Interlopers Open-source community mod?

[Welsh Mullet]

Do you think it is possible?!
What i mean by this is as a forum, we all pull together doing our bit to make a mod, and then publish the code we've changed and the maps here so we can all learn from in?

For example, we could have brainstorming threads for story, weapons etc, then polls.
Modellers could have modelling challenges for the mod, coders coding challenges and mappers mapping challenges.
Hell, even the art people could get involved for posters and art in game and for the game!

This idea literally just popped into my head, and although i have a few doubts, I think it's a great idea.
No more complaining that the map battles don't have a topic!
And a mod that even if it died would be incredibly useful to the community as a whole.

Now flame me XD

Nice idea, it would be nice to have mapping contests where we have to make a fully functioning map and not just a scene. You got my support!

[city14]

I would join in definitely!

[Gary]

Could work, I would join.

[Armageddon]

I'd give it a go.

We cant even keep a package running, i doubt we could do a mod.

[Gary]

True, but it all depends on how we manage it. Maybe something like an SVN?

Though, if we do SVN, it's quite unlikely I'll be able to help very much do to my slow upload and limits on download.

[city14]

SVN or a good ftp server.

It can all be managed through several project directors. The directors take parts of the whole game and manage the people under them working on the project.

The whole thing would be a myriad of different art styles, but that would add to it I am sure. It would also allow people to learn more techniques because we would release all the source as well.

so shall we have a poll or something?

With a serious story line.....

[MuffinKing]

oh no you didn't!

[Welsh Mullet]

Well i atleast hope it will XD
If we do it all by poll, it mind end up as "Grdon 3mans EPIC adventures through Combine candy land" D:

With a serious story line.....

Do you know how serious Cookie mod is? It tells people about other peoples mental state when they lose their flower. It's deep man...

[Welsh Mullet]

But that's an already started mod, I was thinking we create one that only interlopers could call their own :3
With a plethora of game modes!
From slayer to survival to story and zombies and everything in between :3
