My Mod Idea - need help with making

[maggotcorpse]

ever since I read a 16 page article on HL2 way back in 2002 I have had an idea of building a mod. I cannot code,model,map but i do have thousands of £'s worth of audio software.

my idea is that (please tell me if this has been said b4):
>will be LIKE an MMORPG - where the player can create his is model (WWE Smackdown style) so he can look like himself or sum1 different
> the point of the mod is to become very rich and very powerful (mafia style)
>> the more money you make from selling guns/ammo/ drugs? the more people will want to join your gang/clan/krew etc - making you a powerful gang
>vehicles will be in the game for drive bys/transport/fun etc -
>and you woudlnt have to play to be powerful you could play to disrupt the gang leaders by doing other jobs such as sniping/assasination
>each time you die you loose sumthing (whatever you havent stored)

this isnt even a 1/10 of al the ideas i have for this mod - but i need help making it i dont want to be Mod leader i jsut want this mod to be made how i would like

if anyone likes this idea (i do) please contact me on my email address ([email protected] or ICQ : 230-378-227

I'm afraid thats a little too over-ambitious, given the constraints of the engine

I can see the character generator as working, at a stretch, though. I remember a number of models in Half-Life which had multiple head, body, and gun types, which were interchangable - possibly the opposing force ones.

ps for beginners we could jsut use the normal HL2 models and swap the heads/arms/legs etc jsut reskin them ?
and as for one HUGE map - we coudl ahve servers for up to (16,32,64,128 players) in which you would play - persoanlly i hate that idea - but if you cant do 1 big map it woudl ahev to do

Or maybe you could try and figure out a way for the server to automatically upload a player's model when they create a character, so personalisation is based on how folks mke their own models? Difficult, but perhaps workable.
