HL2 Mod - Team Needed Created 19 years ago2005-03-05 21:22:38 UTC by Zemic

Demise Of Terra

Demise of terra is a Half-Life 2 modification that I would like to pursue on making. The theme of the mod is fantasy/supernatural that deals with the idea of Heaven and Hell. It takes place on earth  in the near future (2010). The weapons and item and such are modern but with little upgrades to them. There are 3 teams in total witch is Team 1: Heaven, Team 2: Hell and Team 3: Earth. You will be able to pick witch team you want to on then select a character from that team.

Teams

Team 1 is the Heaven team. You will be able to select your person from a list. On the heaven team the characters are angels that you will be able to pick from. Each character has different abilities. These angels are not you regular angels. They are heavens warrior angels (Arc Angels). They will appear to look human but are not. They have the ability to open there wings and fly at will. They also have a heavenly glow to them as well witch the cannot control. This will display how strong or weak he is.

Team 2 is the hell team. In this team you will select a character of a demon from hell. These demon are ruthless creatures who have been locked up in hell for centuries. They finally escaped the gates of hell and are running on earth now. The only thing is that they do not look like you think they would. One alive they are only a spirit that you can only fill with a certain gun. What they have to do is seek out other life forms that are on earth and posses them. It could be an animal or a human. Once they posses the body they will start to mutate and form there a real body that they can do some damage in. Depending on what the spirit takes either animal or human it will mutate into that form. For example if the spirit takes the form of a dog it will start to mutate into a dog looking features.

Team 3 is the earth team who are trying to kill the demon team. In this earth team there are to different type of people. The first type is the secret government agents, and the other type are the churches secret hunting team. Depending on witch of them you pick you can have there powers. So lets say you pick the church guys, you will be able to heal other wounded players and such things like that. If you pick the government agent they only have super weapons and very high and good technology.

Objectives

For team one the objective is to save the earth from its demise. They team up with the humans to help save the earth. When they find a corrupted/tainted spot they must fix it before it spreads more. So that means they have to work together and watch each others back.

For team 2 they have to concur earth. They will do this by going around and looking for the best place they think would be good to taint it. They must taint as much as possible in order for them to win. When they taint an area everything around it will die and little demons will pop out at random and will try to kill everything and everything.

Team 3 is the exact same thing as team one. They have to save the earth from the demons.

Weapons, Vehicles & Items

They will all be modern-day but with some upgrades and add-ons and such. I have not get a list yet of what I want to use at the moment but it will be a wide wrong from Shotguns to Rifles and such. There will be a few vehicles that you will be able to use. The demon team will not be able to use them. In the games there will items and special things you can use to improve the game and yourself.

Special Features
There is going to be a few cool and neat features I would like to get into this mod. One of them is the ability to posses another life form, also is to upgrade your self with armor, weapons and stuff like that. Also I would like to add a profile system to save your character for that one server. There will be a number of special features but I am not going to list them all.

That?s just about it for the mod. I have just came up with the idea today and am looking forward to make it. I will now tell you guys a little about myself.

About Me

My name is Steven. I am 16 years old and my birthday is October 5. I love FPS games just love Half-Life 2 Was a huge fan of Half-Life and still am. I live in Canada, Ontario I am currently in grade 11. I like to listen to rock music and I also play the drums.

I am a webmaster. I know the coding of websites but not the design. I am teaching my self how to use Photoshop witch I am alright at I guess. I am also teaching my self to map with hammer witch also I am ok at. I want to start learning to model as well but I am having trouble doing that. I have been coding sites for a few years not. I took HTML in school and also learned Visual Basic but not a pro at it. I also learned a bit of flash as well.

For this project I will be the webmaster and leader. I am hopping to get a good skilled willing team to help me out on this. There is no pay for anyone, it is all being done for free. I am in full need of a team. I think its fair for me to tell you I have no experience in leading a mod team but I am willing to give it a try. In general I Think I am a good leader but we will find out.

This is not the final idea. I am working on the final idea as we speak. Thats just the theme and style and stuff for the mod.

I also have a few members now.

SOunds, lets say, very interesting.

Kinda like a Constantine type of game.

Yes sorta. The funyn thing is i got the idea before i seen the movie, then i just seen it the other day and i was like wow this sorta sounds like my mod.

Sounds very interesting.

Have you seen Constantine IEMC? Is it any good?

yes i have seen Constantine. But what is IEMC??

AAARRRGHGHG!! Didn't wo, it standfs for I i eat monkey chow.

This mod seems politically incorrect. I am not willing to commit to a mod until I know it will go somewhere.

Well first for it to go somewhere i need to get team members now dont I.

IEMC is me.

And no, i havnt seen Constantine.

Very best of luck, sounds very interesting, Steven. One thing - it's "which" ;).

If you don't manage to glean enough talent here, I'd try over at places like the VERC and the Snarkpit.

Ok I will head over there and post a message there and see who is interested.

One thing - I personally reckon that Demise de Terra would be better. If they see "of" they're more likely to think "terror" when they see the next word if they don't know it well.

Hmm, interesting point.

So why would de bet better??

Because 'terra' sounds (is) Romantic, as does 'de'. Latin, Spanish, Italian, etc.

Just my opinion.

Sounds interesting but if your going to allow the angels to fly, then you can't have buildings with nodraw on top because the players will see this and cause more lag.

Just make them go so high.

what is nodraw??

How can you run a mod if you don't know what nodraw is :S

It's the name of a texture that VIS ignores and does'nt render which saves compiling time and less lag.

You mainly use them on places that the player does'nt see to reduce lag!

Zemic: Master hammer (or programming, or modeling, whatsoever your area within the mod will be), then make a mod.
Get some content (screens, anyone) to attract team members.

That could be an Idea!

*would

Well right now my main area is websites and stuff. I am also learning to map.

I could help out if you reall y needed me email me at: blackravent@lycos.com with some details.

It's the name of a texture that VIS ignores and does'nt render which saves compiling time and less lag.

VIS doesn't ignore it, it's just discarded during BSP.
