"Atv Challenge" (HL2) Thread

"Atv Challenge"

-Atv Challenge is an Atv mod for Half-Life2. The mod will be Third person, including
different camera modes. Atv Challenge will feature a variety of Atv's to choose from
Yamahas to Kawasakis, with there own unique sounds, engine, traction, suspension,
control, etc. The mod will be Multiplayer.

-In Atv Challenge, you will be able to do a variety of tricks, even combos, which
give you more points. Each trick scores a different amount of points. Everytime you
repeat a trick the value goes down by 25-75 points. You are also able to hold tricks,
the longer your hold the trick the more points you get.

-The Atvs will be customizable with different colors and sticker kits avalible to them.
You will be able to customize your riders gear, pants, shirt, gogles, helment, gloves,
and boots with different brands including Fox, Thor, Shift, Axo, AlpineStars, Oneal,
etc. Your name and number will appear on your jersey and bike. You will also be
able to tweak your engine, traction, and suspension for different environments.

-While riding an Atv you must balance your yourself by pitching it forward or backward
when you land or you will crash. Depending on how you land affects your speed when you
hit the ground. If you land good, your speed will stay the same. You can also do
wheelies by using the pitch backward button, but be careful, pitching the Atv back to
far will make you fall back.

-Shifting gears plays an important part in this mod. For one thing, it determines how
fast you go and if your able to make it up a hill or not. You will be able to shift
up and down depending on how many gears your Atv has. A reverse option will be
featured to those specific Atvs who have it, and those who dont will backpedal on
there front tires. For those of you who are to lazy to shift, we will include a
auto-shift feature.

+Game Modes

-Supercross (Amateur/Pro)
Supercross mode is your basic game mode. You line up at the start, and race the
number of laps that is designated (selected by the server). You will still be able to
earn trick points, but it doesnt affect the outcome of the race. Races will take
place on staduim tracks. The person to come in first place wins.

*Amateur
The Amateur edition of Supercross consist of easier tracks, this is the basic mode
of Supercross.

*Pro
The Pro edition of Supercross consist of harder and more challenging tracks.

-Endurance (Amateur/Pro)
Endurance mode are races that place on the large environments (such as freestyle),
but you must pass through checkpoints. You will race a designated number of laps
set by the server, and whoever come in first place wins.

*Amateur
The Amateur edition of Endurance consist of easier terrain, this is the basic mode
of Endurance.

*Pro
The Pro edition of Endurance consist of harder and more challenging terrain.

-Freestyle
In freestlye, you ride around a large environment and you must do tricks and
land them to earn points. The person who has the most Points at the end of the round
is the winner (round ends when time is up, time is selected by the server). Different
environments will include Snow, Valleys, Sand Dunes, Mud Terrain, etc.

*Grab the Flag
Grab the Flag is an accessory to Freestyle. The Flag spawns randomly in the map, and
you can see it on your radar or "Compas". You must race to get it, once you have it
in your possesion, you gain 10 points each second. The object of the mod is to hold
on to the flag the longest and whoever has the most points at the end of the round
wins. If you have the flag in your possesion and you crash, the flag drops. If the
flag is in your possesion and a person hits you, the flag is now in there possesion.
There is also a negative to having the flag, you move a little big slower to give the
other people a chance to catch you.

why not just make it for hl1 ? there are already good lookin racing games like this on other platforms.. maybe if you switched to something people could play you might get a little more support.
maybe think up a new thing like tricks or something.. raceing, freestyle, and ctf is soooo *dead*.

Maybe I could change it to Half-Life, and then do one for Half-Life 2 (if it ever comes out). Btw those arent tricks those are game modes, and I dont see 2 many mode with a freestyle mode. Plus, my CTf is different from others.

NO NOT HALF LIFE1... Thragg comeon be smart keep it with hl2.... The model has a great start dont waste it on hl1..

I can make it for both.

Why would you make it for hl1? Itd take ages to make the models, you'd have todo low poly for hl1 then high for hl2.

There is so much nonsense in this modding world, why do people quaver at what engine to use, think before you even consider and plan.

The low poly models are pretty simple, all u need to do is the shell, cage, a block engine, and wheels. I gonna just stick with Half-Life 2, its a better engine, so the game would be much better than on Half-Life1. Here is a start on the frame (decided to go with low poly models).

But remember, you can make low poly models and do some Normal Mapping on it to make it look like its very detailed. Thats what I'm going to do on my mods.

this sounds like a fun little mod....maybe i could help with the mapping!

I always wanted to do some racing maps....Maybe an idea...you can make it atv vs. Motorcycles. Just an idea

offroad mortorcylces, never heard of em . but i think you mean dirt bikes.

seems like no one in here is interested...guess none of you ride 4 wheelers or dirt bikes

i have ridden quads and i enjoy them. i also have played many games withthis exact idea along with all of these scenarios. fluff and mediocre ideas dont deserve my attention. make something new and innovative and i garuntee more along with me will frequent your thread, mod, and hopefully download it upon its completion.

This better?

I did mean dirt bikes....and they are considered motorcycles too....they have 2 wheels and a motor.

dirt bikes , but ok , here is a update on the banshee, added lights, pipes, did the rails, and added the front fenders.

*UPDATE*

I started on the engine and re-aranged the pipes to go where they are susposed to.

+Can be seen above+

Thragg that looks awsome keep up the good work

looking good thragg, looking good!

Also, the engine looks good too, being blocky and such.

im not trying to puch much detail in the engine, leave that 2 the skin. You will hardly see it in game, and you will be focusing on the road.

*UPDATE*

This looks like it needs a back suspension, and some wheels and its done, also will you be able to see riders on top of these, so it doesn't look like ghost riders.

Have a beer!
