Nihao!

I'm making a multiplayer mod called Darkness: Source. It's loosely based on an old Quake 2 mod called Gloom, and so far, progress has been slow and steady:

• Made a custom animated spider player model based on the headcrab-black mesh. It was really tricky figuring out how to get the 8-way directional animation working, but very rewarding in the end.

• Got familiar with modelling, texturing, and animation with Blender 3D and Gimp.

• Made two different spawn entities with models, subclassed/modified CTeamSpawnPoint.

• Created a visual effect that makes some entities glow without using a custom shader

• Decent understanding of HL2MP, filtering map entities, creating console commands, etc...

There are still quite a few items left to do before I release the first version:

• More custom player models: Antlion, Mini-Advisor, Antlion-Guard, Scanner

• More CBaseAnimating entities: Spikers, Obstacles, Gassers, Healers, as well as human entities like Ammo-crates, turrets, etc...

• Two or three maps

• Point-based system for class/weapon selection

With any luck, I'll have the first version done by October :) Advice, suggestions, and help would be very welcome.
