Helix
Half-Life 2 mod | TBD
HELIX is a First person shooter source modification created by my brother Xyius (aka Exos212, akA Mr.Data :P), and me, Xyos212. Its emphysis on originality graphically is advanced source mapping, modeling, and texture art. Our goal is to make this look as realistic as possible, but still run at least at 40 FPS on an average machine. (HDR disabled will compensate alot of FPS problems for the low end machines)
The gameplay is still being drawn up as we create content. The setting, story, and weapons are all done (in concept) and ready for mapping/modeling, etc. So far gameplay will be as follows:
Round based, decent HP so it takes a bit to take an enemy down, Unique movement abilities to vary gameplay, and more little tweaks to the way you recover HP, deal damage, and destroy the enemy.
TO SEE THE STORY LINE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND CLICK "STORY"
This is an abstract gameplay explination, and will be updated as we go along. Right now its a bit cumbersome to post progress on a continious basis and work on the mod, so updates will be about 3-4 days apart. (Best case scenario)
One big thing were going for in the mod is the results of you killing your enemy. Headshots will reward expoding heads (Think gibs with blood sprites spraying all over), exposions will cause bodies to, well.... explode :)
The basis of the mod revolves around realistic content, with alot of finess behind it.
All screenshots posted here are all WIP. They are all subject to change. We would appreciate any comments on them, as it will help the development to create the most realistic enviornments the source engine can handle.
Every screenshot (with the exception of the hands) will be shown in-game. No pre-rendered in XSI to make it look better than it is.

No we are not dead. Since school started, and TF2 and Halo 3 came out, we haven't worked on the mod as much as we should. But I HAVE been working on the website. As some of you know, the old website sucked. It was basically something I slapped together fast just to get a site, a temporary site. But I got back to HTML'ing and coded up a brand new site!

Is this anything to do with the book called "Helix"?
About the yellow lighting in "Undertaker"... I think it should be orange/pinkish instead. Take a look at some sunset pictures(or even the sky you can see in the screenshots) for an example. And another thing that really makes a sunset lit map looks good is a slightly blue tint to the ambient light. Trust me it makes it look great. Like the first mission in Rainbow Six: Vegas.
Undertaker's lighting is too yellow.
Otherwise all good.
Might be a good idea to code this stuff and see if it works or is any fun before you spend much time on mapping. Counter-Strike + Halo sounds like a strange mix, like noob CS with halo objectives.
Actually the air IS colored blue. Look up when being outside if you don't believe me. During the winter the darker days are blue and during the day if you look at the objects in distance you can see that they are slightly blueish.
Lo Im just wondering what modeling program you use to do the models? Because they look pretty awesome and I can see that you can import them into the game as well.
There is an option which lets you turn it off. It's optional. If you think your computer won't be able to handle at a good framerate, you can turn it off.
Thanks you guys! And no this isn't based on the book "Helix" I never even knew there was a book called Helix. :p
As for the HDR, I think it makes the ENTIRE map look next-gen. And This mod will be focused towards looking aweosme, and running fine. Keep in mind, we are keeping the FPS in mind. :p
i ahve an idea guys! dont make everything with hdr! hdr doesnt really add anything. just better lighting which is most of the time overused. keep it without hdr and it will run faster and better.
Looking really good. I would like a little larger screenshots though.
