Fort Mod for Half-Life 2

The main premise for this mod is to help your team build the fort that will surround you, and make sure it is sturdy and protective, utilizing Half-Life 2's physics and materials system. While building however, welding will be taking place, and many many things may be welded into the fort's walls; some of which may grant you victory or leave you in defeat. For instance, when there arn't enough supplies to build your fort at home what do you do? Improvise! Then we can start welding chairs and dumpsters and trash cans to our walls, whatever is necassary to keep up your fort.

Many other ideas are going to be explored in the development of this mod, as Half-Life 2's source is readily available and seems to be endlessly expandable. Although, the above is the main idea for the mod, we will not be limited whatsoever, and hope to receive lots of suggestions from the community and mod builders alike. Some other ideas for this mod are:

After you build the forts maybe the other team needs to use medieval seige weapons to see if they can take it down. Running with this idea would insue a point system; need more points for better artillary or materials. You can either go all out artillary vehicles and a have a weak fort, or have a Dominant Fort, but weak Seige weapons.

Scramble! The materials to build your fort are in a nuetral zone in the middle of a map, but either team can take them. Each person can only take one at a time to bring back to the supply pile. Supplies are limited though, so the team with the fastest grabbers may be the winners......however what if we incorporate a system where you can pick up a huge peice of metal or slab of rock with your gravity gun, but only if somone else on your team helps you out with it, by shooting his/her grav gun beam at the metal along side yours. Of Course this would be a LOT of protection, but the two people who have to carry it back will be very slow.

Although we do have some dedicated team members, we do need people who are interested in hepling with the development and creation of this mod. Coders, Moddlers, Skinners, Mappers, ect.
