May 29, 2008 Multiplayer Map 1 commentThe CS:S map Zentech Office, a map thats tied to the mod's Zentech storyline.
Zentech
Half-Life 2 mod | TBD
257 years after the combine invasion on Half-lIfe 2. Known throughout the galaxies is Crazy commander Andrews, known firstly for the saving Earth and secondly for the extremely high price he's willing to pay for rare items such as Gordon's HEV suit from back in the day's of HL2. Or a piece of the halo that was blown up 50 years ago.
Infact, Crazy commander Andrews has so much CRZ money he can aford to cross the galaxies on an old fasioned Combine core cargo ship.
Rather then using the latest technology. Sadly however, Commander Andrews did not get all of the Zentech invadors when he saved Earth, and the few that survived have come back for revenge these 7 years later.
A hl2 ep1 based mod set in the future of hl2. Your a crazy comander of a cargo ship and your A.I. computer likes to play Portal, or sing about candy, whenever it's not working for you.
Some of the mod's features:
Features
#1. Throughout 80% of the mod the player will be accompanied by the
voice and direction of his ships A.I. computer named LarryLoy. LarryLoy
has a few emotion chips to many and likes to play jokes on the player,
It’s favorite things to do when the player doesn’t need him is play
Portal and sing about candy, Or just pretend it doesn’t exist.
#2. Although uncompleted I am 80% sure I will be able to create a
computer using Source’s I/O system. The player will be able to use the
computer to control the ships power settings, play odd games, read up
on the latest galaxy news. And all using only 6 keys.
Once completed this computer may be the most advanced / complicated I/O
work in the source community. The reason for that is because it’s
madness to attempt this without custom code, however I cant code so I
am forced to take the path of madness.
If all goes as planed, my brain will explode 7 times in the creation of
this computer, and it will use 100+ Logic_relay’s, 50+ Logic_Compare’s,
10+ Game_Ui’s, 15+ Poin_Camera’s, 125+ Custom textures, 25+ Func_Doors,
50+ Func_Rotating_Door’s, 1 Func_Monitor, 50+ env_sprite’s, 1 custem
skybox, 4 fake skybox’s, a few Math_counters, some Logic_Auto’s, and
probably another whole list that I cant think of right now.
And by the time I finish with the 1000s of I/O’s my mind will probably
be in he state that I will start playing with the entities and
arranging them in funny shapes even though the player will ever see
them.
#3. For those Modders out there, all custom content and perhaps even the computer will be available for anyone to use.

Falleen9,
Heh heh, your right it's pretty hard to understand with what I typed. I'll re-type the thing later tonight and have my buddy throw it up on here.
But to answer your questions;
1. This is 257 years after the HL2 storyline. And because of the way I'm building the mod it's funny if I say Commander Andrews owns a peice of the Halo, from Halo. It doesn't really have anything to do with the storyline, but may if there are more episodes of this mod.
2. The world in which this mod storyline is set is a world where there are several aliens liveing in diferant solar systems throughout the galexies, and the hero of our story 'Commander Andrews' has a reputation throughout those galexies as a crazy earth man who has to much money and spends all his time shipping cargo from one solar system to another colecting rare items for his personal library.
3. His name is Andrews, and thats all. Due to his reputation his title is 'Crazy Commander', So I call him Crazy Commander Andrews.
4. After Gordon freeman wipes out the combine from earth in the hl2 storyline more aliens fight over earth for the next 250 years, then Commander Andrews comes along and saves earth from the race of Zentech aliens who were currantly ruleing over earth. And thats where he got the name Crazy Commander Andrews.
Constructive criticism is always wellcome, same are ideas. :-D
TannerBondy, This is 6 maps, wound togeather with a storyline, bad guys, crazy A.I. computer, and a reputation.
So it's just a map pack then?
.
If Map packs normally have custom content, menus, and storylines then yes it's a mappack.
But I call it a mod.
.
COOL!
