I have an idea of a mod that could become reality for the world of Half-Life. All I need is "STAFF". Personally, I am not that great at Coding and Modeling. So I will need help.

The mod will not be a competetive mod but just a place for players to hangout in a virtual world... I f I have great coders, it can have the ability to have the players drive, sit on chairs and die in car crashes. Score will be kept with death and money. Sell equipment to make money and make friends on the net!

This mod will be for HL and Steam... Soon for the 2nd version, I may make it for HL2!

If you can help or if you know someone who can help... Email me!

About the mod:

When you join a server, you will be teleported to a specific location on the map. The maps will be big, containing buildings, stores and pools. You can walk around and talk to peeps on mics. I will ask who ever the coder is, so yoi can only hear people talking if the are around you. The whole point of this mod is to provide an artificial enviorment for peeps to chat and walk and buy and sell. The stuff you buy are in your inventories. Select the inventories like you would slect a weapon and drop it in a certain place. If you drop a furni, you will be able to sit on it. To sell and buy, we will set up a trading system.

You will also be able to drive, only cars that came with the map. Try to avoid car crashes, for there is a high possibility for you to die. If you are walking and you get hit, all our inventories will be dropped. There will be garages.

YOu can pick up furni too! Furnies and Ivntorries caomes with the map. You just have to find them, like some maps in half-life. Yes, there wil be weapons so you can kill people, and rob them. There will ony be a few guns on each map. And maybe 10 furnies.

Note: Cars will be the mappers job! And if you don't know how to make cars in maps... i might not let you join!

Mail me plz!

O! A kick ass idea I just thought of!

This is the social part of VW:

Territory::
Territories are public, but if you want to try, you can claim it before peeps and gaurd it. This will not be coded into the system because I want it to be realistic! Also if you own a territory and gaurded it well, you can ask peeps if they want to rent it for a certain period of time, or buy it. But watch out! If someone has a weapon, they can kill you for it!

Swimming::
There will be pools in every map, big or small. Jump into the water with your friends and chat. Jump of diving boards and show off your move. Moves will be programmed into the mod. See who can dive the greatest distance under water! There will be oxygen limtations. And hopefully, there will be an Oxygen Meter in the HUD. Also, have swimming races with peeps. If the pool is your territory, host a Tournament!

Trampoline::
This will take a whole lot of coding... Trampolines will be an inventory, jump on them and do tricks(Will be programmed). Have double bouncing comps with others!(Falling from highplaces can damage you!)


P.S. I will also need server hosting!
P.P.S. I don't have any money...


So mail me!

When asking for staff you must show 'The Balance'. The Balance between the ammount of work you have done and the ammount of staff you expect to have.

You have alot of 'N/A'. The only way to fill all of those is to show off the great things you have already done for the mod. No one will join and work if the leader does not work. This is The Balance.

[Jojo]

Thanks Detail... I'll keep that in mind!

I promise tht I will do 1/3 of all the work on this mod. I will map, do basic codings and publish this mod when complete.

Up Dates:
Progress: 5%
Status: Concepts/ Work

* When you have done nothing, people don't want to work with you.
Saying you have done something is very diffirent to showing you have done something.

* When you show the work you have done, it shows that your serious and that things are happening. No one likes 'all talk and no balls' type people.

* When people have seen you work thay will be motivated to produce work them-selves.

I've made this rather snazzy image to put the point accros.

->> Update

Done some coding work, do you want me to do the vw.dll and client.dll? or just bots? 'Cause i need the DLL to make bots.

Also, I need some filename information if you want me to continue programming client.dll and vw.dll,

and i can get you a splash artist,

In the hl.fgd I have, there is no func_vehicle, so are we just making trains for now? Or are we going to get some vehicle code in soon or something?
(BTW: Is that a gorge in your avatar chaos?)
