Wota Hl2 Mod...

<div class="IPBDescription">Kicks ****!</div> Warriors of the Apocalypse mod, or WOTAMOD for short, is a total conversion for the Source (Half Life 2) engine. The setting of the game is a few decades after the final world war, which was brought about by a computer system malfunction. The computer blatantly attacked Soviet and American economies in an attempt to free the American people from virtual slavery under the order of Corporations. This resulted in total chaos and brought the world economy into the deepest depression in history. Russia and China (The Soviet Union) invaded Canada and other areas of North America, which prompted the US to defend its Canadian investments. The Equilibrium computer launched a large amount of assaults on the US corporations, the US Government, and even launched nuclear missiles at various targets all over the world. The Soviet Union followed suit. Long story short, civilization ended with the majority of the planet left in ruins. Not all of the world is radiated, but fallout from the key areas where nuclear weapons were used drifted all over the earth, resulting in widespread mutation of flora and fauna. New species are constantly being discovered.

WOTAMOD will not be a traditional First Person Shooter; it will feature an extensive, yet easy to operate Role Playing Game stats system that will have roots in most functions of the game. However, the player will not level up, and will not boost his skill levels in the traditional sense. Skills will gradually improve as they are used. Therefore, the player may simply "practice" his skills to make them "perfect".

In addition to an RPG stats system, players will also have the ability to equip various clothing, item, and gear in the Inventory/Equip screen. To equip an item, simply drag the item from your inventory to the character. Characters will wear base clothing, which will consist of boxer shorts. Any clothing equipped to the character will be equipped as sub-models. Some clothing/items/gear will not be equip able in conjunction with other items.

Another unique feature of WOTAMOD is the melee sword fighting system. Some weapons will allow you to guide your swings using the mouse. The weapons will be actual physics objects capable of colliding with other physics objects. This means you will be able to deflect or even block your enemy's swings, so long as your timing and movement is right. When you pull out a melee weapon that uses this system, moving your mouse will still use the "mouse look function". In order to engage "Swing" mode, you will hold left click. Mouse look sensitivity will be decreased so that you may swing easier in front of you, without having your character turn while swinging.

    Well, it would be nice if we could see more than some ideas, and some concrete work.

    Sounds cool. But then anything that sounds like STALKER is cool.

    Anything in a post apocoliptic world that was destroyed and mutated by nukes that has a war going on is cool.

    Don't you think its a little early to be announcing your HL2 mods on forums?

    I mean hell, you don't see me pimping Espionage or Brains around...

    It isn't unique; Terminus-Discord (another HL2 mod) has a similar system.

    You know, there are plenty of weapon and vehicle models on the site.

    Wow, those are some kickass textures on those models.

    Shouldn't it be WAMOD, seeing as "of" and "the" are excluded from the acronym.

    It really is their choice, you know. Also, say it out loud....

    to be honest, I'd wait until there's some actual code done before advertising: ie the HL2SDK gets released. I've seen enough HL1 mods where they had all the models and then never went anywhere because the code never got done to believe that all these HL2 ones with their nice models and textures will become complete works of moddom =o

    The weapons all (except the two on the front page really) need to be much more fubar if you're going for a Post-Apoc feel, the model renders all look too clean. Admittedly you can make them look more "used" in the skinning process but meh.

    Just my 2 cents.

    the textures yes are quite good but the models seem sub-par/ameturish

    I think someone's aiming a tad high.

    btw, is this multiplayer or singleplayer?
