James Isaac Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I have now learnt how to make some quite good maps for Half Life. So, if anypone could help me, we could miake a GF Half Life mod. I coukld do the maps. Someone else do the textures (cause i'm not very good), and someone else do the mod part. Anyone want to help?

Sallim Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Uha nice idea! I cant do anything for you , sorry, but Iam very waiting for this gf mod =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Yeah, great idea. I can't help you, but I wish you a luck. And as Sallim I am waiting for your project. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Sounds interesting, what gameplay are you aiming for? If you're really interested in getting the mod off the ground, you should plan everything down to the finest detail on paper first, before you start mapping, modeling, etc. If you need help with this, give me a shout .

Sallim Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 My project now is Tierra 3d And iam workin on iot but it go slow steps, beacuse of many different things that happen. But soon <ou will see again a little result =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 OK. I was thinking of maybe action/adventure gameplay. You will be able to die. Maybe there will be fights with scythes and sprouters. And there will be some puzzle solving aswell. BUT. Do you guys think i should do it from someonme else's POV. Like maybe, you could play the game as Domino - then it won't be boring for people who have already completed GF, and it will reveal new stuff?? What do you think? I still need help with certain parts though. And i am going to host all the news about this and stuff on my GF website once it is up - to bost its popularity.

Grim_comician Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 My project that hasn't set up yet is Half-life mod called Cruise-life. It makes you experience some unlikely things that often happens like in real world: Train ride, fire drill etc. No enemies, but maybe weapons to experiment with. Almost like "1986". I would help you if I had any mapping skills with Worldcraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It would be better with newer characters, made in GF Calavera stylee. Also a big arsenal of Sproutella weapondry, like an exploding sprout bomb (Grenade) or a flower launcher (RPG). What would be really cool would be a multiplayer GFHL, with different calaveras to play as and that. I'm afraid I can't really do much to the project except maybe a storyline or textures or something (Which I'm not amazingly good at). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 How about LSA Agents vs Hectors gangsters. With what Sanspoof said, loads of different guns. It could be basically the same as TFC, with different classes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 great idea. No help from here I would sujest to make the story taking place from the time manny has left the 8th underworld. Probably Eva or another trying to "wipe" out all the rest "bad people" from el marrow and then travelling to the other cities to help there also...

James Isaac Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Mmm hhhmmmm. Yeah, I agree that there should be lots of weapons. I will add them in aswell. Just because they weren't shown in GF doesn't mean they didn't exist. ?Maybe I will work on multiplayer first, then story? Oh yeah, and by the way, I am going to make this for Half Life 2 as it is so amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Now you're on the right track. Half-Life, awesome as it is, is old and busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Being a lowly Brit, I haven't got HL2 yet! but it's basically the same interface as HL1, right? But... what about the Snarks? Those cute little aliens that just adore human flesh? How can you turn them into a green, mean sproutin' machine? Hopefully if this mod is created HL2 won't need an update to play multiplayer like the original! Ugh. Hey, here's an idea: In every player model, hide a flower model that appears to sprout out of their chest/head/arm/leg/other. That'll be cool!

Westy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 The biggest hurdle i cant see in this mod is LucusArts its self. As soon as they hear about it, they'll probably close it down. Other than that, you can count me in. I could model some characters and weapons. I dont remember having to update HL to play multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hey, that's great if you can do the modelling, becuase I can't And HL2 isn't out anywhere yet. It was just delayed to Novemer 2003. And I remember a HL mod based on Monkey Island. It was called Plunder 3D. But it seems to have disappeared But, I can't use the Software Development Kit for HL2 yet, beucaes it isn't released. But I will try to think mroe about a story.

Westy Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Heres a render of a lamp from my current project, just to show i cant do all this 3d stuff Also heres a render of a standard Sproutella. Its far from finished, only about an hours work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 That's a great Sproatella gun. It's looking good. And remember, you can see most of the models in Grim Fandango with ScummRev and the model viewer. But they aren't that great anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 How about fighting arenas like The streets of El Marrow or The Petrified Forest ? You could have Demon models to replace the HL aliens too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeah. For the singleplayer it can be a story that takes you through loads of places. And multiplayer can be in some of the places you went through, but with all the exits bordered off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadeus Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I don't think LucasArts would care if you weren't selling it. I'm not sure if they could do anything about it anyway, not that we'd want to get the GFN on LucasArts' bad side...But really I don't think they'd care. Aside from that, in Multiplayer mode, you should have many character's available like Chowchilla Charlie, Hector, and possibly the Johnny Thunder boys... You should use ScummRev and get the sounds too. This will be awesome if you guys do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yeah that'd be cool. You could probably make some custom sounds for like LSA agents (Army Gear) and Hector's Mob (Expensive Suits). Who'll be the voice actors though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangoman Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 well... I guess i can do some voice acting if you want.. I really hope this project will be finished, i mean, everbody who own HL has sometimes thought about making their own mod but very few mods are really made!
