Since I had to go away for work unexpectedly, I decided I am going to start working on a new mod. Now I am back and have 3 month's off work. So I am going to get started on a new mod theme all together. This time it’s going to be single player. Some of you might recall a grand theft auto style mod I did for awhile ago. If not and you want to see the thread to see what speed I normally work at so you can actually see I am not just some noob who doesn’t actually know what he is doing then here is the link.

This mod is going to be more army based. And have the following thing’s in it.
Tank
Helicopters
Jeeps
Planes
And some other small thing’s I won’t say yet but want to play around with for just a bit of fun and a bit of a challenge. It’s going to be set in a modernish time, maybe a few years in the future. In a city type environment were all hell has broken out. And you fly / drive / walk to destination’s and try securing as a team to take parts of the city over or back. Of course one team will be fighting for what is right and the other one’s rebelling against what the others are doing. It's not going to be like Ak47 v Colt like all mods seem to be based on these day's. It’s going to be totally original weapons. I think ill set my first goal’s a bit simple and just to get the mod started out. Here is what I plan to do in the next few day’s.
Model at least 3 weapons (Knife/Pistol/Main Gun)
Model a Jeep and get in game and working
Get 3rd person code sorted out
Get some fun firing effect’s coded in and some good sound’s for weapon’s/jeep.
Get a simple hud in game.
And start a simple map that will be built over time along with the mod.
Again this is a mod I plan to do basically solo again due to having a mod team behind you tends to distract you from what you are trying to do. And people get mixed idea’s and thing’s get complicated I might a few friend’s from work and some old people I worked with before now to maybe make a few map’s or do a bit of skinning/modelling here and there depending on what I feel at the time. Lucky I been making mods since I was around 12 year’s of age and now work in for a game company so I do have the knowledge to do all part’s of making a mod. Mapping/ Coding / Modelling / Skinning etc... So I can get all the hard work done my self. And it gives me something to do on my work break… well ill update with a few screen shot’s in game and a few renders in the next few coming day’s shouldn’t take me more than 2 – 3 day’s to get the list I made above done in game.. So ill update soon, well better get started now… Be back in a day or so to update with screen shot’s and other things soon. (Gets working on a few concept art’s ready for model’s *were did I put that damn paper!*)

ow well there is good old command/studio mdl i can use if i get to angre with it hehe.. Anyway's since i got all the tool's now and everything sorted out in the right place on my pc and all nice a tidy... (wont last long) lol i can get started on some real work and get some good ingame shot's done soon. im at the moment working on a player model of one of the team's gang member's and hope to get that ingame by the end of today using the basic animation's used on all Hl2 : DM player's and ill add and edit some custom one's later on but that more the fine nitty gritty stuff that will need to be done toward's a release date. so i have a while to put that off thank god because animation is one of the most boring thing's about making a mod. dunno why it is.. it just make's me wanna fall asleep lol. ow well here is a quick sneak peak of the m4a1. And yeh it's a shit render i agree but i couldnt be assed to spend age's on a render when there are mroe inportant thing's to be doing such as geting it igname with custom animation's and sound's and fire mode's etc
