I expect some people have noticed i have not been posting much recently. Well there is a very good reason for this......

I made a toally awsome, rockin', off the wall, HL2 mod.

GENERAL:
This is a pretty simple mod. It's for those of us who like to go into a comabat situation 'prepared' (aka armed to the teeth)

The weapons changes are as follows:

- Pistol fire selectable (Auto/semi auto)

- Shotgun fire selectable (pump/semi auto)

- SMG Fire selectable (scope/grenade) (still a bit buggy, dont me suprised if something messes up)

- .357 fires as fast as you can click

- Shotgun primary fire reduced spread and more pellets. Secondary fire fires 50 pellets (instead of 16)

- RPG fully auto, unlimited ammo. (fires seagulls) - laser turnoffable.

- AR1 fires twice as fast and has a clip of 60


ADDITIONS:
- Full auto bow gun bolt launcher...
- Flare gun (a bit buggy but fun)
- Prop buster grenade (This is really useless but it works so i left it in. Basically it explodes on impact if it hits a prop... but not an NPC :/ )

- Basic bullet time
- More blood
- Sniper rifle (if you can find a model for it)
- Some new sounds
- Hmm, probably some other stuff I fogot.
- Map "weaponstest_map" Just something i was using to test my shit. Might be useful if you plan to add in some models of your own.

- Added map Combine Onslaught. Released by StiffyLS (chapter 16 or "map CombineOnslaught")
- Added rockV2 map (made by jagged edge - http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_The_Rock_SP;36473 )

Its not a super powerful weapons mod. The game is still challengeing and i have added some additional things like the flaregun which was not in the original game, alrternate fire modes for weapons, extra blood etc etc

Also i dare say you didn't program your SUPAR POWE..etc in C++

I remember when I realized all you had to do to hack Duke3D was to open an ini file and change the values. I had some fun with that.

i remember doing fun stuff with duke3d too.

i made all sorts of magical things like freddy krugers glove, zomiting zombies and regular zombies

c+c red alert was great for modding too

Well when you have the slightest idea of what is invloved in mod creation i will give you opinion some respect.

I have been an active member of the HL community for a while and this is the kindof stuff people what to see.
Without a whole team of people a total conversion is completely unfeasable.

Infact i doubt you even own the game and are probably just trying to look cool by flaming me.
You'll get more cool points if you flame arrowX, thats the 'hip' thing to be doing at the moment.

GM is ok, but once you have seen 1000 threads of HL2 characters in sexual or matrix positions it looses its novelty value.

Thing is, I didn't say anything about your mod being Garry mod (which is kind of fun).
But yeah, that and when you find out people can make what I made in an hour, in 2 minutes, kind of pisses me off.

But, see, he obviously does if he can recognize that this is like every mod ever done. WEAPONS R SUPAR POWERFUL MORE BLOOD KEKEKE ^^ INF ROX, seriously, you should be shot in the lung for standing in line to urinate in the pool of creativity, and the crap you're pulling with this mod is something that you don't even need to understand a programming language to accomplish in any good game, and probably not this one, either. This is the type of stuff that comes out a few weeks after the game while every fag with a text editor gets it out of their system and the people with talent are still working on things that appeal to a more high-brow demographic than ArrowX. I SPIT ON YOUR MOD. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE THINGS FROM THE COLONIES. PIGS' BLOOD! FAGGOTRY! WHAT FAGGOTRY IS THIS! I HOPE YOU GET LIVER SPOTS AND DIE IN GERMANY!

Believe it or not there isn't really anything like this for HL2 yet.
All the TCs are still in development and the SP mods are mostly just giving weapons real names or adding save games where they have spawned more enemies around the maps.
All of the people who have a good degree of C++/Visual studio skill are all hard at work on Total convrsions which will not be relased for a few months yet.

I have tried to keep the weapions balenced by limiting ammuntion etc and not making them overly unrealistic but also making them more fun to use.
For instance the SPAS12 shotgun in real life can be gas operated, i.e. not pump action, which was not present in the original game.
And you could not disable the guideing laser as you could in HL1 by default.
These kind of things just add a bit of extra fun while you are strafeing round corners in slow motion.

