Hello peeps,
I was formally known as Guardian to most of you and I was working on the Without Remorse campaign. Unfornately at the very time I announced the rebirth of WR my HD crashed and all that info was lost.
I tried emailing ppl who worked on it with me but no one had all the files I needed to get WR back up (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
As time went by I have been playing Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. They are Modifications of the game Half-Life.
Well, I am one who loves to create and now I want to start on a major modification of Half-Life for the Freespace 2 universe.
Simple plan:
Covert Terran and Vasudans are onboard a major Shivan ship that is twice as large as the Santhas and Twice as strong as the Lucifer.
Only few ppl know of this ship and it is heading for Capella. Terrans job is to find the reactors on this ship and destroy it. There are several reactors so there will be several maps.
The ship will of course be a Shivan ship so the walls and intruments in each level will be designed that way.
Character Models are needed and also hand held weapons for terrans, vasudans AND Shivans.
There should be a time limit in each level.
You as a player may chose to be a Shivan or a Terran or Vasudan.
There will be no respawn once killed until a whole team is dead just like Counter-Strike but you will not have to buy weapons.
I am not sure if you need to choose a type of fighter or just choose weapons yet.
If ANYONE here can work on modeling for characters, weapons and level WADs please email me at [email protected]
I am totally serious about this as those who worked with me on WR will agree. WR was in final stage when I lost the stuff, in fact I burned it all to CD, just finding that damn CD is the problem (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
Please let me know if you are interested.
All of the above is not in stone as better ideas from you or me may arise.
thank you (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

There is an ongoing one for Red Faction. Maybe you could join them, and maybe they could help you with your idea as well.

ahh well, I dont have Red Faction and actually after playing the demo I didnt find it more appealing (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
Just me (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
still the offer stands (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Thx

3 years ago, treize told me that he started on a FS-Half life conversion but it never got finsihed because he didnt know enough C++ to do anything. so all he got done was texturing and mission designes with a lil help from Dark. though those days are long dead, with the help of a dedicated team of up to atleast 5, u can use the half life engine easily and manipulate it. being that theres so much information about it out there about this engine alone (cause it is the QUAKE1-2 engines togeather) rather than the red faction engine, anyone with some deddication can make it happen. but i am not feeling the ideas of spedning money for weapons like CS. why would u need money of ur in the military already and are infiltrating the shivan ship? it is kinda singular in design. its a great concept, but dont compare it to CS too much or when u begin makin it, its gonna end up like a CS clone.

I think Bobboau is working on something like that, so you might want to check with him. Great idea though, and even though I don't have half-life, I might buy it when this comes out (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

YOU DONT HAVE HALF LIFE where have you been living man???????? its the best game EVER!!!!! go buy it this instant and prepare yourself for lots of much funess dispite the fact its now ancient
-
Ancient or not, you gotta admit that it was one well designed engine to still be viable this many years after it was origionally developed
------------------
I told you that It ("http://www.geocities.com/jskgames/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...
-
oh yeah its amazing - when was it released???? was ages ago now
-
Somehow I knew this was going to turn into a "Half-Life" thread.... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

I don't have any experience MODding half-life, but if you wouldn't mind getting me pointed in the right direction (like where I can get the needed SDKs and some quick lessons (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)) it sounds like a project I'd like to work on. Been meaning to learn how to MOD half-life anyway (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I was going to have a go at making a Fs mod for half life but I found World craft too difficult to use.

-
That's ok, everyone is telling me about the Red FAction one so I am going to scrap the FS2 theme. Too limiting anyway.
Sorry for the trouble ... I will instead work one another theme for a MOD.

Not really. With Worldcrafts abilities an experienced user can make some great levels. Just need to spend some time making some new textures and sprites etc.

HL is easy to mod, almost as easy as FS....
-
well the RF mod team (of wich I am a part of) could help you with your project and you could help us with ours.

I used to have it, but I gave it to someone and never got it back. Anyway, I started playing FS, so I never really became re-interested (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I'm thinking of starting an Unreal Tournament to Freespace MOD to tie in with my campaign.

I hate it when you guys talk about stuff like red faction and half-life. I wish I could buy games like that. My parents don't think I'm "old enough" and they say it's a bad influence on my siblings, even though we all watch the Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy.

Sounds like a plan (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
However, I want to explore some with Worldcraft a little more.
I am not experienced enough to take this on my own and I have no experience whatsoever in models and C++.
I may be in over my head (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
But I was thinking that maybe also in this mod that Shivans are on a Terran or Vasudan ship so that all levels wont be just Shivan design.
I have ideas, just not the talent to do it all (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

???
They let you watch South Park, but think Half-life would be a bad influence?!?
Do they even WATCH the show!?!

Thx guys
but I have 3 other ppl ready to help out and we are heading in another direction with it.
It will not be Freespace 2 but a different mod.
I will not bore you with the details but we are quite entusiastic(sp?) about it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Same here, but I usually get enough influence that they usually ignore me playing UT, if I get good grades. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
No, I'm not spoiled (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
