I can work on a text file adventure for Half-Life 2. I think I know what theme I can give it.
If I may wade in however, why not start with something more simple at first to see how you work with one another? Try making a singleplayer map or a map pack even. If you jump in with both feet and start a total conversion I guarantee it will fall apart before you even start seriously working on it.How about a txt-story mod similar to my CIVO mod then? I thought it would work really well with switching between the game and a text file.
That or we can do a mod like the famous one influenced by Marathon? (Text on the screen like an overlay terminal) I can work on a very simple story for it.
The mod that I had in mind isn't a multiplayer one. I don't have HL2 DM and can possibly not get to it either. Which is sad since I wanted to make a multiplayer mod sometimes.
Also I don't think the 2004 sdk has a "2 fps" problem since it's for an old Visual Studio build. And the lucky thing with being an Xbox homebrewer is that it comes with Visual Studio 2003.
Don't know where to get it otherwise. If you want to make a 2004 mod that is.
And can Source coding.

All I can is simple cartoon styles like the one I already have.
(These are not part of the mod btw) The models I will make would be like the ones in my Segment series but a bit better. And the coding of the mod (If I must code) won't be too complex so the AI would be simple.
Also altho it's a mod, I also decided to make it an home-brew game for my modifiable Xbox game engine so I would rather have the Xbox game better than the mod. If the engine gets made. (Stuck on programming collision) So if you want to give out a new concept for it then go ahead.
The mod concept was also featured in a video in Segment 3 if interested.

Whats your mod idea meerjel01?A total conversion mod for Source. Something really simple of course. Had the idea of making a cartoon mod with custom models, textures and entities.
Has to be built in an older engine version tho since I don't buy new stuff from Steam. (Tho it can possibly run on the 2006 build)
Maybe I, but I barely have the time. The idea for a mod but not the time.
EDIT:
I can probably join in anyway cause I might be lying about not having time.

Gonna try work on this a bit and hope someone comes by to help. I'm gonna use the source code for the cst to make a custom vrad compiler that can make lightmaps appear correctly.

Looking the mod up on YouTube brings me back.

It isn't a dumb question if one is new to it all really.
The screenshots gives me Timesplitters 2 Industrial Tileset vibes. Maybe because I'm listening to its theme right now.
EDIT:
If this wasn't a horror game then it might fit in as a Timesplitters themed mod. (At least not 100% horror as TS had some of it there)

It's a texture feature in the engine.

The cross at the top of the mountain in the last pic is somewhat fooling me into thinking it's Rio. (Forgot how Rio looks like)

You don't need to rush on this cause I can keep myself occupied for awhile. I don't think you have to do anything to the light baking cause if you look at the research repo the bsp lumps are different from the original. I think it's that you have to do when you or someone else will get to this.
Yes it might have been removed. But the Xbox research repo on the top might give someone a clue how to work with making custom tools. Isn't the CSTs open sourced? Cause that would be a good start I think.
You're a programmer I believe and might be interested in working on this. (Unless you have too much to do like everyone else)

They made their own bsp and rad tools(And maybe vis) from the Sin Episodes SDK. Yes the cst tools works too but there's no lightmapping in the Xbox version.

Segment 3
This segment has a video showcasing an old map I want to test in the console. It's called tesrt.

Since access to the discord server was removed.
Can someone work with compiler tool source codes here? I still can't let go of the vanishing of the Xbox tools so I would want someone to work on new ones.

I wish I could do it but I'm not an extreme programmer yet. It's deniable but a good challenge to do this. And maybe if I'm not gonna use it then someone else might have use of it.
Pretty please?

Maybe it wanted you to be more creative? Limits gives more creativity after all.
I'm gonna change the mappack into a mod if it's difficult running the game. I also need to update something as well.
Heavy is Xbox Series S!Funny people
Yeah. Better than everything made in today's industry.
Yeah.. But there's still burn-able discs on stores so the harm isn't completely done.
Sure I get my DVDs from someone else so I don't know the rareness of them.

I'm gonna put up my work as zip files with videos in them for old times sake. It's limited, but I want to do it.

I mean it wasn't that bad downloading all the videos to watch them. You can actually re-watch them later then! Now I wish Google Videos was viewable. So much has been lost.

I've made a steam mod for this using the SourceRuns engine so if someone wants to take a look at the maps themselves then pm me so I can give it to some trust worthy people.
Was my CIVO mod playable and did someone follow the story? Just want to know if someone did play it and did the story as it should be told like.
Thank you.Making a cartoony total conversion in Source might be easier than I thought.
Source is quite easy to make mods on. As long as no one takes it too seriously and do what they can.

It sucks that I can't publish the model. Toxic people exists everywhere (Not saying this place only have bad people again cause toxic people are everywhere on the internet) so I'm more lucky with 2D sprites in 3D worlds and Unity made games. Tho I never have the will to work on any.
I'm still a 3DS developer and had a game in mind but can't stay focused on it. But it's better with no toxicity from nothing than toxicity from something I guess.

I got it to work with a root bone. Very great
EDIT:
Updated with a video of Gift (An oc of mine) walking in Sweden.(Can C++ but can't understanding TWHL site code in comments)
EDIT2:
Don't know how blending in Source works but I did some gestures for Gift. Also her model needs to be remade.

I tried making an animated model with a walk cycle and got stuck in the root bone process. It can be cause the original root bone (Or bip01 that is the father of all bones) merges with the pelvis when the model compiles right?
I could get a model to walk to a destination in the beta engine but in the retail the model teleports to its destination even with 1 forward walk animation. It's the older engine yes but it might not have changed as much with the current releases.
Just some interesting discoveries to share here.

I have a DVD player that I use to view my burned DVDs.
Civo isn't the only map series that I had planed. There's also something called Maran which is (Obviously) Marathon related/based.
I can't make custom entities so I had to skip enemy combat all together for this one and go over with puzzle solving instead.

I made a cowboy mutant for some sort of Lovecraft related mod.
(The mouth bone is completely wrong tho)
When I go back to the mod then I'll replace this guy with something more original.

Ok so the CIVO project files wasn't gone and I can go back to where I ended. If someone has something to say about my mappack then go ahead and comment on the vault item, I'm eager.
Apparently I lost the vmf's for Civo so I have to remake the thing. Gives out some possibilities but I'm also very lazy. Can someone please find the Xbox tools for me? I know some of the homebrewers names.
tjd2 and chipsnapper is the only ones I know tho. Maybe toothpaste-hair as well.

HL2 custom maps are possible cause of Valve's mod friendliness. No matter what platform they would possibly keep the game moddable.
The compiler tools had Xbox 360 specific commands even. Heck, even the PS2 Half-Life 1 was modifiable.

EDIT:
Well custom mapping on the original Xbox is more limited when one have to depend on old or custom compilers.
Here's one of the modders doing progress on this.

I'm gonna show my Source maps that was meant for the Xbox version here. I'm not gonna upload them (Maybe not yet) but I'm gonna show them to people anyway.

What will happen to this thread/topic then?
Can't look up the map in-game cause this probably demands ep1-2. But the screenshots shows that it looks nice.
