This idea isn't exactly for a mod as such its just something ive been thinking about for along time but nothing like HL 2 came along for me to give it deep thought.
The idea I had was a kind of Life simulation, ever see 'The Thirteenth Floor'? Well I was thinking if you could create some kind of real time speech generation i.e. you give the A.I. Its own dictionary and tell it how to use words and then possibly some kind of thought simulator. Combine this with Source's extremely flexible physics engine and the A.I's 'Intelligence' you could create a simulation of a town. You could have NPC's just wandering around doing whatever they felt like. Obviously it would need alto of coding and to make a town would chew up tonnes of memory but i think it would be cool. I'm not sure if ive gotten across exactly what I'm trying to convey but it just seems to me like a really cool idea.