But if you think you can implement weapon fire mode changes or increase 'for loop' values to spawn aditional blood particles with a basic text editor go right ahead.

again you're kidding right. this map has been done so many times in so many different ways it's disgusting. it may not look exactly like yours but it's basically the same thing as joe shmoe's shitty map

MetalMilitia
Jan 23rd, 2005, 12:08 AM
what?

I didn't make either of the maps i included. They are just some i found and asked if i could use so people could mess about with the new guns withouth having to do the campaign again.

I visit about 3 big HL2 forums regularly and keep up to date on all the latest things which have been released and i can tell you that my mod is fairly unique for HL2.

As i mentioned before, other people have just been editing script files for more ammo/bullet time or making physics mods like JB mod or Garrys which although fun do not incolve a great deal of combat.

Find another mod where you can use the flaregun and sniper rifle and il gladly admit i was wrong.

HOLY FUCK YOU KNOW MY ONLY WEAKNESS - NAMES OF CODE ARARGAHRHAGH

In quake, you could do a lot of that from the console, and the rest from one of the dat files. It's the same for almost every FPS and there's most likely a way to do it in HL because programmers often leave small stuff in easily-editable files so they don't have to compile a million times just to get the 'right' amount of blood or whatever.

But whatever, 'wah wah let's see you do this see i know some names of code even though all i do is find snippets and edit and move them to change stuff'. I'm not a programmer, haven't worked with any programming language for years, but everything in your mod sound sounds like you went rooting through code randomly changing values until you found something 'NEET' and kept it, then threw some shitty graphics over it to make it look like something original.

And EVEN IF anything you mentioned was somehow difficult to pull off in HL2, it's still the most unoriginal tripe i've ever seen IN MY GOD DAMN LIFE

MetalMilitia
Jan 23rd, 2005, 12:35 AM
well holy shit you have to start somewhere. Im not just gonna jump straght into making a total conversion based on a competetive frisby tournament

This has been as much of a leaning experience as a chance to make some cool stuff for my favourite game.

now that mod i would play

your mod however is for a few limp bizkit fans to play with for all of 10 minutes, get really fucking bored, and then send a trojan to your email for making such a redundant mod.

in other words, you failed at making a somewhat decent mod. and chances are you're going to fail again. so you might as well never try

MetalMilitia
Jan 23rd, 2005, 06:45 PM
So have you played it?

Do you even own HL2?
.

No, thought not. So you are in no position to tell me how much this sucks.

This is my first real mod and im pretty much learning C++ as i go along so its not going to be anything too special but from the feedback i have been getting from people who actually own the game its not looking too bad at all.

If you think you can do better, go right ahead.

I would not mind he if had actually tried it before declaring it a POS. But its obvious he is just firstly sucking up to chojin and secondly persueing a personal dislike for me.

I dont even know why im bothering to argue about this. its like banging my head against a wall.

I played your mod metal I thought it was fun. The best part about it was the auto bolt gun and flare gun. If you plan on making another you should add a more powerful gravity gun like that can pick up cars and crap. I liked your mod alot though props to ya.

First off I hate mods. I agree with Chojin and Rongi completely in that any little asshat (read MetalMilitia) can throw together something like this and feel really good about themselves. It's especially funny when they post it on I-mockery and get really pissed off when they get the fuck flamed out of them.

Now go watch your anime.

Yea i guess your right, mods are the suck. I mean what the hell are these 'modders' thinking?!
They are making game addons which can significantly increase the life of a game and give people countless hours of enjoyment then giving them away FOR FREE!

I really hope they all die.

It's especially funny when they post it on I-mockery and get really pissed off when they get the fuck flamed out of them.

I was not pissed off that it was getting flamed. I was pissed that it was getting flamed by a complete idot who did not know the difference between a mod and a map.

any little asshat (read MetalMilitia) can throw together something like this and feel really good about themselves.

I did not make this thing to 'feel good about myself'. I did it for:
- Fun
- A chance to lean some C++
- To get stuff into the game which i wanted to see but was not present.
- To occupy myself at 2am when there is nothing better to do.


Now go watch your anime.

haha, anime is lame right guys?! lol

I should really have expected that one after constantly going on about how much i like anime in all the thread i post in.
Damn you really got my number. :rolleyes :rolleyes [/quote]
