User:Welsh Mullet

Hi, I'm Welsh Mullet, 17 year old student from South Wales - UK. Hoping to do a course in Computer Science and AI in university next year, so I thought I'd try making a mod, to get a head start on learning C++. I already know VB.net, but really need to learn C++ for proper programming.

So, I'm currently throwing ideas around for my mod, Half Life 2: Destructive Interference. It doesn't have a page yet, because no work beside a few ideas has been done.

I'll post some ideas up here from time to time, maybe even create a page for it. Oh, and it's set in the UK, as there doesn't seem to be any set here already.

Half Life 2: Episode 2 based Orange box 2007 engine (for now)

Things to add to the source code and models:

1. Attachment points on weapon and character models for large amount of customisation. Scopes, hats etc.
2. Model for player (anyone know of a tutorial for this?)
3. Improve reflective code, for mirrors and water (so it doesn't **** up when 2 can see each other)
4. Improve AI?
5. Physics water
6. Survival mode, similar to Firefight in Halo ODST
7. Improved realism.

Based around a team of ex-SAS and SBS members in London around the time of the Half Life 2 Series. 4 man squad is the most likely at the moment.

Additional weapons:

1. Turrets that can be remove, and carried around, giving 3rd person camera and reduced movement speed.
2. Sniper rifle based on the same bolts as the crossbow, but using some form of gauss propulsion?
3. More realism in existing guns.

Also, has anyone done jiggleboned trees for realistic movement from wind and explosions?
