Seaching for a Coder for Counter-Strike Created 14 years ago2010-02-19 21:47:26 UTC by Rirre

Hi,

I've try find a coder which have knowledge in HL1 SDK, in 2 years now, but there is too few of such people today.
Anyway, this project is about new entities and monsters (Co-op) to Counter-Strike 1.6.
Very familiar to Sven Co-op (v3.0)
A project already exist which can do this MonsterMod by Botman.
But, these (the monsters) act really stupid and in need of a new developer.
Botman have left this project. Last update was 2002.
Last time I've heard from Botman was in April, 2004.
And I would like to bring back with a better version.

The reason why I want to bring this to Counter-Strike 1.6 is because I like it. And I've play around with Botman's MonsterMod in it, I really enjoy it.
Except from these problems the monsters have.

Examples of the problems:
1) If you stay behind a wall, and its able to reach the player just if the monster want to go around the corner. But it won't, its just idling there until the player move straight to it.

2) Monsters get knocked backwards if you shoot them. Every hit.

3) If you keep shoot them when they play the death sequence, they just disappear.

I hope someone have any interest and would like to work with me.
I'm reachable via MSN, e-mail and Steam Friends.
Just leave me a PM.
Thanks.

There's a guy on the AlliedModders forum who have made an unofficial version of MonsterMod with many improvements. You'll have to search for it, I haven't been there for years.

Named Bend3R?
He have quit develop on it because of he get nothing in return and he is too busy with his current job, did he told me for about 1 year ago.

Yes, it was Bend3R I think.

Sure huntey,
don't know the difference between Sven Co-op and Left 4 Dead?
If not, no need to reply to this thread for games you haven't play or heard about.

Actually, I was a big fan of Sven Co-op back in the day.

Just sayin' L4D is effectively coop Counter-Strike. That's how it started. The devs played CSS versus bots just armed with knives.

And why not just play Sven Co-op then?

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but making a mod for cs 1.6 just isn't something people are willing to invest their time in these days. A very, very small number of people would play it, and as such no coder is going to bother wasting their time on it.
No offense to yourself; just laying down the facts.

Plus, the source code for CS was never released, so there's really nothing to mod. Not for CS anyway.

Using Metamod, Metamod-P or AMX Mod X you can create server-side mods for any Half-Life mod.

Just sayin' L4D is effectively coop Counter-Strike.

Oh man! This is just like Counter Strike!

People will go for Sven Coop over this.

Sorry but with that and all the other coop games on the market, this already seems outdated.

We're not trying to be down on you, it's just that it'd be hard to find anyone willing to work on this, because the audience is so limited.
If you do it for CS:S and add some interesting twist, you might be able to find a coder and an audience.
