Mods of 2005 feature - GoldenEye: Source Mod for Half-Life 2

GMod is more than JBMod ever was, because JBMod was purely phygun, and the psygun code is included with the SDK. That is why the Garrysmod phygun and the JBMod psygun have the same code, not because Garry stole JBMod's code.

Also, I was truly sad not to see Iron Grip: The Oppression not get in the up-coming mods, but apart from that (and too many remakes scoring way too high) it was good chosing by the community.

Garry, when I said massive advertising I meant sending out e-mails. I don't ever remember seeing a JB mod news bit, which is why I made the comments on you having the better advertising out there. You were more exposed and yes I don't understand the 'not a mod' either.

On the JB mod bit I spoke about, that was from the information I gathered from several sources around the community during the time of the incident and thereafter. That is what I have heard and understand.

Okay,
I have to say that I'm shocked U5: Lazarus did not make it anywhere on this list. 5 years in the making, a complete recreation of Ultima 5 with all the original dialog & NPCs, plus a ton of new dialog & npcs... all of the things which make a game an "ultima" implemented... all in all one of the single most impressive mods I've ever seen. Oh yes, they implemented this in the dungeon siege engine. They also redid combat, levelling, skills, etc. Really- check it out: U5lazarus.com

WHAHOOO!!!! BLACK MESA SOURCE IS FIRST!!!! HOLY OMGZORZ W00T!!!!!!!!

Well i mean at unreleased mods, but the **** with that! BLACK MESA IS FIRST!!!!!!!1

StreamRip of the event minus music/breaks:

Moddb.com

Hey i love the whole idea of a Decent source version of Half Life, but Kalashnikov you honestly dont deserve the credit you get for making BMS, from what i've heard people edit your news additions and some times write them for you all the time, and thats about " all you do in the mod "

Your lucky that your mod is a complete rip and remake with the title "Black Mesa source" and a complete story written and mapped out for you or you'd be back on the couch watching Frasier.

Good Luck with your mod, i believe you'll get all the fame and sex you want in the world.
Gus.

a asshat cause you think you are witty. If you think about it you sat in a chair and typed utter ********...do you want a cookie?

If the team wants to join his mod of BM then so be it and if they post news what does that proove? You guys should of been around when the HL Racing stole HL Rallys code.........that was some hot **** and fighting back and forth. The moddb.com awards is just that moddb.com awards. PC Gamer and Voodoo Extreme and IGN and Gamespy have the same awards for games. They do not allow you to vote its based off staff. moddb.com offers something no mod site does a chance to be part of the site and make a better place.

No sign of any of the Sands of War versions anywhere:/ What about best HL2 mod sequel to a HL1 mod?:)

I knew Garry's mod was going to win!!!

Everyone has their role on the development team. I don't take the credit for Black Mesa, nor have I ever. It's been the team effort since day one. I helped put together this team which now is labeled as the best upcoming modification of 2005 and I don't think at any point do people say "omg Kalashnikov is so cool making Black Mesa Source". You almost never hear my name mentioned in conjunction with Black Mesa. People praise BMS, and everyone has their own opinions.

It's true I am not the greatest level designer, it's true I have others read over my news posts. Why? Because I want to make sure it's right. I didn't realize that checking with others on my work was so very bad? Gus, some members have problems with me because of my level design record of which I will say this officially: I have changed chapters over the time of development to make way for a far more talented level designer, RabidMonkey. Do you guys not like how Black Mesa Inbound has come out now? I manage skinning, texture art, ftp ops and hosting.

If developers have so much of a problem with me, then they would have said something to me rather than speak out to others. I find it relatively dispickable Gus that you would ever, ever think I'm trying to steal attention away from any other developer on BMS.

I'am shure that it's been played and talked about more in 2005 then Garrys Mod.
It should at leased be mensioned

Thanks for the reinvention award guys :) It's greatly appreciated. Congratulations to BMS, Dys and GMOD as well :D

Hot Coffee mod wasn't really that big really, a switched flag. It's 15 minutes of fame is over.

go esf lol

goldeney:source deserved the win!

Why the discrimination against RTS? The popularity part I understand; no RTS mod will ever get close to the amount of fans as any FPS. But the Editor's Choice part...you put a mod for UT2004 in for the Strategy award? Granted it's a kickass mod, but would it be so hard to give the actual strategy mods a chance? There are plenty that are damn good.

