I got an Idea 2

Posted 19 years ago2005-01-10 13:39:08 UTC Post #83027

About the texturing, if anyone wants to add a custom texture, let me know... I will add them to the twhlmixtex.wad ... I'd sure hate to have to retexture some of my map completely with hl stuff...

I didn't add much new ones myself... just about 9, and I'm not thinking of adding anymore... I just didn't find appropriate ones in the hl wads...
Also, I have two versions of my textures: one with 512xsomething pixel resolution and one with 256xsomething ones... which ones should I use?

I sure hope so.

And Gman is in charge of custom textures, so Yes. We are allowed to use them. whew!

Gman: i'd use the 256 versions. Makes life faster for a lot of people.

Haz: i understand your concerns with the compiling. But i remain optimistic.

How about we just map first ask questions later?
Or that's probably a bad idea...

You are allowed to use custom textures, ZL.

Thats what I think, though I would say it:

Lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

Oh,

And we could make it a minimod if we want.

How about we vote on it?

every member who posts here in TWHLmix will get a vote.

I vote yes

Haz, my map's theme only goes as far as kol's map, which takes place on Xen. You don't have to copy my theme. I chose it because I think I'll be able to make something good with it. The map's going really well so far, I'll probably finish it this weekend, if not, it'll probably be done by sometime next week.

Making it a mini-mod will make it seem more profesional, rather than held together by string.

I also vote 'yes', but it doesn't take the work off of you. Every noob can build a mod, you still have to produce good maps.

Also I think we shouldn't modify all the GUI. The menu splash can be changed, but leave the HUD alone.
If we make a mod out of it, what do think about custom models? Everybody was complaining about a missing boss fight, so decided to have one in my part, which requires models.

Back to getting suggestions from others. Some of you might want their part to contain a few surprises, which nobody is supposed to know before we go final. I think it's enough, when everybody adds they basic layout to the map - no detail, no plot, maybe enemies/weapons. The important things are entrance and exit, so the next people in the list can build on. The only person who will see the final version, before it we release, would be BL then.
What do you think about this?

BTW: I started writing my plot, in my free school time. It will be sexy - literally!

/me votes "yes"
We can make a splash screen and so on for the WON version

and it'll be easier to install that way, and be more flexible etc...
Btw, with the previous TWHLmix I tried running it as a minimod, but I got some "bad SVC 00" error... but it ran A.O.K. in the 'valve' folder... pretty weird

@Jahz: Set fire to it

I agree bout the HUD-thing. It's supposed to be half-life, so em, keep it at that.
But the menu-GUI.. definately.
About custom models, why not? If you've got any to use... go for it. They can't be affecting other peoples' maps though.

And KEEP THIS THREAD CLEAR OF SPAM (IEMC, BL, Rileymo)

When I recieve the map from everyone, I will personally look it over. If there is an obvious flaw in weapon placement or enemies, I will change it, I.E, giving the player a rocket launcher instead of a crowbar in the first map. Also, making the player face an army of Grunts with a pistol, although that might be good for later levels, not the begining.

that would be nice looking. Maybe some TWHL orange?

is this going to be Steam or WON or both? (both please.)
When it steam, maybe we can add DM maps to it to make it multiplayer. (?)

And i wish to use custom models. I got some weird ones i want to use.

Seventh-Monkey, I'll do the WON. never liked steam.

IEMC, deathmatch would be useless since were not changing any code.

I think the HUD should be a nice socialistic red. I mean, there's already orange, blue and green in other mods (probably red too, but hey). Alternatively bright-pink.

I see things getting too far.
Don't change too much.
We're still doing a collaborate map.
Having custom gfx is ok, as long as nobody wants to change original HL stuff.
A splash screen and maybe other colors for main-menu are also no big deal.
But please leave the rest alone. We are doing a HL map, so changing more is not at all necessary and would not add any value to the result.
Changing the HUD is easy, that's probably the reason why you want to that, but please don't do that.

Also I see some people planning big things that they might not be able to accomplish. Don't go over your abilities. Do your best, do the stuff you can do the best - everybody does that. (Man, that was a cheap sentence.)
Otherwise we end up with half the people saying "I'd have participated too, but I didn't finish my part."

Please don't forget the troubles we had with TWHLmix1.
