Journal #7915

Funny you should mention it, I have been trying to complete my horror themed mod for the last two years. However, when I say "complete" I mean to say "start". I think I have restarted roughly six times, I personally blame lack of planning and mappers block.

Yeah had the same question in my head for a month now. WHEN ?

Yes, Source, more info and more tutorials, come on PROs we noobs need to learn.

It would be great to start going full on source here.

We need to re-write lots of the goldsource hammer tutorials to be goldsource/source agnostic.

I just don't see that happening with the shitty tutorial system we have.

plenty of places do tutorials, and vdc seems the best site for all things source, so i think it's kinda a waste of time to invest too much efforts into tutorials, but meh maybe i'm wrong.

community sp mod tho, i'm so in

I could help by doing voicework for a mute character.

Tell you what, when Valve releases a full code-base for a modern version of the Source engine, (Likely Ep3) and I have access to it, I'll choose one of my many ideas and start working on it.

It will likely feature guns. And possibly things to shoot with them.

"(Likely Ep3)"

Why are people still waiting for that again? It's not coming out, you know that right?

I just started working on my map series yet again after my vacation. The second map is going slow, I've test 2 environments so far and both have taken eons to compile, then hammer just freezes. Hoping the Large City idea pans out! At least now I have some lines form Archie in the first map.

EDIT: And don't say that Urby! I want to believe that one day I will be using Hammer 2 for EP3. With a sparkling new and beautiful Source engine. drools

I'be needing help on mapping for a goldsrc mod, come on guys

Well, Urby, they haven't released source code for Portal, Portal 2, TF2, the L4Ds, I doubt they'll release anything for CS:GO or DOTA 2, but they did release code for Ep1 and Ep2. So I think that's the only chance we'll ever get.
No Ep3, no code. No code, no mods more complex than mappacks for HL2 on the '09 branch.

And then when mods are gone, PC gaming dies, and not just in the minds of retailers. There will be a burgeoning PC film making industry, however.

2much: Code a VMF to RMF converter, please. The lack of brush dimension memory in Hammer 3.x is painful to work with once you've used 4.

I nominate Captain Terror and Myself for project manager positions.
I'm In.

I'll be the Executive General Manager of the mod. (That is, I do nothing useful, actively hinder project development, and then take all the credit once it's done.)

Sounds like my former chairman.

I can write a story for the mod. Ya known, characters, setting, mood, etc.

I can play the drums!

I LIEK CHOCOLATE MILK!!
