Halo; GG2 (The Chat and Alt-Weapons Update)

[Derpduck [LORD]]

1. If it's not too much of a burden then yes.
2. I would be glad to help if there is anything I could do.
3. I can host ect, just put it in a zip

1. That's one vote for yes. If I recieve at least 5 posts saying we should, then we'll keep updating it. It IS a bit of a burden to keep updating and adding new things to it, but if there's still fans of Sci-Fi mod out there, we'll keep updating it.

2. There's LOTS to do, and if Orpheon says yes, then the two of you might be working side by side on that part!

3. We don't even have the first sprite or code worked on yet, we're right now just in the brainstorming stage. It'll be a bit of time before we get something worked out. It's good to know you'll be hosting though, we'll need it!

[Orpheon]

1. I don't really care one way or another about Sci-Fi mod, but I thought quite a lot of people use it.
2. I sort of want to know more about the project before really committing myself. Is it a platformer, what language/engine, gg2-like, how many classes and how different, how complex should they be, how many maps will exist, etc...
3. Can't host, sorry.

Not exactly on topic with Halo mod, but I've got three things to ask the fans of KZ and Neu's mods. The first thing is a general question, the next two after it are about a very big project we need your input on as we work upon it. Also, hurrah on me getting my 2,000th post! What better thing to have my 2,000th post be than this?

1) Do you guys think we should keep updating Sci-Fi mod? Nobody seems to download it very much and I don't play it at all because I think my old sprites are too cartoony and ugly compared to my new ones.

2) Me and Neu have an extremely EXTREMELY huge project in the works and it won't be finished for quite some time. Rest assured however that it will be glorious. After we finish working on KZ for INSmod, we'll be starting on this thing. What I'd like to know is how many people have extensive knowledge with enemy AI and would like to help? Orpheon, I know you're skilled with AI, and we need someone who can make AI similarly to something like Tempest Bot. Would you like to help work on this tremendous tremendous mod with us? Anyone who volunteers and gets accepted will of course get their name mentioned as a co-creator, right along side myself and Neu.

3) This project we're working on won't be finished for a while and we'll need testers and hosters while it's getting worked out of its beta stages. For a good reference of how long it'll take to finish this monstrous project, think of INSmod. The names of hosters and testers will be listed as well when this project comes to completion.

1. @Sci-Fi Mod. I don't think so, Halo Mod = Basically updated sci-fi mod. Maybe an update every few months? I think you shouldn't
2. I volunteer, I know a bit of coding, am good at figuring things out, can help with stuff
3. I can host/test

1. Wut??
2. Orpheon and Derpduck have already volunteered, both of whom are working on Tempestbot, which will work pretty much exactly like what we're working on. We have no further need of an AI coder I'm afraid.. but thank you for offering!
3. I'll mark you down as a tester/hoster!

I'm not sure it's a good idea to compartementalize coders like that. We'll probably all gladly help Neurion with the rest of the code too (and vis versa).

Whatcha mean? Did I offend you..?

Also, Neu doesn't really know much at all about AI, and he doesn't know the first thing about networking.. that and the fact that this project is so huge that it can't be handled by just two people and see the light of day is why I asked you two to come help.. I don't mean to make it sound like you two are just bit players in this project if that's what you meant. Considering how difficult it is to make good AI, you two would be playing a MAJOR part in it, a part so big that without the colaboration between our two modding teams, this whole endeavor would only be a fleeting idea and nothing more!

No, you didn't. I mean Derp and I (and maybe MEDIK, if he really wants) could also help with the rest, not just the AI.

I would really need to talk with Neurion about some stuff, if possible. Does he have skype?

[Killah Zillah]

I don't know if he does or not.. I don't think he does. He DOES have a Yahoo IM and something called Trillian.. Also, I'm in the IRC right now if you want to talk a little quicker!

[MEDIK]

Trillian supports Skype too I think.

1.Your choice
2.no volenteer,I have no clue about coding
3.can i be tester?

1. Not really, it's all about how many fans actually WANT us to keep updating Sci-Fi mod, my own feelings are practically irrelevant if there's enough people that still play it.
2. We don't really need volunteers for that anymore, so that's ok.
3. I don't really know anything about you.. I'd prefer to give the beta to people I know will give good detailed feedback, rather than just goof off on it and say "lol it's fun" and that's it.

For clarification to all possible hosters and testers, this beta won't be available for quite some time, it's a MASSIVE project. Don't worry, it's already begun production and is speeding along. I've already found almost every non-verbal sound effect I need for the mod, and I've already gotten all the dialogue sound clips for one of the characters and finished four out of fourteen of their weapon sprites.

Woah woah woah. hold the phone. multiple weapons and dialouge, AND bots? What the hell are you planning, a l4d mod?

Not.

Saying..

A PEEP.

 

Well, except to people who want to become beta testers/hosters, they'll get the lowdown on everything involved.

I will say this much, however.

It will be big. Bigger than anything else on this forum. A mod so HD, so huge, so full of variety that everything else - maybe even INSmod - will pale in comparison. This mod will be so HD that just one ARM from one of my sprites is as tall as the spy sprite in normal GG2. It'll be so grand that you might as well call it its own game.

[Dusty]

Hnng, I want to know, but I don't have much to offer. Orpheron is a vastly better coder than I, you guys already have an art style (one I'm not really comfortable drawing), and as you saw with my earlier review of HaloGG2, I'm horrible at explaining what I find right/wrong. Oh, and I can't host.
