Recruitment To Finish Overdose

[malolo420]

Well after a year I think of not touching a computer I decided to come back and finish my main project Overdose. When I came back I was going to make it high detail and pristine looking but I got discouraged for the amount of work I'd have on only my shoulders. So I decided to ask for help instead of mega rushing it.

Right now I'm just looking for people that can help a little bit out here and there. I need...

Animators
-Some one who is fairly good, I'm not asking for the best
-Definatly For weapons (if killa is still here and willing I'd happily accept your help again, ty for last time)
-cut scenes
-For vehicles

Textureres
-Someone who can make decent ground textures
-Decent bump maps
-And decent random textures

BSP Modelers (and maybe for bipeds, maybe vehicles)
-Need to be good at designing SP style maps for gameplay
-Decent at making city environments
-They don't need to be super detailed and take month to make, just not boxes and extrudes with a little bit of detail here and there
-(Riggers)Some one who is fairly good at rigging bipeds and maybe other random stuff
-Oh and I guess I could use some tree modelers also

:Now normally I'd do all the modeling myself, but when you want to make 10 sp maps you don't really have a choice unless you have a crap load of time. And I'll still be modeling BSP's too, just want help with a couple maps.

HUD
-This isn't too important, I could keep what I got but if anyone feels like designing some cool HUD be my guest.

Scripting
-I can script a bit, so all I really need is someone to help me when I get stuck

UI
-Need help adding campaign button into UI that plays the custom single player maps
-And just random buttons for turning on or off music and stuff like that.

Skys
-Basic decent skys

Voice Actors
-Older sounding people, with a decent microphone

Beta Testers
-Trust worthy people from modacity that are known in the community.

Please add me on xfire "Malolo420."
Well that's pretty much all I need help with, you won't have a crap load of work dumped on to you, just a little bit here and there. It would really be appreciated to who ever decides to join the team. And who ever is able to help could also be considered a part of DMT their choice.

Thanks guys..

[Llama Juice]

What do you have so far? Post some pictures and you might catch some attention :P Good luck sir!

[malolo420]

Here's some pics from the Alpha I released (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?p=255636#post255636).
That outskirts model wasn't ripped, I modeled it myself.

[HDoan]

I can do weapon animations and the HUD if someone can design one.

[t3h m00kz]

I'm down for doing animations too.

Some of my work

[malolo420]

Looks pretty good, thanks for offer guys. Animations look good, I could definitely use you.
And I'll take your help too doan on the HUD, my friend is going to design something for you to work off of. I don't know what your animations look like but if there good you can do that too if you'd like.

I need to remodel quite a few of the weapons but if you want to get started soon you can. Add me on xfire Malolo420, please and thanks.

[Heathen]

doesn't look very good, aesthetically, but looks like a decent mod.

[Inferno]

It's fun as shit from what I remember. <3 Crossfire.

I will animate for you bre.

[Dwood]

I can help you with scripting if needed.

[kid908]

lolo is back =D

I can help with bsp.

[malolo420]

Looks great Doan, glad to have your help. I'm remodeling a lot of the weapons so they can't be animated on yet. Do you have xfire or msn?

Cool thanks inferno.

Thank you too dwood. You have xfire or msn?

and thank you too kid.

[t3h m00kz]

I've got a question while I'm working on it, are you wanting iron sights? I'm not sure how to implement them so I'd need to know if there's anything I have to do with the animations.

[Inferno]

There were iron sights in the last version but they were kind of trashy. I say take them out this time malolo.

[Dwood]

I wont be on xfire for a while but mine is dazerl. pm me for anything i need to know/you need me to do/help with.

[t3h m00kz]

There were iron sights in the last version but they were kind of trashy. I say take them out this time malolo.

I think we're gonna try a new system and see how that goes. There's a way to toggle iron sights with right click, but I'm not 100% sure how.

[Inferno]

I think we're gonna try a new system and see how that goes. There's a way to toggle iron sights with right click, but I'm not 100% sure how.

