Welcome to my ModDB page, in which I will be keeping a log of the planned features and releases of the upcoming mod that I'm working on, based on the SMOD platform for Half-Life 2.
If you haven't heard about SMOD, I recommend you take a look at the Unofficial SMOD Wiki, as it's written in english and contains sufficient information and links for the mod. Other notable mods include SMOD:Tactical, which has inspired me to begin work on a mod of my own.
While SMOD Vanilla is great and provides a solid and functional base for others to work on, a few factors reduce its user-friendliness: 1) The documentation is primarily in Japanese and automatically-translated English, and 2) mod support is difficult to come by due to this language barrier.
The mod I am working on will hopefully increase user-friendliness and by extension accessibilty, similarly to fitzroy_doll's CSS SCI FI mod. After a solid foundation for "plug-ins" such as weapons, configurations and maps has been established, I intend to shift focus to creating custom scenarios, again similar to CSS SCI FI, but with some more detailed scripts and some maps of my (or my team's) own creation.
Progress so far - last updated 18th Feb:
Configs 100% --Refers to anything with .cfg at the end. Mostly just getting all settings and modes complete.
Weapons 100% --Includes models, scripts, any other functions related to weapons.
Mapping 0% --The actual physical .bsp files for any maps created for the mod.
Mapadds 0% --Scripts used by SMOD to add entities and gametypes into maps post-creation.
Other Content 75% --Everything from menu functions and look, to packaged music and configuration programs.
Tutorials 10% --An online tutorial base for people who want to customize their mod further.
I will make a release when Configs, Weapons and Other Scripts are complete.
