Project doom Thread

Hi I am Gmz1023 the creator and mastermind of PROJECT DOOM a mod for doom 3.
My mod takes place on a spaceship called the S.S. Marander,
You are a marine who is boarding a ship, the Commercial ship Zolarlizard found in the Tander Asteroid belt; on the ship all hell breaks lose after you find the first two teams dead. We wish for their to be new features, a new main menu, new weapons and monsters.

For this we will need, modelers and scripters and if possible some one to fix the website...

Thanks.

hell anybody there?

No offense, D3 is a great engine for a mod. But, nobody plays it and there just isn't much of mod community for it. I wish I could use the engine for some of my mods, but it would just be impossible to put together a decent team.

"new features, new menu, new weapons and monsters" isn't exactly the most.. tempting description of a mod ever.

Tough, he can go for Doom3 if he wants to. Aren't there ENOUGH hl2 mods in production already?

My ass! there can never be too many hl2 mods!!!! That makes no sense how could there ever be too big of a modding community that uses a specific engine???? What is one more mod going to hurt???? Its not like an angel loses a wing when a person starts an hl2 mod.

Wow...In english please. How can you actually be a URL???

hahaha... Opps...

I'm totally behind this guy. I may not play Doom 3, but I don't care. I hate the fact that moddb has turned into a HL2 fanboy site. Cheapy is right, there are too many HL2 mods in production. Most of them have only one or two personnel and no coder, so will never go anywhere. If these people focused on other mods, maybe we'd start to see more getting finished.

I do not like to see people being attacked for their choice of engine. This is not Hl2moddb.com!

YAH... Thats right... YOU ROCK mauvebib

I attacked no one( if that was directed to me). All I said was that the bigger the mod community is, for a specific engine, the better. I dont really care if this guy uses doom 3, I was just saying that just because there are a lot of projects on one engine does not mean you should completely ignore it, even if it would work out better for the mod you plan to create.

I don't see how pointing out the difficulties he will encounter is an attack. I'd love to see D3 have a bigger player base and mod community. It would be my engine of choice. But, you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which weighs more.

My post was more a general rant than an attack on anyone in particular. I've just seen this happen loads of times.

If someone comes up with a crappy idea for a HL2 mod everyone loves it, but if it's a good idea for, I dunno, Doom 3, it gets ignored and/or attacked. Just because it's not your preferred engine doesn't mean you can't be supportive. I've never played Doom 3 but that makes no difference to me.

Also, am I the only person who believes that the potential number of people playing your mod is not the most important thing to consider when choosing an engine? That kind of thinking is what's wrong with the 'real' gaming industry, and it never used to be the case for modders. It saddens me that people ignore some great engines and mod ideas and go for the safe option instead. That's why we have so many CS clones and WW2 mods, and that's why they're all on Source.

Independant game making (which is what modding is) used to be about originality. Now it's just about numbers.

Basically teasing others about the "limits" of the engines they choose to mod while trying to subliminally suggest HL2 is rather rude, hell i'd rather mod Doom2 than "Source". We'll mod what engine we want to mod okay? Go to HL2db if a universal community modding on a large variety of engines is not your thing.

And if different engines were to have different difficulties, then that's just stupid. Every engine is different, and difficult in their own ways for the modder; there's no real winner. If there were no difficulties in modding, then where's the fun and challenge in modding itself? Do you wish to have a "EZ MODDIN PROGRAM PRO 5.0 MX!" to do all the work for you?

A previous situation (this isn't the first time you've tried to convert someone from an "old" engine over):

I have never suggested to anyone that they do a mod for HL2; I hate it for modding. I did not suggest there were any limitations to the D3 engine; in fact I like it a lot. I will readily admit to steering people away from any engines that don't have much of a mod community. It's just common sense. You can't do it all yourself. I actually finish my mods because I do what's practical. I don't just make gargoyle models.

How did all this start anyways? Balr is right... Doom 3 has a great engine and im not saying anything bad about it, but he does have a point. If you want your mod to be recognized and get the attention it deserves then you want to go for the engine with the biggest modding community. So far from what I have seen Doom 3 does not have much of a mod community. Thats all im going to say on this topic because this is turning into a spam thread.

I think your mod could go somewhere. I would like to see more info though. Post more on the mod if you can thanks!

I thought this was a site where serious modders exchanged ideas and such. But, it's mostly modder "wannabees". Nobody gives any practical consideration to the mods they propose. They have no real intent or plan to complete them. That's not me. If I take the time to start a mod, it's going to get finished. I've had enough of this BS. I'm out of here.

lol! So that means you can code, skin, weapon model, map, make V,p, and w models, player model, make 2d art and more, all by yourslef? That of course unless you have a team togather. It may look easy to create a mod but a lot of work and effort goes into it and usually requires a big team...or a renaissance man. The main reason people dont finish mods is because they start them without knowing how hard it is to actually make a mod.

I agree. I've been working my ass off on my mod, along with only like 2 or 3 others on a team of 15, and its starting to get annoying. Modding is a LOT harder than most think, and although this is my first attempt at a mod, I knew the difficulties I was going to face when I started.

I do see there's a lot of hl2 mods here, mine being one of them. But the way I see it, theres only about a hundred (give or take a few) mods for that engine that are actually different from the game that you buy. Most of the mods seem like just a skin change, or model change. Mine is a complete change compared the the verson you would buy in a store.

Doom 3 seems like an awesome engine, go for it. I chose hl2 for my mod because it already has vehicle capibility, and most people have the game, so it's easier to get a team.

Good luck with your mod, and I hope to see it finished some day.