Charging animation?

If you make working ironsights make sure you remove the crosshair completely. That will make them actually worth using.

[Dwood]

Is it possible to do something like that via zoom?

[t3h m00kz]

Charging animation?

If you make working ironsights make sure you remove the crosshair completely. That will make them actually worth using.

That's exactly what I said lol.

[Corvette19]

So you're going to take out grenades in order to aim down sights?

[t3h m00kz]

far as I know there are no grenades in Overdose.

[azjesse]

Damn HDoan beat me to the HUD job.

[Corvette19]

Ohh, ok :D Heck yeah do that then :D

[Timo]

If you use FireDragon's widget editor you can get widgets to run scripts, from there you can create buttons that will start campaign maps with the map_name command.

[Dwood]

Yo dawg i can do that already.

[t3h m00kz]

Found out about iron sights.



IR Broke: aiming down sight
IR Broke: is the easiest shit
IR Broke: you will ever do
IR Broke: XP
IR Broke: basically
IR Broke: its the secondary fire
IR Broke: using the secondary fire animation
IR Broke: which i use 3 frams for
IR Broke: and thsoe three frames
IR Broke: are the position for the iron sight
IR Broke: in the weapon tag
IR Broke: you trigger lock the secondary fire
IR Broke: and make it replace grenade throw
IR Broke: then ur done
IR Broke: XP
m00kz.weapon: Oh. Sweet.
m00kz.weapon: So is there an animation that plays from iron sight to the origin?
IR Broke: nope
IR Broke: just the animation
IR Broke: that is the position for the iron sight
IR Broke: 3 frams
IR Broke: no going from origin or going back to origin
IR Broke: it just replaces fire-2


Also,

Damn HDoan beat me to the HUD job.

I'm sure you two can collaborate. There's no way in hell I'll ever finish all of the weapons that need to be done, not with a full time job and all, Hdoan may wind up doing most of them.

[Con]

He says you can't animate it going from the origin and returning to the origin, but wouldn't it be possible with a setup like the plasma pistol overcharge? If you animated the secondary fire like the overcharge, you would have a charge up (move to iron sights), fire (returning to origin after releasing), and a looping charged (in sights) animation between for as long as the button is held.

[t3h m00kz]

Probably.. I just know it doesn't look too bad without the return-to-origins animation.

Here's someone's M4 animations using this technique
http://www.xfire.com/video/1d27bd/

What I've got so far.

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu279/m00kz/socomanis.gif

Still needs more animations, and some tweaks on the current ones.

[malolo420]

far as I know there are no grenades in Overdose.
There's nades but you can only use em while holding the knife. M67 frags and stun grenades.

[Rambo]

I've also learned quite a bit about scripting if you need help with that. I can script in static scripts, continuous, startup, and even dormant.

I'm also an audio engineer, so... If you need good sounds, le'mee know.

[malolo420]

Cool thanks Rambo.

Oh and I'm really crappy at making skys, I might need a few if anyone could help with that. Just basic ones that get the job done.

[Dwood]

Cool thanks Rambo.

[Rambo]

If you use FireDragon's widget editor you can get widgets to run scripts, from there you can create buttons that will start campaign maps with the map_name command.
Not necessary with openSauce Guerillabeta. it can EDIT widgets as well as create them. I don't mean Kornman00 v2.0 either. I mean OS_Guerillabeta.

[Gravemind]

I know 2 people have already offered for scripting, but if you ever need a third, I can help too. Ive got a fair bit of experience in halo script, the only example I have is this map I made ages ago (but ive only recently been able to upload): http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5111

Ive learnt a bit more since then too, if you want, pm me for my xfire.

[Dwood]

LOL guys offer something other than scripting... i can edit/make widgets + UI elements. pm me what you want me to do malolo.

[Timo]

Not necessary with openSauce Guerillabeta. it can EDIT widgets as well as create them. I don't mean Kornman00 v2.0 either. I mean OS_Guerillabeta.

