However I might be able to help on creating simple objects. Like boxes, computers, terminals, well all kind of small items in the game. So called entities.
Sure, those are precisely what I currently don't have.
It would be awesome if you could model some of those.
I just updated the
project page. I translated the page to English for you guys, but more importantly, for all the modeling wizards I added a list of props I am going to need to make a somewhat working Hammer mockup of the starting room. Some of the props listed in there are quite simple shapes, so they should only take a moment for those who know what they're doing..
There's naturally the matter of collision detection and other minutiae to work out but I'd rather hear specifically what info you (not Cyberion personally, potential modellers in general) need from me than try and have a go at blindly explaining it all.
However I fear that I won't have time to put something into texturing. Cause I hate texturing actually and it always takes me twice more time to texture a model rather than create it lol. So in this case, we will need a texturer for my models.
I wonder if Blender can import Lightwave models? And I also wonder if it would be easy enough for me to do.
I quite like texturing, it's... pretty. It's just me, probably.
Btw I work in Lightwave and as far as I know, there is importer of LWO files into the source engine.
I'll get back to you on that. But I'm absolutely positive Lightwave can export at least
some filetype supported by the Source model importer.
What I wanted to ask you Jupix is, how do you imagined this mod anyway?
Do you wanted to make a simple mappack with custom models and sounds or do you wanted to make a real mod with all custom code and new enemies and such?
In my (somewhat limited) experience, there is hardly any difference between the two. Currently, Regret as a Source mod is as real as it gets, it was compiled from a bulk of C++ Steam spat out. All that can be tinkered with to add features but as of now, it's just vanilla HL2 base.
So far everything has been easy, modding Half-Life 2 is well documented. I have a feeling modeling will work out from now on.
As for coding and scripting, that remains a question, but I'm confident someone with the necessary skills will stumble upon Regret before long.
I'm an okay sound editor... I can probably enhance all the original sounds from No Regret and make them more modern.
Sounds very cool.
On this front, the first thing that should be done I guess is sound effects for player interaction, meaning doors, switches, elevators, and the like.
On another note, have you guys all got a copy of Half-Life 2? Because otherwise it would be kind of difficult to show off what we've accomplished, in the future.
Thanks for your continued interest
Jupix
