You wonder: what is this topic? Well, this is, first and foremost, a lounge for designers. Have an idea for a mission? Post it here. Want to discuss the possibilities of a new mission pack? It may also be posted here. Need feedback about a trailer? Submit here.

There's no need to explain the goal of the thread as the title is. This is not only a place to avoid countless topics, share ideas, discuss about missions and comment trailer. It is the designers lounge: a place where we gather and chat about missions. We are humans so let's act as ones.

While we can talk about missions and mission packs we can find here, we can also suggest ones found on dyom.gtagames.nl that we cannot find here. You may also chat about other subjects but, keep it to a certain degree.

Avoid useless spam and this thing will be up n' running.

Nice idea. But is this not what individual mission topics are for? And I doubt any designers would like to share their expert design techniques .

Nevertheless, I'm sure we'll find something to discuss here.

@Chimpso: I'm sure he meant discussing about missionpacks *before* you made them, to avoid polls like "Did you likee mah mishens#"#!?"

[Doublepulse]

lol Idk what design techniques there is to keep secret.. Most of it is like thinking of an idea.. plotting objectives, typing stuff

I guess some can be shared, still most of the work shows when the mission is played.

or at least thats how i see it.

Im guessing other things we can talk about would be like

How did we get introduced to DYOM? thats a good starting question.

What introduced you to DYOM? lol

[Secronom President]

I started to play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on PC in October or November and I didn't want to play the story again so I quit. Then, in December, I restarted to play and decided to take a look in the Design Your Own Missions forum.

This, is my story.

[pauliux2]

once i tought about checking some Sa mods.and i found dyom

[SevilleCheng]

A friend told me about DYOM in 2009.So I downloaded it and get interested in it.

[leoncj]

I started playing San Andreas on PS2 first when I was still a kid. Then 2 years later I started playing on PC, when I got bored of it, I found out about the feature "modding". In 2009 I found DYOM, at first it was not simple to use it and I thought where to post those missions I made. I stopped making missions, because it was boring make them for myself
When I read more about DYOM, I found the site to upload them. Then I released my first story... (Strange Shop)
Few months later I found out about GTAForums, so here I am now.

[twannie1997]

November 2009, i started playing SA-MP because i came across it in YouTube. I found an forum, (this one) and started looking thru, until i heard about DYOM and tried it out.

[TonyCJ]

I played gta san andreas on ps2 first too i finished it about 3 times i got bored and then i donwloaded it to PC and then i was just searching some mods and i found DYOM and now here i am

[Chimpso]

Well. I began DYOM back in the early days. Like, early 2009. I used it for a little bit, but found it too hard. I left it for a few months, came back to it, but then got bored with it again. Around the start of 2010 I began making missions again, uploading some to GTAGarage. Then I discovered this forum, and (in April) began my first mission series; the SAPD Chronicles. I originally just wanted to make a few cop missions. But then I got the characters formed, got a story going and thought "I'll keep this". I got positive reviews for the first part, and better reviews for the second part. So I made two more parts and am now working on another two more. I also started another series in my spare time called "The Columbos". Instead of cops, it focused on gangster life and restarting an old gang. It was a failure, so I stopped it, realising I'm no good at gangster missions. So I continued with cop missions, which hardly anyone makes. And I'm now working on re-creating one of my favourite games; 007 GoldenEye.

So that's my story. Thanks for reading .

It was a dark day, I was at teh hospital naked and crying.. nah.
It all started after I was looking for designing mods for SA, some mods which I can show my creativity on, and after a long time, I found DYOM.
It think it was around a week before I registered. (around 7th of July 2009)
You can't even imagine how embarassed I'll be if one of you will find my first mission. uh.

I stopped making missions around the last months of 2010 (november? december? I don't know the actuall order of the months (I know, that's a dumb thing not to know))
because I was lazy.

I returned, made another few missionpacks (two I think)
and left DYOM again.

now I've returned, with full powers.

That's it,
Now I've got a question too.
What themes are your favourites?

Gangs,
Ballas (deserves a special category, as we have by far too many of em)
Drama
Comedy
Army
Action (everything else)
Driving (Car deliveries, trucks etc)
etc?

[COOLMAN12234555896]

I bought San Andreas in 2006 on PC. Later I wanted to saw 2-player mode on PS2, so I downloaded it and burned to my CD. Later in "Grand Theft Wiki" I saw an article about "Design Your Own Mission". I read it and watched trailer. So I begin to create missions and signed up to GTAForums.com. THE END...

Action dude action is cool

[Chimpso]

Where are cops in that list?

But I'll go with both Comedy and Action.

[pauliux2]

ACTION!

[leoncj]

Gangs + Action + Comedy + Cops + Mafia = ... Theme

Why not? Then you can learn from everyone.
