Gangsta Trip - HL Thread

Hello, We are 2 guys that have started a new mod called "Gangsta Trip", But we are only mappers so we need this to do the mod:

-Modelers
-Sound enginer
-Animator
-Mapper
-Scripter[That do the scripting for the mod, Like the ground and other things]

Thats what we need now, Do you wanna be something of this email us HeaL_BF1942@hotmail.com

Information about the mod:

You can use: Bats , Knifes , Granate , Pistol , Shoguns , Rifles and Bombs
You can be: East-Side Killers or West-Side Latinos
You can: Blow up Trasher tables and much more whit Bombs
You can: Rob other peps by killing them

This and much more, Not much to come whit now but when we have more information to come whit we tell you that // Sorry my stupid/bad english

Do you have a completed design document? If not, I will tell you right now that there is a 98% chance your mod will not make it.

You should not start a mod until you are completed a design document, otherwise you lose track, move onto other things, add ideas and forget other ones which will eventually leave you unorganized with an unorganzied team.

Another thing you should have is a procedures list. Like I said about Design Document, if you dont have them made then the team will be to confused, you'll lose track of what needs to be done and probably keep adding onto it.

The reason why I say this is because you should have some kind of "point" to where you will end with the production for the first beta, and move to the next. Confusion costs time, and time means people, lives, future. I suggest you think about this through a bit more because the information you just listed wont help you much in finding a team.

For help on getting a mod team together and created a decent mod, I suggest you read up here: Halflife2.net

Thats the only article I can find that will help you in the areas Ive talked about and so much more. Goodluck.

I suggest you listen to this guy. He definitly know what he's talking about!

its kinda like gangwars, but gangwars is cool in my book

Makes sense.

what does

Cool link. It says 'get coders', then 'get modellers', then 'get mappers'. Thing is, they left out the hardest part of making a mod, finding them!

Is this for HL1 or 2, if its too you may want to join my mod team, we have 13-14 members already... One of them is still being reviewed... Anyway, the mod is called Criminal Velocity and it is an rp style mod. The general concept is hard to explain in a few words, head to the moddb profile for a more detailed description.

holy crap 13-14 thats like a friggin EA games team lol

There's no real reason to have that many members. That's just spreading the communication thin and having a harder time keeping control. I'd keep my team down to about half the size. One-two people per job is just right, so long as they're good at their jobs. More than that, and you're just risking it.

I have a system that keeps everything organized and everyone busy. Anyway, let's not hijack this guy's thread...

Thanks Makkon, and im a girl, not a guy ^_^

I got that link off another forum, skimmed it and figured it was a good enough tut to help xibid out.

i say be more original man. this is just like Gangwars. east side vs west side, battle each other. I wouldnt mind doing a gangsta mod for hl1, but i had a more original idea. ill post it later.

and while were at it, lets make a boondock saints mod.

wow, that article brought me to tears. J/K
but it was really good.
