Is it just me, or do I sense some sarcasm? <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> And no, I don't know how to code, and I wouldn't code for another realism mod anyways.
he isn't refering to just CS, but all the masses of realistic mods. I know C++ and am teaching myself and learning from a PhD student some more advanced parts to it. But I do not know how to work with the HL engine. And I also do not want to code another realism mod.
Sounds to me like another "I have the ideas, now I need a team" mod.
Check out the PHL mod forums, the place is crawling with them, everyone has all the ideas, but they don't realise that isn't how most mods start, it generally starts with a coder and a mapper getting together, and then making some small examples of what they want the mod to be, then getting others interested that way, no one is going to join a mod if you have nothing to show yourself, they'd be better off on their own, why should they just take your ideas and add their work.
in my experience, the odds of you getting a coder for a mod that isn't the coder's idea are about 1 in 100. Basically, people who know how to code are the ones who make all the decisions and ideas.
Think about it, any joe can map, model, or sound, and they aren't even necessary till later in the mod's development cycle. But the code is the core of the game, nothing can be done without it. Thus, you have no mod whatsoever till you have a coder, just a collection of models and maps for HLDM.
and most coders would rather make their own game idea than yours. that's just how it is...
Oh, and 2 mappers means nothing. Unless you can do something, your just gonna be the idea man, and once he tells his people all his ideas, he becomes.... well... useless.
Here's what I suggest: Write up a good strong design document. Be sure to make it easily modified. Look for trouble spots and think of ways to deal with them. And then give yourself a more permanent spot on the team.
Wellll I don't know all that much about coding with the HalfLife engine but I would assume the work you need to be done would be in some sota C derivative language. If that is the case (Or something higher level than that) then maybe there is a possibilty that I might consider helping. BUT I would need to see some design documents etc.
What the others have been writing may sound harsh but its true, and it would give a better impression if you took some time checking for mistooks and typpos before you post.
hey tux the other leader of the mod is doing that currently ill give u a copy when its done thanks for at least THINKING to help not just screaming at me
Well, what I know about coding could be written on the back of a cigarette packet, but I do know people, and with an attitude like that, people are extremely unlikely to volunteer their time and effort...
True, some of the responses were a bit harsh, but it is a little rude to be pimping a mod on another mods forums. Perhaps non-game-specific forums might be a better place to try ?
"Demon Wars" does sound a little close to "Vampire Slayer" btw. (sorry if I annoy anyone by saying this, but VS is a very good mod indeed with an established fanbase, you, or indeed any other demon-based HL mod will have trouble competing with it imo...)
Bigotry is being hateful towards a certain group of people(homosexuals, people of a different race, etc, etc) I don't know what you originally said but that should answer your question.

Oh, BTW, recruiting in another mod's forum= Baaaaaaad practice.
Your "mod" sounds one heck of a lot like Vampire Slayer... Do a google search, I don't feel THAT generous right now.

Then go back to the previous page and read your warning. The next bigoted word I hear and you get banned. No exceptions, no more warnings.
