Stunt Car Mod

[James Isaac]

Hi,

I am working for a driving idea for a HL2 mod. You will be a stuntman who uses cars, and you go through a career trying to become famous and gain money. It will take advantage of the HL2 physics engine and physics. There will be 4 main types of gameplay:

1) Career mode where you are hired to pull of certain set up stunts in the car, and try to get money, then you can go and buy new vehicles and stuff. The stunts can be set up in stadiums for stunt shows, or some could be in the streets for films.

2) Also in career mode will be banger racing mode, which is just another way to get money. You are in an arena with loads of other cars, and you have to be the last man standing after destroying the other cars. This can be useful if you are running low on money, and you need some to progress to the next stunt, becaues there will always be banger racing competitions, so you can play any time. This can also just be played out of careeer mode for fun.

3) Maybe just for fun cruising round in a small created city, with fun obstacles like jump ramps.

4) Multiplayer over the internet where you can play Banger racing and city racing for fun.


I already have a small team helping, but I do need some more help. Please pm me if you are interested.
What do you think?

If you can pull it off it sounds like it might be fun. Could be a bit complicated in the game idea part itself, unless you find a way to implement that into the game to replace the way HL works.. mind you, counter strike and counter life did it with the money thing so i guess anything is possible

good luck!

I'm doing a multiplayer racing MOD(and a FPS MOD). As far as stunts go

jeez everytime someone suggests a mod or weapon you say your doing it already lol

 

[phantomdesign]

Whaaaa....

This mod is actually quite different from my racing mod. The stunts were only going to be in the intro video. I was going to do those in 3DS Max. I never meant for it to come across that way. Infact you can read all about all of my weapons (look for Phantom-Ops).

Anyways, this MOD sounds awesome. Best wished for it's completion!!!!

It sounds like you've been playing too much of that game called "Stuntman".

 

[James Isaac]

Ahhh damn!

Just searched for that. Well. I'll have to change my gameplay a bit, so that iwt isn't as much like it.

I'll add in circuit racing aswell

What do you think?

so basiclly its exactly the same as stuntman on the ps2 with some banger rancing features? Whats the point making a game that already exists.

You cant really say that. Then we wouldnt see any modern realistic combat mods, no WWII mods, no streetracing mods, no nothing. Most ideas are already taken but you can still do a mod about it (with a twist).

ye thats true. But stuntman was never a big seller anyway and got boring very fast so why make a game that has already been proven not to work very well. On the other hand destruction derby 1 and 2 where one of the best sellers for ps1. They where very fun and even my self was thinking of doing a mod with a link between this and the gt series. But its never gunna really pick off. They never do. Normally mods only ever get anywhere if its a group of people that know each other etc... and have a base team of about 4. Definatly with 1 coder. Without that I can't really see anyone sucseeding.

Hmm...

I might just make a banger racing mod then. Not really any stunts. I will include loads of tracks aswell as arenas - there can be circuit type tracks, and ones with loads of obstacles to hit. And a single player career mode, and then maybe just a bit of city racing

I'm sure some people will like it :afro:

 

[phantomdesign]

I say there's nothing wrong with doing a stunt MOD. My only question though is how you're going to rate stunts.

 

[James Isaac]

Hmm...

I'll have a Stunt School were it goes through all the basics (like how to get good air off jumps, how to do corners etc.). Then all you have to do is make sure you do the stunt properly (make every jump ramp, hit every obstacle etc.) and don't kill yourself or destroy your car. Then you have passed.And I could use the HLTV tools to set up a cool replay feature maybe.

What do you think?

quck Q: Are the vehicles going to have realistic physics in HL2?

 

[alco]

Anybody remember that oooooooold PC game 'Stunt'? Going through loops and doing huge jumps on an F1... good times...

 

[The Dark Elf]

i remember a game on the Amiga called Stunt car racer I think.. with the old classic bitmaps put together to try get the impression of 3D without it being 3D.. or that incredibly hard game on the C64 when you had a stunt car, and a big deal was made about a cow stood near some loop that you could hit accidently on purpose

I LOVED STUNT CAR RACER ON AMIGA!! :cheers:

 

[phantomdesign]

I'll give you my moral support to pursue this mod.....go for it!!!
