I’m thinking of forming a collective effort for HL2 MODS. Working together could save MODs countless hours. This would be great for individuals who are unsure of which MOD to join, but they know precisely what to make/what they are good at. There would probably be a core TEAM associated with this MOD, but nearly anyone can make submissions of work they did personally.
The basic idea of this MOD
So, we would basically have various collections prepared to their fullest extent such as a collection of 200 medieval weapon models which are in HL2 format. We could have all sorts of tools including weapon collection of all genres(models and textures), realistic waves(coding), custom aircraft physics (coding), military vehicle collections(models and textures), misc junk collection, outdoor plant collections, etc. We would only accept and host the highest quality resources available for MODS so they con’t have to sort through countless piles of waste (unless we had a really cool pack which included realistic waste).
For MODs to use these weapon/texture/coding packs, they would have to agree to some “pre-written agreement” which outlines the regulations on use of these packs, and they would have to contact the Tools Team and inform us which packs they are using. They would also have to credit the tool-pack and those involved in creating the tool pack like…
…the people involved in creating that tool pack will be informed of who is using their tool pack, and there will also be a list on the website.
Now, the idea of doing this is not for one person to claim all the glory. That means that while I’m trying to get this all started, I’ll just be another background figure (except for the tool packs that I create). We won’t be affiliated with any MODs, past credit for any free packs which they submit. There will be a core team involved in maintaining this, such as a web designer, a couple public relations people, a couple leaders just to keep things organized, quality control to eliminate obsolete packs, and a collection of people making various tool packs. I’d like this to be a sizable collective effort.
We’ll need web space to do this. Tool packs could get large and numerous eventually.
I need a good name for this, so if you think you have a good name (better than “Tool-Life 2”), please suggest one.
The basic idea of this MOD
- This MOD create “Tool Packs” which other MODs can use.
- This MOD will have tool packs in various areas including coding, models, environments, textures, and more.
- This MOD is basically 100% open source, and doesn’t actually create custom gameplay in itself.
