I remembered a song that i wanted to put into any mod that i made but never did :(

It was called Linken Park - From the Inside

It is a nice song and would go great with credits!!!!

Think about it ;)

Sounds neat!

I hope your mod does well because at first i thought this mod was never going to be done but it seems you have planned it out quite well and you will SUCCEED!

25% done?! I somehow doubt that. I'm sorry I'm such a slow mapper guys - I usually delete 50% of what i originally map due to better ideas that come up along the way.

I will be finishing up that little section I have done now, and getting started on another section of underground tunnel. I'll probably have around 6 of those to connect together like legos, with a few other unique parts interspersed to keep it from looking mundane.

Then I have to perfect the truck ride in, then lay down the patrolling guards, and make sure things run smoothly.

I would say my portion of the map is about.......2% done at best. lol.

Nice work on the site, Hunter. It feels pretty cool to see your name on a website!

I can code that. :) Just the ordinary Otis from OppFor?

<quote>we need a better way of communication</quote>
Agree, our current forum is crap. Im sorry.

Some tips for you guys:
  • Make use of texture lighting!
  • Use the new ZHLT 3.0!

I can provide you guys with a forum if you like. I would be glad to help out. :)
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-16 07:15:42 UTC Post #90993
I read that the next ZHLT (3.0) is actually buggy at the moment!

'The Hunter'

Hey no problem, i like to support you guys, it means that you will get the job done!

Why can't all mod leaders be like you eh :)

@diesel_power, A Chatbear forum?

@habboi: The ZHLT 3.0 works fine for me. I use it because it has switchable texture lighting, but it looks like ordinary light entities, so it needs some more tweaking.

What kind of bugs anyway?

Posted 19 years ago2005-02-16 13:52:08 UTC Post #91049
Started on Chapter 1 yesterday. It will be a cinematic sequence map, nothing playable. It will be like an introduction to the mod. I'll have screens soon. :)

@muzzleflash

No, but I have got a site where a forum is built-in and I ain't using it for anything so maybe you guys can use a part if you like.

check: www.unknownworld.org < that's my site. :)
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-16 14:46:23 UTC Post #91068
Hmmmm, we can use that site as out official Mod site. What do you think, The Hunter?
The Mad Carrot The Mad CarrotMad Carrot
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-16 16:49:25 UTC Post #91080
Ok, the custom code is added. That includes:
  • Otis from OppFor.
  • Dynamically Resizing Models. (I needed that for my Chapter.)
  • Customizable HUD color. (Has nothing to do with the mod, its just a funny extra.)
Hope thats ok with you guys?

Thanks.

There is just one more issue with Otis. He doesn't get mad when you shoot/kill another Otis, Barney or Scientist. I'll figure that out tomorrow.

*Countdown till official game screenshots are released*

2 day! w00t! everything is lookin SWEET! craig still has to show me his but the others are awsome! muzzleflash's building is BEAUTIFUL! its fantastic i tell ya!
Marfry, working on chapter 6 has given a few ideas of his but no actual screenshots yet....
Im currently tweaking up hs5b_beta and adding a bit of HL2 style wreckage :D
ColdFeet, working on chapter 3 has proved once again that prefabs can rule the earth with his awsome truck/trick/track tunnel.
And finally, Mercenary, working on chapter 2 has a great idea for his part...

The hs.wad is looking well on my side of the story... havent really seen much of the other textures....

And finally,
Special thanks to habboi for being our news slut and spreading the word by accident... Those screenshots will arrive in your inbox shortly

If you need any extra industrial-y vent or machinery textures or any institutional building-y textures, let me know - I've got a personal stockpile of high quality (5mpixel) reference photos for texture art which you can have.
