Interesting podcast regarding the whole NMRIH thing. You're hoping that they will port their work to L4D, let me point at the Dead before dawn campaign that you talked about before the NMRIH part. Dead before dawn is created by Darth_brush, former NMRIH Level Designer and his new l4d campaign consists of atleast 70% levels that he originally created for Nmrih. But since development has ceased, he decided to port it so all his years of work wouldn't go to waste. A wise decision if you ask me, he's already famous because of his stunning quality work custom campaign that many are eagerly waiting for.
He's doing it on his own though, they're not doing it as a NMRIH team (though he's using a lot of assets from nmrih and have got some developers from that mod supporting him).
The official word of NMRIH by Coleman (on their forums) is that the mod is at a standstill, waiting for the L4D SDK. If they find something interesting in that SDK they might port their mod over. But like I said, doesn't seem like they'll have to do that.
Again, great podcast, good work!
Interesting thanks for the info OkeiDo!
Im glad you guys are intrested in my Sniper Division mod. Expect a lot more material this upcoming month. Private beta is also scheduled for 4 weeks from now.
If you guys are intrested in any inside material, pm me.
Wanted to note that the "Stargate:Source" mod on the "Related Mods" list is not the one mentioned in the podcast. It's called 'The Stargate Mod' for HL2: Moddb.com
Anyways nice podcast, enjoyed listening. :)
Thanks for the SF shoutout.
