half-life 2 mod idea - Bad Odds

Alex2the3gr8 Blog

Lately, I've had not much to do. So I've been designing a mod set in the Half life universe...

Bad Odds

The infamous City 47; alive with high rebel
activity and a large Combine presence.
An object is falling from the sky leaving
a smoke trail and debris, crashing outside the city.
The Combine forces slowly move towards
the crash and the "cheery" General Cornes' screen
goes blank, leaving the citizens in confusion.
Rebels take advantage of the situation
and launch a city wide attack. Our hero, witnessing
the crash and the Combine disappearance investigates
this. The crash is waiting outside the city, low on information
and high in importance.

General Cornes is the administrator in City 47. Another Dr Breen.

I've worked much more on the mod. I've nearly completed the full back story of the mod. I've also completely finished the first map cough* on paper cough*

Please leave any feedback on the back story if you've got better ideas or more. Seeyah later

Soulless Development - Stuck in Scotland and need something to keep me busy

Alex2the3gr8 Blog

Hey, this is Alex speaking from the cold/warm wet/dry summer of Scotland. I recently went here for a holiday and managed to find a laptop. Shame I can't run any games on it. So since I don't have much to do most of the time. I'm gonna write some blogs.

Since my last blogs (which I deleted) soulless has been souring through it's development. We now have; NPCs, weapons, models, textures. I can go on but it will take a long time...very long. All you need to know is that the mod will be very good.

Level designing parts of the mod are going really well now. The last map I showed you. If you checked the blog before. Has been deleted. Then remade. Then deleted. Then remade. Then deleted. Then remade and kept. The map is now about 80 (why isn't the percent button working?) complete. I just need to add game play elements then extra details (which I continuously add). The map is looking pretty good - not to be cocky. Legion, if you remember is back! He was silent for a month or so but now he's back. The map he's making is the Prologue and so far looking good. Even though it's just a single house he's made it god-like already. We're lucky to have him on the team.

Since the first map, I've been creating textures at a heavy duty for it. I think I've made about 25 different textures for it and more. Since I don't know much about anything except mapping. I like the outcomes of the textures. I've been using CG-textures for it and it's been really helpful.

The models in the mod are looking great.The weapons are amazingly detailed, if you check the soulless mod page. You can see his weapon renders...go on, I can wait........so what do you think. Exactly. Ian is an amazing modeler and deserves to be known about.

Now we are in full development of the mod, Alfred (The mod team leader) has oddly started the script for the soulless episode 2. He really is working hard and I can't wait to read it. Goodbye from me and happy modding :D
