Base building has as far as know never been done in a mod for HL, not counting sentries and things. Obviously keeping it a FPS people couldn't really build bases, like in a RTS. BattleZone had that, but it didn't work all that well. So the mapper could build the buildings, then the players have to get some sort of resources somehow. It would be easy enough to code. Mapping would also be easy.

It has been done in a way in S&I, but with scientists instead of 'resources'. Once buildings have been built they may offer more armor, weapons, perhaps even vehicles. I was thinking about using a timeframe in the near future, so no present day weapons(boring), but still bullets.

I'm not going to pursue this idea in the HL engine and certainly not as a full mod. I'm just going to use it to mess around in UT2K3 coding. The more and more I think about it, the more and more it seems like S&I though, but with a base that grows, instead of a menu to choose upgrades.

Tell me what you think. Has it been done before? Any problems?

I know it does, but that isn't focused on resource gathering, this mod isn't aiming to be a RTS. The only reference to it in my post was saying the base building couldn't be like in a RTS.

sounds good, but can you get into an overview of the base? otherwise, placement would be very interesting, mayde a place you can go with blueprints of the base so far, and a place where you can design your ideal base?
