That's right, a mapper's mod. You know - where you give weapon animation to all viable npcs (so you can have combine elite's with magnums or - if you prefer - eli limping around with a shotgun), fixing up the buggy ones (npc_stalker, shield scanners, those big fish things, combine snipers) and numerous tweaks here and there (to allow rebels to drive the dune buggies, fixed alyxpistol and annabelle etc). Running around with a flame thrower would be fun as well, I would imagine.

Some new props and textures (maybe even the cstrike weapons) wouldn't hurt either

Wouldn't that be ace? (hint hint?)

Sadly I can't code (for various reasons) and I can't model either (XSI = pain in the arse - especially with a scroll wheel mouse). I'm planning on asking around but I highly, highly doubt that anyone is likely to listen to a 13 year old.

Any takers?

With my own HL2 DM projects, the mosaic, Rogue Threat even I am pressed for time. Its a sound idea though, sounds kind of like that MOD that had all that extra stuff in it (only that MOD was way over kill, it super saturated all the HL2 levels with extra usless stuff)

If your really seriouse though your going to need a web site and some solid consept stuff.

You're refering to HL2 Substance no? (Didn't know you were working on Rouge Threat - that looks like an ace mod!)

yeah, substance. It was too over done, they just put as much random crap into the maps as they could, like the combine killing random people in the train station...

thanks, RT its comming together quite well.

No offense to the good Doctor, of course, but whoever started capitalizing the word 'mod' needs to be shot.

Well I coulda said "I'll give a prize to however does Cassius' wishes", but that wouldn't have been so wonderfully eloquent would it now?!

Dr Brasso...

Cass strikes me as the type who would bitch his shoes out after finding that he misplaced them.

This thread has derailed and come off a bridge now. I think I'll wait for RT myself. PS - I've got some Combine Flamethrower concepts if you're interested Doctor

I bellieve it has been discussed before, but... how about the whole snarkpit community would take it on and make their own mod? Let's face it... maps are going to be super-dee-duper <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> by looking at the amount of mappers here <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
yeah... a cool mod made by whole snarkpit community! Whatcha say?

That would involve a lot of hard work and I hope you have it <smiley

Dr Glass, your working on Rogue Threat <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
Good for you <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Sadly I would help but I only map and the Nightfall team have sucked me dry :O

Yeah, its a nice idea but doubt anything will come of it. The map mosaic is a community project I've spred over 3 sites and only requires a tiny map, any still there are only a handfull of people who signed up. I dont think you could get a community wide MOD with mappers, coders, and artist to work together on this.


but you never know...

He could, as a matter of fact... if he can compensate the hard work with something like <hem hem> money </hem hem> then he will find a lot of them <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
