A mod... - Just tell me what you think.

[Olivier]

Well the problem warthog, is that : I'd like (maybe I won't do it) to developpe a Mod of Outcast With Outcast engine and map,characters, sounds, etc... and I think I'm not the only one. Secondly, I try to imagine and write a story, but I don't have a lot of time so even if I gave up my project and helped you I don't think that I would be very usefull... Thirdly, well... you know I have an opinion you won't agree but : if the creators of Outcast don't make the second, how can YOU be sure to be in "the right way" ? Me, when I became my story, I couldn't do "what I wanted" because I didn't want to quit or change the universe Appeal have made...
We are only at the beginning, I can't judge your story and, if I can I will be very happy to help your team, but if I quite agree when you say "WE MUST WORK TOGETHER OR NOTHING WILL HAPPEN" only five or six person can do a very good work, even if it take one or two years... And to finish my point of view, (don't take it bad) but if we desagree about something in the screenplay, who would be right? You (and that would be normal) because you write the story but, with all I know on Oc and I can imagine, I can be desapointed by your story, so if it's the only one to be developped, I couldn't say : "well I can play an other mod that can be in my opinion"

But a last thing about that, I think we are A communauty, so a if we can help each other, even on different mod, that would be great.



To MR : you are right, and I have told the same to Ash there is 2 weeks, but, just a little question, what is the longest : to understand how Oc work to do what we want (and what we can) with it (and notice that a lot of people search to understand OC), or to imagine a story, characters, places/map, quests, to write it, to draw some artwork etc... ?

So I thing I just take a little advance, and it can't be disturbing...

To Antaeus : Yes I have thought to add role playing game possibilities but if developers of mod add it in their game maybe a "simple gameplay" should be proposed for the player to chose between a "new original gameplay innovating" (I don't know games who propose it with an action/adventure type) or to play "just like in Outcast".
But it's a good idea all the same. And, if you want to add something of my mod project in your RPG, you have all rights ![;)]

About the story:

The Main Characters:

6 soldiers, American Army Marines, attached to the Christobal Project.
They are: (for the moment I don't have chosen names...)
-The chief of the squad (Does Corporal is a good rank ? I'm not a specialist in army...)
-A scout (under the chief orders but better ranked than the others)
-An expert in telecommunications/high-technologies... = an engineer
-A military doctor
-An expert in explosif
-A mere soldier

Well I know you 'll say that it's common to all fps games , team fortress etc... Yes i know and I can't do differently, I'm sorry, I wanted to do an original story, and i begin with a very common team... [nooo] If you have better ideas...

Well an advantage of this "class" is that, if I take Antaeus idea, the gameplay could be more interresting than Team Fortress.

Yeah, I said that too a few days ago...

I think understanding the engine, source code and all other tech stuff is WAY harder than all artworks together.....

[Olivier]

Yes that's right. So just tell me what I have to search and to do !

Yeah, that's it ! If we want to make mod, we need to know what somebody has found and we can search. but nobody has posted news for 2 or 3 weeks now...
