    Nice lighting, but where are the details? There is nothing to see in your museum...

    Oh don't worry, I will be spending the next 2000 hours of my life modeling works of art in 3dsmax so you can have something nice to look at in between 2 frags. I already started on some da Vinci stuff... estimated beta3 release is summer 2018.

    Do you work for Black Mesa by any chance? Some of the other devs on the dev forum were on about making a Smash TV mod. If you're not on the team, then I'll let them know about this project!

    No I'm not on the Black Mesa team... would be really cool if you could let them know about this/me! Thanks!

    Your design document is an IRC log.

    This irc log is not a design document.

    There is no design document because I'm not pretending to be the guy who's gonna manage the team and give orders. I'm just a mapper with an idea trying to find a programmer to collaborate with me and work as a team to get a project started.

    I figured if I ever find a programmer, then we'll have plenty of time to elaborate a design document togheter. The key word here is togheter. Of crouse if there's a programmer out there who's interested in programming but doesn't wanna have anyting to do with the mod design, I'll make it work too.

    Also, if there's a modeler or graphic artist out there interested in joining me in this quest to find a programmer, do not hesitate to get in touch!

    Hi, I'm currently mapping for the hl2 mod Fortress Forever. I've been wanting to do a Smash TV mod for hl2 for a long time but never got the chance to get in touch with a coder so I had renounced until yesterday when I got a conversation going with someone in the ffbeta irc chan... So here I am again, trying to get a coder to jump on this idea with me. I'll let you read yesterday's log, I think it's pretty informative and that's all I got so far:

    I wanna make a Smash TV mod for hl2

    I'm in.

    coop play, 8ppl

    top down view

    lots of simple monster models

    God yeah.

    I'm so in.

    I'm so in it's ridiculous.

    lol ok stop making fun of me now

    I'm not, dude

    i am, secretly

    I'd love a Smash TV mod.

    That game ruled.

    heh

    yeah,

    Rack up some ridiculous cash gettin' cheered on by hot girls while you murder dudes en masse.

    What's not to like?

    I can make textures and maps lol...

    Oh those would be easy.

    the whole mod would be easy.

    seriously tho it would be awesome, Ive been thinking about it alot

    It'd be pretty easy to make I think.

    it would just be pure fun madness

    yeah its not too complicated too

    Just get some maps that accomodate top-down play, modify some stock HL2 weapons.

    xactly

    Make some simple player models.

    And write some good AI.

    Ai doesnt even need to be good lol

    just follow players

    HL2 bots would prolly work.

    need very simple monster models so that it doesnt lag too much with many on screen

    Right, right.

    They're top-down anyway and hyper zoomed-out so who cares?

    but yeah... imagine 8 ppl coop killing monsters and stuff

    xactly

    You'd only need hi-poly shit for the announcer segments.

    Explaining the awesome prize you just won.

    lol

    With hot bikini girls.

    I'd LOOOVE to map for that

    Dude.

    Fuckin' do it.

    Make the map and move the default camera in the SDK.

    How hard could it be?

    i cant code for shit or the mod would already exist man

    lol.

    I wonder if we can get a hold of anyone.

    Who can codezor.

    It's easy, seriously.

    good luck

    Would the camera be stuck in the center of the room or would it hover over the player?

    I was thinking stuck

    that way everyone sees the same thing

    of the arena

    might be easier to code the camera to hover over the player tho

    Yeah.

    Less concern over perspective as well.

    as long as the arena doesnt extend too far out of the player view when you stand in corner

    you know what i mean

    Right.

    you got me all excited again... not cool. lol

    rofl.

    coop is the future of online play too

    Oh sure.

    But DM would be fun, too.

    dm what

    player vs player lol

    ?

    Imagine it. Eight players duking it out against each other, while also making sure they don't get taken down by waves of monsters.

    hahah

    Ah man.

    yeah, lets of variations can be made without too much coding

    lots*

    there could be a mode "protect the chick"

    where a chick walks in the arena

    and you have to kill monsters before they get her

    Wasn't that also in the original?

    dunno

    I can see it now.

    i only played Super Smash TV

    KEEP THE GIRL ALIVE!

    then the dude just, like

    turns and shoots the girl in the head

    Announcer: "COOOOOOLD BLOODED! $5,000 BONUS!"

    rofl.

    I'm sure we can bribe aftershock or mulchman to work for us

    Doubt it.

    Mulchie's hard enough to get working on FF.

    And Aftershok is a busy bitch.

    lol i know i was kidding

    Oh okay.

    they have enough with ff

    but yeah

    if we could just get 1 coder interested

    to start slowly

    im up for mapping that shit for sure

    So yeah... First thing to do would be to change the camera view to bird eye view like hovering over the players. Then we can build up from there slowly... As soon as I get a coder on this, I'm gonna start mapping for it. If you wanna see my work, download Fortress Forever 2.0 and create a server on map ff_dropdown. http://www.fortress-forever.com for more info.
