<div class="IPBDescription">Exciting realism HL2 mod!</div> <img src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/Ness-Earthbound/pitbanner.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />



I am currently starting development on a HL2 mod to trump all others, called The Pit. The exciting objective of this mod is to reach the pit before the other team, falling to your death and victory! The pit will be covered with a rug, to increase strategy and stealth.

<b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><a href='http://server.confusionville.net/ThePitIntro.zip' target='_blank'>EXCITING INTRO MOVIE FOR THE PIT</a></span></b> - Created by SniperChance and hosted by Confused! Ragdolls!

A little backstory: Once upon a time on the planet Zergath there was a wizard, called Gradel. Gradel, having an IQ of 7, had nothing better to do than make pits in the soft, springy soil of the planet Zergath. Before succumbing to one of his own Pits, Gradel put a spell on the resident terrorists and counter-terrorists of Zergath, causing them to forever battle for dominance of the pit! By jumping into the pit. Oh, and the pit has spikes.

<b>Concept Art!</b>

    Best mod evar. But will it ever be converted to the doom3/farcry/ut2k4/halflife1/pong engine?
  • NessNess Join Date: 2002-12-17 Member: 10935Members, Reinforced - Onos
    After the developement team has decided that the mod is fully balanced, we might just consider moving it to other engines! But you didn't hear that from me!

    Upon reading this and watching the movie, I now feel the need to cover myself in Hydrochloric Acid, and scream CURSE YOU CAPTIN PLANET!

    Oh woe is me for reading this thread.

    So does this mean we'll have realistic cloth physics so I can pick up the rug, roll it up, and bat away opponents as my teammates leap to their glorious doom?

    [edit]I just read the code sample. Made me laugh quite a bit <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It might be too unbalancing for when we make a showing at the CPL.
  • Dorian_GrayDorian_Gray Join Date: 2004-02-15 Member: 26581Members, Constellation
    Oooh! Idea! DECOY RUGS! Put a bunch of rugs around, and then cover the REAL rug with THIS hummer of a texture (OMG IT R 1337). Nobody will EVER figure out that this is the real rug!

    I can model you guys a rug. 2 even.
  • NessNess Join Date: 2002-12-17 Member: 10935Members, Reinforced - Onos
    Right now we are debating whether or not to add decoy rugs that fly up away from the pits like magic carpets. It might look something like this in PTs (Thanks to our concept artist, we love you man!):

    Quick, someone creative should think up a set of unofficial gamerules for ns_hera so the landing pad area can be used to play the pit!
  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu Anememone Join Date: 2002-03-23 Member: 345Members
    I was just thinking. Maybe the rug could have, like, tassles. That would rock.

    You guys need a Suggestions and Ideas forum bad.

    I speculate that this will be the only HL2 mod to get a release right after the SDK is made public.

    Marines line up on the left side of MS, Aliens on the right. Two onos block the door, one pointing in each direction out on the ramp. Ramp is mined and OC'd. A CC is dropped out on the platform and the starter begins to recycle it. When it puffs away, the onos jump off the edge and the race is on! (Anyone who dies by OC or mines loses)

    I personally recommend Leonard "J." Crabs. If you can get him away from Something Awful, that is.

    We are currently working (or not working at all, depending on how we feel) on a HL1 prototype. I'll be sure to grab all sorts of completely uninteresting screenshots from the deep dark recesses of alpha testing!
