Dune HL MOD

[Davidu]

Ok, I promised I started work at this MOD as the summer holiday starts. Well, my new PC is in service so I can't work.

The idea is not to remake Dune1, but to make something similar.

You are an officer in the Atreides army, recently debarked on Arrakis. You will receive different missions from Duncan Idaho, Thufir Hawat, Gurney Halleck, and so on. You will be able to walk in the Arakeen palace, in the Sietches. After a while the Hakonnen attack will come, so now the action begins.

I'll keep you posted.

[Inoculator9]

This is a Dune1 mod then?

[Dunenewt]

Half-life mod?

If so do you need any help?

[Inoculator9]

Ah! I see... I'd enjoy helping aswell.

[Davidu]

Well, I'm still waiting for my PC to return from the service. Brand new, it broke down! Damn!

[Davidu]

Well, yes, you know... I need some models. I mean Atreides soldier, Harkonnen soldier. Sardaukar, fremen, civilians. And some ixians, guild agents. Some Important Atreides figures also: Leto, Paul, Duncan, Gurney, Thufir, Jessica, Wellington. + Kynes, Chani, smugglers. First of all I'll make the maps. and then I'll try to modify the SDK.

[Davidu]

Can anyone record the DuneI music? I mean, I've got some mod files, some mp3 files, but they don't sound like the ingame music. Dunno why but they really sound different.

[Davidu]

Ok, my PC is back!

I'll start work imadiately.

First the maps. Then the models. And then the actual coding.

Maybe I'll switch to HL2 on the way. Tha's why i make the maps first. It'll be easyer to convert.

About models:

I can make models if they don't require extra much handling.

How does the bone structure of the models work?

Using linked body parts or actual bones(biped bones)?

My guess would be the first.

In that case, I should be able to make a few models for you.

But experience tells me that models often need some extra bit of work.

[Davidu]

Well, the HL1 engine uses skeletal animation, that is supposed to make animation easyer. I tried once... well, with the bones it was quite easy... but I'm a disaster at modeling.

Here follow this link:

Here you'll find all about Hlf-Life. Including modeling.

Now, if you can do it... well I posted earlier what I need. Thay don't have to be made from scratch. If you can retexture some other model to fit, then it's great.

Excuse me, i'm new here ! :-[

It's better to wait HL2 ! The SDK will be btter !

(Excuse me for my english mistakes) :-[

[Inoculator9]

SDK?

[otheymzefedaykin]

Excuse me for my english mistakes....

But with HL2, it will be easier to make HLmods !

But it's my opinion (mistake ?) !

Will you work with the HL1 ou HL2 engine Davidu ?

[Inoculator9]

Look man, your not making many mistakes, very few actually. Just say what you think, lol :P

Can anyone record the DuneI music? I mean, I've got some mod files, some mp3 files, but they don't sound like the ingame music. Dunno why but they really sound different.

If you mean the 'Spice Opera', it can be downloaded here:

Hope this helps ::)

SDK?

[Davidu]

Right now I'm mapping. The maps will be pretty easy to convert (HL1).

If HL2 will apear soon then I'll surely switch to HL2. Even so, I still need models. I tried to retexture some Gunam Chronicles Troopers, but they all looked like hell.

[otheymzefedaykin]

I just begin to create maps ! I can mapping just a little for the mod if you want! I do not undertake, just to propose!

[Davidu]

If you can map a sietch that'll be great. With the palace/city I don't have problems. But when I tried to make a sietch it all went down crumbling. :(

[Davidu]

I'm changing the engine. I'm switching from the hl ENGINE TO THE mORROWIND ENGINE. It's easier to use.

[Jack Leaf]

I have both, but I still wish that you will make the mod for Half-Life. :(

[Davidu]

Why? It is easyer to modify Morrowind. Especially the dialogs. If it was up to me I'd choose the Gothic engine, but that means a hell of a work. The HL engine is quite old (though versatile) and it needs a lot of coding.
