TD IS BACK Created 13 years ago2011-06-04 16:25:08 UTC by Dimbeak

Allow me to post from my moddb page:
It's about time, but we're finally back. Theoretical Disaster will no longer be neglected, like it was for some four months or so. During the time it has been down, I've been thinking about different concepts, trying to stray away from the Black Mesa story, but it just wouldn't work (considering the fact that it uses scientist lab-coat H.E.V. models).

However, the only people currently considered in the team are Oskar Larsson Högfeldt (coder) and me. We are still looking for a replacement chainsaw model, and a few other things, for we are currently using prefabs without permission as placeholders. (In fact, my facebook account got banned for using them in photos.)

Also, we are still looking for a voice actor who can do a good "Old Man" voice. We have made several aged scientist models to make them look older, therefore the voice acting can be done more professionally. If you want to help with the project, you can E-Mail me at ezry1999@hotmail.com.

Plus, we need a modeler, for we are still missing a model for the Lyda creature. Plus, just to get things straight, the player's name is Dr. Wilson. Not Jeffery Greens. Please consider joining us, and possibly re-joining us on this project.

Not cool, he's actually trying to accomplish something here.

Deleting the rubbish. There. No insulting cat combos, please guys?

Fair enough, I just quote Joebama's response because it's appropriate for everything.

I posted a picture of a kitteh. I did not intend for it to turn into a combo lol.

Even I posted one.

so how it is going? why dont u release some playable demo level?

The best way to get help is to release some media on your project. And GOOD media, stuff that makes potential helpers believe that you are committed to your project and are going to lead it to victory, or whatever. Just saying.

EDIT: And seeing as you're no longer neglecting it, and you said this a month ago, what have you got to show us that you have done since then? Always pays to show you haven't been slacking off.

This is a chocolate bar that we've managed to place several times in maps to heal players.

chocolate bar?

Otis from op4: "mmm candy... hey you wouldnt have a quarter i could borrow would ya?"

A chocolate bar texture? Is that all you can show us?

so far a chocolate bar is not a bad idea but how does it work like? do u press "USE" on it and gain health points?

The chocolate bar is an unused model from Opposing Force, it was left in the .pak file but never used. Try harder please.

Shoot, I think it was the wrong thing. I remember Potatis was working on it only it was Zombi Chocolate.

so only potatis has done any work on this in more than a month? And even then, only a retextured opp4 model?

Oh dear.

Oskar Larsson Högfeldt (coder) and me

So Potatis is the mods Coder, and your the mods Me?

This is funny to me

I was the coder. I no longer work on this (with the exception of a bug fix I've promised).

I do not see joining TD as an investment, I see it as a chance to have some fun. If you enjoy mapping, coding, modelling or whatever you might as well do it with someone else, Dimbark in this case. As long as you enjoy what you're doing, you win.

I do not see joining TD as an investment, I see it as a chance to have some fun.

Unless you have a damn large team you better not be joining into a mod as an investment anyways.

What? a retextured func_healthcharge? Who would have thought of that!

The chocolate bar is an unused model from Opposing Force, it was left in the .pak file but never used.

WRONG!

Heh, sorry. But yeah, it was used.

Where? I don't remember it being used.

Or maybe I just never tried to buy anything out of the candy machine.

Yeah, it pops out of the candy machine but thats just it.

A few weird things: In HL2 and Hl1, why do a lot of things that come out of the machines just fly out and hit the floor?

Why doesnt Otis take the chocolate when it hits the floor?

Because it's a gib and the 1998 AI cannot determine where it will land?

Okay, but what about the 2006 AI?

Okay, but what about the HL2 AI?

Not godlike or perfect, but if the coders spent time to program it sure, but why? It's kind of a waste of time.
