RE: Custom Stories VS. Full Conversions

I find MUCH MORE comfortable to use a separate folder as a full conversion. It's also easier to manage stuff and you can change game mechanics. So yeah. Full Conversion FTW!

I like playing both, Why there isn't a vote for both Mods? XD

You don't need a full conversion to add new monsters with animations, or building sets (i.e. walls/floors/ceilings); you only need full conversions to change pre-existing parts of the game.

I rate it 3 memes.

RE: Custom Stories VS. Full Conversions

If it is the exact same story is actually stupid to prefer a full conversion since Custom Stories are easier to install/uninstall.

Today I dreamt the life I could live forever. You only know that when you feel it for you know not what you like until you've experienced it.

RE: Custom Stories VS. Full Conversions

Well, as for me personally the question is what kind of changes are good enough to call it true total conversion. And once again for me personally total conversion can't be called a total conversion without new props and textures. You can leave gameplay mechanics as they are, but you have to invest your time into modelling levels, props, details, objects and textures from a scratch. That's the only way I can get a feeling that I'm truly playing a new game (and that's the meaning of term "total conversion", amateur new game on an existing engine). Even if mechanics are changed, even drastically, but I'm surrounded by the same environments, interiors and exteriors, than I don't feel it like a total conversion. Well, that as it is for me personally, subjectively.
