Hi, guys.
Thought I'd keep u updated on this mod.
We seem to be in some need for modellers. We do have a lot of level designers now (5 to be true) and 2 programmers. Also, 2 quite inactive modellers. Actually... they are VERY inactive
We want to see some new weapons in the mod, though... so we need someone skilled enough to make animated models HL2 ready.
We also need texturers to change the HEV suit and the FPS hands... they kinda don't fit in a rebel suit

Well... we have texturers' openings, too, so... if you feel that you could want to help us - give me a note through PM, mail or msn.

strikeback.monzi.org is the strikeback's address ( for dummies )

Any more questions... don't hesitate to ask
(and please... no flame wars, okay?) [addsig]

I don't want to be mean, but in the past mod recruiters get very little feedback from this community, especially if you don't need mappers. To get good modellers, I think it would be best to look elsewhere. Unless Fishy wants to...

Sorry, I left some things unmentioned.
We can still use mappers, as many as possible. Not only modellers. The mappers DO have the biggest pressure right now since we want to give people a small game video, in which we have clips from ingame. With these forces that we have right now, before summer nothing can be shown. With more mappers (who can spend more time with this), we might be able to release it in may already.
So, yeah... good level designers are always welcome:) As are those who are still in a big learning stage. We do have couple of them. They do well, though.

It's funny how one of the level design "sketches" is a pic taken ingame then photoshopped to look like a pencil sketch.

I don't have the skill to take on a project like this. But, good luck finding members! [addsig]

Photoshopped? Which one of them? I didn't do any of these... and I am not a graphic artist to tell anything like that though... which of those?

Btw... what skills u got then? If you know how to map (don't have to be EXPERT) then... smiley hey... i can't see any reason why u cannot learn mapping by doing some practice in such mod.
Don't worry... we'll recheck every map throuroughly to make sure it is a quality one :P

I was referring to this "Sketch" http://strikeback.monzi.org/modules/xcgal/displayimage.php?pid=5&album=random&cat=&pos=-5

I'm just a novice mapper/full time student/full time job this summer, definitely don't have to skills/time to put into a mod. I applaud your attitude however, helping people get a start and some experience is a good thing.

Thanks for the link. It feeled quite real-drawn to me, though... I still have it somewhere I think... unscanned, and it is fully pencil-drawn... I might get a digicam somewhere and picture it with some points erased with pencil eraser.

Btw... I am that kind of guy who helps people who are not good at something I am... I like to share knowledge and do it the most easiest way (hey - i even have started my own series of HL2 mapping tuts in madedog.pri.ee)

It is not real drawn. The size is 800 x 533 ... got to get rid of the 67 pixels of HUD at the bottom of the screen.

Yeah, and the author clearly used photoshop effects to make the screenshot into a "sketch". Look at the detail on the tree's... they outline the exact tree models.

Look at that attention to detail - he even drew the texture repeating on the walls.

Okay... I got him admitting it by showing him this thread smiley
I never turned that attention onto this...

Well... apparently the screenshot itself seems nice from that point... but it is still a work-in-progress so...
Anyhow, let's stop the OT and perhaps... joining, anyone? For mappers?

Ahhh... the dreaded "inactive-or-non-existent-modellers" syndrome. The mod I was working on suffered that so badly it had to shut down. Best of luck with the mod, and I hope you have better luck than I did!

I dunno, I'm not too impressed. Particulary since I can't tell what the hell this mod is about from your website. You might want an 'about' page..?! But hey, based on the name, I'm sure it's a team-based tactical shooter- truly an original concept!
