always wanted to do... Thread

a contra mod with the quake3 engine. sidescrolling and all. They are coming out with a new contra out on playstation2, but i would love to get a mod team together and remake contra 1 with sidescrolling all that shit, just updated graphics. and make it 3 person multiplayer servers allowing level selection, and custom level development.

that would so rock.

Coming from a background of no real extensive modding knowledge (been a humble newsie) is it quite possible to radically change how the game engine runs via a mod such as this one, which sees a 3D engine enter the realm of 2D

phoar, some nice words used in that

well i cant really speak, i do not mod quake 3, but i dont see it as impossible. your just deal with angles, and you can lock the camera in a 3rdperson view on a hard right angle, i dont see it as impossible, all maps are made on a wall of sorts, and the rest seems fairly simple.

as for the 2d aspect, i saw on planethalflife about 6months ago something about a mod called project gallieo, it was a side scrolling-platform game

There were a few for Quake1...think one of them was called Target Quake. It was kinda hard, because the old "slippery feet" thing from Quake was still in there, it made me fall in da lava too many times

Target Quake3. ZEROPING.COM hosts it.

Kinda like contra, kinda like crack dot com's abuse. Too bad the mod halted after earning fame from PCGamer....

For target quake (love the "Go Quake Guy!"), avatar.telefragged.com

Natural selection works from above side scroll cant be that hard if you make an invisible wall and thin isle for the character to walk along.

YES! I too have had this idea, back when i played target quake 3. But, I think it would be better to come up with new characters/weapons/badguys/maps, as stealing visual concepts from konomi could result in being FOXed.

im game to create it.

i was briefly in a teenage mutant ninja turtle arcade game remake mod for q3,
with the side scrolling action, i made this map, but it kinda fell thru,
due to lack of help.
