For what, half-life?

This topic was made a bit early, it's well to early into things to have any real judge of promise.

RTS in MP is a good way to go, since only NS has gone that route, and if I remember right they aren't porting to HL2, that leaves it wide open for someone to try and take their good idea and refine it. Edit: And since MP limits are set by the modmakers, with some creative coding you could...

Companies that really care about mods or end users "infringing" when there is no explicit exchange of money, are either overly greedy, control freaks, or just plain idiots.

I thought about this idea once, it'd probably work for some of the less supernatural killers (Jason, Michael Myers, etc) but some of the really powerful ones like pinhead and freddy would require extensive work. For instance, Pinhead has the ability to telekeneticly move around any...

And have you listened at all to what I told you, in two threads? If you make AVP you will get foxed unless you are seriously cloak and dagger about this. NS gameplay is also incompatable with AVP, the aliens can maybe have some sort of hive structure but the marines and predators do not fit into...

AVP2 and AVP are owned by FOX, they don't mind that since it had aliens and predators allready. The morrowind mod probably is cloaked. As long as Fox doesn't have anyone to email, then yeah, it could work. Of course, really doing something like NS with Aliens and Predators wouldn't work so well...

Delay or not, that doesn't matter, I'll buy it whenever it comes out....but if it does come out on the 30th we should hold that guy to his promise of handing out free half-life 2 copies in an HEV suit or whatever the hell it was :p

Bungie was bought out by Microsoft during the development of HALO, at which point it became an XBOX exclusive for the time and lost a lot of its coolness as MS removed stuff.

They'll get foxed eventually, it always has happened before. FOX is big on this sort of issue (hence how the term foxed was invented :p). And yeah, I was trying to gather up a few people for a mod similar to NS but hopefully with three races instead of two and having nothing to do with...

a brown fedora, and a dirty red-green sweater :p He'll also have a penchant for the occasional one-liner

.net compiler is a C++ compiler for windows and it does what it says. If you're referrin to C#, then yeah that's not really C++ it's a managed version of C that Microsoft made for their .NET web platform. However Visual Studio does have their C++ compiler as well as C# VB, and J# compilers.

It wouldn't be an AVP mod then now would it? And actually I've been working on something like that in private with a few people, unfortunately work on the concept models and art has been taking....longer then expected.

Like I said before this is a BAAAD idea, Fox will sue you before you can even begin to get off the ground.

I used to primarily do procedural programming, but I've been really getting into OO lately. I think it's a great way to make code, since it much more easily encapsulates functions and variables for logical parts of a program, so it makes it a bit easier to debug or fix problems with.

XP isn't as stable as 2K but it is more advanced in several areas. XP also is more backwards compatable with software and hardware then 2K is.

Windows XP Professional is the best OS for games and most other things. Macs are good for graphic design and media work (editing movies). Linux is good for dedicated servers and other web services.

If you're going to pirate, do it right, get Visual Studio .NET 2003.

Bloodshed makes Dev-C++ and I pity anyone still using a DOS compiler (AKA DJGPP) for windows stuff. I also have the latest visual stuio for windows applications.

G++ is the GNU C++ compiler, it's great if you don't want or need an IDE :p Dev-C++ is the best free compiler I've seen, it uses the GCC 3.2 and is pretty good as long as you're not developing anything that uses the Win32API or DirectX.