Kornman00 v2 can create/edit widgets too. I completely forgot about OS_HEK, kmv2 has the "run script" box blanked out in widget tags.

[JackalStomper]

One thought comes to mind when I think about iron sights in halo.
Unless you can find a workaround for it, the accuracy would be the same when not using them anyway.
People would just imagine the crosshairs in the center of the screen.

[Dwood]

After seeing the problems with the alpha, I may have a scripting solution to managing objects so you can have more scenery without overloading the player.

[bobsam]

I R Beta tester? Plox?(Can I beta test for you? Please?)

[Rambo]

kmv2 has the "run script" box blanked out in widget tags.
Yes, but OS_Guerillabeta has it enabled and fixed. It's perfect.

[Inferno]

So malolo. When do me an you get to 1v1 on no remorse again. That was fun back when we tested before the alpha release.

People would still just taking a wild guess. For long-range stuff, I'd imagine it'd be smarter to use the iron sights than to just take a guess at where they're aiming.

[Con]

Is there a way to slow the player down while mouse2 is held?

[flyingmonkey3]

Add stun to the firing effect of the secondary trigger?

[Rambo]

OK, so I made a nice city soundscape for Crssfire. It has four layers to it. They are as follows.


Base Traffic Ambience



Detail Cars



Detail Horns



Detail Sirens

All together, they make for a very realistic and seamless environmental effect on the sound side of the map. Traffic comes and goes; people arrive and depart in cars; occasionally, a lady or a man will get out after arriving; sirens wail; horns honk; you name it. It sounds VERY realistic. I spent all night last night tweaking it for you, Malolo. I ran into some difficulties with the layering and not being able to be all 44 KHz Stereo, but I figured out that you can have two 44 KHz Stereo files playing simultaneously and two 22 KHz stereo sound files playing simultaneously. Three files play as sound_looping tracks and the last one, the horns, play as a detail sound.

I'll post a video soon to show off the quality of these sounds in my Blood Creek Campus map.

EDIT: Here are two videos depicting the sound quality. It is set in Blood Creek's campus.

[t3h m00kz]

Add stun to the firing effect of the secondary trigger?

I may mess with that. But in multiplayer it may cause some issues, you know how stun is.

[PopeAK49]

What kind of city style are you looking for?

[malolo420]

After seeing the problems with the alpha, I may have a scripting solution to managing objects so you can have more scenery without overloading the player.

Fixed that up with a script that deletes body's and crap after a certain amount of time repeatedly. But whats yours? Might want to use it instead.

Oh and I haven't fully planned out UI so once I do I'll PM you about that.


So malolo. When do me an you get to 1v1 on no remorse again. That was fun back when we tested before the alpha release.

Could do it right now if your up for it.


What kind of city style are you looking for?

Basically a city with 1 route maybe a couple in some parts to choose your path, and the buildings just with slight variation. My standards for detail on each building have went down since I first started Upskirts.
I don't know if you've played Warrock but I kinda want buildings to be like that. Really doesn't matter in the end, as long as it isn't just boxes and has good game play for a single player map.

[Dwood]

Instead of managing the bodies, rather, manage the number of objects that are loaded when a player can't see them. It's really simple but I'd need to get my hands on a map file of the most current build or so. Detecting where a player is and loading and deleting scenery that can't be seen

Use portals and render bounds.. lol

[Dwood]

Use portals and render bounds.. lol

I don't have the model of the previous versions so I'm not sure as to how well the portals were added etc. if at all.

[malolo420]

There's tons of portals.

Oh we need trust worthy beta testers that are on lots and almost always willing to play.

[Dwood]

I don't even have the current map lol. But I guess as a scripter, you don't really need us until the last parts of the creation process? :P

[t3h m00kz]

After a playtest, this mod definitely has potential. The iron sight system works reasonably well. The graphics and animations just need some polish, and I have a few minor ideas on tweaking some of the gameplay.