Woohoo!

*Breaks out champaign*

:)

Thanks for the award & trailer recommendation for Hall of Mirrors. Downloads have gone through the roof!

Makes me feel all warn n fuzzy that people liked the trailer I cut. :)

I am sad to see yet again, the RTS MODS get lost in the shuffle of DBZ and half-life fanboys. I cannot believe people are still waisting time making DBZ mod # 1,234,323.1.

I personaly would have like to see more variety but at least doom3 last man standing got an award.

BLACK MESA (SOURCE) SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!

DENZIL AND KALASHNIKOV **** EACH OTHER IN THE ***!!!

Yeah go FF!

one of the few mods im looking forward to.

Goldeneye, too, although i never bothered with the alpha...N64 verion kicked *** for sure.

Wow nice to see me and kalash made it into the good books of a few idiots.

True we don't do as much visual work as the other team members, but we put in hundreds of hours of work planning the mod in the first place, and none of that ever gets seen, it wouldn't be where it is today if we hadn't, I think that deserves a litte f'ing respect. I know that Kal never takes credit for the mods success, he does a damn good job, more than i've been able to do recently. I personally wasn't in this for the personal gain or credit, I know that founding a mod doesn't get you noticed like making a beautiful chapter, but that doesn't bother me, leave that to the people who do it best.

And anyway, this is the awards post, take your poorly informed abuse elsewhere.

What the heck? This is more of a server side modification.

In my own opion Fortress Forever shoulda been #one.

Intelligent, SirAlucard.

Hey kal , you talk to your team members, donno why a couple would say stuff like that to me but thats your problem...

SirAlucard, grow up a bit.

Denzil " plan the mod " , not much to plan.... Theres a whole game there made for you to just source.

Kal, you have to admit... i dont see you had to have too much effort put into recruiting... People see " Black Mesa Source " and automaticly want to be in the mod... Alot of people go through your mod, you know it.

I dont hate you kal... just think that you've gotten it all too easy, should be a bit more thankful and respectful of your developers... and dont come back at me with an artificial Reply written like a robot.
No more promisses either.

Anyway, I aint most likely reading this thead again so i'll say Good work garry

Gus - Thats just so stupid its unbelievable..

We couldn't hire a single person for the first six months of the mod, we got nowhere, we've only recently been able to recruit how and when we want, literally the last few months.

Also, no planning needed? Sure if you want a **** mod then why not, but I'd like to see you make a good remake with new additions and technologies without pre-planning, it just won't work. Also you need to setup how the team and mod works internally. You can't have a clue what running a mod is like if you think thats the case.

Why these categories haven't a winner???

-best graphics
-best sound
-most disappointment

Gus, you're doing a great disservice to all the other 15 year olds who don't know what they're talking about when it comes to modding. At least they have the sense to keep their mouth shut.

The mod that achieved 3rd place for best upcoming has just released a major update!

See: Moddb.com and Insmod.net

:D Sorry, had to pimp!

Hah, you people make me laugh.
Garry didn't steal any code from anyone, he just got better off than JBMod and was strong enough to survive all the negative "omg tis not fun lol 15 mins uf joy not fun nemor" comments, and ended up with an alternative player base. Garry's Mod doesn't really fit into any of ModDB's categories as it doesn't have a determined gameplay - Garry's Mod lets the players unfold their creativity and with Lua in Garry's Mod v9 even coders can unfold themselves. I love the mod for the sandbox-gameplay style and for the sandbox-styled programming Garry has done - I bet he doesn't have a plan for what to do next to get more players to play Garry's Mod (which he probably doesn't want either).
I'd congratulate Garry for winning Mod of the Year with his rather different mod, which isn't as bad as you may think after having tried only the Weld tool and the Wheel tool... It has more than that. Go check the Wiki Garry set up, and go and check the forums for extra models and Lua scripts... It gets quite amusing after a while.

I Was hoping for a list of honourable mentions. I would put Empires (HL2) on their for sure. It's only in beta, but I've spent a ton of time playing that game. It's an RTS/FPS that's really well done, has a great community, and I think it deserves to be mentioned a bit

omg this dude thinks that dragon ball z fans come to mod db to vote for esf....
and its a good mod, number the reasons why it shouldnt be there.