1. Sigh, Well only ever got to play Halo 1. I guess there is a small change in the storyline then. "The year is 3333, And Crazy commander blah blah blah---" Problem solved. :-D
I think the reason I first wanted it to be 257 years is because I was thinking of what 64*2*2+5-4 would be.
2. Well for this storyline I'm thinking there are only a few alien races in each galaxy. But the main reason is that it sounds cooler if you say "Known throughout the galexies." Or at least it sounds better then "Known throughout the multiple solar systems in one or mor galexies."
3. :-D
4. Well we know that ep3 is the end of the story arch. So we can assume that the combine either win or loss in ep3. And we know Gordon will live through it becuase there is a hint of a HL4 (Which I would call HL3) So we can assume Gordon lives. Now Godron liveing and Combine wining just dontt seem to fit togeather So I am asumeing Gordon gets rid of the combine or makes it so the rest of earth can finish the job. Either way it's not really a huge detail in the Zentech Storyline.
5. o, wait, there isn't a 5. heh heh.
Cool, I'm gonna add you right now.
Nicadeamas:
One or two inconsistencies to point out after clarification.
1: Halo: Combat Evolved takes place in 2552, and the latest Half Life 2 Episode 2 runs in the time-line is somewhere between 2019 and 2029, so the implication of 257 years after Half Life 2's ending is still off almost 300 years (266 years to be exact.. Hey Its the weekend and I have nothing else better to do :P ).
2: You are still saying galaxies. Not to sound harsh but you do know that there are thousands if not more solar systems in one *galaxy* (Which is the singular form of the word). I can't take that point any farther unless I can figure out the logic behind it.
3. Understood, that one was more of a joke anyway.
4. Refer to point 1 for my stance on the time-line, but I also have to one up on your plot point to say that there is no guarantee that Gordon Freeman does indeed take out the combine in the events of Half Life 2 or any of its episodes (Including Episode 3 which has yet to be released). Gordon does set them back a ton on Earth but the fight isn't over yet.
Hope you can clear these up for me, but I'm also offering my help if you want/need it for development or story or whatever. I'm fairly good at fabricating Sci-Fi stories and I have a bit of experience in modeling and concept drawings, plus I can do voice-over work if necessary. Let me know if your interested my email is: Falleen9@Gmail.com but also post the responses to my questions here if possible to clarify for the good people of ModDB what this mod is about.
-Falleen9
So basically this is just a map?
I'm sorry I can't follow the storyline. I overlooked the grammar which isn't really that big of a deal but the plot as described in the description is disjointed and difficult to grasp. So I have a few questions to help clear things up if you don't mind.
1. Halo? Like THE halo? Like Master Chief Halo? Is this some kind of strange crossover?
2. You use the word galaxies multiple times in the description, which tends to point to intergalactic travel not just interstellar inside our galaxy?
3. His whole name is "Crazy Commander Andrews" Or is "Crazy Commander" more of a title? I'm sure his mom doesn't call him "Crazy Commander Andrews" right?
4. He saved the world, in space? More than one? Earth? Our Solar System "Sol"?
Keep in mind this is just some constructive criticism from someone who is completely lost after reading the description twice and still has no idea what your mod is truly about other than coding without knowing scripting is hard and you will somehow become the best source I/O programmer for completing your AI system.
Just my two cents.
I think you missed the point.
As far as I can tell, it's supposed to make no sense.
Erm, so my post was deleted because it wasn't? Right... now it's very clear... And actually, I wasn't rude in making my point, unless the new definition of 'rude' is pointing out mistakes.
.
Sorry, I threw away my life in Grammer for a life of Hammer. ;-}
I'll get all that spelling and grammer worked out ASAP.
For the first half of the mod the player will be solveing a few puzzles, and navigateing his way around. He will also be driveing things and playing on a fake computer.
For the 2nd half of the mod the player will be invadeing the bad guys base and killing anyone in his way on his way to the roof.
