you buyed a new spaceYATCH,filled it of nitro,and you've started your travel in the space.
but you encountered a magnetic STORM and you falled on an uncharted planet,full of ugly blue aliens,big carnivour plants and more things that i'm going to think.

so you can say:What's the point?

well,i want learn how to add new models to the game...but i want to keep the texture on them!
i downloaded some weapons (ak74+gcon&elfic swrd+battleaxe) to see how them are done,but i didn't understand how the model will be attached to the item.

i'm also going to shearch people that help me to make the mod (all welcome,nubbish to learn too)

so,can anyone Heeeeeeeeelp me?

As every time when somebody without experience starts a mod project, I recommend to make some maps first. You will get results much faster, you will get used to the script language and it is more fun until you are ready to shoulder an own mod.

Look... Two weeks ago, I was in the same situation as you. I wanted to create things as much as possible. So I get 3d studio max. Than I downloaded few tutorials and now I can say I'm advenced user. Do the same, download tutorials and try and try. Little advice: I'm quite sure, that you will be able to find tutorials even in your language (especially for 3d studio max, it's the most used 3d editor...)...
Edit: But the most important is to know, how to put objects into a game itself... because it is not about 3d model, important is to define the atributes of it in .inf files... I suggest you to learn this at first...

i've used google 4 find a tutorial and learn how to create a model in *.3ds that include textures...but i can't find it!
if anyone knows where to pick a tutorial that explain it,post it here,or say directly how

i'm going to be mad...i put textures and they disappear in stranded!

ah, THAT'S your problem

you've got to copy the textures to the same path as the model, the textures aren't included in the model file.

We also try to make a mod, where the player will be send some centuries into future and far away from earth...

Actually I uploaded some videos today, which you could watch here:

So...? What's the matter with the development...? Fed up with creating a mod...?

Nothing heard the last days, that's why I'm asking. Creating a mod of course needs a lot of time and endurance... But if you have any skills, you should still be able to assist other mods (of course it's nearly impossible to create your mod on your own...) and earn your little piece of celebrity of course...

(please excuse my bad "google"-english...)

well i'm making experience in modelling,i've made a futuristic house for stranded,and now i'm going to add some features to the game (a battery bar is the first,to use whit the laser pistols)
and i had a look on the videos of the project lost in space,is nearly what i want to do in my mod...but it's too simil.
so,if the team of the unknow planet needs someone,i'm here.
i'm going to make some maps to post them here,so you guys can see how good i am in scripting.

and..i had also a look on the forum of the lost in space mod,but i can't understand nothing!(i'm going to shearch a traductor german-italian or german-english)
i want to know,is going to be made an englis version of that mod? it seems great,when it's done it will be one of the greatest mods of stranded2
