Silent Fear Created 16 years ago2007-11-21 12:42:01 UTC by Skals

Hi. I've been working on a project the last 7 days, its a Hl2 Map, Hopefully a mod. (Episode 2) What i've made so far, is only one Small Bit, And what i wanted is for some of you to please test it. if you'd like the idea and the way i made it, then i might go further with the Mod!

This mod takes place in a russian cargo ship, which is currently under attack by unknown forces. (No Spoilers) The Year is 1995, and you've been taken as a hostage by the russian c.c.c.p or the navy? hmm haven't decided yet.

What i also am looking for, is Finding some models (Animated and also ragdoll's) of Russian navy with ak-47 or something, and also zombies with weapons, like a spade or an axe, or a plank. yes a plank.

Oh and i also need a good tutorial, on how to make a zombie destroy a door / scripting a zombie.

Layout of what i have so far:Some Screenshots:

Change the name. The name "The Ship" has already been used for a mod for Source.

Screenshots are a bit small, but it looks nice though.

Dam. Couldnt u tell that in the shout box or something. i cant edit now -.-

Edit: Yeah, can u change the name of the topic to MyMod for the mo plz.

Whats the new name then.

How about, Silent Fear :/ uh.

Edit: Or how about Creeping Fear, or Stalking fear.

I don't know, its your mod, you decide.

Silent Fear Sounds better. And more closer to what im planning to make. TheShip was just some basic name i came up with in 5 secs.

So, Will you check out the map? plz

Update that white screenshot with the new name, and ill edit the thread title.

I will play it soon.

Oh shoot. There is an game_text entitie in the map witch says "The Ship" heh.

But... that's not such a big deal. I'll fix it l8er

See me after class.

The review is in the vault.

Blitzkrieg. The crowbar is hard to see/get on purpose. i don't wan't the player to run trough the game fastly. i want him to take his time trying to figure out what to do.

You see, it's impossible to destroy the breakalbe metal on the vent with a pistol. so the player will lose his ammo, and will get nothing out of it, So he/she will have to think of what to do. (if he didnt find the crowbar earlier) and eventually, he or she will find it and get further.

P.S: v1.2 is being uploaded right now!

New overwiev (It's a spoler! tell's you where to find stuff)blitz. What do you sugest about the starting area? whats so confusing, whats so bad? I think its good for the "client" to learn more and more about the "general character" alongst the way. it makes you wonder and think more. (that was the idea)

nothing from these screenshots makes me think "ship"

When doing your overviews, (that's how you spell it, by the way) draw the outline of your ship and fit the rooms inside, so you don't have a rediculous layout.

Okay. Did you check out the map.

The Year is 1995, and you've been taken as a hostage by the russian c.c.c.p or the navy?

and also zombies with weapons, like a spade or an axe, or a plank

Work on your story a wee bit more than 2 minutes. 1995 and the USSR doesn't match. And I doubt they had any zombies in the USSR army/special forces. (woo, zombies. original)

One of the main things a mod in development needs is good planning. That includes story too.

Btw, the font you're using for the name looks more suited for "Rick's American Cafe" than Silent Fear.

I meant the starting area doesn't make sense. I start in a corner in a hallway. Theres a door behind me. If I'm a hostage, then what the hell am I doing starting the game in a hallway?

A better starting area would be in the room with the bed and stuff, as if I were being kept there. Have a shake and explosion break a hole to have me escape and start my adventure.

Think about things more than once. It seems like you went with your first idea here.

Haha, i laughed out loud hehe.

Daubstar: Maybe i didnt explain the story that mutch, because i didnt want spoilers but ok here they are:

You have been captured by a group of russians who think your a spy. They knock you out and the next thing you know is your on a ship on your way to russia, tied up in a chair guarded. Fortunately, oh wait, zombies arent fortunate, well anyway: A mad scientist on the ship was experimenting on human mutation, and he infected some of his subjects with a desease thats said to give you super human strenght. unluckely the test subject's escaped and infectev the whole ship. the guards that guarded you runned away for a moment to check out something, while you escape.

It would be cool if i'd know how to make a movie like that. but i can't.

Blitz: well i could make that kind of a movie, and u start at the chair where u untied urself. But i need tuts on making scripts that serious.

Hunter:P.S. I'll add the chair room and more stuff when i wake up tomorow

Well, that explanation is a bit better, I guess.

I see you're using the militia bunk models. You can't release any CS:S models with HL2 maps unless the player has the gcf file. We had to make that particular model out of brushes for "The Citizen".

Ghett0wned:oh lol google images.

ghetto disregards your pathetic attempts at logic.

Kasperg what do u mean. Uh, this is an ep2 map, i use only hl2,ep1,ep2 models, and every single one of em works ingame.

Yeah it seems that those militia bunkbeds have been copied by Valve into the ep2 stuff!

Oh the beds, yeah! the only thing they changed is the color, this one is brown (militia one was black right?) but the matraces (is that how u spell it?) are the same.

P.S: I've edited the map again.

Ok, I didn't know.

Version 1.3 has been sucesfully uploaded.

updates: New Hallway, The First Npc, crowbar's location moved, pistols location moved.

The brush that blocks the vent is now break on physics, so to break it, youll have to get one of those chairs in the first aid room by pressing use pick it up and hit/smash the vent with it.

by pressing use

Thank god you said that, I had totally forgotten how to play Half-Life 2!

Anyway, I might check this map out on the weekend, though i'm not fond of testing out WIP SP maps, being as they are.

mattresses

Strider lol, tetsu0 mattresses? uh. o right.

Why keep releasing different versions of the same bloody map. Just complete the damn thing and update the neccessary parts later.

Something wrong with u?

Edit: Im gona make all the rooms look more "Ship like" by adding arches like these:If any 1 else has any better ideas / photos: plz post

I just uploaded sf 1.4... didnt really do much... Havent been mapping that mutch lately.

Making the white walls and the floor texture (white with green tiles) complete with shaders, normal maps and what not should'nt be that hard to make though.

I've already found the textures for that. And if i get new models, where do i get em from duh :/

You'd probably have to make them

Your going to make your arches look like a janitor? Damn, good luck with that.

LOL. ok, i have no experience in modeling

Please refer to Goldeneye, Metal Gear Solid 2, Sin Episodes: Emergence, or some other good game with a ship level in it before designing the interior. It'll look a hundred percent better.

Okay.
