If I had the time or resources, some things I wish I could do are....
…..Learn how to make a UT2k4 video. I don’t want to make an “OMG, I’m more 1337 than U!” video. Let’s face it. I’m not more “leet” than your average Joe. I want to make a video for cinematic purposes, such as taking a certain song and applying it to UT2k4, using staged “acting”, synchronization, etc. to interpret the song. I’ve got a few songs that have been in my head for some time, and every time I hear them I can picture in my mind exactly how it could be played out in a 2k4 video.
…..Learn how to make models and skins. There are several skins that I’d love to make and see in this game that I can visualize but don’t know how to create. There are other custom skins/models that I’ve seen that I would love to redo because I think they could be much, much better.
…..Learn how to map. I’ve got ideas for a couple of CTF maps, but I just don’t have the time to learn how to do them. Also, I’ve got an idea on combining two maps from two similar but different game types to make a unique map. I’ve pretty much got the entire design in my head, but just don’t know how and don’t have the time to create it.
…..Learn some useful gaming skills that would be beneficial for me to know. An example is shield jumping. I can do a simple shield jump, but I rarely use it. Shield jumping is extremely useful in CTF, but I have just never taken the time to master it. I’d like to be able to do such things as climb the front of the base in Maul with the shield gun so you can go through the window with the flag. Things like that. I know the principle of how they’re done, I just haven’t been able to actually practice doing them.
