Please contribute your skills to this idea!

--THE IDEA--

Hello! I would like to make a fresh proposal for my new HL1 mod idea.
I alread have The Killer working with me so I only need three people.
The SP mod, Hostage Situation, will consist of six chapters that each contain two maps. Each person involved will make a chapter and we will all make the sixth.
I am currently setting up a website that will be used by the people involved to upload their latest stuff and also to exchange ideas.

--THE MOD--

An un-official army (probably modded marines) will be creating some sort of secret weapon and using captured scientists for the manufacturing part. Gordon gets a message from Kleiner who has been captured, informing him of the siruation.

--THE CHAPTERS--

1. "Home sweet home." (Gordon is homesafe when he recieves a MESSEGE from doctor kleiner who informs him that the marines are holding hostages and using them for evil slave labour.)

2. "Finding old buddies." (Gordon goes in search of barney to help him on his difficult mission.)

3. "Rescue party." (Enter the abandoned military base and find Kliener and the others.)

4. "Bigger problem." (The hostages inform you that they had made a nuclear device. Barney takes the hostages back home.)

5. "It shouldn't take less than a minute." (You go to find who is in charge and where the nuclear warhead is being kept.)

6. [all mappers work on it] (Gordon of course finds G-man who laughs manically before entering a teleport that then disappears. You are left with a countdown of a minute to find and destroy the launching program)

Some of the things you said like 'You are left with a countdown of a minute to find and destroy the launching program' sounds hard!

Think you can do it? or get others to do it?

I would love to help but i deleted my hammer 3.5 and only map for source now which is a shame as i cannot help the people who still map for good ol HL1.

When you decide to make a mod for HL2, then i will help you!

Good Luck

or get others to do it?

Do it yourself or don't do it.

habboi: That could easily be made with a multi_manager.

Ok well lets ask 'The Hunter'

Can you do all of the things that you wrote?

You will not get your "just deserves". You will get your "just desserts".

everyone hates me :'(

Its not you, its everyone. Everyone is too cynical with "New Mod" Posts

It's true.

Hehe, actually, i kinda like the idea. Sound like a mod that doesn't take years to build.

I mighty be interested...

I dont hate you and i dont think that you cannot do this mod! its just that you have to plan before dreaming

IV BEEN PLANNING FOR THREE MONTHS !!!!!!!!

Iv been searching and creating tests to see if i can do some of the things i originally thought of.. Everything in that list is only half of what i originally had in mind...

Im sorry...

Also, I really admire the following people's work ( i admire all the monkeys and more as well but u guys are all busy) anyway, if any of the following could help then i will be eternaly greatful...

saco
rend0us
Mercenary
satchmo

I highly recommend Muzzle's services if he's offering them - and thanks.

saco? Roflmao. (no offense)

That isn't very nice zombie!

Everyone here is equal ok OKKKK!!

Yeah, Loffe, you should know better points at av :P.

sniff seventh ur so.... so... so nice... sniffle sniffle snort

Oh please, communism doesn't say about treating mappers equally.

..sigh... come on ppl... just 1 more person

I might be interested... but I'm not sure I'll have time... school spit

Have you tried posting on other forums?

that would be the easy way.. im too stupid for that ;P

May I offer my services? I am not the most experienced mapper, but I am anal when it comes to details, layout, and flow.

brilliant! that'll be 5 then..
If people could still send their ideas on this post it would be much appreciated

no.. wait i lie... thats four.. my right-hand-man just got run over :(.. i need 1 more..

At the moment -

1. Me
2. Killer
3. Mercenary
4. coldfeet
5. ______

When you say ideas, do you mean as to gameplay, level layouts, puzzles, etc etd?

Tell you what, just so I don't ruin your SP mod - I will be as involved as I can, but if my mapping skills aren't up to the standard you'd like, feel free to remove me from the team. I don't have any big projects done, lately I've been searching for that "cool idea".

right.. well im very happy for u to be part.. and im sure you wont ruin it

the site is up btw

This is great, I am very excited. I'm all registered - and I think Chapter 3 sounds like "me".

good god. iv never seen someone with so much enthusiasm

Heh, I'll take that as a compliment.

