Tamriel Rebuilt Project worlds biggest fan based add-on?

ChickenHawk · Post by **ChickenHawk** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 11:09 am

I'm just wondering, if this is the biggest so why wouldn't we try to get on the Guinness world records book?

Just for fun =)

Good thaught, but I don't think we're the biggest modding community. I believe there are modding projects that are way bigger than TR.

TIMITO!!! Welcome back!

Yeah, I know we're the largest, most ambitious mod out there overall for TES, even if at some point Wizards Islands or some other mod had more members or more content up than we did.

I'm already in there

World's longest Chorus Line.

School...had to learn this song and dance and then do it round the cricket pitch. Theres a photo of it from the air. What was funny was that someone stuck a picture of the Leader of the Conservative party in the middle, so in one of the rooms for a while after you could see the entire school worshipping the giant disembodied head of Ian Duncan Smith.

Well, if we've got real proof were the largest we should come up with some way of contacting the guinnes book of records. But I doubt were the largest. However we may end up pretty high in the top ten lists looking at number of members

I suppose it would all depend on what criteria you used to judge the biggest project.
It could be:
1) most members at any one time

2) most people having been members at some point

3) most megs of content created, etc

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:22 pm

I don't think most megs of content created is really a critera we can base this on. If you look at some Half-Life 2 mods, they have large file sizes because of new high-res textures and voices/sounds and the sort. In terms of quality though, we may "take the cake," so to say...

Lud · Post by **Lud** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:25 pm

Does anyone know how many people have been members at some point or other, though?
Or for that manner how many people have actually done work for TR?

I recall TR at one point had over a 1000 "members", i.e. forum registrations, because the downloads were in a section of the forum locked from guests. Nothing strange about that, we do it too and I'd say even a majority of the people behind our current forum registrations just come to sniff our various downloads and are then never heard from again. I personally cleaned 250 unused forum accounts from our old forum.

Anyway, it's like you say - it's hard to find a criteria to measure by.

I think when Majra did his last member sweep, we had almost 5,000 members. Right now we have almost 1,900. Apparently there were member purgings before that as well.

Lud · Post by **Lud** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:51 pm

Hee hee, "member purgings" sounds kinda sinister.
"Ah, i remember the dark days of the 'member purgings'. Anyone who spoke out against the regime would never be seen again."

*chuckle*
anyhow, i would say that Desert Combat is one of the worlds biggest mods filesize-wayz.
i do however think that we would easily take "Most ambitious mod EVER"

Thats the way it is around here. Don't tick off Dexter.

Pfft, I've banned a total of two people. You see a guy with biceps and automatically think "dictator!"

Hitler had puny biceps...

What about 'The Governator?'

You draw a parallel between me and that no-talent bodybuilder Austrian scumbag and you will see my angry face.

Gentlemen, gentlemen! Let's stick to the thread please. I think the most ambitious TES project was the Middle Earth total conversion mod. I think another very big project is Rome:Total Realism (RTR). They must also have a huge amount of members, they retextured allof the units in the game and added about 25 new ones!

ookami · Post by **ookami** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 12:15 pm

Perhaps not THE MOST, but I think it's safe to consider TR AMONG the most ambitious for TESIII. Filling in and fleshing out the details of 90something% of a continent which will be explored in first-person is something I consider ambitious, anyway. Hell, I applaud your efforts on the Morrowind mainland alone.

nakai · Post by **nakai** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:20 pm

I think desert combat is the largest mod they even made a game of it called: battlefield 2

Yeah, that's true, but it would be evem biggwr with Silgrad. Pfft! Mentioning that name makes me quiver!

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 3:33 am

Except that the Silgrad area is included but made by other modders.

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 3:37 am

I believe that OoT is larger then the entire file for Silgrad Tower...

ChickenHawk · Post by **ChickenHawk** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 8:58 am

hmm..
tell me, how do you measure ambition?
but if none has taken the record, we could easily get on the book. just keep a low profile about it:D

The Old Ye Bard · Post by **The Old Ye Bard** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:18 am

you measure ambition by dividing the amount of ego a person has by the square route of pie

or you can sit on an ambition-o-meter, either or

I just checked stilgrad tower but it lacks the detail that make TR's screenshots great

Post by **Haplo** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 9:37 pm

That's because TR doesn't throw everything they can, as well as the kitchen sink, into our mod.

Egads! We don't have a kitchen sink in OoT!?

This must be amended forthwith!

Err... anyway, back to the topic at hand, I think we should finish things before publicising them.

ChickenHawk · Post by **ChickenHawk** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 4:09 pm

well. I haven't really done so much for TR that i'd have enough value on my words but i think we(TR?) will someday be the greatest ever.
and when it comes to morrowind, I think that none (not IRL things) means more than it.

and a little off topic.
people come on and stay with the project, if you don't have time to do everything, do a little less, something that you have the time for.

and I excuse my bad english=).
