I know some damn good sound resources, Pep.. Tell me, whatcha need. :)

And Saco is in Chapter4, he made the 1st map. Once I'm done with my section - he'll send me his part and I'll put it all together.

I'm about 40% done with the last map. Some complex sequences in the end, so this might take awhile. I want perfection ;)

Ok, listen up team.. I know I have disappointed you guys, and just wanted to say, I'm sorry, especially to Hunter, and Saco. (Saco, for other reasons in the past)

Unb, do you still have your city map? If you do, i might continue its development as the second map of the first chapter.

Hs4d encountered some problems (mostly missing brushes).
I think, that I might have split the map in two, if I don't sort those problems out. :(

i love it Gargly. A coupl'a things to fix/add

1) the list
.: Team members: :.
The Hunter - Mod leader, level design MuzzleFlash - Level design, coder Pepper - new models Chickenfist - Level design Daubster - Level design M_Gargantua - Level design
Needs something seperating the members

2) put hostagesituation@weebitmagic.com in the contact list.
(i'm setting up a mail account with my domain tonight)

3) put the chapter 5 video in the media section

4) Is that a free host? If so, let me host it with my domain... It'd be something like
www.HostageSituation.weebitmagic.com

Oh, and you forgot Saco in the developers section.

Anyways - the site look quite clean. Nice stuff!

WE ARE NOT USING A FREE HOST >_<

i know weebitmagic has a gay name, but it cost a lot and i'm not wasting it!!!

Posted 18 years ago2006-04-19 16:01:53 UTC Post #175294
the domain is www.weebitmagic.com (EVERYTHING was taken)

the HS one will either be

www.hostagesituation.weebitmagic.com or www.hlhs.weebitmagic.com

Posted 18 years ago2006-04-19 16:04:52 UTC Post #175297
Alright, so a subdomain.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-19 16:11:46 UTC Post #175302
Why don't try to get some HL site to host you?
Such as planet halflife, moddb, hl2files,, etc, there are loads

its not a sub-domain!!!!

weebitmagic is mine!!!
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-19 18:11:58 UTC Post #175344
it still has a gay name though.

why not weebitmagic/hostage situation since you own the entire thing

nvm...it is a stupid sub domain, weebit magic is a hosting site.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-20 03:33:30 UTC Post #175454
..wtf!?

www.weebitmagic.com is my domain. Yes it has a gay name, but my father named it.

if you want, i can do weebitmagic/&lt;name&gt;, but i thought you would prefer &lt;name&gt;.weebitmagic.

it is NOT a hosting site :

IX webhosting is the company that we bought it from, and as of yet there is no content on weebitmagic, so it shows a construction page with a bunch of IX webhosting ads.

FFS! just take my word for it. it is NOT a sub-domain, it DOES have a gay name but is it really a problem?! its fast, reliable and has a very VERY large ammount of space, perfect for our mod.

Also, you remember the name weebitmagic, which i think was the reason for my dad choosing it...
He wasn't gonna pay for half of it (which he is doing now) if it was called www.hostagesituation.com because he wants use of the domain too.

NOT a sub-domain
NOT a hosting site

yes, the HS part will be a sub-domain, but weebitmagic itself is mine.

I hope that cleared up your doubts :/

weebitmagic sounds like a webcomic or a flash cartoon name to me.

'nice that stuff is happening. Unlike my mod. I have to clean up all the dust that has settled down in the halls while i was modelling. :zonked:

Is there an enstimatied time on this mod yet? any deadlines or is it just floating around?

No deadlines. Tons of work still to be done though.

Y'know, i should make a thread for modding tips, basic advice . I have quite a bit to say from what i've learned recently.

Screen shots are important to hold your crowd. I give off as much as i can, but since the demo is near, i cut my audience off to build some tension, then the demo will release and people will get it with higher interest.

EDIT:

what? since when was i involved? what do i do?

you helped for a bit ages ago.. Like, you were apparantly going to do chapter 4 (but decided not to) and i seem to remember you said you would help with some small stuff. Although i haven't asked anything from you, i might in the future and its nice to pre-credit :P

Unless of course you're totally opposed to providing help for the mod?
I don't know how to say this, but i just got news that i'm moving, plus i got college right after all that. so i'm gonna have minimal time for atleast a few weeks. I was told about this a few months ago but i didn't remember. I'll let you know if i can turn anything up.

On the other hand, i can support you guys with textures, graphics, etc. It's not a complete loss. Just keep me posted on your progress.

hum, Im so close to finishing.

whats left:
a hallway
half a room
the elevator room
a small connecting map.

but Im stuck on the elevator room becuase my entire plan for the gameplay in that area is the fact that a bradley is on the lift platform, but I can't get the turret right. no matter what I do.

anyone wanna assist

Todo list for me:

Create animations for the mk-23, the FAMEA S.A.F. and the uzi.
Finish texturing the UZI.
Get new sounds.
Compile it all and make sure it works.
Make sure the akimbo animations dont screw up big time.
New muzzle sprites.
Bring democracy to Cuba.

Todo List:
Finish the 1st section of tunnels for a tram.
Finish a big freight elevator area (it's supposed to carry the tram, although it will be broken, and there will be grunts all over, so you'll have to clear the way yourself. I might add a little puzzle there)
Finish the 2nd section of tunnels for the tram.
Final corridor.
Put Saco's & my maps together.
Fix bugs in hs4b, hs4c

Not the shortest, although I should be done in ~1 week.
