modding(LEGALLY)

[Mournson]

I undertsand there's alot of different mods out there, mostly of the Zex box, and Preystation variaty, but I'm not talking about firmware mods(cause I dpn'y like em) but hardware mods, maybe even just a dumb custom paint job. for instance I'm working on an xbox controller witha custom paint job, and a little lighted design, a couple of turbo triggers and a crouch switch for retarded gme like halo that don't have permanant crouch. I'll put up a couple of prgress shots but so far I'm just saning 90% of the surface smooth.

Anyone elsae into modding of this sort, even on computers?

P.S. I put this in creation station cause there's not only a visual element to this but a creative one, tell me if I'm wrong.

[Mikero]

Dpn'y haha.

THAT SHOULD BE THE NAME OF THE NEW DINOSAURUS MATRICIAN BABY!

He's talking about custom modding hardware. Like making controllers with extra buttons, custom paintjobs, and such. Apparently he's working on a pad for XBox that'll have a switch for crouching so it's not permanent in Halo or something. I don't know Halo or care so I'm guessing that in Halo if you crouch you stay down until you press the button again.

Unless you meant me, in which case I was referring to another thread.

[Mournson]

OK what was that all about? I'm not getting your posts either of you, either I'm not privy to whatever you guys are saying, or I don't try to save time by cutting my words down to nothing. but I'll take both your comment s as criticism and ask why.

and you CAN'T crouch permanantly in halo, which is annoying, but I wouldn't explain why, cause you don't care.

[CM]

for gods sake ##### that #####

I was just making a stupid comment to be funny, don't flatter yourself.

[Mournson]

for starters, I'm not vain, and I need not my anttention or yours, second, grow up, I was actually serious on the topic, and just cause you have about as much sense for electronics as your average Ipod user, doesn't mean I need you lack of intellectual responce. and to think, this could have been avoided if you just hadn't told me not to flatter myself. now, let's drop this, cause, nobody cares, as usual.

[preventerWIND]

Aww lighten up y'all. CM's a jerk like that. You get to endure it.

But really, I'm not into modding and skinning, but sure as hell would like to be. The closest thing I've done to skinning was paint the Akuma symbol on my GBA SP, looked terrible BTW. But I want some skins for my DS, and possibly a nice skin for my Mac Mini.

[Mournson]

I'm ot for skinningeither, and I've nevr done a paintjob before, but I'm getting into it, cause I have too much free time. either way I just figured a couple of you guys might have done something interest, or, anything at all, oh well.

[CM]

Sorry we arn't as cool as you. I'll try extra hard next time. You've inspired me to write a book.

[MOX]

I've only made a skin from a site called Decalgirl, which is fun how you can design a skin in photoshop for your consoles and such. Most 'modding' i've ever done was designing a skin for my DS. (since it makes up for not having a lite...sorta>_>

[Mournson]

CM, I said drop it, seriously it's childish, and, technicly, spamming. besides, I'm actually not cool at all, I'm a loser, but I still do what I do and think what I think.


MOX, I was looking for that site, I could never remember the name of it though. BUT that was before I started with this crap.

[preventerWIND]

CM, I said drop it, seriously it's childish, and, technicly, spamming. besides, I'm actually not cool at all, I'm a loser, but I still do what I do and think what I think.

Seriously, he's just screwing around. No need to start with the deep crap, besides, looks like your self esteem is low enough. Loosen up, man.

You need to work on your posts, you're dropping letters pretty frequently.  Don't make me harp on it.  As for modding, I was never a big fan simply because painting a console or controler usually makes it look like it was painted (ie like a 9 year olds art project).  Same reason I never put stickers on my controler or consoles, they just look bad.

[Abominator]

I don't think anyone care about this, but I'll move it anyway.

*does*

Next time you want to try and be funny, don't.

[TheRedPriest]

Play nice children.

[Johncarllos]

I'm not really a modder, I might put on stickers or leave a mark on something so I know it's MINE, but the most I've done is skin my Gamecube and put an Under Armour sticker over the Nintendo thing it the middle.

If you like Guitar Hero, check out the mod area at the Scorehero.com forums, they give 'em clear cases or put all the guts in a real guitar or something, it's sweet.

What criticism?

Ah. I thought it might be that but I'm used to the usual version of "fgsfds" which is just a way of saying you don't understand the post.

