Agreed. I never actually did a mod, but I worked on 2 failed attempts

Good luck with it though. And remember, the thing you want the most, the thing that will make the game the best... that feature... will never get done lol. I heard that somewhere once.

i think, if you combine KFS's and Yaks reply, you pretty much sum up my sentiments..

my advice, read the whole thread before you reply next time.. we tend to wander in our thoughts.. this thread will eventually end up talking about bodily fluid releases..

Howdy fellas, This is Osias another team member and I just had to pop in here and say hello to all the fellow designers out their with experience & those without.

Sounds to me like you got a very stable pit running here allot o peeps.

On the whole this is a bad idea on recruiting dedicated people on a mod issue. I am all ears for anyones ideas on a better way to get the word out to people that we are here, not going anywere and need more people to tackle a project of this caliber. Truly if someone has a better way I would love to hear about it and implement it.

About the Mods going down the tube posts. Your absolutly right many do and I love and hate seeing that happen. My reasons are not just anyone can make a good mod. you may consider it a hobby but its more work then you can imagine. what i can say is that several people on the team have previous mod completions under their belt. Granted not everyone. It also means completing a mod is that much more of a accomplishment.

About the making a mod before it is a released game. Your right its very difficult to plan accordingly. But if you are a veteran of design then you understand the fundamentals of any engine and what will transfer over and what you can plan on etc. Their is so much work that can be done before a games release its not funny.

now to the a mod isnt anythign like a game post. Basiclly any game that has a base engine already and is just designing the content is a mod, and just as much work goes into building it as any other game. Unless you are building your own engine. If you are using a pre-exhsisting engine well your moding so to say.

Our mod will have mucho modifications to the engine to hopefully increase the dynamics of the game. Plus it will basiclly be a stand alone game if we had engine rights. IE that means all content will be designed by us.

I do believe someone in hear requested some images etc. Well thats a catch 22 with the engine not out yet. also even if it was i would not release any content to anyone that wasnt a staff member or has signed a NDA. Um NDA = non disclosure agreement. I will release the content when it is what we consider finished enough for public release. I dont like anything premature to leak. So soon we will have some and yes we will release some screenies but were not looking for people that want to hop on a bandwagon for a free ride. Were looking for more dedicated vets, to add to our already stable foundation of other vets.

But okay enough of the debate for me for now. these are just my thoughts on the subjects and probably your right slightly biased becuase of course im on the project.

Well really just wanted to say thanks for the support fellas its much appreciated. We need more positive minded people like you in the world. You make the world turn hehe. For all the negative people out their more power to you I hope you dont think the post is an arguement fashion. But really why so much hatred? did your momma not love you enough? or are you frustrated or something. sorry low blow lol i had too do it.

well for anyone that would be intrested or has questions and needs their doubts put to rest i would be happy to speak with you for several hours about our team. If you are experienced in this field you will surely see the strenth of our team. If not well truly good luck guys in whatever you do we need more real designers in this world.

Peace out fellas hope to land in the pit again soon

I completely agree with Vash. Weapon renders? - if even. I don't apologize if my response to a completely ridiculous premise is negative - it was supposed to be. There's no explanation as to why in hell corporations would be so successful in chaotic times where beings in no need of corporations magically appear that all government would disappear.

About CS clones, what amount of CS clones are actually released? Can you show me a CS clone that is a mod for HL? Because that's the main criticism that every mod on earth seems to be rated by, and so far I have seen none.

Selfish? I'll say what I will, and you will interpret it as you will. Just don't lose track of the point.

"Also, IMO, it's better to think lower of your work than be an arrogant idiot and think you're the best."

Naturally, I can't quite agree on this with you - I can't stand a fool whose work is substandard and yet loves themself because a thousand morons chant his praises and beg for him to release more stuff. But obviously, being me, I don't find pride is so simple a matter as something you can change at will, nor as that big of a problem.
