Unreal 2 Add-on [Help Wanted]

Unreal 2 Mod [Help Wanted]

I got Unreal II a little while ago and while I thought it was fun I think the gameplay can be expanded upon in a few areas. This expansion will come in the form of a new game, but still maintains it's presence within the Unreal universe. I ask that any mappers, model makers/skin makers, and anyone that can do static meshes, sounds music, AI coding, and are interested in the idea of a single player add-on to Unreal II, - dieing_ninja@yahoo.com

So what job will you be doing on this mod?

How many people do you already have?

Hunter · Feb 13, 2004

i'd be willing to do a few maps but i already have mod on my hands

Answers -

I want to expand on the ship intermission that Unreal II had in it. So I'd make that (finish it really), do the scritped events for it aswell as dialog and so forth, I'd probably do one or two missions. Also I will work on developement of the characters and the story board for the mod. Have the beginning and end for it already....need the filling.......hammer that sorta thing out once the group is made. -> There is me, my friend mercenary and someone who replied from my 3dbuzz posting - radford88. The sooner the team is made with qualified ppl, the sooner this project becomes underway....

PS do either of you know how to make it so that the player start will spawn you w/ the skin of a medium marine

Seem's pretty interesting, I'm currently working on a mod for the multiplayer but if all goes well I wanted to make a Horror-Themed Mod for Singleplayer..

If you need my help for coding i'm here, just pm me and i'll be glad to help

PS check out irc://irc.gamesurge.net/xmp.assault

Yeah

I'm practically living on forums now X_X -> yah, if we can do it then we will

-> the it? you may wonder? employ horror into the game.....I'd love to scare the $#!% outta ppl -> there will be those CERTAIN missions you know

.....look forward to working with you aswell as spm and hunter....btw hunter - sounds good

I'd love to scare the $#!% outta ppl

I already crapped my pants in the elevator in mission 1.. (the end of the demo)

-eVo:ApHeX- · Feb 13, 2004

I want it to be like a horror movie though

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

Lol

Well not all the way through it....otherwise it jsut becomes a horror....nah I want the horror to come out of no where....I don't want ppl to be looking around corners fearing what may come I want them to step around it and take care of the food they ate that morning.

Or at least it sounds like a good idea

-eVo:ApHeX- · Feb 13, 2004

My suggestion:

You start off in a small town in the middle of nowhere: it's raining and it's just gone past sunset. You watch as a convoy of cars escorting a Truck drive through, a flash of lightning hits a tree blocking the road.

You being a good citizen go out and help clear the road by rolling the tree into the water below. You catch something you shouldn't of seen, and get shoved down into the water and blackout...

You wake up edged up on a rock next to a water-passage, after waking up you pick yourself up and head up the passage-way and walk along the dirt-road into the nearest town.

It's a basic storyline i've done off the top of my head but when i get a chance to work in a proper one you'll understand what i'm trying to do

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

...ooo = new spin

Okay, but not entirely in tune with the mod - say you and your team of marines land on a world and are seeking out something (dunno-hammer it ou t), and you get split up trying to search through this town/city/village w/e and well you get taken out and away from your team......time to lock and load in a solo mission.........

Dunno if that was the kinda horror i was aiming for but no worries.....creating a story line will be done ->
Dunz-Team Leader
Meyer-Sniper/covert operative
Dodson- Demolitions and Heavy Arms Specilist
O`Riley- Munitions Officer
Hammond- Pilot of the dropship "Eagle"
You (needs a name)- Operations Analysis Officer

Yeah .......The Forsaken Strike Force

adeu

PS - Aphex sounds like your onboard....are you?

spm1138 · Feb 13, 2004

You could do it FF3 stylee and switch between characters.

You could do blast-em-up levels for your gunner, sneaky/snipey levels for your sniper, maybe some tech/demolitionist type levels for someone else. < Idea stolen from MDK2.

It would also make for some interesting narrative possibilities.

Storyline suggestion:
Your team are part of a detachment from an elite SOF unit. Your patrol has been tasked with destroying the a which is vital to the police action the Marine Corps are currently engaged in because b.

This mission is to take plaze on world c. The plan (hah!) calls for conventional forces to rapidly seize the spaceport and secure a beachhead while commandos raid several strategic targets (y'know, orbital defence batteries, that kind of thing).

Obviously it all goes tits up, your team somehow get seperated (botched insertion by parachute?) but you still have to somehow link up and hit your objectives so the invasion doesn't fail.
I'm thinking dropships crashing left right and center like in Black Hawk Down.
Lost patrols of grunts like Halo.
Also intel being wrong and the airfield needing parachuting onto like in Urgent Fury.

Lots of running around behind enemy lines making things go BOOM!

Don't listen to me though, I know nothing and cannot contribute anything useful to your mod

-eVo:ApHeX- · Feb 13, 2004

Yeh why not

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

oooo suggestions :}

SPM - sounds pretty good...maybe for a mission or two ......the point of the player being the operations analysis officer is to get the rundown or the specifics on a mission/objective/planet/enemy - or not.....but if he does he can set in motion some of the teams features like O`Riley can stock the weapons that you deem necessary to go in with..... you will collaborate in some manner with your team......or not.....but you are the new best hope for getting your team safely through missions.....and it will matter that they survive through each or thats what I would like to happen X_X ->>>btw it takes place during the escallations of the Corporation wars.....http://www.unrealtournament.com/ <<Unreal Universe link

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

btw....you are the ...well "uber" of all marines you will go into any mission and you will come out standing.....or thats the primace.....

Andr01d · Feb 13, 2004

So what will it be like? like more maps for U2.. or different gameplay too? (vehicles??

)

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

oooo

Didn't consider vehicles, if we can get a coder and such to make em then by all means we could sit down and work it out.........there will be new features in the gameplay and it will be different from U2's base feeling.........

-eVo:ApHeX- · Feb 13, 2004

I'm a coder.. remember

Dead_Metal · Feb 13, 2004

...

and you can do that kinda coding?.....sweet.......now we need a model maker w/ skinner too...... and discuss what kinda vehicles we're talking about.........nothing like xmp and ut2k4......although inspiration does work in funny ways.....definitely a version of the "Eagle" which we already have the static mesh for

Alter the ini, or better yet make one for your MOD.
