Yo, i posted my mod idea on the planethalflife mod forums, (http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=1895&tid=967767), and i told them my idea, anyway my idea is there are 2 human factions fighting for the resources of a planet, and each faction has different class's and weapons, and i was thinking i MIGHT add vehicles to it. each faction has a commander, and the maps will mostly be wide open spaces with ruins of citys and stuff, so i was wondering if my mod idea would be ok, and also. they were totally dissing me on the planethalflife forums, saying i was ripping off natural-selection and not giving you guys any credit, which is NOT TRUE AT ALL. i was giving you guys credit, even posting your url. you guys are really cool, so lemme know, peace <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

all the people that say your ripping ns off are mentally challanged and or non-intelligent
your a rip-off?? for what having resources?? and a commander??? human vs human?? destroyed citites .... totally a rip-off of command and conquer (notice the oozy-ness of sarcasm)
As long as you don't steal art or code, concepts are free to disperse among the public. Thus is the gaming industry. However, you'll get alot of people saying you're ripping so and so off. So, if you can ignore rude people like that, go for it. Also, if the gameplay and concept is TOO similar to NS, the popularity of your mod will suffer. But this is all assuming that you can get a group together to create a mod that generates enough hype and attention based on it's gameplay and quality media.
Silent But Violent trys too hard! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
its rare that i apologise for sarcastic comments...but...
im sorry.
happy?
now make that mod and ill see you in about...two years? ok bye!
We're not a bad bunch, we just tried to break it to him gently that nobody would play his mod even if he did get it started, and he started with the offensive defence. I personally think that NS is a great mod, and that people should aspire to make mods equal to it's greatness; what they shouldn't aspire to do is make mods in it's image, that is not good.
Theo, HoMIciDaL_PuPPy doesn't really make a good point; he just insults us all without knowing us, and that makes you feel right. Could you please stop being so childish, and could you please stop insulting everybody over at PHL? We're very supportive of people who can present a good idea, and we try to help those who can't by telling them what is wrong with what they have. In your case, you just started off with "I want to make NS, but with vehicles" so can you understand what we thought?
Well, thanks for your time guys, and I hope we can all still operate on friendly terms; if you want to read the thread at PHL (which I really think you should, so you have a knowledge of the argument) then <a href='http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=1895&tid=967767' target='_blank'>here's a clicky link</a>.
P.S. tantalus i posted the link to PHL post, they know the other side of the story
go directly to the one that made the mod... send them a mail caus it's they that deside it.. not someone that only play it....
In the meantime, I don't think I'm really doing anything wrong in here, though if I genuinly am, feel free to tell me (not you Saitoh, I know what you'll say) so I guess I'll enjoy the road-trip...
You do realize that the distance between a Idea and a Finished Mod is like the distance from Earth to Saturn. It's not an impossible distance to cover but it'll take lots of time, undying dedication, and a pretty knowledgable development team.
I think your idea would make an intersting Mod, have you considered UT2003 though? Vehicles in HL is like trying to give yourself head. Everyone has tried it, but <i>nobody</i> has been successful. UT2003 seems to be able to facilitate all your ideas as well as have the ability to do large-scale outdoor maps.
HL engine is great, it is popular, but it is also limited.
NS pushed HL editing to the max and just when it could take no more Flayra pushed it even further... but Flayra is a professional programmer with the money, time, and experience.
If you have the equvilent skills and abilities then yeah, I would love to play your mod.
Tantalus, no hard feelings man. im only 15 years old, i guess i still have alot of maturing to do..
good luck with it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
and Tantalus, i think it was good of you to come over here and apologise.
well done. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think you have the ability to come up with something good; you just haven't put in the necessary time and thought. One other thing I'd suggest, is that you actually poke though (or wade through in some cases) some code, just so you can see how difficult it really is.

Well if you're 15 and an aspiring Mod maker I think Flayra would make a fine person to look up too.
NS 1.0 was probably one of the finest Mods to be released from a Design/Idea Implimentation/Programming point of view, I don't think the HL Mod community could disagree with that.
And the gameplay is hella fun, but that's my opinion.
I think the fact that you apologized shows that you are ahead of your pack when it comes to 15 year olds online in general.

Again, best of luck.