CM, I said drop it, seriously it's childish, and, technicly, spamming. besides, I'm actually not cool at all, I'm a loser, but I still do what I do and think what I think.

Yeah it is low but I thought his assertiveness of being who he is was quasi admirable.

Anyway I've ever really done modding inside stuff. Software skinning, that's about it. You know, photoshop.

[Johncarllos]

Don't forget your icons. (Not sure if that falls under photoshop or not)

So, today I took the faceplate off my GH3 Wii-tar, and went sharpie nuts on it. not that I drew on it, but I laid a pattern which consisted of me making the plate mostly black with a few white lines here and there, around some of the holes, and a bunch of action under the whammy bar area. I'll post pictures when I get a new computer. It's really neat.

Don't copy me bitch. Besides this guy is just bringing it on himself.

Oh and I already knew you were a loser mono I just felt like bringing up to point it out to everyones attention. HEY EVERYONE THIS GUY IS A LOSER.

I agree with sano on this one, Next time, close your mouth and quit defecating all over this thread. Whereas everyone else is trying to have a serious discussion, You are just consistantly flaming  Mournson. If you don't like being quoted, quit posting crap.  I'm even surprized this STUIP little topic has not been locked for your complete HAT for mournson.

As for modding... When I buy a new console, portable, or what-have-you, It's not the innical buy that I am overly obsessed with, but what I can do to it afterward!

To the point of buying over-priced crap to attach to it to make it beter.

As for custom building... I get by when I need to fix something up...

[TheRedPriest]

Play nice children.

[CM]

So this loser came up to me and said...

[Johncarllos]

So this loser came up to me and said...

Hey, Rez is an intellegent, yet sometimes over tomato stick/nibbly guy, but that's just not nice...

[CM]

And this other loser came up to me and said...

[preventerWIND]

Fink. For serious. Enough of this crap.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, enough. (Although, I just had a good laugh...)

[Johncarllos]

CM likes confrontations on the internet, they make him feel powerful. Like he has the power of Greyskull.

[Mournson]

okay, that made me laugh. But seriously, I just said I was a loser to get him to shut up, but, seems JC is right, oh well.

Any who, I never used to like modding, seemed pretty risky, still is, which is why I don't modify firmware and crap, I'd rather love it for what it is. But, I do, do re-textures for fable, it's not much, but I don't have a 3D editting program, so it stays at that. And I have a lot of background with painting plastic, I do the whole bit, sanding, two coats of primer, two coats of paint, like a gazillion coats of clear coat, then a lot of polishing with automotive polish. makes a real nice gloss finish, but it is getting to the painting that's going to be a wench on the controller, because I have to build a part from scratch, then add internal lighting, and a design cut into the plastic and filled with an epoxy of sorts, this will trap the light, and give the design a nice glow.

[Johncarllos]

Wow, that's decent modding right there.
I wouldn't mind having a light up GH3 controller.

[Dr.]

CM likes confrontations on the internet, they make him feel powerful. Like he has the power of Greyskull.

SHE.

Failed.

[Johncarllos]

PROFILE SAY MALE.

[Majikn]

Gender has no bearing on posts, anyway. Being a girl doesn't redeem you if your posts are idiotic.

[Dr.]

Never implied it, but she is indeed female.

[TheRedPriest]

Fink isn't female.

[CM]

I would like to know how someone would get the impression that I have a vagina.

Just please humor me with this one.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

You always seem to be on your period.

[preventerWIND]

HAHA! Nice!

But really, settle down everybody...

[CM]

I'm not angry I'm just curious.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

About your own gender identity?

[ChaosVortex]

I can explain.

Brisa I believe went under the name "CMSomebody" in the public MChat.

Doc got Fink confused with her.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Wrong.
Brisa was CIMSomebody.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, I was thinking I was missing the I.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Not funny, nice try though.

[ChaosVortex]

... I'm serious. I second guessed myself after the post.

[Mikero]

Don't worry Fink, I never got the impression you'd ever had any consenting legal vagina.

I just had to do that one, s'all small ball jokes ya'll.

[CM]

About your own gender identity?

Why, do you wanna find out?

However in light of this new intel I must change my my name to regain my masculinity.

HELP FINK THINK UP A CRAPPIER USER NAME

[preventerWIND]

s'all small ball jokes ya'll.

Try saying that 3 times fast...

[evaC]

Who needs consent when you've got ruffies.