THIS TIME.

^^

Sorry if i sound rude but i noticed you said 'good god. iv never seen someone with so much enthusiasm'

Take time to type, it should be:

'Good God, I have never seen someone with so much enthusiasm.'



Good Luck on your Mod as well

Thanks habboi, I can't wait to get started. I realize 99% of these mods never even get started/finished, and I hope this isn't one of them. I am ready to start brainstorming!

SIGH! MY TEAM IS NOT!!!! MY RIGHT-HAND MAN GOT HIT BY A CAR SO WE'RE SHORT 1 PERSON AND MERCENARY SEEMS TO HAVE DISSAPPEARED! :'( !!!

Come on guys.. 1 more person.. register on the site and we shall begin!

How is he? Not hurt badly, I hope?

This mod sounds like crap...

Wow, hit by a car. That sucks.

Well I have a few ideas for my portion, I'm going to start writing down ideas and get a rough draft made - I'll post them as soon as they are completed.

My room mate accidentally departitioned my hard drive thinking it was my secondary, so it will take me awhile to get my system reloaded and back up and running how I like it.

Please join, as long as a few of us are determined, we can make something pretty cool.

@mulleboy - Why? Leave us some constructive criticism.

.... lol. stupid roomate targets heat seeking rocket launcher

And yes, Craig is fine. He is stable in hospital but has badly hurt his hip and broken his arm... Not useful for a mapper.
I bet it was mulleboy driving the car...

No wait.. i dont.. cos the car did brake... if it was mulleboy it would have accelerated

<quote> highly recommend Muzzle's services if he's offering them</quote>

Hehe. All right then. Im offering.

yay! grabs by throat and threatens with gun YOU HADB ETTER PERFORM BOYO! u serious?

Well, i added you on MSN, so yeah, im serious.

Heck yeah! This is going to be so...funnnnn.

Well after spending 2 hours finding decent data recovery software, I spent another 8 hours retrieving my music and reorganizing it - all my old Half-Life maps are GONE though. I'm not spending $200 on software that will actually extract my data for me - I can only open it with what I have. So I'm going through all my pictures, music, etc, opening it in Media Player, Photoshop, etc and resaving it on my secondary hard drive. Man, so slow - but things have never been so organized!

Great thing is, I just started school again, and that means fat financial aid check. Seems there was a mistake with money last semester, so I have an extra $5000 laying around for ... drum roll ... A SHINY NEW TOP OF THE LINE COMPUTA!!!

Shopping ThinkEgg and TigerDirect now, piecing it together. My old PC will be up and running in a few days, I've already thought of a few ideas for my portion.

I vote we use Spirit for this, so that way some of the features we want to include will be a little bit easier, and I want to be able to add Barney as a sidekick to tag along and help in a few of these chapters.

Glad to have ya' aboard MuzzleFlash. I was checking out some of the level designs for Nightshift (that HL1 mod that's been in development for....ever) and holy crap. That's where I'm going to aim level of quality in my mapping.

You mean NightWatch?

Its gonna be awesome. Can't wait to play it.

Im actually not so sure about using Spirit... Im sorry.

Yeah, silly me - NightWatch. No Spirit? Any particular reason why? I haven't mapped with it yet, but it looks really cool.

I have zero experience with Spirit. I know its 1000 times more advanced then the original, so, lets just stick with the original.

Its all up to The Hunter to decide.

Ah I see. I was under the impression it was the same, but with some additional features added.

... i dont think it'll be wise to use spirit.. deep water there... I think the best idea is for all of us to first choose our chapter ( 5 & 3 are taken) and then maybe make a few betas and idea maps for specific sections. I have built a really good looking machine that took well over five hours and it would suit a laboritory area fantastically... so i was thinking that gordon could find the scis in a lab... working on this machine thingie.. im sorry to boast but it looks sweeeeet!
