Mod Testers

[mightyreds93]

I kinda agree with tool, it is a bit harsh rating peoples mods. I mean, when people kept complaining about Reapers Z4, he removed the download link! So yeah it probz would cause people to stop modding.

 

It would be fun writing reveiws and testing new mods but not if it could stop modders modding.

[Shy Guy]

IMO there could be a mod review but it must not be too negative.

[electr0]

Well I agree with the negative comments being conducive. I would just want it to be very cut and dry, saying what is actually wrong with the model. Not something like, I wish this was on the S6 and not the A6, or I don't like this model, ideally there would be no bias what so ever. What should be in the critique is technical flaws in the model, texture flaws, colors, and so on.

 

I am a college graduate and live in North America (Los Angeles) and only speak English, so If you want me to public the critiques, then I will.

Were not trying to be negative were just trying to have some fun!

[Yus0f]

Unfortunately, a lot of the people on this forum seem to think that because many of the modders are converting models, they are able to somehow be amazing 3D modelers as well. A conversion is not a custom build! Some people don't realize that some stuff can't be fixed.

 

Before people make comments about what's being changed, try modding yourself please! Then you'll realize how hard it is and what can and can't be done. :)

Ok then... why don;t we make our own show lol Top Drive Unlimited or Test Gear Unlimited see what i'm getting at?

[Immelmann]

That's totally irrelevant to what you were trying to say though.

[Evel]

Well, if this goes through, I'd like to be in. I promise not to be too harsh ;)

[Syndycate]

Haha exactly....

[TDU 505]

Well if all you're gonna say is, "Detail is good, interior fits perfectly" and be nice generally, then whats point? ;) There's no constructive criticism ;)

 

 

Or do you plan to go something like "The shadows are a little bit bugged, road visible in Interior View cam" ?

[Syndycate]

All I know is that I want to pretend to be Jeremy Clarkson, and I feel like eating....

[TDU 505]

For some reason, the way you said that really does not show that you're 22, or in that case, any post you made.

[electr0]

Who are you talking about The Saturdays? Please use quotes.

 

Everything would be constructive, and whether it is fixable or not, is not really the important part, that can be addressed after.

 

Ideally we would spend lots of time just driving that one particular model, noticing any flaws with the model itself. if there is anything odd, we can screen shot it, blow it up, and reference it to where it is on the model, so that the modeler can see what we are referring to. Some modelers don't have the time to play the model enough to notice every little thing, plus not all modelers have the expertise of seeing many of these cars up close.

 

I cant speak for the rest of the people on this forum that have volunteered, but a majority of these cars I have seen, or can see at any time.

1st to Evel, 2nd to Syndicate

 

P.S, "fixable or not, is not really the important part".

Unfortunately, fixable or not, people will still whine and demand that the modders fix it. Don't deny because even you know its true. I'm not saying you're the one but there definitely is more than none that do it.

 

 

P.P.S, "everything would be constructive"

 

True, but some people phrase it in the way that they're actually demanding. "This has a bug, fix it." or "why is the shadow so weird, please get to it". Get what i mean? Its not that the criticism is nonconstructive, its the way to phrase the criticism that matters.

Alright kids, go to sleep *good night*

[Tool831]

Oh umm just to add..

 

If you were going to say "This mod is recommended and is great" then why not post it in the actual creators thread.. So that way they can appreciate the feedback.

 

Not have it somewhere else where they are most likely not going to check.

[Iced_Bullet]

vincent, most modders have their own testers, be it close friends who they can trust and also don't mind their TDU crashing occasionally. It is a very good idea to have a small group of small testers who are dedicated to testing the new models, however this could cause hosility as many members would complaign that they are not a tester.

 

I think it is simpler for everyone alike if the current format of the testers and their close friends testing the models, is kept. The testing isn't posted on here much and is better that way.

 

Modders can be sometimes sensitive to critism (understandably), so it is best if the people they know and trust give them the "constructive critism" as to not cause hostility and arguments on the forum.

[shaan786]

can i please be a tester that would be cool:thumbsup:

[Iced_Bullet]

Please read my post above ;)

 

If you still really wish to be a tester, then you could try contacting a modder, but I seriously doubt you will get anywhere ... :-/

[vincentswe95]

Sorrry guys my computer have breakdown, so i cant play tdu for a long while! :(

[bartkramer]

I want tu be a tester

[TDU 505]

Sorry to tell you but this plan has FAILED. As of the time of this posting, the modders have their own testers already. Have you been reading the thread?