[kid908]

I'll fix the fn p90 eventually when malolo send me the tag.
1. need more posters.
2. better wall material.
3. fp weapon placement could use some work.

[Inferno]

Oye. M00kz you gotta let me in on that beta. Or I might just "spill the beans".

:realsmug:

[azjesse]

Same here! But i've got no beans to spill :(

[bobsam]

Damn them peanuts.... Well anyway can I test for ya too?(sorry to ask again)

[t3h m00kz]

Oye. M00kz you gotta let me in on that beta. Or I might just "spill the beans".

:realsmug:

FFFFFFFFFFFF

[malolo420]

We'll need you guys before final, I just need to find out what I'm going to have in it.


Damn them peanuts.... Well anyway can I test for ya too?(sorry to ask again)

Yeah you might be able to be a beta tester. Once I find out I can trust you.


Oh and another thing we'll need is voice actors later on.

[Inferno]

For voice actors I can help out. Also if you need any chick voice actors you can talk to Frain. Or Aerowyen.

[t3h m00kz]

^ frain hahahaha that was cold why you so mean

I can do voices too I guess. I'm totally manly as fuck. *coughbutnotreallycough*

[Dwood]

I need to get my hands on the map, so i can at least see what state it's in and see if I have any ideas of my own... unless the Alpha is still the best version, in which case I'll use that.

[bobsam]

You can trust me. Ask Inferno and Jesse... I tested in the TLMP Final beta with Inferno, and I tested Sali's Ivory Tower with Jesse.

[Inferno]

Hey. I just played through the beta m00kz had. Fix the jump height please. :-3

The mod is much better now that you have to use the iron sights to aim. I love that. Just make sure you fix the "toggle" on it.

edit-

Let me re-animate the knife. The ones I did like 2 (?) years ago are bad.

[Inferno]

ATTN MALOLO: This is how you should do iron sights.

m00kz.weapon: So yeah the iron sights are p sweet huh
m00kz.weapon: better than they were before
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: do the toggle?
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: like click on click off
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: or click hold
m00kz.weapon: Well I haven't messed around with it too much but the way I did it doesn't allow toggle off :<
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: DERP
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: just make it the charging animation
m00kz.weapon: Hmmm
m00kz.weapon: That may work I'll try that
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: it will
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: like the plasma pistol
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: except on the secondary trig
m00kz.weapon: yea I know lol
m00kz.weapon: that's gonna be sweet
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: yea
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: but remember
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: you need

ADS-in = charge
ADS-loop = overcharge
ADS-out = overcharge_fire
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: have the charge be like 0.25 seconds
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: so going to ironsights should take 0.25 seconds
m00kz.weapon: yeah
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: then when you fire it just returns to hip
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: and fires a fake projectile
m00kz.weapon: Maybe I could get by without even having a projectile
Inferow Row Row Your Boat: send that to malolo. he will understand how to tag that

[bobsam]

nice idea... Can you please change teh ATVs... There old and bad.

[malolo420]

K bob add me on xfire, Malolo420.

Don't worry those atv's are place holders.

Inferno ask mookz if he got started on knife, if not you can do animations.

Dwood I'll send ya the new version of upskirts next time your on.

Almost got another SP map modeled and textured.

[t3h m00kz]

Inferno can do the knife. Less animating for me!

I've got the C7 animations done. Not too happy with the reload but w/e. Just need to separate the model_animations into separate animations in Max and re-import. Shouldn't be too hard, may have it done by tomorrow.

[Inferno]

M00kz put that new iron sights system into the works. I'm doing knife animations today.

[Inferno]

Finished the knife in pretty much exactly 2 hours.

http://codebrainshideout.net/inferno/public%20files/OD%20Knife.rar

I re did the animations and I think they look much much much better. Someone will have to in game them though. They should work with the knife weapon already in OD. You just need to compile them.

:iamafag:

great music choice.

[Inferno]

Emmure. :v:

[t3h m00kz]

Crit my Shit™

Well, I like the origins and the melee strike. Needs a nade toss animation.

