anarcheril	That's right, Legend Of Zelda: Source, A Zelda Half Life 2 Mod... to be. Right now we are just really looking for some more members to help out with it. If you think you could help out, please apply in our forum, right now all we have is me, our mapper, a modeler, and a minor programmer. We have lots of hopes and dreams for this mod that are possible for us, but we need some more people helping. By the way, if your on the team, you get the developer copy to play around with wink wink. Just to give you a little taste, this is the 25% done temple of time map... EDIT: Wow, I cant post links... that is really suckish So please, if you want to help out with a kick but to be zelda mod, please apply in the forums and/or add me on steam. There are a couple more maps to play around with, but the temple of time is coming along nicely. So sorry about the links, but since im a newbie here I cant post links Since I can't post any links, ill have to give the forum and movie's/screenies on steam, my steam is xanarcherilx ...

All current models and future models are custom, all textures are from hl2 or are custom. And the proper credits will be given to nintendo when the mod is released.

As far as I know, there has never been a hl2 zelda mod, after searching and searching I found some half done zelda maps, and 3 abandon mods.

Mr_Cyberpunk Game Developer	LeiLei is right, we've seen so so so many proposals for OOT remakes and every single one always gets shot down.. why.. because Nintendo are nazis... If you get your game even to a releasable state, even with your own resources they'll fox you.. same applies with Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross.. you name it. --

TheHappyFriar :)	they're not nazi's, they keep making new games based on the same stuff & keep selling older games on newer platforms. I wouldn't want someone copying my old stuff if I was still selling it too. -- Go play some Quake 2: q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com It's like Source v0.9, only... better!

anarcheril	... -.- This is not a remake, im almost posotive I already said that. If anything, the maps will be based off Ocarina of Time. Also, we were very careful to make sure we weren't using any Nintendo items, such as models, map, or textures, we will also have to remix the music. But if it does come and we are forced to not release it, I would take the 5 hours, to change the character names and the name of the game, from zelda, to xelda, and link, to pink. xD Gannon to...?

Then why not just make a game that is nothing like it, you will spend more time trying to avoid the C&D rather then expanding gameplay or your asset base. Sure base the gameplay off zelda or whatever but making the game exactly the same with different assets and different names for characters will still get you a C&D. -- If you don't understand my signature, shame on you!

shadowofamn 3D Artist	Here is an idea, turn zelda from a elve to a dwarf and change her sex to female, name her Welda. Instead of a sword, use an axe. Lol, dont tell anyone it is a rip off of zelda and no one will care. -- Modeling Apps - 3dsmax, Maya, Mudbox, Zbrush Mapping - Source Hammer, Unreal Editor 3

Mr_Cyberpunk Game Developer	I agree, just look at how successful Fable 1 and 2 were at copying OOT's gameplay style- I definitely urge you to make a Total Conversion of your own ideas over a remake. --

anarcheril	UPDATE: The map has had some serious updates, if you go to the forum posted above by linfosoma you can check out the new things.

Mr_Cyberpunk Game Developer	Sep 16 2009, 5:35am Anchor
Mr_Cyberpunk Game Developer	The combat system and the shops were very similar hence why I said "successful", Fable was trying too hard to ripoff Zelda and IMO failed epically towards the end. The start worked similarly though. Edited by: Mr_Cyberpunk

I thought Nazis bossed people around and forced them to surrender all their property. Sounds like Nintendo to me, at least that's what happened to that one Zelda mod that time. Square also did it to the Crono Trigger remake guys and took all their assets. Nazi's IMO. If they'd burned the assets it would be more obvious. well maybe its a Facist, Theocracy.. "if you re-write the bible we'll kill you." yeah that sounds a bit more right. Edited by: Mr_Cyberpunk

I thought Nazis bossed people around and forced them to surrender all their property. Sounds like Nintendo to me, at least that's what happened to that one Zelda mod that time. nazis forced them to surrender their property in preparation for their lengthy internment in labour camps and when these proved too costly they were executed in bulk. of course i'm just reciting what is by now general knowledge to anyone who has attended history class in their junior year. it's not really comparable to call companies who have a right and obligation to defend their property "nazis". they are in the right both legally and morally and anyone who thinks they are doing wrong must believe themselves to be above the law. it's not even remotely facist. sure, it's easy to label a big organisation bossing the little people around as "facist" but that's not how it is - kids disobeying the law have it coming. some aren't even showing a base courtesy by contacting the parent company to ask if they can appropriate the IP for their own use. opening up dialogue with the owners can lead to some very amicable resolutions, such as lucasarts' eventual stance regarding fanmade star wars media. but otherwise, people complaining about being having their hands slapped for knowingly infringing on the legal domain of others are just being snotty. if you make an RPG with a guy in a green hat and nintendo C&D's it then that's terrible. if you make an RPG with a guy named LINK saving a girl named ZELDA then you should have bloody well known better.

Joe_Shmoe is tele-pathetic... Thats right	I dont get why most people tend to mod based on somebody elses content... sure i can understand youre a fan, but why not create your own hero, and your own world, and own story? we are in need of fresh ideas, and yeah, atleast you wont have to get "foxed" by nintendo then =] orrr if you realy want to make something based on someone elses content, why not "codename" your project something else, this way you dont draw unnecesary attention, and the final release can be called "legend of Zelda", so by the time you release it, theres nothing the owner (nintendo) can do, aslong as youre not profiting from it that is -- The best work never was and never will be done for money.

Joe_Shmoe is tele-pathetic... Thats right	But why? ive read before from some people that spoke to lawyers about this situation, if a mod group manages to release their mod, then its out, and aslong as they dont profit from someone elses trademark, they are practically untouchable... so i read, but anyhow, i still firmly believe, leave other peoples ideas alone... thats why i wont even show much interest in those anime based games, or movie based...
