To be honest, those deer hunter games are about as much fun as sticking hot pins in your eyes. So I don't think it's a very good concept, tbh :/

Are you bashing sticking hot pins into your eyes? What the hell man, don't hate something just because you don't understand it!

Once I played this game called "Deer Hunter" ... it was fun ...

For about 20 seconds, at the moment where I realized this was not an action-packed First Person Shooter, but some stupid game that forced me to wait and wait and wait for animals that won't show up in this demo-version, as I found out a couple of minutes later.

So, not th?t kind of a good idea, but if you can think op some elements that would spice this sort of game up (exploding reindeers !), this could turn out fun.

Umm... just a suggestion, but you should really try just releasing a standard map before you keep lunging at all these different mod ideas... It almost seems like you're setting yourself up for failure by constantly giving yourself really really high standards. Set your goals at something you can acheive and work your way on up.

Start with a HL-DM match. Clean and simple, learn the basics of mapping, and see how it turns out.

Writing a mod really isn't the easiest thing to start with.

For a programmer it probably would be easier than learning to map.<!-- Kerio Popup Killer - script has been appended by KPF -->

I personally don't see the big deal in the "hey it's me :leper: Half-dude" posts... we all have our little nuances (Don't mean to single anyone out, but "Doc Brass... :dodgy: " comes to mind... :razz: )

I say just let the guy be. Its harmless.

Hey its me :dorky: wil5on

a deer hunter mod could work... possibly. you really need a whole bunch of ppl, and ppl arent going to join a mod team if its only got 1 person with just an idea. make a few maps, textures, models whatever, see what youre good at, make yourself known in the community, then ppl might be interested in making a mod with u.

Hey it's me :guillotine: Queen Marie-Antoinette,

I could make this mod in a few seconds if I had a deer and hunter model. Just make one map and give only crossbows, then set the allowed teams to "hunter;deer" and let the hunters shoot the deer with crossbows.

Of course I can't think of a way to keep the deer from also getting crossbows and shooting back, since this isn't exactly a mod, just a map with model replacements. But hey, that's the danger of hunting, right?

It's a SP game were you'd be gordon or something and you'd shoot aliens that run by every now and then

now youre completely changing the concept... it went from deer hunting to freeman shooting aliens! if you want freeman shooting aliens, just make an ordinary sp map. the aliens could come from a monstermaker, run on scripted_sequences. easy.

ya that was what I'd do, It wouldent be just a alien shooting game well, mabe.... But it would be like a spouf on the deer hunter games, like the deer avenger series.

It could also have single play or a mode where you compeat aginst a barney :lol:

Technically, spirit is a mod, but really its just a new DLL, with a bunch of cool features.

I think this site should have a Spirit maps section... if it doesnt have one already.

/me checks...

It doesnt...
