Title: Porchlight: A Torchlight Mod
Post by: schild on October 17, 2009, 06:28:48 PM
So, I'm fully planning on making a pretty huge mod for Torchlight. Not really in the art or music department but just dungeons and such. If anyone wants to do it with me, there's going to be an unreasonably robust editor shipping with the game (which is $17.99 on preorder on Steam). Anyway, here's some videos:

I'd definitely like to get in on this project.  The editor is one of the big selling points of the game for me, and working with some other people would be fun.

If I get the game, I'll help out, though I've never used an editor like this before.

Seems like fun.

He had me at "grid snap". (seriously prospective modders: learn to use it, it's the best friend you will ever have in any editor)

Too bad this is like a week of downloading for my shitpile internet.

It takes you a week to download like 700MB total (between the game and editor)?

Yes.  It's satellite, and it's oversold, bad.

Anyone that wants to work on this, if you could send me a PM and tell me what you want to do exactly or what you have an interest in, it'll help me keep the scope reasonable. Thanks.

Got the patch, no editor yet.  Doubtful I will get to take a whack at it until next week, unless it arrives this afternoon.  Even then, won't have much time.

I have no idea how to use this thing.  Will read the manual if I can find one.

There are a bunch of tutorials around, including some that come with it. (there is a tutorials folder somewhere in the path where you installed TorchED.  Also, check out forums.runicgames.com  There is a section for modding.
