Wasn't there a few for HL already?

There don't appear to be any registered here on Moddb. Most of them were for other engines.

I say go with it man. Sounds cool enough.

there is one out for half-life, its not under the name of starship stroopers tho.

yea i remember one out for hl i dled the single player training it was pretty cool

im waiting for the new game, it looks KICKASS

but a mod would be just as good!

there is allready 1??? , then my idea isnt so good maybe. but i love sst its so fu..in cool. but i dont really know how i should make that mod. game elements?? story?? the mercury engine(breed) would be perfect for such a mod, but no source and sdk for it , and there is another prob, i need ppl who can help me with it. and i say again: please post your ideas and thoughts about the mod, things you would have in that mod, here, thx (sorry for my english,im swiss)

Try writing up a design document, and read these articles. Moddb.com

why hl1? Why wouldn't you use hl2?

first i wanna make it for hl1 then if its good, and lot of ppl like it i will try to make it for hl2, i wont make it for hl2 yet, cuz then i wont be able to play, cuz my computer isnt that good. and again i will need ppl who can help me!!!!!!

this forum isn't for asking people to help you.. like i said, you also might wanna write up a design document in order to entice people to your mod, on your moddb site.

good spelling and grammar are also a must,

to bad, i am swiss as i said, that means my english isnt perfect, and i will soon wirte a story, and make a site for it with all the infos, features and so on, that i will make, but suggestions, and things that the players wann have in it i cant know, that means YOU need to tell me what u like to have in the mod

Hehe, nope, I don't need to, not my job. It's your job as the game designer to execute, (write out) the vision you have for your game.

Who am I to tell you what you should put in YOUR mod? What are the things you don't see in games that would make your mod different from all the other starship troopers games out there?

Ultimately, what your doing in making a mod, is making the game YOU want to play. If this taste just happens to coincide with a number of people, then you're in luck,

Hi all
I'm also a member of the mod team. (SST for HL1)
We're going to try to make a good mod for HalfLife1 that HalfLife1 players have gotta have. We're busy writing a concept for the mod. (Quite dificult with no modding experience). I hope we can get a few guys or girls together to complete this project. Next step is definately the concept. If anyone has any ideas or queries, ask us. Looking forward to a kick ass team of modders, modding up HalfLife1.

Greetz ArmyMan

Hey ArmyMan, I'm vERY glad you guys have decided to write a concept up. Please do yourself a favor and follow these links and read them, it'll help you understand a little better the document-creation process,

Gamasutra.com

This will lead you to creating a game concept document. You can ignore the marketing section, seeing as how you won't be dealing with business execs, Note: You need to sign-up for Gamasutra, it's easy and free, and a worthwhile source for gaming development news.

Gamasutra.com

This will talk about the design document, which is different from the concept. You get into the nitty-gritty here, instead of just going over the individual features proposed in your game concept document. NOTE: There is some stuff you don't need to deal with in the technical document, because of how you are already using an existing engine. i.e: Data flow, control loops, etc. etc.

Edited by: iCeDaLe

so here the first concept, some informations are still missing and its not such a complicated thing like, they are talking aboutin gamasutra, but i think it does its job, for the first.
greets The MobileInfatry Modding Team

sorry it doesnt show it like i made it, will fix that soon (ill make a lil php page)

Edited by: BreedLord

okay cool, that's a very rough game concept. Now look at the second article, it makes you start asking yourself questions like, what are "these invented parts" or, "what are the specific skills for each class," etc. etc.

Then once you've got all that done, you've got your technical document and can start getting team members and production on your mod!

, yes its a rough concept, and i am working on the "details". and thx for helping me
cya around.

no problem! Feel free to pm me with questions/the documents themselves!

sorry it doesnt show it like i made it, will fix that soon (ill make a lil php page)

Starshiptroopers-game.com
If you think you can do a better job

Also, you might want to try Gamedev.That's always a good place for beginners.Also, even though we know you're Swiss, and your English is bad, a suggestion would either to really break down on learning some more/better English and/or getting a representative.Either way, both help you project your ideals and make you look more professional.

LOL, go suggestion, but i think i can speak english than you can speak german , and its impossible to make it better than the game, cuz i am not a pro. but i like the starship troopers universe and i wanna make a mod, so why dont make a starship troopers mod

I remember a Starship Troopers mod for Half-Life, recent too. Can't remember the website >_<

i woulkd like to see this but would be better on the half life 2 engine special with the physics

do you have a website yet
