New Mod Idea

[robobonds]

I have pretty much given up on D-Day mod considering DoD will kick any WW2 mods ass. So I'm creating a pirate mod. Go here for more info. If you are interested post here.

Dude, no offense, but you are just spitting out mod ideas and then thinking that they will just catch on.

Just some advice, lurk around here and other sites, find out cool things that make a mod, and then try to make a mod idea based on those.

Just a suggestion.

pirate? rofl

 

[robobonds]

I'm not just spitting out mod ideas. I just realized that there's no way any WW2 mod can compete with DoD. This was my second idea and last. It's original and will be fun. Plus if you've ever played the Pirates mod for BF1942 you would know where my idea is from. They arn't bringing it to HL2 so I am. I'm changing the idea a little because the HL@ engine lets you do so much more the BF1942.

You shouldn't do a mod that you will think people will like, you should do a mod that YOU will like. If it's good, then other people will like it, but think of a mod idea and then plan it out in your head. Get an idea of what it will look like, and if you make it well then people will like it. Make sure YOU like it, and make sure you have every little detail planned out. After you have planned out every single thing, start making it, and then you will realise there are twice as many things to deal with.
Don't do it for other people, do it because you want to do it, people will like it if it's polished and well thought out.


EDIT:
Is it just me, or would the CryEngine be a little better suited for this? HL2 can do vast landscapes, but it doesn't support heightmaps (atleast they haven't said it does) and it isn't likely it will support maps as large as Far Cry (big maps, but not that big). Just seems like a more ideal engine for the game.

Just because DoD:S will be a success shouldn't discourage you from doing a WW2 mod... even thought there are already a million..

i like the pirate idea

 

[Letters]

You better have cannons! And boats that can be ripped apart by those cannons! And ropes that you can swing on!

 

[robobonds]

Planning to have all that. It would be like if they made a "good" Pirates of the Carribean game. If you are interested and would like to join the mod please post here. By the way I do like the idea. One of my favs movie is POTC.

And ships made of individual planks of wood that will splinter making it all alot more reaslistic

 

[Synthos]

there is a game mmorpg that is already being made w/ pirates on the hl2 engine...

this mod if it ever completes will suck. sorry.

 

[Wilko]

ha yeah right.

Thats a crock, if an mmorpg game for the HL engine ever is released, (which will never happen cause they're dreaming) I'd rather play this guys pirate mod. I don't think assuming his mod will suck is very polite, and brings me to my next point, you suck:E

btw robobonds, what will you do that will help your mod development? are you a coder? =0)

What's with you and the anti-mmorgs?

 

[IchI]

Pirates suck, I think its a bad idea for a modification. Its one of those Film only things.

 

[Yuri]

Machanima only, in my opinion... I don't think it would be too fun to play as a pirate...

 

[Wilko]

hmm

I think you guys misunderstood me, im not fan of mmorpg's anyways, but I dont dislike them, I was just aiming to do justice for Syntho's comment saying the mod would suck if it completed I'm pretty sure a pirates mod could be a lot of fun. Swords. Cannons. Swinging on ropes boarding ships Pistols... rifles... boats... if the bots were driveable on the water, you would have one of the funnest mods around, cause the people would be shooting across the boats while theyre trying to get them close enough to board eachother =0)
