[QUOTE=Legend286;27961455]Are you going to implement a 3rd person camera, I strongly feel that it'd be very beneficial to the mod. There aren't many 3rd person mods, let along 3rd person futuristic competitive team based ones with jetpacks.[/QUOTE]
3rd person sounds good, as long as it isn't as annoying to use as the regular HL2 3rd person camera.

[QUOTE=JLea;27961470]Yes, i was referring to flapjack dan[/QUOTE]
I know that, what you said didn't apply to what I asked that much.
I'll make third person an option
but how well does sniping and stuff work with 3rd person, plus when I get chance I can churn out a bunch of fps weapons that won't look too awful :)

I've seen a few games where it goes into First Person down the scope even though it's a 3rd person game.
You shouldn't base your models on one style, I say that you should have it all decided by the modeler themselves. It'd be rather humorous to see a big cartoony man punch a high detail ninja to death with a lead pipe.
I've got nothing to do this week, Ill probably put a map together.
[QUOTE=JLea;27961481]I'll make third person an option[/QUOTE]
You should just make the mod a 3rd person mod, it really would be a lot better what with all the neat things like the jetpack.

Yeah, Legend is right, platforming is tough in 1st person and using a jetpack seems even harder.

Plus, as I said there are hardly ANY mods in third person, let alone multiplayer competitive like this.

Seeing as it's going to be made in the most of 1 week, I'm sure we're not trying to be too serious here. That Alligator would be pretty fun to have, seeing as we discussed what it'd fire in the Galactopticon thread (Shoots smaller alligator guns. If possible, they also shoot smaller ones with an alt fire)

Just make sure the camera works great, because the default 3rd person camera is a piece of shit.

Jlea, so who should make the ModDB page? Do you want to?
I wish I knew how to model. I'd definitely help out with this :smith:
Could anyone give me any pointers? (A la what program to use, how to make a decent shape, all of that good stuff)
Should I commit my Billboard and map into the SVN? Your choice.

Don't even try, it's too difficult to just pick up one day and try to help out with a mod. Trust me I know, I still can't figure out how to use Blender correctly.
Also accept my friend request on steam
Guys, if we made a ModDB page we need to make a group. What're we gonna name it? (the group)

The 3rd person camera tutorial I posted is really awesome.
Okay so we Need a name for:
The Mod Itself
And the group producing the mod
We also need to finalise the logo as well as collate all the new media.
call it 1week IMO. it rolls of the tongue easily, simple to write + looks unique
plus everyone who reads it will go "wtf is it called 1week?" then proceed to read our amazing dev story.
Unless we have another option the logo we have is my arguably crappy logo.

Okay. You think I could help out with tossing in ideas here and there? Maybe sketching out some crappy versions of stuff for the modelers to work with? [I know how much you all hate the ideas guy, but I mean hey, it's not like we're making a mod on the scale of Ivan's Secrets or anything].
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;27961760]Unless we have another option the logo we have is my arguably crappy logo.[/QUOTE]
Mind if I take your logo and make it shiny?
[QUOTE=JLea;27961752]call it 1week IMO. it rolls of the tongue easily, simple to write + looks unique[/QUOTE]
Okay, WE HAVE CONFIRMATION. So icemaz will set up the ModDB page? I'll try to help him in any way I can.

Not at all.
[QUOTE=JLea;27961716]Monday Night Combat, Global Agenda[/QUOTE]
Games, not mods. Plus they're not really the same kind of thing, MNC isn't really that competitive.
How're you gonna make the logo better GameDev? Just curious, as I need to work on my editing skills.
