I've been recently thinking about my mod deploy or however you can put it.

I'm quite sure that I won't be working on MSA any longer, since I lost interest to it (I'm sorry but I really have =( ), and so I scrapped it, but I'm going to use graphics and things from it in this new project of mine.

Well what is this "new project" about? Well, I've been thinking about something unique and found something. What is common in all of the Meteor series' plot and a couple of other mods I've played through is that Ash (or whoever the main character is) fights against forces of evil to prevent doom. But what would happen if doom has already come?

This is the point of this new mod: Outcasts. I'm thinking of Ash suddenly being warped into an alternate dimension where evil have taken over a country, and Ash joins the rebellions for a revolution!

Ideas, suggestions, etc.. welcome. I'm trying to get this one this time out, I know I've failed with mods more than getting them out. =)

That's a great idea. I hope you don't lose interest and manage to make this mod =)

I can provide some textures of you need them.
Also known as Veyrdite
My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Maybe the ROD blobs have warped him to another dimension, because he is the only one who can keep them under control. And in the time he's been gone, the blobs took over earth and have evolved to an unstoppable point. Then Ash arrives at that time and starts a big revolution. He doesn't seem to be able to get them under control again, so he has to find a way to go back to the past to keep himself from getting warped.

What do you think of this storyline?

That could work as well, but I thought that the mod would concentrate on the part where Ash is in the alternate dimension. Maybe there could be some ROD fighting in the end, however?

Hmm.. I think you should make a lot more monsters to fight than just the rod ones. Giant worms and blobs will get boring pretty quick. Designing new monsters isnt easy though.

Well I can imagine that making alien sprites will be difficult, and I'm not *that* good in drawing. Yet, I have secured a place for them (or at least the Rods), so I'd appreciate any alien sprites.

I've mostly planned the storyline and I also noticed a problem here, the soundtrack. I've got just two tunes from Skaven, for James had said that it's safe to use most of them as long as Skaven is credited, but only two new tunes, along with some tunes from Meteor 2 doesn't really cover it. It'd be.. sort of boring.

This is a very good site for amateuristic made music off all genres. You can use all the music as long as the creators are credited. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for, because most of the music is made especially for games.

Thanks, I guess I won't be having too many issues with the music anymore. ^_^

Storyline is mostly planned, I might do tweaks here and there, but I guess I have the grasp of what will happen in the storyline, so I will soon start planning objects, making sprites, getting graphics and so on. Once this is done I'll take on the hard part, the mapping itself. Then it should be more or less done.

Cool weapon images. Where did you get them from (or did you draw them yourself)?

Well. I've now been getting object graphics and been creating sprites/projectiles/weapons/objects and so on. I don't know when I manage to get mapping but I hope I get the objects done soon so I can start.

A problem (quite minorish but still) is that I'd need a menuback and I'm not too good with "advanced graphics". I wonder could anyone help me with this?

Well I in fact did all of the weapon huds, sprites, object sprites, even the ultra-cool XL9 burned sprite with Paint.

Does anybody know any texture sources? I'd like to know if there's something out there so I wouldn't have to use the current M2 textures. =)

I might fiddle around with all of Gimp, Paint and everything I can get to my grasp to create that menuback =P

Objects start to appear, I'm probably going to use things I can get from my former mods, from MOR, and so on. Of course I might need to draw some more but I have a nice source of older graphics so I don't really have to. =)
