Source Hockey League
Guaranteed to Never Lock Out

First off, If you would like to help with the Mod, and are talented at your respective modding position, please contact me at cbjbjl@yahoo.com

Anyone and everyone qualifies to help however so contribute however you can please.

A very Brief Summery. More detail below for each number.
//----------------------------------------------------------
1.Uses Half-Life 2's Source engine
2.A complete experience on the Ice. Skating as true to life as possible.
3. Total Puck control in a 360 degree range, while moving any direction
4.Physicality. Hockey is a Contact sport.
5.Other important game info (Penalties, Fights...)
6.We are currently in Help and need more Mod Team members to effectively start this Mod. Please PM me if you are interested in a position.
//----------------------------------------------------------

1.
//----------------------------------------------------------
We plan on making full use of Half-Life 2's source engine, the physics capabilities, and graphical ones. meh, you all should know what they are :)
//----------------------------------------------------------

2.
//----------------------------------------------------------
Skating: This Mod will be in the 1st or 3rd person view, always in the direction that your head is facing (moves freely with mouse look.)

WASD keys used to strafe and go forward and skate backwards. Mouse is used to freely look and search for that puck. Your player will be smart in the sense that he'll do what you want him to. ex. If you are moving toward your Goalie, and need to shift to a defensive position, you would turn your head around with the mouse to look towards the attacking team. In turn your Body would turn around to face the attackers, but would still be moving towards your Goalie. If that didn't make sense I hope my Concept art will. (coming very shortly)
//----------------------------------------------------------

Controlling the puck: is a mix between manual stick handling, but possession will be done automatically. Gain control by right-click similar to How the gravity gun works. It is possible to steal the puck. Passing and shooting is done manually, but with the help of an aimer.

All these Hockey games tell you that you have Compete control of the stick and puck. LIES!!! Hopefully we can make a game where you can hook and slash how you see fit (Course then you may get a penalty). Imagine a full 360 degree range that you could carry the puck while moving in any direction. Lifting up others sticks so that they cannot get a shot off. All controlled by your mouse and some nifty imagination on your part.
//----------------------------------------------------------

4.
//----------------------------------------------------------
Hockey is a contact sport: I plan on physicality being sequenced somewhat like this: Hit ---> If loss of balance ---> Ragdoll to the ice ---> when balance is regained get up. This should make for some spectacular hits. We don't want a Hit fest like most hockey games are like now days.
//----------------------------------------------------------

5.
//----------------------------------------------------------
All penalties are called as penalty shots: No one wants to sit out for two minutes.

Fights would be at random, and pretty rare. Otherwise a few people might think they're too fun and just start them constantly. We will try to implement full bench fighting mode. For the controls you can still move around with WASD, grab with the 'q'(with left arm) and 'e'(right) keys, punch with Mouse1(left arm) and mouse2(right), all aimed with the mouse, and then space bar repeatedly to tackle.
//----------------------------------------------------------

A few Questions...

Are you a Hockey fan?, a Sports fan?
Are you skilled at programming, Mapping, Modeling, or any thing else that would be useful?
Would you simply like to give feed back about anything at all?
Would you like to be involved in a Mod?

I would answer Yes to all of these questions, but if you said yes to ANY of these questions or you created a question that you thought I missed, and said yes, then you are a very special person and should consider Working on the Official Hockey Mod on the fantastic Source Engine!
//----------------------------------------------------------

Of course: so much more!

A few Notes.
//----------------------------------------------------------
I have lots of Mod Ideas, but I found this one so intriguing that I couldn't overlook it. If you share the same vision of how fun this style of play that I described could be please consider joining.

I plan making this a realistic Mod. There is certainly arcade type modes planned, but they are second priority.

Sorry it has been so long. The Mod is not dead. At the moment it is dormant. We decided the Source engine is not the best fit for a mod of this type. HL2 is not even that friendly to FPS mods, let alone Hockey ones.

What Engine will we switch to? That's hard to say. My thinking is that the Unreal Engine(s) have been very nice to sports mods. With UT2007 stuff coming around, that is definitely a possibility. But I haven't done enough research yet to pinpoint it. There are lots of good engines out there.

On a side note, Marlon Brando will still be with us ;)

Holy Crap this mod is still going??!??! I remember *trying* to do the website when it first started off...(but failed miserably b/c I had too much going on in real life, and real life > e-life)

Keep this mod going, I'm interested in seeing it/playing it when you guys finish (whenever that is...)

by the way that side project i mentioned a few comments down has a name. Project CC. Standing of course for Calumny Cognizance. Niether the project nor the name are important enough to make news. Yes a silly name, not meaningful at all, yet quite symbolic.
