Coding Stuff Thread

Anyone know of a place where I can ask for coders to be on my team? Ok, I will try a request here then

Hello,

I'm Jorg40, at this moment I have a active project called Predator vs. Predator for Half-Life 1. All we have is a exelent mapper (me), a sound man and modeller that is so great you cant compare him with others! For the moment I am the coder, I have basic skills but cant get the easy things I want to get it work properly. I have something easy things putted in like cloaking and nightvision but thats all. If you want to help pleas contact me via the mail that can be found on the main mod page. Remember, if we have a good coder on the team we will have a great mod because of him and the beautiful models. Hope someone are interested.

Note: We have a small beta 02 released, but dont think the mod will be like that when completed! It will be a action packed deathmatch game. I have Last MAn Standing included in this little version too I released the Beta to have something to play with my friends and dont let people wait.

I can post the current features of the mod:

Weapons:
-Satchel Charge (currently the cloaking device)
-Crossbow (crossbow for predators? yup, for long distances)
-Rocketlauncher (will be plasma cannon model and coded in beta03, or 04)
-Crowbar (the wrist blades, modelled and ready, but not in this Beta02, 03 or 04 will be model versions)
Other:
-Walljumping (Yes, correct, walljumping )
-Cloaking (IN THIS VERSION)
-Infrared NightVision
-Radar (we are not sure of this, it will be the counter-cloak system )
Maps:
pvp_temple
lms_temple (Last Man Standing)

And here is the mod site:
Mod HomePage: Pvsp.game-mod.net

Note: I know you dont like this current version, but if you have some interest I can send you a .doc file with the whole mod features written in it.

Edited by (in order): Jorg40, Jorg40

By the way, here is the current status for Beta03:

Beta 0.3:
Status:
- Trying to get better walljumping (10%)
- Weapon and player models (75%)
- New Infrared Vision (99%)
- Cloaking device will not last forever (20 %)

+ Added new map (pvp_hunt) (50%)
+ Added spectator mode (UNSTABLE CODE, MAY BE DROPPED)

Hint 1: Try saying what engine you're modding.
Hint 2: There are virtually no unatatched coders here, try somewhere else.

Thought people would see that if they visited the site, but anyways, thanks for the hint.

What do ya mean by there are no unatatched coders here? That everyone are attached to work on a mod?

correct. and for the simple reason that coders are rare in modding... they tend to start their own projects usually

Yeah, coders tend to start their own mods (I'd know!). Attracting a decent coder to work on another mod is often impossible.

But, lol, I am a coder... But not so good that I can make the mod after the exact plan :\

Yeah, at least you have a good idea of what you want and have made a good attempt to do it yourself, you're a nice contrast to the "I've got an idea I want a team" posts that are too common here. Looking at the response however it's not suprising that happens. Posts with no content no team and just some little kid who likes to draw "concept art" while writing long rambling "story/ideas" get much more well received than someone outlining what they've done and are trying to do.

Then again, I don't really "believe in" moddb so it shouldn't suprise me.

I really have content, my modeller from Spain is extreme (as mentioned before ) Here are the predator model, it is "fast" skinned as you see

He made the model in 4 hours, and here is something else of his amazing work:

I just posted this in out forum, we got a new coder also

:::::
:dry: FOX FOX FOX FOX and more FOX... (you should keep a eye up Draco )

I thank all you guys that have helped on this mod, its now closing down, the Fox
thing are up in my ass all the time, they dont allow me to have predators in the game.
BUT, Mifune, your models wasnt wasted, they will be used in my new project (well, edited :shiftee: so I cant be foxed)! :mellow: I'm a little pissed of because of this, this was going to a fun mod after time. But thanks to that Fox thing it wont be a fun thing...

To Tomba: I know you will continue on my team, you skills cant be wasted like this.

To Mifune: I need a modeller for my new project, and this time I will succeed! Right now I'm writing the last lines of my new mod plan that I'm going to release here, it will be with releastic guns and some future ones, thats all I want to tell you rigth now. It wont be a such a hard task Mifune, we will take it all in small parts from Version to version, and we got a new coder he will help us. With him there no chance of going in the trash can. ^_^ And I've decided to help you more, Mifune, with your mod I hope you will like that.

To All: My new plans are Fox proof! I have checked the whole internet for things that might look like my idea!

Thats all for now folks, see you in my new mod/forum!
:::::

well, if someone else want to help just tell me and I'll send you the mod description.

Fox are well known for their stance on mods based on their franchises. It's not even worth considering starting a mod based on Fox intellectual property, as you will always get shut down.

BTW no one will bother to message you just to hear the new idea. Post it if you want anyone to be interested at all. We get 20 or more mod ideas a week here, you need to at least say what it is or noone will take a blind bit of notice.

My modeller have allready modelled weapons
