I need some modellers for a BIG half-life 2 mod

#1

Project Nibelheim, a mod for Half-Life 2 is looking for help. I know that the topic says only modellers are needed, but that’s before editing this post. We’re currently looking for modellers, coders, mappers, and texture artsists. Coders and mappers should be familiar with the source engine, or just how Half-Life 2 works in general. Anyone wanting to help should send a sample of their work to onisephiroth@gmail.com with your AIM screenname if you have one. You should also have good communication skills. I’m not asking for 100% perfect English, because I know there are some skilled people out there who don’t speak it too well, but we should be able to understand you. If you don’t have a sample of your work, then there will be a trial run for you. I myself am a coder and mapper. I have a few areas of the game finished and i’m also currently editing the phys cannon from Half-Life into a laser cannon. I cannot go much further into the mod without a few models though.

    Requirements:
    
    Coders (2 needed)
    -Must be able to program in C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio 2003
    -Should have experience with the Source Engine
    -Your ability to debug code.  The quicker bugs can be fixed, the better
    -You can meet deadlines if any are given (most likley won't have too many, when things are done, they're done)
    
    Mappers (1-2 needed)
    -Must have experience and knowledge of Hammer Editor
    -You can compile a map without too many errors
    -You can fix any errors that show up.  More errors means more lag in game
    
    Modellers(2 needed)
    -Must have experience with Softimage|XSI, or 3DS Max (preferably version 7)

-If you’re using XSI, please make sure you have the ability to export .SMD files. Max won’t be a problem as I have an SMD exporter for it.
-Must be able to model Anime
-Not required, but it will be VERY helpful if you can animate

    Texture Artists(2-3 needed)
    -Must be able to create textures that would fit in an anime styled world.
    -Should work with modellers to make any textures needed and to better match the styles

By offering your help in ANY position, you are helping the mod to get done much quicker and it will be overall, more playable.
I will have concept art up soon, as soon as I get around to uploading it.

[left]seems interesting but i hate halflife2 it sucks and people love it… but good luck on FF7 i want to play it soon

…wow that sounded realy bad from me lol. i dont like halflife but the ideal of FF7 as a mod is cool - thats what i meant. and you should be posting this in the colabetive team section not the game development

Best of luck with your project, but if you’re aren’t a modeller/texture/level artist and you’re not a programmer, you don’t offer much to a team that would entice them to work with you.

I have a feeling the reasons the hl2world boards would flame you are the same reasons why you may have limited success in this endeavor.

#4

Some people are going to ignore this simply because you posted a devionart url. That site (or rather, many of its users) have a bad reputation around these parts.

I’m not saying you should get rid of it, but that combined with the fact you stated you were afriad of getting flamed in another forum doesn’t help matters.

Recommendation: Repost an announcement for your HL2 mad and that you’re looking for modelors. This time, try to sound more confident and ‘professional’ in your announcement. Make them WANT to create models for you!

#5

really? Wow…I only started using it a little while ago.

but if you’re aren’t a modeller/texture/level artist and you’re not a programmer

Well I’m working on the textures and levels, and i’m learning to program. So modelling is the one thing that I really won’t be able to do.

#6

I’m very intrigued at the idea of a First Person FF game, and also because Me and my Uncle worship FF7, in all it’s glory. Here’s a few questions:

1: How is the fight system going to work? Will it break into a third person Turned-Based fighting system, like in all the other FF’s, or will you put an FPS element into it?

2: Will there be a way for you to implement the CG Cutscenes from the original FF7 into the Source Development Kit? If not the originals, will you create your own just for the Mod?

and

3: Will all characters include voice acting(including the minor characters), or will you find a way to implement the Text-Boxes?

Thanks for the answers, and good luck!

#7

  1. Action RPG similar to Kingdom Hearts with a bit of the source engine added in. It will also be third person

  2. What I plan on doing is creating animations for cutscenes (in max or face poser, whichever will be easier. My modellers when I have a few more may also be helping with that) and then using a free camera to view the animations interacting with each other in game. So they will be created just for the mod.

  3. I’m hoping to use voices.

I think i’m going to reword my first post to try and get more help.

#8

:thumbsup: I’m more excited then ever now! Even the remake coming for the PS3 won’t compare to this mod! Keep up the good work!:beer:

#9

oh I don’t know about that. This also won’t be going too far with just one modeller.

#10

You mean, you only have one other guy working on this?

#11

other than a script writer, yes.

#12

Dude! If I had any talent, I would help you out, but I dont have ANY, WHATSOEVER. I’m sorry dude, I really wish I could help.

#13

Since im waiting on this mod id figure i can try to help model some characters (cloud, tifa, vicent) for you. What do you say?

I need practice modeling them anyways

#14

I don’t mean to be a downer by Square Enix already sent a Cease and Desist to someone who wanted to do the same thing to Chrono Trigger…

Still, best of lucks…

#15

omg, you are my savior. I have someone doing cloud right now (still waiting for him to get started), but Tifa is no problem for now =) I’ll have the concept art uploaded for her soon.

completley aware of that, infact I visit the same forum as the creator of Chrono Resurection. And that reason is why i’m keeping the publicity for this game down until release.

#16

This will just rise the amount you will have to pay if you get sued in the end, sorry. I’d like something like that, too…

#17

I don’t think being sued is possible with fair use policies. They can’t sue me as i’m not making money off of this, and if asked to stop working on it by square, I will.

#18

This thing is as likely to get sued as the Halo 2 Mod for Halo CE. And…it didn’t.:wink:

#19

Yes, also considering this is NOT a remake, which many people seem to be thinking…

#20

Let me know where the character concepts are at

…wow, sorry i was in a hurry, i forgot about the first post so ill check that out, hmm youll have to give me detials too like will they be using HL2’s rig, Amont of Detials (poloy count) and such such… And i can help with the animation too
