The Shooting Script

For those of you who want to get into modding - this is the actual "shooting script" I wrote for the JLA Mod. I present it here so it can serve as an example for any budding modders out there. It contains the first 6 issues of the JLA Mod in MS Word format.
 

 JLA 1-6 Script.doc

Basically, the order I work on mods is this:

  1. First I write (and rewrite and rewrite!) the shooting script
  2. I add any new characters and powers to the mod using the FF Editor or even better, my EZ Hero Utility
  3. I add any new skins and meshes (or at least temporary ones in case skinners or meshers are working on new goodies I've requested)
  4. I send out the script to the voice actors, who will eventually get all their lines in  mp3 format back to me
  5. While I wait, I edit the strings.txt, speech.txt, and captions.txt files with all the new lines and characters
  6. I also start doing the Python scripting for cutscenes and build new maps
  7. I get to the actual gameplay and do any needed mission coding (This is usually quicker for me than the cutscenes, which take me a while)
  8. Tweak sound volumes and add any new music which I've chosen
  9. Play test (getting volunteers when needed)
  10. Package it up and ship it out!

But it all starts with the "shooting script"!
