Erwin_Br Posted August 14, 2004 Very creative and interesting. How do these guys come up with such a concept!? --Erwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted August 15, 2004 Maybe it's just me, but I'm not one for planning projects for an as yet unreleased engine or tool. Sure, it's not like Half-Life 2 is going to go the way of SCRAMM, but surely there are problems that you won't even know whether or not you can solve prior to actually getting the tools?

Marek Posted August 15, 2004 Robert: very true, though on the other hand, modders are getting plenty of opportunities to prepare. Based on the available information, seminars and presumably the SDK*, you can already begin asset creation, such as the models, sound, etc. Also, it's alledgedly very easy to import HL1 maps into HL2, so I suppose some very rough mapping could be done. * Has it been released? I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intrepid Homoludens Posted August 16, 2004 I've never seen a velvet ant before! Awwww, I think I'm in love! Which insect/class are you guys gonna pick? I think I should play a wasp, not sure which class yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwall Posted August 16, 2004 What's with these telepathic insects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kode Posted August 16, 2004 I think I'll use the double barrelled mandibles of death-47. I've heard and seen many such 'mods' going around for many games, and frankly, hardly any of them ever finish. Hopefully this doesn't go the way of the dodo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erwin_Br Posted August 16, 2004 No insect has ever escaped my electronic fly-swatter-racket thingamajig. I'm pretty sure they're not telepathic, or I'd never fry them like I do. Fig. 1: The best invention since sliced bread. --Erwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salka Posted August 16, 2004 HAHAHA!!! And finally, somebody figured out how much fun it is to PING wasps with badminton racquets. I don't think an electric version would be as fun, somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The smell is a bit unpleasant, but the blue sparks and the knispering sound is priceless. --Erwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted August 16, 2004 No way. The fun part is to hear the PING as they fly across the yard and then, you hunt down their little writhing bodies, and put them in a jar with some crushed lorel leaves, which releases cyanide into their lungs. And if that doesn't kill them, they'll all sting themselves to death. Have you ever searched for a single dying wasp in a huge yard full of yellow-brown pebbles? You can almost taste the blood. The yellow, pus-like wasp blood, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Br Posted August 16, 2004 Well, you convinced me. I'll try a casual racquet tomorrow. But I don't think I'll be able to find them in our plant-infested yard. I'd even lose a horse in there. --Erwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
