First if you want to develop a Community Faction, you will need to assemble a team, unless you think you can do the entire mod on your own which is really not feasible unless for a small mini-mod based on PR, depending on how small the mini-mod is and the skill of the developer. The normal community faction will need a team because it would be a major addition of a team to PR, etc. Best way to go about recruiting a team is normally to go posting a single topic in the community modding forums about what you plan on doing, and on other forums you think you may be able to recruit from. Remember, "testers" for your mod don't count, in fact, you can not recruit any testers for your mod as will be explained later on. Only DEVs like modellers, skinners, mappers, coders etc.

Once you have a team, you will then need to assemble a design plan of what you want to do. If your making a new faction, your design plan should include all the vehicles, weapons, and general new content you will be adding such as maps, statics or w/e. The more complete your design plan is, the more seriously we will take you and the more likely your community mod will succeed.

Once you have completed your design plan, you will need to submit it to a "Red Tag" Developer via a Private Message on these forums with info about the basics you want to do, a list of your current team members, examples of any work you may have done so far on it, models, textures etc and of course, your design plan. Again, the more complete your submissions are the more seriously we will take you. Modding is no easy task and it takes a huge amount of time and effort and we do not want to be wasting our team on a community mod that don't look like they have their sh*t together.

Once you have submitted the above, we will assess your mod and providing everything checks out and we are happy with your general concept, design plan etc we will approve your mod and make your own sub forum inside the community modding forums for you to work in. The Leader of the Community mod will also get access to the R-COM (Faction) forums so he can be in direct contact with CONs & DEVs.


What assets are we allowed to use?

To put it simply, anything that is inside the Project Reality mod or vBF2 (not xpacks etc) already, you're allowed to use, even if its not in use currently in the mod though if it's not in use, that may be because its buggy or still not finished.

For the assets in the mod, you are allowed to reskin them and add "child" objects on (models attach by code, like a missile rack or w/e) thou you are not allowed to modify the model itself without our full permission. This also goes for vBF2 models and other mod's models.

You are not allowed to use anything from another BF2 mod, including other BSS mods without full permission of the use of that asset. To get permission, you will need to go though us (Project Reality Lead Developers) to gain permission. To do this, please read the relevent Stickied post in this forum. Any assets that you require from other mods though us you are not allowed to redistribute or anything like that to any other mod team or w/e. If any other community mods want to use an asset that has been required via another community faction team, they must go through the same process.

If we find that any assets have been stolen from any other mod, be it BF2 or any other game, we will take serious action against you along with that team and inform them of exactly what you have done and then we will take it from there, but be warned, you do not want to get onto the bad side of us or any other BF2 mod, we have full copyright on these assets we have made, as you do on the assets you have made and we are entitled to take legal action if need be, though we hope it never comes to that.
