feliciafan89 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I couldn't find a forum that this topic would fit in, other than this one. I want to take a shot at making an X-Com Total Conversion for multiple different First-Person shooters. It's not going to have that much depth to start with however. I'm going to make one using the Wolfenstein 3D engine, just to get started. Soon enough, I'm going to try my hand at making one in Quake II. The project is going to take a while, but I'm going to give it everything I've got. Does anybody have any (constructive) suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhomb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 My only thing is that the wolfenstein engine is very old, it will be hard to get it working on newer computers, it will not run at all on 64 bit computers. well possibly dosbox. But I would think quake or halflife 1 would work much better even to start with. No point and restarting with the new engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliciafan89 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Then I'll do it for Quake II. Quake I's engine just isn't deep enough for what I'll be doing. Besides, do you really want to put your gun in the center? I've never done 3D models before, though, so I will need help in learning about making them, starting with the gun models. I'm not asking you guys to them for me, just a few tutorials or something on making them, and with what programs. Please note: I have Windows NT 2000. My hard drive has around 10GB, with around 1GB free. I don't know what my RAM is, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhomb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 yeah I didn't mean quake 1 I just meant not wolf3d. For models you might want to look at www.blender.org as it is free and they have tutorials to start aswell. If you right click your my computer and hit properties it should tell you the ram Minimal specs for Hardware 300 MHz CPU128 MB Ram20 MB free hard disk Space1024 x 768 px Display with 16 bit color3 Button Mouse Open GL Graphics Card with 16 MB Ram you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliciafan89 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Whenever I try anything that involves OpenGL, it screws up. These programs range from the Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault Demo to the Doomsday KickStart program for Doom (when set to OpenGL mode). WTH is OpenGL anyway?

Gurluas2000 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 There is an xcom total conversion for halflife 1 named Last Hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhomb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Basicly an API like directx for graphics. if it crashes you might not have a proper card that fully supports open gl, drivers could not support opengl etc etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL Yeah, I do remember that FPS. I think it is dead now but if the source and everything is there maybe you could pick it up where it left off.

Gurluas2000 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 there is both the source, and the models, for the halflife 1 version that is, the second edition is alive and private Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azrael Strife Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 The one for Half Life 2 has been dead for months or even over a year, and the first one was never completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRN_R_Sumo1 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 It wouldnt be overly difficult to make levels for Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2, as there are some fairly decent editing programs for it, and it quite simular in nature to half life 1.

Gurluas2000 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 The Halflife 1 version was released by me, the halflife2 edition is not dead, its just temporary on hold because of the exams of pendra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the first version was not even finished, I seriously doubt they will ever finish the Half Life 2 one, so yes, it's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurluas2000 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Its not really incomplete, buggy maybe, but 100% playable, as i played it often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruivo Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Personally i don't know much about fps engines, but i've seen a lot of different mods for doom 3, some of them quite ambitious like Recall to he!!. Maybe if anyone wants to do a X-Com fps tc, they should use D3 engine. Most standard supermarket pc's can run D3 anyway. I know a low budget m2n-se with onboard video and a athlon x2 3800 can run no prob with medium settings @ around 20~25fps.

Gurluas2000 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I say halflife, its easy to use, most pcs can run it, and its extremely cheap to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliciafan89 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'll have to do Quake II. My brother and sister-in-law (it's their house) are very strict about "M" games, and I was lucky enough to sneak just that into the house. The only other options are Doom, Doom II, and Wolfenstein 3D, none of which would be very deep as far as the ideas I'm using are concerned. As far as OpenGL, I either don't have it, or it's really screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurluas2000 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well you could try sneaking halflife in, its should not be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhomb Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 As far as OpenGL, I either don't have it, or it's really screwed up. What video card do you have? have you updated your drivers? if it works in D3D for you then I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkhomb Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 it is available on steam with instant download. not hard to find at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruivo Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Wich is easier to mod, original CD HalfLife or the "modular" steam version? Honestly i hate steam games because of these modules, they're kinda hard to mod.. at least comparing to the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRN_R_Sumo1 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I actually got Halflife 1 from Eb Games by accident looking for Halflife 2. p:that happened about april I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