The thumb on the left hand seems to be curved in a tad much, and the moving animation could have a bit more asymmetrical motion in it, like, the hands not moving at the same time if you get what I'm saying.

Other than that I like it.

[Inferno]

The nade toss is in there. It's the only left handed animation in there.

:raise:

The thumb curve is fine. It just looks weird because of the shadow.

I just used CAD's moving animation generator. I'm lazy k. The download for all the max is there. You can tweek as you please or if you really want me to fix stuff up I can upload a new version.

[t3h m00kz]

oh sh- I see it now I missed it the first time, multitaskin'

[Inferno]

I don't have any OD tags besides those old rigs for this so I can't compile it. Make sure malolo or you compiles these and shows them to me ingame. :-3

[t3h m00kz]

I would but I got c7 to finish brosef

[malolo420]

I'll get em in game tomorrow, I like em. I just think idle could have a little more movement, but I can fuck with that, and if I do a crappy job don't have to use it.

[bobsam]

Where's the breathing/walking animation?

[Inferno]

I'll get em in game tomorrow, I like em. I just think idle could have a little more movement, but I can fuck with that, and if I do a crappy job don't have to use it.

I agree. It seemed like more movement when I played them in the viewport but it wasn't enough.

[bobsam]

Oh, now I see the walking and breathing animations. The breathing could use some more motion.

[Inferno]

Oh, now I see the walking and breathing animations. The breathing could use some more motion.

Your a little late.


I agree. It seemed like more movement when I played them in the viewport but it wasn't enough.

[bobsam]

Shit... Sorry.

[t3h m00kz]

I can tweak them a tad if you wouldn't mind.

[Inferno]

ATTN MALOLO: I want to animate those guns soon. Send over the AK-74U, G3 and the MP5 as soon as you have them.

[t3h m00kz]

g3 will be epic.

Fav gun in COD4

[malolo420]

I'm remaking the Aksu and MP5. I haven't yet made the G3 so it will be a little while before the guns are ready. I'm going to try and get one of those done with in the next week.

[bobsam]

All the guns were shitty IMO in the on Halomaps, I guess that was the Alpha?

[t3h m00kz]

Yes, we're aware. We're fixing that.

[malolo420]

Well guys Malolo has court tomorrow morning and last Tuesday the judge wanted to send me to jail. But luckily since we don't have a judge and there just at random I'll probably get a different one. But if I do go to jail its just for 2 breaches so I'll only be in for 3 months. So if you guys don't see me on you know where I am.
Sorry if this is considered a bump but I just wanted to tell everyone that's apart of the project.
I wuv you guys. :)

Edit: Well here's a present for you guys as well, just wanted to show you one of the graphical upgrades I made recently.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd189/malolo420/Project%20Overdose%20Beta/crossfire.jpg
There now its losing its corny look the alpha had.

Oh I didn't realize how deleting posts work so if that delete post button sends a request to the mods sorry but please don't delete.

[Lateksi]

That lightning and sky fit the map better :)

Looking great man. You need to stick some scenery in there though. Some of that looks pretty open.

[bobsam]

That sucks I hope you don't go to jail. D: Nice work, that sky is used TOO much I have always disliked it.

[malolo420]

No Jail for me :D Good thing I had a different judge this time, and didn't wear my jacket I normally wear and a suit instead. I think the judge was going to send me to jail last Tuesday because I was dressed like a hood-lamb. They didn't even let me speak when I went up to stand last week, or even really go over my file, I stood and the judge blurted out in an angry voice "If a judge tells you to do something and you don't do it then I'm going to send you to jail," and you can get a minimum of 3 months for each breach which I had 2. But today the judge even said I looked like a good kid, also brought my mom this time which also helped. Anyways....

Lateksi - Thanks, your input is appreciated.

