Return of LG styled games. Thread

Many fans and gamers mourned at end of may 2000. Looking Glass technologies one most respected and most original development studios was nomore.

Now in October 2003 after 3 long year.

Starts a project which follows same ideology and desing of former LG.
A project from what has nobody heard.

The only thing standing before of project's success is need for group of talented mod makers.

Just you may become a member of that group and that way get a chance to write history.

If you want to find out more and know what is soon the public hot topic in IRC
then goto Koti.mbnet.fi and learn what you can.

Or IF you have decided to join this group then come to channel #tr-mod @ Quakenet.org.

The "PROJECT CODENAME: TERMINAL REALITY" has begun.

Let's make this mod come true. And get LG styled games back as everyone's enjoy.

i don't think that this mod will ever get to public beta stadium...

hahhahaahha:D nice one BartNowciu ....

whats so funneh in it

lol he comes here preaching that he wants to make somekind of tribute to LG and you tell him he wont even make it to beta! lol its just funny...

That's because most game engines today lack "light detection".

Only the Thief and Unreal engine have it. Darkplaces Quake has it too

quake sucks and xenator why did you pass me the link? pm me if you want my services.

ohhh if cheapie heard you say quake sucks

If someone thought that this is tribute ti LG. He's right this WILL be tribute to LG and this will be made with it's style.

I don't know how many of you has played first system shock, but thought luck it dropped into shadow of doom, because poor graphics. While Doom has music, 640×480 graphics and good story while system shock had better technology. Geniue 3D enviroment

But after i heard from end of LG i got one goddamn good reason to hate even more Electronic F**KING Artsm which is by mind most quilty to end of LG.

And if i did not mention the game on which mod will be made IT WILL BE RED FACTION. Because it is techinacally better than half-life under the hood while HL gots 10 points from it's story.

If you're doing the Looking Glass Aesthetic, you'll be competing with one of the best mods ever.

With engines without light detection support I highly doubt that such mod would go so far.

And "Quake sucks" you say? Well, it is GPL, you go out and improve it yourself then.

I belive that missing of that light detection code will not be a probem. We just simply make own or buy it (From thief). And Quake may be under GPL, but it will not be worth of time to even worth of doing. Of course it may be possible that we take some parts of code from it.

1. RED level editor (The ideology of creating exelent leves. Don ask why. TRY IT)
2. Dromed (used to make thief levels)
3. Valve hammer
4. WinQoole99

And On LAST PLACE (SOME WHERE BELOW 100) is GTK radiant. Before it comes comes all level editors what i have ever used which are more than 100.
(this is contains all level/misson editor i have used)

why dont any of these n00b have avas, and on that lite detection stuff, UT2003 has reasonablly good lite detctshon

Okay, so more business. Here is list of different kind of jobs in mod.
- Modeler. (You are familiar with RF model making tools)
- Mapper. (You are familiar with RED level creator, or you just have good ideas)
- Sound artists
- Graphics artists
- Story/concept writer (Needed to finetune concept and ideas with me).
- WEBMASTER. (So if someone is talented as wemaster it would also be nice to get one to team. BUT HERE APLIES SPECIAL CONDITIONS)

SO here is list what team needs to get started.

But main point here is that so far I have already a bit done, i have few totaly new weapons. So I have got permission to use in my project whole HIVE mod sources, and that legal thing about SPECIAL character system is under negotiation. So i just need so talent makers to help me and voila, we will soon have something real to show.

The lite detection stuff is done enginewise, it is NOT possible to do it through game code (and "buying it from thief" won't help either)

this mod is about "online living a virtual life" i havent got anything to looking glass, i only tell you that i think that this mod will don't get to even beta stadium... i have seen few mods of that type and they are DEAD (after few years of development) don't remember the names tho:P

Cassandra suceeded...

Yeah well nothing is easy so at least i will take a shot. Besides there is one point in this thing, that as long mod is non famous, we will have development peace.
For second who declines from trying ? And I would belive that this will get sucess if we get that team gathered.

So i am still waiting those who are interested to join mod team.

What would the mod be about? I'm quite happy to do the script, since not many people seem interested in my own.

Providing I like the concept, that is. Your site's incomprehensible: I still am not quite sure what the hell it is.

Actually those webpages are pretty much in phase until our webmaster gets PHP coding ready. And I own server for them

But to the fact. This project appears to big big so definetly all things listed at webpages will can't be in first public beta. So this will be developed in different phases. Details will be decided within mod team when is gathered.

So that alpha phase will contain single player mode development
and beta will contain multiplayer mode development.

So now is good opportunity to get making of great mod.

And team need folowing maker to get started.
Modelers, Mappers, Coders, Sound and graphics artists, and story writers.
Of course.

so If you want to join send some PM or come to TR-mod IRC channel in quakenet.org

Of course, because that was a mod for Thief.

So finaly we got a fulltime webmaster so webpages will be transfered to somewhere, and huge upgrade will be done and as we get MySQL and PHP support.

I'm not quite sure why you said that. Either it's an attempt at sarcasm, for some reason, or it's rather misinformed. It's a Deus Ex mod.

Okay so there isn't yet much to tell about our mod but it still need more developers. During this week i have been quite busy so i have only worked ideas and such things so we still need at least

2d grapfics artists
model makers
and sound artist

So just if anyone is interested send Pm to me
