Oh Mai Fscking Gawd. (Idea)

[Siva]

[Center]Kewlest Idea In the history of kewl.[/Center]

I was watching Sky One yesterday night, and saw a new show called "Over There", Its all about war and shi-fizzlemonizzle. And I had the most 100% sick Idea.

You know when you play an RPG, you feel like, its diminishing your Fighting skills?

What about (YES I KNOW DX IS NOT CS, BUT I DO NOT HAVE CS) DX:War?
Or Battlefield:DX? Or DX:Battlefield? (Yes, I know i was working on DX:Live, But I figured, let DX:RPG, deal with the life simulator, crowding they're area isn't kewl.)

You start in the training camp, and have to go through a battery of tests (This is still conceptual.), THEN you must pass a general Intelligence test. (I hate stupid people on my fscking server.)

And if you fail said test, you can't try again for one day. (How can I work this out?)

But if you pass, you get a bunk bed, Assigned access to a bunker, Some cash, And a candy bar .

And there are helicopters, that take you to battlefields. Where you get assigned a parachute.

Your designated on to a team, and you pick a kit. You dive out of the plane, and use the parachute.

Your team sits in a dug-out while the other team throw gas at you.
You pull out the sniper, and take one of they're team out, sending them back to the Army Medical Center.

But your team manage to make it to the objective, And then win.

Then they climb the fastrope to the helicopter, which teleports them back to base, with about 2000 credits.

Then they can do whatever they want, Hop the truck which takes them to the supplies convoy, to buy better weapon kits, W\E.

There are also just guys around, For decoration. all doing idle stuff.
Also, I'd like to see bots, so If there is a team that doesn't want to get killed, but wants to train, I'd need bots, to fight back....

Then there is more.. punishments.
Like firing a gun, the officers react, and shoot you with the Jail-Gunâ?¢ which OBVIOUSLY teleports you to jail, and then the police officer gets you out every 5 minutes. (Dunno how i'd get an NPC to push a button every 5 minutes..)

So as you can probably tell, this is alot automated by bots.

-WHAT I SHALL NEED-

-) Two additional mappers.
-) Three Good Coders.
-) One-Two Good Moddelers. (Sniper Rifles.. 50.cal's..)
-) 5-10 Beta Testers. Once we get past beta stage 0.09.
-) About a week so i can have my laptop back, and this project can stop being in conceptual stages.


Anyone besides me think this is a good idea? Playing an RPG without diminishing your fighting skills

Anyone Steals This IDEA, Will be immediatly exposed. as Not everyone is Ripping Assholes.

[~Hy[ß]rid~]

I don't really understand but I'll give you permission to cut anyone another asshole that steals this idea.

[Siva]

Think of it, as Living as a soldier.

EDIT: Oh, and I would cut them anyway

[Moleh]

Only read half your post, but basically it seems like you just want to make America's Army in a DX RPG style.

[Siva]

Yeah, But with more effort in Extraction, and deployment.

[Dae]

Utopical idea.

[Mr. Tastix]

I like it. Sounds like a mean idea to me...

[synthetic]

I'd say don't bother. Only thing that can come out of this is improvement in your mapping/coding skills and in projectleading exp. If you are lucky, there is a good chance you can release some little part of this project as add - on mod. Not trying to discourage you or anything its just that it is near impossible that you finish it (if you start with it anyway) and its unlikely you find enough players to play the mod, once its finished.

evryone has dreams dont bitch on them

[Siva]

I think that if one person played even a FRACTION of what I'm thinking of, they would like it.

A Free Roaming War Simulator, based on a server, I'd like that.

We don't even need to do moddelling....

[Mr. Tastix]

Hurry up and get people to help you then, lol. I wouldn't mind seeing this in action, ey... Wish I could help but all I would be good for is a Beta Tester.

[Siva]

I shall pick the beta testers myself.

Probably only people on Alpha forums rofl.

But OFF beta testing topic, I gots to get this shizzle started.

[~Sandro~]

Good luck to you, but it sounds to unreaal to make it
You never tryed to make a RPG mod do you, many gave up.....
Even Klop made a kind of RPG map...............................

[Rödewijk]

u should make this on ut 2004 thats a lot easier to work whit

You must be a pessimist. Let people have their fun ffs, don't piss on someone's opportunity. They just want to make a map and a mod, and you come here saying shite to discourage him. That, my friend, is called being an asshole.

[Bob]

Go download America's Army.

[Siva]

I have AA tyvm, I just want to see that kind of thing In DX, as not everyone can download AA, or can get CS, Isn't that what a community is about? Helping other people to do things?

Just playing AA and turning a blind eye to the idea would be silly.

[Spiderbot01]

Thats the problem with TNAG, if you wanna play UT why not just go away and play it? Same with non augs as cataclyzm says, non augs is just a CS wannabe...

The idea is pretty hardcore for a Deus Ex mod. You will have extreme difficulty in getting a team that know what they are doing and are willing to help.l

[Siva]

Your right, It is.

But so is Project:HDTP, but they're doing it.

Doesn't matter how hardcore it is, Just matters how motivated you are. And I'm very motivated.

[Bob]

Project HDTP is pretty easy actually, if you know how. They are replacing models and textures, that's about it.

[Wasted]

Well I can think of idea, say if main makes soemthign decent I can soemtimes take it make another idea with it.

I was hoping to help with that seeing as he would most likely give up on the project after few weeks already. Now having said that it is possible he will stick with it just few more extra weeks just to prove me wrong XD


I don't think you get the idea of the scale of this project Derek. It would take quite a teameffort and a lot of time to make it playable and even then there are quite a number of problems.

My suggestion: make a plan about small modification and get few skilled people or good friends and map/mod away and make it shine. Or join some bigger project. Im sure [A] has few going. Just speculating.

[Mr. Tastix]

Yeah, it would take a long while but it is possible, just it'll take some time.

You could make Maps/Mods in small bits at a time that are still playable and when you finish all pieces you just like piece them all together, is this possble?

If so it means you could play like a Preview while you make the other pieces of it.

You do have a point there, but still, no need to ruin about his plans. We've all had big dreams, and he's just hoping to accomplish his.

[MrBlackDX]

Think Big, Start Small

Give the people what they need, not what they want, but listen to their advice

And heres what to do for real concept, its not hard to imagine how the gears of the DX engine works, so when you put your plan down, make sure you know what you are talking about

Dreams arent supposed to be easy to reach

If all else fails, but you someone else smile for your work, then you have succeeded enough

[Siva]

I've already done the battlefield, Now I'm looking into modelling .

Try Milkshape for starters. Then go 3Ds when your done with the starter shizz. 3DS will be your basic tool. If you think you want better models than 3DS, go to Lightwave.

Danke Sehr

This will be immense if you get it done, Good Luck
