How about a 007 stealthy mod. Thread

I stretch STEALTHY here, cause those 007 run and gun games is just stupid. I want to get the feeling of a real assassin like Tenchu or MGS here. Like you have to going through it all stealthy, not fight head to head with a whole platoon cause you're dead even if you're shot once( badly wound to say the least just like in the REAL WORLD). Here, our 007 will have plenty of novelistic tools just like in the movie, but then again how he use them and the consequence will stay realistically.

The spy element can be pretty much utilize as well, like how the conversation with peoples, guard,...etc will help him gather infomation and/or help him infiltrate a building or otherwise leave him dead.

 With the aid of next gen contents, I can almost feel the game now. If you're fan of the genre then tell me how is this idea?

NO, it won't. It will just another gun and run game, sure there is stealth element but too little. Well, I may go overboard with the stealthy things compare to the whole 007 series, but I just love the genre. Heck, I can even throw away the whole 007 stuff, just need a good stealthy spy game where most of the bad guys is stealth killed, not some "No One Live Forever" again where spy gun like a super soldier or something.

Throw away the James Bond thing, and make a mod about stealth? Or join an existing mod? Nightblade for UT is medieval, but what the hell, it is about sneaking. So is The Dark mod for Doom3.
I think that Subject311 will have stealth elements as well, as well as gadgets and/or geneboosted mutations to use.
And if you are going solo on this, you better visualise the task ahead of you. Think through the single player story, write it down, make a script or even a storyboard. Take notes on what things you need to add to the game, such as extra movement (repelling with ropes, fencing with swords?) and what game art assets are needed (textures, models, maps, animation). After you have that omg huge list of things you need to do, you start making them yourself. If there is progress, and the idea is good, you might get help.
So do you have a singleplayer story?
What can you start making yourself?
What engine will this be working on?
How will the stealth in your mod work? Will the enemies have very limited field of view, as in Metal Gear, or will you be hiding shadows, as in Thief or Splinter Cell?

I've just thought of it after several hours replaying tenchu 1. Love how things is dealt realistic in that game( to an acceptable extend, not overboard), make you feel like you actually live there, where enemies and death mean something. And I'm still seeing if this idea is good or not. If it's worthy enough I'll go solo on this, then it's time for technical stuff, then hopefully someone will join me. But that's for later. Now's the IDEA.

The bad guys won't shoot badly like in the film, or some crazy AI that shoot you in the head in a split of second. Just deadly enough for you to not show your face around more of them. The view will be 1st person with no UI that show you health and radar. If you want to access to radar or goggle or something you have to hit a hotkey, and the spy will pull the tool off his shirt, kinda like that. When he about to sneak into a room, he'll use a radar that display things from satelite or a goggle that see through wall in some fashion but not so far so it won't kill the gameplay. So from a far distance you can also peek around the corner. When you're hit, you will be damaged the similar way in the real world,like if your leg is shot, you'll have to stop the bleed( in a spy way), then you'll have to walk wobbly the entire mission or to restart it. Guards will have the same sight as the player, but it'll decrease in shadow and depend on player's wardrobe too. That's pretty much everything I have in my mind up to this point.

I'm going to make a Walther PPS for my character as a main weapon. Here's what I've done so far:

And what's more, do you know what's the limit for weapon's polycount in engine like UT3?

Some more progress:
Guess I'll just trim it up after it's finish

Finished at last

How is the model now?

If I was to dev this mod then would it hard to recruit a programmer, for I can only do the modeling and texturing stuffs.

just a bit curious, but if a small gun can be this insanely dense then how about a character's polycount?

Unreal Tournament 3 has a Spy Vs Mercenaries game going, which is based off of the Splinter Cell multiplayer modes. It's called Project Stealth.

Player Model Guideline for Unreal Tournament 3:
Largest Playermodel: 24,876 Tris
Average Playermodel: 10,000 Tris
Smallest Playermodel: 6,474 Tris

Also, it's hard to look at the model with the wireframe over top. How about an image that is just the model without the wireframe?

Thanks for comment, texturing it isn't easy, I'm still doing research.

By the way, what kind of material is right you say? (Yeah, the kind of material that used most inside the engine, and shader too) Can I manipulate the same graphic inside max?

The gun without wire is here

Much better, I actually really like the model. Can't wait to see it with a texture over top of it.
