Guys I don't know if any of you ever played GangWars for HL1. I thought it was by far one of the most incredible mods ever released for HL1 and it was a load of fun. Sadly the stopped it's production, and moved it over to the UT engine. After that I'm almost positive it died. I think that GangWars on the Source engine would be amazing and a big hit. It would not be that hard to create either, considering it's a conversion from CS:S with a couple tweaks and coding changes. I'm gonna start pulling a team together if there is enough interest. What do you guys think? Would anyone like to help out?
 
theres already a ton of mods that are like that but also you cant mod css:s i dont think or atleast not easily.

I'm the skinner for BG2, a mod that's been around for almost 5 years, unlike your Zombie Master game which is like the masses of other zombie based games. But away from your stupidity. Parts of CS:S can be ported out of the game with the HL2 SDK. Check for yourself. I don't know if you read what I posted wrong, but it is indeed possible to port aspects of CS:S into your mod easily.

you obviously know nothing of his mod and couldnt produce a mod as brilliant as that if your life depended on it. also the fact that you were a texture artist for a big mod doesnt really mean that you arnt clueless about modding as all you use is psp to draw textures.

and if you want to prove your not clueless about modding why dont you produce this mod all by yourself. also im fairly sure you cant mod cs:s as its just the old game ported over.

You obviously know nothing about Zombie Master then.
 
I've never seen anything about Zombie Master. It could be the greatest game in the world but I know its website has a magic the gathering card and nothing else, so I've never seen anything about it. But I do know I don't go into people threads just to trash them. There are 1,000 mods posted on this forums where people can't spell in the descriptions, or it's a nonsense idea. If he wants to come in here and shit all over my idea, then I can sure as hell do it to the mod he works for. And crackhead you sir are retarded. Are you saying skinning is an easy job compared to all others in modding? Cuz I'm sure there are alot of skinners who would disagree. It's pure opinion. And I couldn't make a mod by myself. Are you like Angry Lawyers bum buddy? Mod someone please close this thread, I'll take it to a forum where I'll get mature responses out of members. Thanks for teaming up on someone who asked if people were interested.
 
hey angry lawyer,, do you have to slouch with all those people hanging off your nuts?? :D:D:D


sorry I just had to go there :D

Google is your friend...try it out.

It may not be a true CS:S mod...but it sure as hell looks and sounds like it.

Mmm... I don't know about brilliant, but "Very Creative and Awesome" is probably apt.

Anyway, at the moment I'm not really interested in any mods that aren't introducing some new an/or interesting concept (or, at the very least, not repeating a very old formula). GangWars is all well and good, but i see no reason why we should bother porting it... if the original team didn't/couldn't do it, I doubt we should/can. Perhaps there isn't the audience for it.

I agree, instead of taking something that was good then, and just porting it, make your own ideas. You can base them on the original game, but unless you were a Dev on the team, you really have no right to say "let's rip off a HL1 mod!". So maybe you should go think a while, write things down. Find what you want in a game, and isn't available at the moment. Then come back and try again. I guarantee this will get the results you desire.

The second I see a nub like you start dissing regular members, I stop caring completely about the thread, start becomming concerned with your attitude, and hope that you don't plan on staying on the forums very long.
 
yes i am saying skinning is an easuy job compared to others partiucly coding.
 
So, wait... he's a skinner talking about wanting to port a mod that requires almost zero skinning (since you just rip off other people's models/skins)? What, exactly, would his job entail?

BTW, as you are new here... we should probably mention that it's sort of Angry Lawyer's hobby to go around the editing sections of the forum randomly crushing the dreams of people wishing to make a mod. It's his thing. Well, that and praising His Royal Highness, Jon Bon Jovi and the Archduke Richie Sambora of Rockingham. :p
 
I'm glad this guy got shut down before wasting the time of talented modders out there.

If somebody is going to start a mod team, it should be a coder. He's the one that trully understands the effort that needs to go into a mod. Any other positions starting a mod just seems a tad greedy.

I'm also sure as hell glad that this guy doesn't plan on comming back.

Fabulous consistency.
 
I'd write a witty reply to this thread, but I believe sufficient smackdown has been applied.

And you'll all hear quite a bit about ZM in the coming weeks.

oh boy he sure did, no doubts there! go angry lawyer!!! I love you very long time!!
 
Have you tried contacting the guys who made the original GangWars yet?
 
Yea, alot of links/website having dealt with their games are dead. I couldn't find an active contact, and since I got shot down so bad here I figured I should search for a mod like it. There is actually one in development called Gang-Life for the Source engine. It's relatively new but they've got some models done. I hope it comes out well, GangWars was such a great game.
 
So in a way, being shot down helped you not waste a great deal of time organising a team for a type of mod that's already being worked on. :P

Still, you should ask to join Gang-Life's team. Never heard of GangWars personally.
