HL2 Modding skittlz?

[Vicious Horizon]

Ohaithar.

I was just wondering, what sort of modding skills do we have as a community for the Source Engine? I was sort of thinking of a mod, I'd be on Concept art and storyline etc. and I was thinking of asking some people around here to help out, it's just a few ideas at the moment, but any help would be good. I may have a mapper, but he's quite new, and I'm not sure if he's the right guy for the job at the moment..

So, got skittlz?

I think we're all quite new to the modding scene really. I know Chazlene has made some maps before using hammer, and Vox has dabbled at creating models and such.

I've always wanted to have a stab, but never actually tried .

Yeah, i'd join you, i'll be the guy who has all the ideas and takes half the credit.

No but seriously, i've dabbed in modeling and Oblivion modding. I'm going to uni in the summer to study game design so i'll probably be more help then .

[Chazlene]

Yeah I've made a few maps, but haven't done much in a while. I can also give skinning a go.

[D_K_Head]

er, level design, minor mapping, and I was thinking of looking at animation...

Funny thing is, DP and myself were looking at modding a few weeks ago

woops...

anyway I know a bit about hammer but theirs still a lot to learn, so wouldn't mind helping around summer.

[Target]

Well Chazlene has made some pretty goods maps for css and i seem to remember vox making some skins, i'm sure over the summer you might be able to sort some things out as ppl will hav more time

[Bloo]

I can make sarcastic comments and say you're doing it wrong!

Aside from that uhh, I've done some minor modding on the most cookie-cutter toolset ever to be created. So I'm not much use unless you need a creative advisor.

[Vicious Horizon]

Anything would be awesome, if I'm honest =D
I know this'll sound a bit odd, but I was sort of thinking of a mod based around Cloverfield, but obviously alot more action packed (It's Source fgs XD) and more awesome. I have some ideas floating around at the moment, any insight would be cool.

(I'm also thinking about multiplayer, if that's feasable =D)

[D_K_Head]

how would you do a camcorder style FPS where you never see the monster?

Unless you're thinking of a game based around escaping from a monster... Nothing creates tension like carrying an AK through a dark building knowing there's a huge monster outside that could smash through from the outside and block off an exit/try to kill you at any moment... and I can see some EPIC level plans for that sort of thing... sort of a really long, and slightly bigger version of blast pit.

[VoX]

2D artist here, can try and figure out stuff in terms of loading screens and if someone has any flash experience, it's probably quite easy to shove a menu together.

I may get into weapon textures, seems like texture guys are always needed.

DE has learnt/is learning some coding I think, and he mentioned learning source.

[D_K_Head]

How can a community have so many combined skills and still be as disfunctional as us?

Reminds me of the British goverment

[Darkeagle]

Yh im literally just starting to learn source, will take a while, but should have a good grasp of it by summer, so i wouldnt mind helping you.

[Vicious Horizon]

Great, sounds like everyone is pretty willing to help out

DK, My thoughts exactly, I was thinking rather than cam-corder, FPS, and you're trying to.. sorry, GET TO DA CHOPPA! at the end. But you go through a load of shit to get there etc. I was thinking, first 5-10 minutes you have no weapons, and you get chased by some mini-ones, (for now we can use Antlions) then you get in a building, missile hits monster, all you see is it fall into building you're in, you are like OMG and running away. Find a load of people and you fall over, dude helps you up, stuff goes on.

I've got tonnes more ideas atm, cba to type 'em up right now though. XD
