www.glitchedtodeath.moddb.com

Thanks, and dont forget to post on the G2D forum!

Uhm.... info?

nice idea, but are those screenshots on the page from your own project ? if not i would suggest adding a disclaimer because its smells of plagiarism

Cool idea i guess..... are you just importing heavy music details, like suspence music and all when somethings around.. and action music when its getting exciting?

I'm not sure what hl2 has doen as far as music... but it really makes the difference in gaming.... lol, i can't play doom thr....... i mean... two.... with the music on very often

Dynamic music isn't very common in mods, but is there anything OTHER than saying that the music will be good that you have to say?
One thing I do want to do is a basic form of dynamic music for Dh3 - it's a great way of adding some serious coolness to your SP games. Although we've decided that every level will have a different set of music. It's a big workload for our poor band

I just started the project but more info will be coming soon.

The images that are currently online are from other games and that is mentioned in the media gallery.

The mod isnt just special because it has dynamic music, it IS dynamic. It combines visual and audio in a way that it will get you in some sort of trance. The kind that you get when you rythm or music based game like Parappa The Rapper or Rez or Dance Dance Revolution.

Half-life too will have dynamic music, Glitched To Death IS music. Its like watching a WinaAmp Visualisation on LSD while listening to a hypnotising loop from Underworld (who ironicly have a song called Rez...)

Now I get why there isn't too much info about this :p
Of course HL2 has dynamic music. All good modern games do
I look forward to seeing this, it's not so much a mod as an engine built entertainmeny application.

Quake1 can also have dynamic music, Ww3 has it.

Glitched To Death is a mod, its just a Total Conversion that is totally different than other existing mods or TCs, that i know of at least.

Thanks for all the interest

P.S. Do you guys think it is possible to make a rail-shooter modes for a HL or HL2 mod?

Rail-shooter=you automaticly fly (yes you will probably fly in G2D) forward, but you can aim and move up, down and left and right to some extend, like in Panzer dragoon or Rez, etc.

Sure; make a map, have code that restricts the player's movement (such as forcing sv_maxspeed 0) and have him ride a little func_train.

it would be quite easy..

Okay but if i set the sv_maxspeed to 0 the player wont be able to move at all in that direction, would he.

Can i make the player automaticly move forward while he moves in a sort of invisible tunnel?

And if such an invisible tunnel was possible, would it be possible that monsters and other object could go through it? And would it be possible for the player to shoot monsters or objects through the invisible tunnel?

Use the edit button instead of posting twice. If you just played with the code a bit, i'm sure you would be able to pull it off. The best idea would be for the character not to move at all, but just for the objects and monsters to fly towards you (making it seem like you are moving). But i'm not entireley sure if that would fit with what you are thinking of.

The func_train option is the best, but you could also use a brush that sits behind the player and pushes them forwards, so that they cannot travel through them, however other object will. You can also create an invisible tunnel of brushes that restrict unwanted movement that projectiles and enemies can travel through. It shouldn't need too much modification to do so, just a good mapper.

Sorry, i forgot that i could edit my posts...

I will see what i can do and just hope that HL2's SDK can providy me with more stuff to easy my coding.

Thanks a lot for the support guys (and gals)
