Community Project - Neocron:Source - Thread 3

Because the other thread was getting rather full, decided to start a new
thread to give a bit of an overview of how far we've gotten.

WhiteKrakRBOi started out a few months back on a plaza1 map for hl2, which
turned into a plan to start a bigger project, which is a Mod for the source
engine (HL2/TF2), which would become at least a multiplayer deathmatch
game with the weapons from Neocron, taking place in the city of neocron, and
maybe even incorporate the armour/skills system of neocron.

A lot of good reactions and brainstorming interested myself for the project, so
I started helping out with modeling and texturing.

From the German section of the forum, some people came over and showed
some previous work, which can be found in the other thread.

More relevant info can also be found at:
http://wiki.techhaven.org/NcSource:Overview

and we set up a steam group so we can contact each other for playtests and such:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ncsource/

In this thread I will showcase the work we've done so far on this particular
project, all the work until now (the graphics anyway), put together in the
start post:

By WhiteStuff:

Most of your stuff is very very large, could you maybe post your work with smaller cropped images? (also I don't know which versions you want to show, the early versions too or just the final ones)

The map is modeled after / inspired by the Neocron 1 offline demo battle (copbots vs tg).

The subway HL2:DM map portion is done :)

A few minor tweaks (including scale).

EDIT: If everyone wants we can set a date/time for a larger playtest :)?

Okay so that's the first section of Outzone 2 done. It's slightly different to the original for technical reasons. One of the technical reasons been that I'm lazy.

lol looks like the new thread was a good idea ;) people weren't following it anymore ;)

I'm currently modelling a sales person for all the maps, and I want to have some different textures. So, people who want to be in the mod, send met the following:

a pic of the front, side and back of the face, best to have a shut mouth, open eyes, no smile (and a short note saying we can use your image in the mod and on any pr media (as the model might be in a screen shot or something)), people with very extreme hairstyles will most likely not be chosen as that'd require a new model.

I am in no way guaranteeing that you won't look like an idiot :P but if you don't agree with the texture I'll maybe remove it :P

Note: mod contributors will be my first choice, but if they don't want to have their faces on models, I'll take the first few community members

thought I'd show the results of my first try at a human head, this would be where instead your faces would show up! :P

this is a work in progress, I know the jawline needs work, hell, the back of the head and behind the ears isn't even modelled ;)

So I was just going to go work on some weapons to import to source just for entertainment, but I can't find any of the NC2.2 graphic update renders. Anyone have a link to all those weapon pictures?

I'm afraid that we cannot provide you with permission to use or access the mp3 music files in any way except via the Neocron client during normal gameplay. We have a very specific license to distribute and use the music and our terms of use are very strict.

We love to support you where we can and trust that you understand that our hands are tied in this respect.

i can possibly provide similar music of my own. I'm a Space Ambient artist.

Thanks for the clarification Nid.

One door closes and another opens up!

Sydalesis, when you send sample songs please include me.

I will pm you an email addrss incase you prefer to send song files as apposed to links.
26-01-10, 02:13
Sydalesis

I give you 2 options, do you want new, high quality fresh compositions, or do you want me to pick songs from a 12 album collection ? I give you the choice to decide, i can do a mix of both too.

My main influences are Max Corbacho and Steve Roach, Ian Boddy, Robert Rich, etc etc.

I try to find my own style in this genre since i discovered the neocron soundtrack in 2002 iirc. I have even composed a few themes for nc clans.

Im thinking i should do a big pot pourri, you dont need samples trust me :)

You need to tell me how much songs you need, if you need menu music, etc etc. Then we can look at sfx crafting etc.
26-01-10, 02:15
Sydalesis

I'm gonna do a pot pourri and see if i can make a Neocron:Source original soundtrack from current/past work and just might add new compositions to it.

I might be able to upload a full soundtrack shortly.

Cool! Keep us posted, I'll DL it tonight when I get home. Might help the level design process to have some ambient music going in the background, especially if it's for the game I'mworking on!
26-01-10, 04:36
Sydalesis

Ok

1. Sorry it's not all properly tagged.
2. Sorry it's not 100% Neocron but i'm sure you will notice some influence.
3. I hope this mod gets completed etc.
4. This is a varied pot-pourri that i hand picked from a big collection of almost 200 songs. 2006-2010
5. I am building my website since 2 weeks.

Enjoy!
