I was wondering how much time you guys actually spent modding. I typically only spend an hour or two(if any) modding during the school week...but on weekends I can spend anywhere from 4-16 hours(depending on how busy I am).

Also, have any personal records? Time spent doing insane tasks? Or just massive amounts of time spent?

I know that I once spent 11 hours in a row working on my mod...

And what exactly are you normally doing? I typically spend the majority of my time skinning or managing the mod...I really don't spend all that much actually ini coding.

i'm a Modaholic i mod more than i play games i can easily break u'r record i've once done it 12 hours in a row and that's no joke (i know i'm sick ) but i love modding more than playin the game
actualy i have't even completed the ZH campaign jet becaus as soon as i got it i started modding right away

How much I mod changes every week. Sometimes I mod a lot, other times hardly at all. It depends on how I'm feeling, what my friends are doing, and what school looks like. On average, a few hours a week, with more on weekends.

Not technically modding but I clocked up a marathon 19-hour stretch (on more than one occasion) including coffee and lunch at the desk on Generals with EA in the summer of 2001

If you speak to EJAH, he's literally non-stop - hes permanently working, EA even shipped all the PC etc to his house. No joke.

In modding terms, about an hour or two at the end of each day - Ive learned over time that sometimes once you step back from a problem for a short while, a solution usually presents itself. Previously, I would hammer away non-stop until I fixed something but I found that would mainly introduce new problems in itself - the breaks are essential, not just for your sanity and wellbeing but for your productivity too. AT w/ends, Im usually playing/modding all the time.

Im lucky - I spend about 40% time coding as I usually know what I want to do and how to do it, 60% is testing/troubleshooting.

[note to self: get out more].

I've once spent... 6 hours in a row working on the nuke for Blitzkrieg2. And 8 hours coding old TS RealCombat units. Made some 20 new ones :P


And Deez, you know you've been saying "Get out more" for almost a year now?

I am not working on a mod just now, so I sit and twiddle my thumbs
Although I have spent about 20 hours (stretched across a few weeks obviously) working on a skin (not a C&C skin, but I'll show you when its finished if you want).

I hate modding, well I do know, I just go out alot now, and I hate Photoshop and 3ds studio max now, and I hate blitz2 (don't fire me again smurf ), I spend about 20 minuites a week on it now....

There is at least one game studio out there that would fire you for expressing that believe
