Finally, when it will start BTW

[EekhoornSWAG 18]

You aren't real modders after all, so don't get all angry if someone tells you that you aren't creative! I STARTED with DYOM, and still use it most likely to get to interiors very easy, but I started using Sanny Builder to make script, you can do a lot more with it, anyone can use it, it's easy! The bad thing is that it takes a c*** load of time, but at least you can create more than simple missions!

BTW, DYOM has a lot of bugs! Random bugs!

[Curtis 4,906]

what the hell are you even saying? don't tell us how to live our lives, besides there are a lot of creative dyom missions which would take a year to make in script.

Edit:OnTopic, could anyone help me with a problem? i was making my Mission when the actor kept sitting in the wrong place.

Edited August 27, 2015 by RandomStunt

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

It will start soon.

 

@EekhoornSWAG You reminded me when i thought the same thing. I remember trying to figure out some minor things in Sanny Builder which took me like 4 hours, ah and Dutchy's tutorial threads for making simple mission. But then i came to realize DYOM is not that bad. Actually, it's better than i though, plus two new versions were released since then. It went on another whole level, and that are the reasons why i came back in DYOM business, and i always keep coming back. You will come to realize that DYOM isn't just a toy for immature 12 years old kids. There's too much to see and acknowledge.

 

Hey guys, should we just continue from where we left? So the next MOTW will be MOTW #18? It would be pointless to always start over again with #1, #2 etc.. And of course it's gonna be freestyle (any theme) because we are always refreshing with free theme and anyone can show their designing skills at their best.

Edited August 27, 2015 by AnDReJ98

[GalacticXp1 607]

You beat I'll come back, been a while and sure do have some time to make a Mission.

Seriously? I think you still don't know everything about DYOM. I mean, how to avoid bugs, etc.

 

If you're gonna say something stupid, make sure you know everything.

 

Anyways, I'll be waiting for the new season!

 

Expecting this thread to be official.

[Heisenberg_GR 498]

So, we supposed to start making missions now?

[Curtis 4,906]

i started making a mission. by the time i'm done i'm sure there'll be a topic.

[Hdxt_Hardluck 1,342]

Alright then, we'll start by now !

[Curtis 4,906]

does anyone have links to the old MOTW topics? i wanna replay every MOTW mission again for fun, but i searched the forum and the oldest MOTW topic i could find was MOTW V2 12: racing. all the other ones are deleted i guess.

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

It's easy to find, example.

 

Here are few early ones:

Also, you have winner missions on the main topic, including mission of the year winners.

Edited September 3, 2015 by AnDReJ98

[Curtis 4,906]

i found all the topics nice and easy, but one. MOTW V2 14. i found some missions on the DYOM website but i dunno if it's all of them.

Motw 14's topic is deleted.

http://gtaforums.com/topic/733232-motw-14-funny-psychopath/

[Hdxt_Hardluck 1,342]

You should add the winner in game remake

[Huzaifa khan 1,851]

Can we upload our mission with soundtrack in dyom ?

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

Of course you can.

[PyThOn #TakeItEasy 333]

How to submit our mission for MOTW?

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

Go to the current thread (this week it's this one) and post the mission. Be sure to read the rules before making mission at the top of this topic. By the way, race is the theme of this week.

[PyThOn #TakeItEasy 333]

What about if you start a new contest ? Name MOTM (Mission Of The Month) ?

[Huzaifa khan 1,851]

What about if you start a new contest ? Name MOTM (Mission Of The Month) ?

MOTW theme also introduced with MOTM concept.

[Huzaifa khan 1,851]

Hello! A98. I think you need to update the rules again man, by adding some more rules:

Here is some of them:

 

-No mission except which upload on other sites e.g: Media fire, Send Space etc...

 

-Account must be one month old to give vote to participant.

 

-Every participant should have Gta forums account to participate in the contest, unless no request will accept for adding missions.

 

What do you think ? About these stuffs...

Edited September 26, 2015 by Huzaifa khan

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

1. Well, if user has problems with DYOM site, i don't think that would be fair considering DYOM website is very unstable because there are no admins and mods to take over.

 

2. Already there.

 

3. Not necessary. Anyone can submit somebody else's mission instead of the original creator in creator's name at submitting thread though it's creator's decision if he's going to make GTAF account to make new thread and choose theme, or somebody else will do it instead. For example, Husian made thread after he learned about MOTW. So it's good idea for getting more members interested.

Edited September 26, 2015 by AnDReJ98

[O SHIT WADDAP? 276]

I have a question, it may be obvious, but tell me, can the OP itself post his mission in the contest he owns?

Also to move your misunderstanding, i am Dhiman, i tried my all familier passwords to log in but failed, even after choosing 'recover password', GTAF says that my older profile doesn't even exist, bruh.

so as you know my real profile/person, i cannot vote for my other account. (i'll probably use this one from now but anyways). so yeah thank you.

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

Yes, OP can participate in his own contest.

[ProdigyX34 182]

Well, I just saw a gameplay walkthrough about Huzaifa's mission before the voting ends which is probably against the rule

 

 

 

 

 

-You may not submit a trailer or video tutorial with your mission

shall host do something about this or let it be since it said "may"?

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

Walkthrough should be removed soon, thanks for notifying me.

[Huzaifa khan 1,851]

Oh, sorry. I forgot about it. Btw I remove it. Thanks for notifyed

[AnDReJ98 1,565]

Update:

 

Added info on how to join for newcomers and/or people from DYOM website that have no enough experience posting on GTAForums.

[maoffense01 61]

Please add Modded Mission of the Week,please!?
