HL2 Map of Plaza

New screenshot of a texture I made for medicare. I'm going to make the medicare sign soon and tack it up as well. I'm trying my best to make my own original work, but I was wondering if someone affiliated with KK could answer me this: For the faction logos, can I use images from the game and web development kit? I don't want to get into any sort of trouble because of my hobby, but I am striving for an accurate and updated replica of Plaza here...

Enjoy!

Dude, 99% of people playing Spore make a penis monster.

Yeah! I'm pretty sure God made a few cock monsters in his time before he settled on making us.

By that, you're referring to an engine that IN MY OPINION is far less fun to play than Neocron's current engine.

Fallout 3's entire combat system appalled me, not just its storyline.

(See previous comment about worms, then proceed to go awaeh.)

reasons for using hammer and hl2 for project neocron:
it's easy to use to map polygons and world triggers.
it's stable with a mass of support and 20 years of expertise behind it.
It also runs on pretty much any system,
and hammer is free if you have a steam account, which is also free.

drawbacks: there is no npc interaction available (to an extent). there is no player leveling system.

reasons for using fallout 3 systems:
npc interactions are easy to programme and control/edit.
player leveling system.
worlds can be created with smooth transition effects (walk form zone to zone with little or no syncing).

reasons for not using it: the editor makes my eyes bleed,
the game itself is not very well supported by anyone, even it's creators.
in order to get the game and editor you must buy the damn thing, whereas hammer is free.

Looking good, man. Keep it up

New update:
I've spent the last few days teaching myself how to get transparent textures to work. I think everyone will enjoy the results. Please post comments/replies to let me know what you think I should change and/or update.

HL2: Project Neocron Plaza 1, Movie 2

Hi-res screenshot of the Medicare sign:

Nice pic and nice vid. Can you remove the door sounds at all? It'd just feel a little more NC without them I think. Also, how small a detail do you intend on doing? Can you be arsed with the wall plaque to the right of the doors as you walk in?
Although, I wouldn't want to see you get swamped with minor things, and being prevented from working on the more important stuff.

that's amazing! nicely done

@ Jodo:
There are sounds for the doors in front of medicare, so I found the closest ones to match and put them in. I don't like the "Pop out" sound, perhaps I can look later today for a better one.

Thanks guys.

WOW! very nice

KK, sell the rights to Valve and get it over with, kthxbai

:angel:

Why KK should sell NC Rights to valve? they should sell to us the community and then we should be able to buy (or use a open source) game engine. And then re-do at arts and stuff...

I've got enough marketing know-how and could get 1000 new people immediately signing up for new accounts.

Problem being, I'm scared of KK suing me for representing their business :(

More players = More money = better game...

:( :( :(

Well do that anyway, but break it up into 15 accounts at a time. The whole 1000 would end up setting the KK server room on fire.
