  • FUBAR Ops

    Counter-Strike has a good balance between realism and fun. Yes, it may not be the most realistic mod by any means, but it had enough of it before it became boring and drab. I still love it.

    On your mod mawibse, sorry to say but if I see another m4a1 or mp5 tactical op game I tend to puke. So far what you've mentioned offers nothing new to what all the other mods of the genre have done already, besides one or two little things that wouldn't be enough. Maybe if your mod was set to getting the genre done right maybe. But this genre has been done fairly well and enough times. For example, I know there's TONS of Dragonball Z mods, but none have done it right yet, there has been like 2 out of the hundred that aren't completly terrible crap.

    Further Counter-Strike 2 is going to give people what they want with better and more impressive graphics which further shows that this mod idea won't work. I really think you just have to consider what I and the people are saying, when we say, "This mod isn't going to work. Bad idea."

    As for creative ideas, I would tell either way, they're mine.

    Great one Bic-B@ll, those wads are huge. I'll be posting my old nub wad that I used on cs_thestation soon once I get it uploaded. It has like lots of crappy old style textures but it has a couple good ones that I still use today.

  • another debate on story telling in shooter games

    First of all, I recently played FarCry and it's voice acting is fucking retarded. It should get a prize for being so crap. Detracts so much from the game for me. This is NOT what you want for S.T.A.L.K.E.R i'm assuming that is the game in question. Cause that game looks kickass and I don't want to see it fucked up.

    Second of all, the game seems to have a dark silent atmosphere, if anything go with the choice that suites the game itself. If you can get good voice actors I would say go for it. But something on par with Grim Fandango's voice acting, which is brilliant. You could always try it out, if it's not great, don't have it. That simple. I personally feel for some reason the game should have voice acting, if so a it shouldn't be overdone. Just a average guys voice, slightly deep, but not try hard. He's not Wolverine. This would help with scenes between NPC's and avoid it being a one-way conversation. It would even be stunning if there were at times choices. The problem with FarCry is also that the voice comes too "unannounced", if you have a scene where marine hard ass man comes into contact with a npc woman character, you could have ambience music / sound to aid the voice actings punch. Two way conversion also makes it feel like there's a "connection" between characters. On the other hand I aggree with Taylor, that's the catch Half-Life had, no voice does work well in making YOU Gordon. If the character spoke in Half-Life the experience wouldn't have been the same.

    ANYWAYS, that's my opinion ... hope it helped.

  • The Collective : URBAN

    I've come to the realization that I don't like my textures that I own anymore. I came up with the idea for a thread that would combine or rather act as a active source of textures. By placing them here you must acknowledge that all textures are free for use but if so credit must be given. I know alot of maps and people hold out on some good stuff to use for themselves, but if you can ... share and share alike.

    The theme for now is URBAN urgo city buildings, pavements and stuff of the like. If you have full wad links that are GOOD then excellent, if you want to pimp singles, go for it. Try not to spam the shit out of this thread please. Just want it to be a cool source to help people in the know.

  • Goodbye cruel world.

    I hope this isn't an April fools joke, if so it ain't funny. But anways, if it is true. I'll say my bit.

    I may not be old school, but it was cool talking to ya for the time that I did see you in the core. Goodluck, being with loved ones seems to be a major theme in my life lately.

  • Why lock topics. It's just NOT FUNNY sometimes - Ewok

    Recently I glanced the mapcore forums once again. Since I hadn't done so in a while. Then I saw the Gay Marriages topic and my mouth started to water. Then I proceeded to click on the topic and prepared to post my reply. Then I saw 6 pages of replies and guessed what the debate had become about. So instead of just inserting something I decided to read all entire 6 pages (took awhile) so as to equip myself to say something relevant to the matter at hand. As I get to page six, Mojo locks it. I nearly died. That's just not funny. I really wanted to have my say, but out of respect for him as moderator I won't.

    It just sucks.

    This topic was written twice as upon posting something went wrong. It took a while to wright out the fricken' first time. Something doesn't want be to post. It's not my day, someone throw me a coke.

  • I wish it was fake.

    He meantioned and acknowledged Satan. Proof that God exists.

    How people can do such things I don't know. I would personally say it was the lack of God in that man, even people with no christian belief though don't do such terrible things as he did. Seems he had no moral standing or maybe he was aware and just doesn't care. Either way, he shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets every again in his current state.

  • Hostile Intent

    I disagree with Arc back in page 1, VALVe wasn't the one that polished those models really. It started getting pretty and smooth before they officially got there hands on it. <-- Talking about Counter-Strike btw.

  • HL1 map fence prop

    Frie is talking about the map in general. Yeah I agree, it's a fresh idea. Looks somewhat different in theme to most Counter-Strike maps out there. Lighting isn't very good so far, but i'm sure it'll improve. My complaint would be that the terrain on the right when it comes to the road is like perfectly vertical, and doesn't look too good imo. Like the model, 10 points, very practical to use. The map area to the right also kinda reminds me of dod_avalanche. Anyways I'd say good job.

    *EDIT* Btw, you can make func_walls block light, which would then create a shadow for you. Just make the func_wall loosely assume the same shape of the fencing.
