HL 1 Weapons???

Post by KeeperUTX »

If UT2004 has HL 2 weps, can someone remake Half life 1 weapons for UT99?

It's not that easy. That's a long process and it takes time.

Basically, although the models, textures and sounds could be imported (perhaps), the effects and overall coding would have to be made from scratch.

If we would have something like a "Like" button, I would have clicked on your post right now. :mrgreen:

HL1 weapons are mostly "real" weapons with the right mutator/mod and the stuff-swapper you can use any weapon of this modifications.
You can make your own HL1 weapon-roster with it.

Actually that stuff swapper thing isn't a good idea for me.
And I'd like to see an ACTUAL egon beam, not a re-coloured pulse beam.
Also I've already tried getting multiple mods together to make it HL1-like but it doesn't figure for me... :S


EDIT: To me Feralidragon seems to know a HECKUVVA LOTTA stuff about making weapon models. ;)

You nailed the lack of hair but were probably a bit generous with the amount of teeth. I am after all a Hillbilly (the restaurant on the page is from where I grew up). Can I put that on my forum? I friggin LOVE that!

It just struck me as incredibly funny, this massive effort to remake weaponry like nothing has been done, all flashy lights and awesome visuals...Imagine the game: Uber-cool pickups floating there, ready to dole out death in fantastic ways, then XAN whips out one of the new sparkly and deadly-looking weapons, charges that puppy up (with a deafening humm, you just KNOW all hell is about to break loose) *THEN*....

pew pew....

Errrr...

Did i ask for stand-up comedy?? :loool:

How about at least a package of weapon models and sounds from HL1? That shouldn't be too hard...

EDIT: I can't remake models because I'm AWFUL at modelling.

It's funny because you "just" asked for a major project since it's a ground-up thing. And yes a package of weapon models built from scratch is really very hard. That's why we are having a bit of fun with it, didn't mean to offend.

What you're asking is pretty extreme.

First of all, very few people have the full skillset to do all this. Ferali, and one or 2 others are all I know who are "Jacks of all trades" so to speak. Most UT mappers/modders tend to be better at one thing overall, and a large project like this for a single person would be a huge undertaking anyway. Look at Foodfight, Nali Weapons 2, and the like. Both have been in production still for a long time, in the case of FF, even with a whole team of modders behind it. What you are effectively saying is "Can someone please drop any projects they currently have and begin what could effectively be a 2 year+ undertaking. really, what you've asked is *just* the "Hardest" part of the process. The UT community has a LOT more Coders than it has Modelers or sound technicians, and even then there's not many. This project also isn't really in huge demand, so it's not for the community as a whole, nor is it something hugely creative, so it's not for the modder. I map/codebadly for myself mostly, I make maps and mods I want to see that feel original to me-I don't want to just straight port something, especially something that, as far as I know, only 1 person might use. If I'm working for someone else, I'd only do it if a large ammount of people wanted it, or if I was working WITH someone who I knew was fairly proven. (actually one of the main reasons I found the time to come back was due to a request from someone I had worked with previously) But that's just my opinion. I don't mean to sound hostile, quite the opposite. This isn't one of the newer games like MC where there's so many modders they take requests. It's an old game, and the modders still here are often spread out across their own projects. You'd be better off learning at least some skill yourself if it's something you really want to see, if nothing else, if you have your own skill someone's more likely to help you.

All that said, I code and model horribly, can't animate at all and my skinning is mediocre bordering on terrible asside from geometry-related textures, so I'm not really the one who would be able to help you anyway :lol:

A Project like this sounds simple in your head but when you think about what needs to be done is huge and if someone did make it you will have to wait a long time for it to be completed and for it to look good. take nali weapons for example they look great cuz time and hard work for them to be as good as they are.
