Valandil

Well many of you may already know about Valandil. Progress is going
great but we are in need of a few more team members. Mainly another
coder, another animator, a few more mappers, and some more texture
artists. If you have any interest in joining please e-mail Bill at
bill@valandilmod.com, or send him a PM on the Valandil forums. The
official site can be found here. http://www.valandilmod.com

If you don't already know. Valandil is a Half Life 2 mod that focuses
on medieval warfare. There will be 3 different factions to join and
several different classes to play, as well as the use of seige weapons.

I'd go as a mapper, seeing as this looks like a very promising mod from
the previous media releases I've seen, but I haven't mapped in a while
really. Plus, I have to get to work on turkeyburgers for
Fortress-Forever.

Once I find some time, I think I'll sign up as a mapper.

Until Later...

The team workin on it is filled with a lot great mappers modelers,
texture artists, animators, etc. Bill makes sure we stay on track and
from what I've seen so far everything is top notch. I'm really glad I
joined up. It's hard to choose a mod these days. There are so many
great ones. There is going to be a lot of competition among mods in the
Half Life 2 community.

Hahaha freewebs :smile:

Id join as a member, but i dont think im that good

Who's website are you looking at?

I think he thought the link to your site was the mod's adress. :biggrin:

lol... I'm already tied with two mods, so - sorry, but I ain't going to participate :sad:

But - otherwise it seems a cool one, alas I am not interested in
Medieval times... I never liked history. It was (you call it F, right?
As Failed?) 2, so I cut the crap.

We mainly need another coder. We have a large team and a coder but with
all thw work we've got it would help out a lot to have a second one. Of
course they are hard to come by. Another animator and maybe another
mapper or 2 would help also.

Don't you already have like 50 people?

To get something to work, sometimes you just have to beat your head against the wall longer; the skin grows back, but the brick doesn't.

Source hates soup!

That map screenshot looks like HL1 tbh, no offence to who did it, but Piranesi looks just as good (From CS 1.5).

I always find it funny how people think coders are more rare than animators...

Something about those screenshots reminds me of Gothic.

Seeing as how this is medieval warfare I'd hope so. By the way to
aleviate any confusion this is a multiplayer game. It's not an MMORPG.

(as if you could make a MMORPG
with the source engine. just imagine -- 200 people stuck on
dm_overwatch each tortured by ~ 1400ms lag). :cool:

As far as I know there is actually one MMORPG based on source somewhere
out there. The game is probably being created right now... But thats
all i "know"..

Even If you could squeeze so many players in a map for source the game
would still be unplayable because of the lag. The more the laggier. I don't think those guys will be able to pull this one off.

What guys?

Sure you could create an MMORPG using source, provided you heavily
modified it. Obviously the current netcode is suited to small numbers
of players as opposed to large, and the maps are detailed FPS levels
not large scale RPG settings, but you aren't just going to "up the
player limit" to turn it into an MMORPG. I'm sure the team building the
game (which is a commercial product by the way, if you are meaning the
one I think you do) are making a whole load of changes to the engine to
make it more suitable for their type of game. For example, in HL2DM
there is a lot of detailed information being thrown back and forth over
the net (think of the physics alone!), much of which an MMORPG wouldn't
need to bother with. Rip out some of that stuff and you are freeing up
bandwidth for larger numbers of players, and more stat based
information to be transmitted.

So I guess its gonna be pretty hard for a mod team to pull off anything
like an MMO, there isn't any reason why people who have properly
licensed the engine and are willing to make plenty of tweaks to it
cannot.

Like I already said. Valandil is a team based multiplayer game like DoD or CS. It is not an MMORPG.

We weren't talking about Valandil - read the past few posts.

So your admitting to derailing the topic. Ok thanks.

Calm down Spartan :razz:
Looks good umm but I swear your working for the NF team? I even have your msn :S I must have been drunk or something...

I had planned to work on NF also, but I decided it wouldn't be a good idea to work on a 2nd mod plus my other maps and art.

So in other words you are leaving or have already left NF :razz:
*Guess I wasn't drunk :wink: *

I was never part of NF to begin with. I just talked a lot with Kremator
about it. I did give a lot of good ideas to use in the mod.
