KoolKat Posted July 30, 2002 I'm not going to continue making true to history levels. I'm gonna make it fun. I will release the Beach of Normandy level later. From now on I'll make the levels more of GIjOE related than WWII related. this should make me go a bit faster. 0 Share this post Link to post
pilottobombadier Posted July 30, 2002 You mean one based on the old cartoons?? :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted July 30, 2002 As long as we get to toy around with assault rifles and the map layouts are decent we'll be happy. I guess making a wad based on Omaha Beach is a little too hard for a newbie wad editor. 0 Share this post Link to post
pilottobombadier Posted July 30, 2002 Heh...so, can we play as Sgt. Slaughter? :D 0 Share this post Link to post
KoolKat Posted August 1, 2002 Actually, I don't no jack about the comix. I mean the battles of WWII. Hopefully I can get Milk Shape 3D for free some how, or you guys could send me part of the $20 registration fee. :) I should finnish the 3D Colt 1911 today. It's my last day of Milk Shape. 0 Share this post Link to post
pilottobombadier Posted August 1, 2002 HERETIC!! YOU SHALL BURN!! :P Actually, you'd have to pick a specific era if youwanted to pursue the comics, because...well...tehy kinda change. For instance, Rock 'n' Roll didn't always carry a couple of dual-miniguns (refer to the action figures):p I actually had a re-release of GI Joe #1, and the differences were huge, but a lot of the characters save Duke, Lt. Falcon, Roadblock, and a few others didn't exist. Neither did Serpentor. meh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hodapp87 Posted August 1, 2002 Could I bug you into making it for Eternity, or something similar that supports allies, so that it's more realistic than one man fighting an entire side of a war? 0 Share this post Link to post
KoolKat Posted August 7, 2002 Have you heard of Edge? that's going to be the engine. It will support allies. I was going to try to make only a few maps with alot of friendly soldiers. They will be there. I didn't finish my 3D model (1911) in time. I would like to ask that people could point me in the direction of sprites, it would be very helpful. Not Twighlight Warrior or Covert Ops. I have already seen them and am aiming for higher quality. (no offence intended) 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm aiming for a bit more realism than Doom had. You will be about as vulnerable as your enemy. You will have limited ammo, but may find some in a map. Playing Nimrod.wad gave me some inspiration for scripted events, though I had some already. 0 Share this post Link to post

Umm...yeah...So you mean make Doom like Nam, where it's super-hard? That's not realism. That's what people call realism. Admittedly, with godmode on, Nam is one of the coolest games I've ever played, but with godmode off the game is a fucking nightmare. Think about that. If people want mock-realism, they'll play Counterstrike or one of its rip-offs, or one of the mods IT ripped off from. I don't think many were that impressed with Covert Ops, either...Although again, with godmode on, it fuckin' rocked :P See what I mean? Realism mods for engines that do not support locational damage, etc. is a waste of energy. If I were you, I'd stick to your idea, but keep the "hero" super-tough, like in Doom,and leave it at that. 0 Share this post Link to post
KoolKat Posted August 9, 2002 I could make an extra DDF that keeps the player tough. How's that sound? 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted August 10, 2002 Heh, I just made a four-armed Cobra soldier using a screwdriver and power drill. 0 Share this post Link to post
pilottobombadier Posted August 13, 2002 Heh, whatever works, man. And Koolkat, I suppose that'd work, but I was just saying. I'm not really trying to shoot down your mod, I'm just telling it like it is. Actually, considering Nam's "realism", I'm surprised most other "realistic" games didn't get shat on...might have to do with pretty graphics :p 0 Share this post Link to post
KoolKat Posted August 14, 2002 It wont be hard to crack out the new player stats, but I'll do that when I'm done. 0 Share this post Link to post
