About the mod: I think its one more of those WW2 mods...

 

[ephesus]

Well, It won't really be a WWII mod at all. In the initial release there will only be 1 WWII scenario: "The Convoy", We hope to add additional ones in map/weapon packs if the mod is popular enough. The scenarios We're most likely putting in the first release will be:
-Pirates Vs. Colonialists
-American Revolutionary War
-Old West
-Mobsters
-WWII
-Vietnam
-Modern Terrorism
-Near Future/Anarchy
-Far Future
These are pending and we have a much larger list of possibilities on the website. After we make an initial scenario it should be easy to create additional ones of the same era since the character and weapon sets will already be done. We hope to add all the major events in between, including the earliest battles when the gun was invented.
So, the main theme of the game is the history of gun combat. It will be a team based fps, hopfully 40+ players. instead of maps we have scenarios, each having their own weapon and character sets, check out the "scenarios" page on the site for more info...

Okey:

Usefull tip #1

You making a multiplayer mod, thats fine. You hope to have alot of players, thats great!

But what if you only have like say...10 players in the first release, For a mod that hoping (and designed) for 40 players. If i was a player i whould go "ah, crap! only 5 ppl playing! The maps will be empty as hell! thats not fun at all" then boom...you lost a player. This will continue until you dont have any players left.

Get my drift?

Not every mod out there will be as popular as cs, ns, tfc and all the other ones.

You should rewrite your design doc if you dont wanna risk anything.

Edit: and it will take a hella of alot time to make a the timeperiodes. You will need to make each time "half-done" so you can release the mod within 3 years or so.

 

[ephesus]

Thats a very good point, and probably answers my question of why all cs maps aren't 32 player. i'll probably do some small skirmish maps too, they shouldnt be hard since i could use the same texture set and architecture from the larger maps. also we dont plan on having a ton of maps for the release. since each scenario will have its own era, characters and weapons (essentially its own "feel"), we will not need as many maps as other mods.

 

[Neros]

ooooh kay.......
So the MOD will kinda be more MODs in one....
Choose a map and get weapons from that year...
Choose another map and get weapons from another year....

Sounds messy..... Wouldent that be allot of model work?

Maybe it could be where Players have research theyr way trough
history.... Where each level of research could have 3-6 differenct weapons to choose from....
Then next level would get other weapon and so it continues...

 

[ankalar]

Why do people capitalize the word, "mod"? It's not an acronym, people, it's an abbreviation.

 

[Submerge]

lol
ahahahahahahahahahaha...

so classic

 

[AllStarRapper]

am i good enough? r u guys good enough for me is more of a question...

 

[ankalar]

I was wondering when someone would say that.

 

[Argyll]

LMAO 2 great points!

ankalar is right and I have tried to hound it on people before.. but gave up.

AllStarRapper... that is the best thing I've heard all day!

 

[ephesus]

I say mod, and cig for cigarette , and CS for you know, whatever, why do you care what terms people use, especially when you know what they mean anyway, who cares? If someone doesnt know that mod means modification than they are dumb...
Well, here's the thing, we have a sound guy with a degree in studio production. I've been making maps for 8 years, and will be going to Digipen to get my degree in 3d Animation. We have a dedicated texture artist, and our Lead Modeler (Who holds a degree in 3d Animation) works at NST (Nintendo) as a modeler/animator. Which is why he doesn't have much time to model, he's here to mostly make sure you don't suck, and to fix what you do wrong. He's the best animator I've ever seen though, and will be doing most of those. I'll probably be recruiting a friend of mine whos a Digipen graduate in Programming/Realtime interactive simulation. Our Team is awsome, but sadly enough we don't have any modelers with the time to actually model. That is why I am looking for them. If you read our "About S&S" page see our "scenario" ideas, you'll know exactly why you want to see this project get finished. I assure you that we have every base covered except that we need a few dedicated and skilled modelers. I know I can find some as soon as I begin school this fall, but getting a head-start would be too valuable... We WILL find our modelers, no question there, I just want to find those who want to do this the most, and are skilled enough, not for us, but to make this "modification" professional, fun and popular.