Inferno - Don't worry it will be crammed full of scenery, although I might include all the scenery into the BSP itself to avoid problems with having to many objects. Does anyone know what the material limit on a BSP is? I'd hate to do all that work and find out its not enough, but that never stops me from just putting certain scenery into the BSP that don't use many materials and putting the ones I can't add to the BSP as scenery.

Bobsam - Yeah I know, that's why I want someone to be my sky guy although I could probably learn pretty quickly to make alright sky's. But if I can't get a sky guy or make good sky's on my own this one is the best for this map, it has good lighting and it looks nice in it.

[Inferno]

I think the material limit is pretty high. I've had 100 materials in 1 map before.

Also. Get to work on those gun models I need something interesting to animate. : 3

[t3h m00kz]

Fuck overtime up the ASS I'll have those animations done eventually. Can't promise when.

Tis the case with most projects in this game, eh?

[malolo420]

Oh don't worry mookz I'm doing pretty slow with this right now so I'll get started on the guns soon inferno. Coming down off shit really makes it really hard for me to sit at a computer and concentrate but now that I owe a bunch of money I should be clean as a whistle for a while, (whistles aren't really that clean though, there filled with spit) so once my brain recuperates I'll be getting a lot more done. I'm thinking about putting 3ds max on the computers at school so I can work on my models there, plus my teacher wants me to teach this kid how to make animations 2d or 3d for some grade 12 course so maybe I could teach him how to model well and have him join the team. Even though I don't let anyone I know in real life know I do this because kids will call me a nerd, I got a reputation to hold which sucks because I love this and I gotta hide it from kids who will be on welfare for the rest of their life. And this does not make you a geek, people who map (well at least the good ones) have a beautiful talent and will actually go somewhere in life instead of welfare like I was saying. I've actually started to tell a few people that I make stuff like this because I got this one crowd I hang out with (hippys :D) that are really good understanding people, and I've even told some of the 40 and 50 year old welfare drug addicts too, but I'm still hesitant on telling the kids at school. High school is like a demon gathering, I hate how kids treat each other and how they always are telling story's that are full of bullshit about how hard core they are, always talking about crimes that they do to make them look cool even though it just makes them look stupid because you don't tell people you do that because that's how you get caught but the rest of the kids are too stupid to realize that. Then another way that makes them dumb as shit but they do to be cool is be rude to the police so they get in more trouble. The cops know me well, but because I'm respectful they like me and let me off with small stuff, came to my house with a warrant for a breach, actually gave me a choice to come sit in the cells till next morning or turn myself in so I don't have to be there all day all morning. Then they found a roach in my pocket just before they put me in the cell and asked me if they could throw it out and let me off.
If you want to know how to be cool, the key is to be your self and act like something your not like 90% of all high school kids. I hate stereotypes I want to go say hi and shake this kids hand (people consider him a geek) and when I went to shake his hand he like flinched because he thought I was going to punch him or something, like I'm a really nice guy, always really polite to people and old people because seeing the joy I can give other people really makes me happy, its one of the things that keeps me from falling back into the depression whole, and not abusing drugs too much. I'm sorry for writing all of this stuff that has nothing to do with overdose, I should probably start a blog but meh. I love you guys, well most of you, be your self and don't fall into that retarded whole of how high school kids, man I wish I didn't quit for 4 years, I should be graduating this year and be out of all this stupid drama and bull shit. Oh well, out of 4 years of not going I got 2 skip too grades.
Sorry if I'm ranting too much, poppy derivatives like to make me talkative and I don't have any one else to rant to at the moment, so thanks for listening :D

I read your story and hey what can I say, it's nice to know more about you. Maybe you should let the kids at school know more about you too? Like you said, be yourself :)

... words ...

It's funny how at my school I'm known as the "computer genius" and at the same time I hang out with a lot of the hardcore/skateboarders and they don't really mind. Most of them are actually impressed at how much I know about modding and hacking TBH. But things might be different up there.

I still have to finish 8th grade. Then next year I'll be the "Small Stuff." Again...(As in I'll be going to High School) Good thing you don't have to go to jail!
