There seem to be npc citizen characters in the HL2 humans folder that aren't obviously accessable in Hammer. I'm trying to get this guy into my map:

He's listed in Face Poser as Male 06, he's in the Group 02 folder. When...
On Dario D's initial point - while it may be hard to pre-empt the quality of your mod, I think there's definately something to what you're saying. The level of innovation should be obvious from a single sentence synopsis of the game. Why then, do you get huge teams, reams of painfully...
Until RabidJester pulls that off, does anyone know if there's a console command for player movement speed? Tracking shots of people could be managed by matching their walk speed, or whatever.
A mod should start with a gameplay concept, not a theme. An acrobatic 3rd person shooter could be interesting - just don't revolve it entirely around the gimmick of a license that isn't yours. The novelty won't last.
Sounds like a highly atmospheric multiplayer, but like BF, a rioting mod would have to revolve around quite large numbers of players in a server. When reduced to 4v4 or so, it could play out like any typical themed mp fps.
Careful balancing of weapons and tactics could make something very...
Alien/combine themes may clash with the more 'realistic' modern city ethos, but thanks for the positive feedback.

I've checked out IchI's VTMs, and made some headway with the 9000. He comments that not everyone does it this way; are there other ways? This method seems pretty reliant on source material - a weak point?
During the first play through, it was pretty evident how primary was HL2 to everything else. Greasy hair, skipped lessons, missed deadlines - I was almost hoping it would end soon during the final chapters so I could resume Life. Couldn't sacrifice that time again for a second run through, even...
Hehe.
Its true, you're going to regret selling it on as soon as there's HL2DM/DOD/the entire slew of very promising projects about to start full scale production.
Why is it that you always see /weapon/ renders for early mod work? Seems quite a sideline element to be the subject of so many proof-of-concept type images.
Looks really interesting Indy, good luck with the project.
Yeah, only the map editor's been released so far, and none of the HL2 assets, so we'll have to wait. Although, there was a HL2DM alpha released yesterday. Not sure how much is in it.

Where d'you change the max fps? I think my 9600 pro could do a lot better than it is currently, and the frame rate doesn't shift whether it's on 640x480 or 1024x768.
