Modding Project

[supertom44]

Frist off I know there is already a thread very similar to this, but this one is for the discussion of actually starting a modding project our selfs, not for joining a pre exsisting mod.

Me, richard_cousins and AndyHalfLife, have all shown interest in starting our own modding project.

In here we can discuss, the details of it, what sort of mod are we looking to make for what game etc etc.

If you are interested in joining us, then please do not hesitate to post your interest in joining in this thread:Online MOD projects

Or Pm any of us, only reason I say that is I want to keep this thread clean, for the discussion and ideas.

I think for a first modding project, we shouldnt try anything to complex, thats why my suggestion is maybe trying to make a mod bf1942, reason I say this is, its an oldish game, so shouldnt be too complex, and there are plenty of guides and help out there for modding it, mind you the same can be said about bf2.

Just an idea, what sort of games are you thinking about making a mod??

[richard_cousins]

Im personally a big counter strike source fan. Also I love games like doom3 and quake for. Maybe something on the doom 3 engine would look good.

Definatley a FPS game.

[AndyHalfLife]

i am a fan of BF2, and halflife2 mods, because HL2 is the #1 modded game, mabye we should try that for our first mod, only because there is the most help in hl2

[richard_cousins]

thats a good point. What kind of MOD would you be looking to make?

[supertom44]

Sounds like a good idea.

Ill have to go out and buy the game but I dont mind lol.

Not sure what sort of mod, I havent played the game itself.

UT 2004 is also pretty good for modding, plus theres a huge section on making mods for it over at 3dbuzz

[richard_cousins]

thats a good idea using UT 2004. Saying that wouldnt it be best to wait if using UT for UT 2007 or UT 3, then can use the unreal 3 engine.

I really like strike force for UT its a good mod. There is also another mod where you have normal weapons.

Id think a group based FPS would be a good mod. Something involving team work. You dont see much of that out there, well I havnt haha. I mean CSS is team based but only if your in a clan really

[supertom44]

I think thats a great idea, teamwork is something that adds another dimension to gameplay.

What sort of games modes does half life 2 have, if were going to mod that, or you thinking might be better of doing UT?

There are so many out there we can choose from.

Why don't you make a Team fortress (HL 1/2 mod) for UT.

Both teams get boxes and plates and a special gun to move those around.
Both teams need to build a base and protect their flag ( you could change this ).
that's build time you get, then assault time comes and you can destroy the other teams boxes ( they have a certain hp) and convert them to your side ( engineer) + points for catching the flag.

Should be interresting to see on UT

If you need more explanaition : shadow15@telenet.be

The q3 mod tremulous, http://tremulous.net/ which is also standalone, seems take an interesting twist to our team fortress idea. Builder classes can build structures like turrets and spawns, try it out, maybe an idea for your mod?
