| there are many things needed to make a mod, you hav ethe choice to make them all alone or find a team to help you. first of all and the most important i would say is scripting to make cinematics and cutscenes.
then theres mapping to make the environment.
after theres modeling and skinning to make the characters and there skin.
after theres coding this is to make the menus the options in the mod. Its more with codes though
After there are designs to mka enew designs for the mod.
Then theres audio you wil need audio files.
Theres also textures to mak enew textures for the maps.
animations if you want to make new stances attacks etc. theres also permission if you want to use others work but its not rcomended i would say make things by yourself you will be happier in the end. SO as i said its the basic to make a mod. everything you will do will all work together in the end. Scripts with the maps and models and all. And also you can find a team like i did, its less work and everyone has his strengths in differernt parts. or like wector who made it by himself and who i would say is a very talented modder to make this and learn all of this alone.

| 3ds max is only for models. Maps is with gtk radient. in tutorials they will mention jk2radient but dont use jk2 radient it still works with gtk radient. 1.4 or 1.5 but i recomend 1.4 since theres less unusual bugs. the link should be in the links i gave you

| yea probably but i dont have vista so i cant tell, also let me tell you that when i first started mapping i didnt know what i was dooing, but look at this tutorial and it explains everything. if ever you have a problem il try to help out. http://www.richdiesal.map-craft.com/tutorials/index.html so mess around a little read what he has to tell you and try things. but never discorage yourself. i got it quite fast and at the start like i told you i had trouble making two rooms haha. good luck for your future projects

| well for map objects there is a way though im not really good at it. its easy putting the map object in game. But after the hard part is that you need to recover it with a brush. With the phisic clip texture in commo0n textures file. first go in your sort of screen where you add the brushes, the sort of plan screeb, then right cick and go to misc. after go to either map objects or models i cant remember and im not home so i dont have gtk with me now. but its one of those two. then go to your map object files when it opens and select the object you want. in the begging you will click on a file like yavin objects., nothing will be in the file you need to go down and which type opf file and select .md3 then the list will apear. The brush recovery is need because if you just leave a map object like that it will apear in game thoughthe player will walk through the object, it wont be solid. this is why you need to make the form of your object using 2 point clipping and recover it with the physic clip texture. im not good with that yet though you might ask wector

| well info is the character spawn point therefore i pretty sure it has to do with your spawn points, if there to close to the ground or just not well set. but i never got those errors before, and never saw them either so im not so sure.
