I have NO programming experience, im just learning really... but i wanna know if this is possible... Thread

k, first off... i doubt i will have ANY time to ever work on this any time soon and programming atm is all greek to me (but im working on it).

BUT i had a sweet idea about 6 months ago for a mod for the game Heavy Gear 2 (anyone remember this one?)

it would remain kinda the same as the origional game, but more... realistic (?) and i would hope to improve the multiplayer.

mostly, the reason why im posting this here is i need to be writing down ideas and i need feedback and even MORE ideas. my current.. idea is pretty ambitious, however....

ok now onto the ideas

-More refined stealth system (being harder to detect while on the other side of a mountain... people will be able to SEE you before they can actually pick you up on radar [you would have to hide even beter]etc.)
-even further improved space fights (although the origional space fights were pretty rad)
-being able to take less damage, have weak spots (suck as joints of your gear) The purpose of this would be to force you to take cover more and to have more intense firefights
-put more cover on maps
-being able to play as a plain old infantry unit.
-install a new mode of multiplayer where two teams would have to carry out rather large operations (I was thinking of this one last night... one team will be sort of a guruella(Sp?) force harassing a more refined force. the "more refined force" would have to take a supply depot that has been supplying the guruellas and get back to base, the guirilla force would have to keep them from taking the depot,and take out their base. but if the depot is taken, the guirillas would have to kill the guys that took the depot and reclaim it. either way, they would still have to try to take the enemy base. i was thinking this could be cool because being guirillas, you would have mostly infantry units instead of gears, so you could kill the guys in the jeep and trucks, take over the trucks and jeeps and launch a trojan horse attack on the enemy base)
-if your infantry, you can control certain types of vehicles
-sniper equipment could only be put on certain weapons. If you try to zoom in with a weapon that does not have sniper equipment, you would use iron sights.
-more realistic weapons physics (spread, etc.) higher rate of fire for automatic weapons. i also want to make it so that you would not be able to hold down the fire button for so called "non-automatic" weapons to shoot it as if it were automatic, you would just have to click the mouse button instead of holding it down.
-improve night fights. this includes fixing that lame night vision problem (where the sky is still normal as well as lit places, but everything else looks green) this also includes making the night darker, forcing you to use night vision more.
-decrease the reliability of mortars. No more for-sure direct hits and no more holding 48 rounds for your heavy guided mortars.
-forcing the threat value rule more. No more cheetahs holding like 5 super-heavy weapons
-choosing between clip-fed and belt-fed weapons. clip fed means that you would have to reload, but its alot more reliable than belt-fed weapons which could explode when you get hit in the place where the ammo is stored.
-being able to get hit while in your gear. (by this i mean the pilot geting injured from fire, but the gear can still be alive) with this system, i was thinking puting in a button that you would have to smash to fight for your life, if you dont smash it repeatedly, you will die in your gear, but when you press it, you cannot fire (think about it.. would you be more worried about you surviving or you killing the guy that injured you?)
-make a space instant-action map.

I;m sure that there are more ideas in me, but this is all i could think up so far. Do you guys think this is too ambitious? i sure hope not. although i have no clue where the source code would be or if it is even possible to modify the game, but i really want to.

It is possible but it would take months of work

You can mod Heavy Gear 2? If you can I imagine it will be very hard and unfriendly.

that sounds kinda hard...

i aint read your post, but you said is this possible IN PROGRAMMING ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE BOY!

K i think ive changed my mind... If i ever get to create this, i am going to mod it for operation flashpoint... the most challanging thing with OpFlash is trying to create the space battles (i REALLY want the space battles)
