is this pretty much pirates of the carribean for half life 2?
i get this from the new world, carribean pirates and tortuga i think is in the film
if so, i dont care, still looks good
I was reading some of your older news entries and saw hand grenades and water mines. I'm pretty sure they didn't have the technology to make water mines back then. As for grenades, I think they did have them, but they were very primitive. You know, gunpowder packed tightly into a iron casing perhaps, with a short length of rope or other flammable material stuck inside it... Not too sure...
I don't know if this mod is going for history or more about fun, but either way mines seem to have been around since the 14th century and where first planned/used in the West in the 16th/17th century. The first practical ones though where used in the American War of Independence. Your right about the grenade though, that's what they used at the time and that's what grenadiers used.
Well I just finished checking up the mine thing and you're right. I just hope they don't model the weaponry after modern equipment...
looks good but can you add a new HUD?
i dont really like the half life 2 one in or out of a mod
Steve,
While there aren't any shots up of it yet, I have completed the team/class selection menu and provided a shot of the working prototype to Skulburn. We're primarily waiting on at least a single player model before posting so the menu is complete in full rather than a gap currently where the player's model will show when their class is selected.
As for the HUD, I know Skulburn is working on concept shots that I can build off of so that and the scoreboard are next on my agenda once I work out some quirks with the HL2DM player class and team selections specific to our game :).
Ryan

There is no plan to do that, we will have a few new screens within the next week :D
