01 November 2005 16:26 (UK time) Gunmetal is a Meteor mod featuring a motherload of guns and roughly ten new campaign levels. I started this mod a few years ago and have not had any time for Meteor since then. I still have limited time but I am interested in releasing more of my material. I consider Gunmetal almost complete, unfortunately. The mod was built before I became somewhat of a grammar nazi, so the story is poorly written, but most of the ideas are there. Gunmetal development has wholly stopped, but the downloads will continue to be available. I will also try to release H2M2, but as usual there are a million stupid complications I have to overcome. Also, want to try to work with R3D but what's discouraging is the new 3D engine, and I have no experience in 3D modeling. So I don't think I will be working with R3D much at all. I believe what made Meteor 1/2 fun was the ease of editing, and the simple fun. R3D has taken the ease of editing away, and frankly I would value a Meteor 2.5 VERY highly. M2 has tremendous potential to become a game as complete at M1. It just needs a little work. I know what I'm saying is pretty cutting but I really have not had much time and this is the best place to say this.

Look at my graphics at <a href="http://www.meteormods.com/downloads/meteor/mods/Meteor_CivilianWar_v2.exe">CivilWar</a>, and I'm still using those graphics in Antarctica! Well, I'm not going to change them, not at least the weapon huds, but I have already changed the sniper rifle. I have in antarctica the one that uses all M2 graphics, maybe a few changed, but it also contains some of my own graphics. Well, I'll release the beta for U soon and then make a screenie archive of Antarctica. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

I could adjust these: <li> how clear it would be, how fine you could read it <li> color of shadow <li> offset (NE, NW, SE, SW) and offset amount <li> text's (not shadow's) style, like wave, going inside, outside etc etc... <li> maybe more And I know that the font is courier, isn't it?

I've also done a script-heavy mission select map, which took a few weekends. In other words, the campaign is just getting started. I've been doodling and planning the campaign in my little free time last week when I wasn't doing the presentation.

It has been on hold for a while for M2M1 but M2M1 is now on hold because I'm waiting for the map convert "orders".

23 March 2006 15:16 (UK time) The mission selection page looks cool. Will it be avilible in Multiplayer games? I just had an Idea that would be really fun; make it so you can move around on the world map, with a soldier icon, and you have to get into a boat Icon to get across the water. This way, you could add an extra level on the way to a certian level.(and drive around the world in a boat =P) You need to login to create posts in this thread.

27 April 2006 02:28 (UK time) I dunno, but it really is just the only thing thats user-specific that changes every once in a while, so I guess it's turned sort of into a competition. I do have the highest post count, but I'm more ashamed of it than I am proud of it. I would delete your post, but the HTML scare kinda took away my abilities temporarily. So it's just going to have to wait. Though I still have the ability to edit other people's posts, but I don't do that very often at all. BTW Mike, I edited the first post in the thread with the emails, I changed the symbols so that you won't be plagued with as much spam. I edited a post with mine a while ago, and I haven't been getting spammed ever since. It's a favor =) Your mod is looking amazing Mike, Well done! *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime.

27 April 2006 14:34 (UK time) Papercut: I do have the highest post count, but I'm more ashamed of it than I am proud of it. I am also a bit shamed of having the second largest post count due to the fall 2005 when I was speaking plain wood (could say spamming) and I have slowed down a bit for balance. I will take a few years to balance a thousand posts for 3 years, what do you think? I have also been a little busy so I have got no time to speak around here, tracking music is another thing, and testing HTML and scripts is time taking but I can pop up sometimes, I am running a HTML forum if you want to talk about homepages, scripts, styles and media as a new thing there. The forum is from Forumco and it uses the Snitz Forums engine (PLEASE if you even have interest in HTML even if you don't know anything about it, please register!!! My forum is quite dead.). I have my messenger also open every day at 5pm UK Time (except if I am too busy for it) so it's another thing too. My Yahoo messenger is drillguard at yahoo dot com and it is my email too if you want to mail me. Though I have been recieving bulk really often so I might not the first day see your mail.

I've already gotten rid of everything except the textures, sounds, effects/objects gfx, and a few other things. Bare with me as I clean it up, I was just trying to get A version out.

Only problem is I have to remove the sprites folder from the base folder to get it working on my computer. I don't like how you used a mix of base graphics and renamed versions in the maps.

02 September 2006 01:42 (UK time) This mod looks really sick, I can't wait! I really want to start weilding those weapons =D. Below is a little graph that Will Wright explains quite fluidly, the gameplay of certain games. -The Lines are your possibilities/actions. -The Dots are your successes. -The Branches are your oppurtunities. (Thank you Fuzinavl for that link.) More scripting can either make more or less lines and branches. Lots of Branches are what you're aiming for. That's why Doom is currently my favorite game. Make sure the player is playing the game, rather than the game playing the player. You want to have a wide Possibility Space as Will Wright puts it. That's what made Ravagers of Time such a great mod. That mod had thousands of branches. Pay close attention to this post, as it will help you, and many other mod designers. *Papercut Pro-Murder.
