Fantasy mod ( codename 'Arena' )

(Jaquboss) #1

Ok so I have decided to post a thread to notify users and advertise for modders…
It will be a Total Conversion mod ( but nothing is total :moo: ) , as you already expect it won’t happen in WW2 environment…
I am not sure but classes will also dissappear, at least in some gametypes…
instead of it you will develope yourselfs in magic casting, fighting, ranged weapons
you will also have items stored in inventory and way to gain better ones will differ in gametypes ( in ET style gametype there will be probably only buying for awarded gold )

but enought it is still too WIP to talk about this

Well I am in need for a modders:
mapper ( i want any mapper but i prefer better ones you know :nag: )
co-coder ( to do stuff i am lazy to do ( like some boring things in etpub style - admincommands and so )
sound creator - i will need mainly more speaked words , i have to replace vsay ones with shouted ones ( as it no longers go from radio but only from mouths ) , and some npc dialogs which may be used
!!!modelers i need you guys , to do player models, mapobjects, items, weapons, monsters, just everything but mainly players/monsters/npc
music creator - quality , no rips … anyone :frowning: ?
skinners to skin the stuf, not reskinners but skinners to do new textures from scratch

ok that may be enought to do this mod…
perhaps it will be better to move to quake 3 and do standalone game but that may be discussed because ET offers a lot ( and it would offer much more with engine source :frowning: )

Well I’m kinda still working on my mod (beta release soon)
But I’m always looking for new challenges.

My qualities:
-Sounds (can do everything with it and also have a good dark voice)
-Music (made around 5 hours of music, that is about 100 songs, for my own pleasure, might not be the style you look, but as said before I can do everything with sound)
-I can do a small it of modeling (mostly milkshape and a little max)
-I’m pretty good with Adobe Photo shop. (haven’t skinned much)

I would love to provide you with sounds and maybe some music.

Let me know what you need.

wow, i need to see this mod, it looks awesome already. great idea.
i’m not a great mapper and i don’t have that much time but i am willing to assist the great mappers with their work.
good luck with this project.

I’m still working on the modelling tools. Once those are ready, player models and other modelled stuff shouldn’t be a problem.
I’ve allso got some average skill in the other things you said exceot for making VO’s. (Don’t know if my voice is good for that purpose)

If you need help, you know where to find me and I’ll see if it fits, as I’ve allready got a lack of time. :confused: (Should be better next week)

Oh exciting! You do the fun stuff and someone else do all the boring repetitive stuff. What a great idea, where do I sign up?!

hehe.

Seriously though, I think it would be tough to sell that idea to anyone.

The mod looks promising though, keep up the good work and gl with the mod.

(kamikazee) #6

I wouldn’t mind to do that at this moment, as long as it doesn’t take a few days/weeks to get it right.

Whoa, this reminded me something like ultima9 or Morrowind. This seems really attractive to me. Indeed looking forward to playing this. :clap:

!!!modelers i need you guys , to do player models, mapobjects, items, weapons, monsters, just everything but mainly players/monsters/npc

Maybe I may help about this? If you feel me enough to do that, please let me know.

(P4nth3r) #8

I think having Ikanatto in your team alone would be a great honour. ^^

I second that.

(Jaquboss) #10

omg ikonatto and his help that is real honor :o ( seriously you are the one who we all know that can do it :wink: )
very well i forgot really main thing
webmaker :P, where you can sign if there is nothing, omg i should never again make that high mistake…
i can register some free web and upload something easy like e107 but i would really be glad for experienced webmaster ( maybe webmaster of some clan )

(kamikazee) #11

E107 is easy and quite good in what it does, it’s only a little laggy at the serverside.

BTW: I don’t know if my CL allows me to host another E107 forum. We’ve allready got Stealthy’s forum running for FalckonET…

@Jaqu,

I will be more than happy to help/join you in your modding venture. Let me know… models, mapping and web stuff as time rolls on.
If so…is there a source of artwork to gain inspiration for design elements ?
PM me some information. I have been looking to join a modding team…one that will get the job finished.

-I can help you with the webspace for free…no advertising. Full domain or subdomain of www.map-craft.com possible. (500MB or more)
I would webmaster for you but I am kinda busy at the moment with developing Map-Craft.com with a few other guys. (some former Map-Center people)
(I will have milkshape and other video tutorials, I have made, hosted there soon.)

once again…let me know.

P.S. I also made the Flash header at www.map-craft.com , go play with it.

(Jaquboss) #13

ok thank you i will contact you soon

(squadjot) #14

looks good jaqu…its about time people show what we can do with the source…

btw… great character model you got there…

about webspace i would wait and build the “chrome” solution when the game is about to be done… that way youll have a site 100% in cohearance with the game… for now i would just have something “simple” like a e107 is fine …forum for devs…and maybe coppermine gallery for uploading pics.

again good luck with the game…looks fo5sckin9 awesome tbh :stuck_out_tongue: (the orc character really did it for me)

(Jaquboss) #15

Tbh it is RTCW zombie reskin :stuck_out_tongue:

(D-Eagle) #16

Jaquboss, i love the idea!
If you want help, i can model, and some little skinning also.
If you are interested, add me on MSN ( konnapure@jippii.fi ), or speak trough E-Mail ( konnapure@jippii.fi ).
I’ve done this kind of models before, because im actually on one mmorpg team :slight_smile:
(yea, its coded on dark basic pro :slight_smile: )

(dark-tim) #17

i can model some stuff… :smiley: i’m modeling with lightwave for 1 year or something.

(Jaquboss) #18

certainly you can work if you can… however i have no idea if lightwave has enought plugins for ET needs hmm…
What needs to be modelled?:
Characters! ( heads , hair, and bodies )
Armor ( replacement of character bodies and also simple pickup models )
Helmet, shields - similar to ET ACC models
Weapons ( this isn’t itselfs big issue )
Animations for new weapons ( this is a big issue )
and map models ( can you imagine TC without custom map models ? :moo: )

OT:Your nationality tim suprised me a bit… and now i am pretty certain that all holland play ET :nag:

(P4nth3r) #19

Hahaha, it’s true Holland has loads of gamers ^^

(dark-tim) #20

lightwave doesn’t have the plugins… gmax does! :smiley: i can import the lightwave model in gmax and then export to whatever you want…

i can try some weapon animations in gmax… but i can only do the part in gmax. not the scripty stuff…

btw, i don’t really play et anymore :frowning: i play fear, but i would love to help with a mod for et.
