Yes, we are working on a fix. It should be on workshop sometime this week or next.

Yup. It'll be available on the GM 13 workshop soon.

Here you go: Pixeltailgames.com

I just wrote up instructions on how to install and play Elevator: Source for those who are struggling with it.

Updated ModDB profile. Sorry for the lack of communication on this website. We mainly update only our website.

Gmtower.org

We're currently in the midst of starting a new project. I'll update here when it's ready.

mo2k7,
No, we don't want people to be able to spawn stuff. That will open up a world of trouble. We'll quickly get spammers and some other nasty things happening.

You can get items for your suite at the shopping district.

War of the Worlds: The Great Adventures is dead.
I moved on to another project titled "GMod Tower".
You can find out information about this mod and it's team of 30+ here:

Sorry guys.

No, the mod will not work with GMod 9.0.4. This mod is only for GMod 10.

Rayner wrote: MacDGuy, everything you said was about the single player, you have this mod set as single and multiplayer. How will the mod work for multiplayer, if and when you get it to work, the multiplayer would probably be the best out there.

Also, why don't you create a forum, that Mod DB created a while back for mod developers?

There will be multiplayer. It will most likely be Aliens vs. Humans. The only main difference in the Aliens in multiplayer from singleplayer is the weapons. Humans and Aliens will have the sam weapons in multiplayer.
As posted at the top here is the list of multiplayer modes.
--------------------------------------------
>Multiplayer Modes

...War Mode

Classic deathmatch mode between Humans and Aliens.

...Mini War Mode

A "boxed" up little arena between Humans and Aliens.

...Assasination Mode

One person is an tripod, and the rest of the players have to destory it.

...V.I.P. Mode

A coop type mission. You have to escort the all the World Leaders to safety, without letting anyone die.

...Co-Op Mode

Play co-op missions from either one of the three single player modes or 8 other co-op designed maps.
--------------------------------------------
I would use that, but I've been busy and I haven't gotten the chance to even work one bit on the mod. I just hope it doesn't die off...like many have. I think we are the only ones that have gotten this far modding a World of the Wars mod.

==================================

Question #1: "Will you put in the Tripod's engine sound?"
Answer #1: Yes.

Question #2: "Will the tripods have baskets to pick up and place people into?"
Answer #2: We don't know. That might be next to impossible todo with Source, but we will try.

Question #3: "Will you put in the horn sound?"
Answer #3: Yes. All the sounds from the movie will be implemented. The story won't.

==================================
The mod will have it's own story. Nothing from the movie will be on this mod. The movie is too short to be made into a game, and we wouldn't be able to apply twists. In other words, you would know how it would end, therefor it would suck. The next update will explain all of this.
All the sounds form the movie, however, will be in the mod.
The designs of the Tripod and Aliens are loosly based on the movie. We want it to be unique, so the models will not look just like the movie.

Remember, the book and the movie are going to be used. Not just the movie.

It's been awhile since I've spoken here, and I'm sorry for that. If anyone was wondering where I was, I was working on MGSP.net. It's my own company and the company that will be presenting this mod to you.

Production
The production of the mod mayb seem a bit slow, and I will admit it has been lately. I just want everyone to know that this is a big project, and it will not die. We are currently working on a website and skinning the current models. I will post an update when we are finished.

Mod Team
Our old mod team has gone inactive (except for me) this is because we all have busy schedules and was feeling that this project was a little too big. Not to meantion we need alot more help. So what justin7942163 and me did was gather up a whole new team....and hope to bring back the others as well. I will alos update you on the status of that mission.

Modification Information
Many question I have to answer, so I will do my best. The tripod's design and usage in the mod is raising alot of questions.

Question #1: "How big is the tripod? Will it be the size of the strider in Half-Life 2?"
Answer #1: The tripod will be about 10 times as tall as the normal sized character in Half-Life 2. So yea, the tripod is alot bigger than the strider.

Question #2: "Will the tripods be able to snatch humans?"
Answer #2: No, this would be way to hard to code. I'll admit Source would be able to handle this kind of thing, but as of now I don't expect it to be part of the game.

Question #3: "Are the maps going to have hiding spots for the humans?"
Answer #3: Yes, lots of them, for they are a big part of the gameplay.

Question #4: "Will the tripods have sheilds? And if they do, how would the humans attack them?"
Answer #4: Yes they will, and you will not be able to attack the tripods early in the game. However, you can attack them later into the game, by aquiring some alien arsnal. The alien's weapons will be annoucned in the upcoming update.

Question #5: "How many vehicles and weapons will you be able to use?"
Answer #5: There are 4 comfirmed vehicles that you can drive: Tank, Helicoptor, Jeep, and a truck. There is a rumor going around about the tripod's being able to be driven. This rumor could be true, but I'm going to tell you all about it in the next update. There are about 9 comfirmed/planned weapons you can use: Baseball bat, magnum, sawed-off shotgun, axe, m4a1, xm-8 assault rifle, frag-grenade, rocket launcher, and the ak47. Don't forget about the slew of stolen alien weapons!

Question #6: "How soon will this mod be released, I want it now!"
Answer #6: The mod release date has not been set, please wait, you know you will.

Question #7: "How many chapters and levels is this mod planning to have?"
Answer #7: Good question, but we are not able to answer as of now. There is about 4 chapters already sketched down on the story-board, but they are yet to be finalized. I will get back to you on this.

Website
There will be more info on the website soon. We will have forums and WIP logs.

Wrap-Up
I hope this little comment will help everyone understand more of what is going on with the mod. Thanks for you support, and I'll talk to you soon.

~MacDGuy

jamesless_08 - Thanks for the input, and we will not die.

AntiSocialKindaGuy - Yes it is based off the book, some of the movie tho, but mostly of our own ideas.

PhoenixRisinG - We are currently making our of design of the tripod, the model is almost done and I will release it.

DESTROYER - Wow...what a small world, Vengadragon made that and said it was original, so I just came up with a name for it...I'll change the name to it's real name thanks.

Rybry - It's based on modern day.

WarHawk - Just to let you know, we added your assasination mode, THANKS!

WarHawk, thats a great idea! I'll have to see what we can do on that assasination mode. I'll have to add that when we get a good coder going. Also this mod is different from the others, becuase this one is based on the movie more than the book. And by what I can tell the other mods are not being worked on or dropped. Check by this mod every so often I'm thinking about putting some screens.
