DehKitteh	I have no idea about the limits in the sizes of the new maps in HL2... But im sure they're high enough to start some kinda base jumping mod...just a thought ^^

lasha is back	Well, I don't know if it's really the same kick with a computer mod as in real life -- If you run you'll only die tired!

Hatel3reed	base jumping= pretty much jumping off of really tall buildings or bridges and just kinda holding and throwing your parachute out.... I dunno how anyone could think its fun but w/e. Its not really a sport... its kinda like calling pogoing a sport :s --

declinsion Wall Scibbler	But pogoing is a sport........isn't it? Don't tell me I've been wasting all these years training for nothing.

Lomo93901 Get back to work!	Not too sure about map size. If anything, I'd look at map poly limits and use that as a reference.

Lomo93901 Get back to work!	But...if it's just a general idea of how huge the map is...just look at the bridge map in HL2. That big enough for you?

DrZais A Wing And A Prayer	take it from us, its big, very big. its basically a massive rail bridge, very tall and with alot of space on either side which suggests the egine can support very large maps in any direction, it now all depends on how high youd want to make the buildings -- ACHTUNG SCHWINEHUND!

Pxtl Lord of the Files	For a smaller mod like this, Half-Life 2's incredibly involved and tedious modding process would be overkill. It could be a good concept, but an easier envirionment (that also supports huge maps) like UT2k4 might be better.

DrZais A Wing And A Prayer	or it might be something to incorporate into another mod as a smaller feature. it was possible to parachute into maps on the earlier firearms versions, i dont know if that option still exists though. -- ACHTUNG SCHWINEHUND! Forums =-= Profile

Lomo93901 Get back to work!	But also think of the aesthetics(sp?) of a map made in HL2. If you're basejumping, you're gonna want some pretty stuff to see, right? source engine, though requiring slightly better systems (at least 1.4 processor, 256mb RAM and geforce 2 or better), the reward is well worth it to get a breathtaking scene to fall through. Seriously.

J_C_A FBI Man	Mmmh... parachutes sounds cool... -- Quote:How about I give you the phonecall and you give me my finger!

DrZais A Wing And A Prayer	you probably wont see alot of detail if your falling, at least that was my experience of falling off the lighthouse in HL2 which was pretty tall -- ACHTUNG SCHWINEHUND! Forums =-= Profile
