New Goldeneye Mod

If anybody is interested in doing some Goldeneye maps I'm starting a new mod.

http://www.halflife2source.com/goldeneye/

Belongs in the general board BTW :biggrin: . I thought of doing something like
this before. Nice website, you mean business, unlike many of the other
mods I've seen. How do they want the maps? Do they want remakes of the
N64? or entirly new ones?

Tried to be done before but all other developers have failed. Perhaps
this is the mod that will succeed? I'll finish up my dm_facility map.

Remakes. I had a lot of fun doing the stack level. I remade the level exactly as it was in the game, but added in some nicer textures and lighting effects.

I'd really like to see that Facility map of yours when its done. One of my favorite levels.

I really like the website.

lol im making facility too but i havent posted it no snark as it was going to be a surprise :biggrin:

Ive made quite a bit from the previous ge mod

Is anyone working on complex??

Best..map..ever..

The maps look a bit blank. You could be intelligent about this and do a CS:S and remake the original levels but make them look way better by adding different features. I think a prime example that you should base your mapping from is the evolution of de_prodigy... For anyone who hasn't seen the new one I suggest you do, it's simply beautiful!

I don't know Myrk. I may make a complete facility remake, then toy
around with it and let it evolve. For the first versions of these maps
though I think they should be exactly the same as the originals.
Perhaps after a few releases we will start upgrading them with new
features.

Personally, I think that the remakes shouldn't be exactly like the
original game. With a HL1 remake, you could get away with copying
over most of the archetecture, but with a game like Goldeneye, it
simply won't look or play very good as is.

Is anyone working on complex??

Best..map..ever..

No. I love the complex also. You should remake it.

I think the basic archetecture of the maps should be the same as the originals or fans of the original might not like it. Of course changing it around to make the map look better would be perfectly acceptable. For example in the stack map I added a large window above the main room to give the area more volume.

.... To be honest, thats not enough. Seriously compare Prodigy from CS to CSS and thats the kinda change you need. You need railings on all the sidewalks, stuff in the middle of the room, loads! Goldeneye had a different control system... In this environment it won't work on PC's very well.

I suggest all you do is take the basic layout of maps and then make it whatever based on the plans. No offence, but that map is very simplistic looking.

You should definitely change it- maps give alot of the attration to mods. I mean, whos to say that arena there can't be an outisde arena set in snow?

I'm with Myrk on this one. Simple layout first, then spice it up with
additions like props and decals. The source engine can handle more than
just a few box rooms, so add a few more things. Good idea for someone
to remake Goldeneye for source though.

I agree and am all for innovating the original maps. But at the same time I would like to stay true to the original. The Prodigy map is still at it's heart the same layout as the original.

try getting som of the original HL goldeneye mappers , they were pretty good
(andrew nguyen is good :wink: )
