Need a Model/Skin guy for Threewave-style CTF Mod

[legacy-Captain K]

Threewave CTF is the great granddaddy of CTF for the FPS. It was originally developed for the Quake series, and has been emulated numerous times for most capable FPS platforms including earlier versions of Unreal (the popular RealCTF and its sadly DOA sequel RealTournament). Features include four rune/tech powerups and a grapple hook. For more info check out any of the above links.

I've been sitting on a similar mod for UT2 for a couple months now, mainly based on the Quake 2 version. Code is as close to done as possible without the use of new assets, namely the grapple and the runes. And I'm a complete ****** when it comes to modelling stuff.

Sorry, no website yet -- I'd rather have something concrete to show first -- but I can offer my track record (past works include Classic Domination and the U2 Mod Menu) to show that this does actually stand a chance of seeing the light of day.

Anyone interested, please contact me at jasonyu at boilingpoint dot com. Thanks.

Would rather have the 4 way CTF style from UT1, but you mod will still be a nice change. Wish you the best with finishing it. :up:

Wow that´s great, Threewave is my all-time favourite! :up: And I always was waiting for a CTF mod with grappling hook for UT2k3. The grapple just brings much faster and 3dimensional action to CTF than the translocators.

I hope you find competent team members for your mod!

Suggestion :

Except for the 'resistance'-rune/tech you could use a powerpill with some kind of automatically regenating adrenaline-mutator to get something with a UT'03 flavour.
Current version uses a standard-mesh with a different skin for each combo to indicate the type. Since combo + skin is fixed it's quite easy to learn where the various items are.

- Strength => Powerpill with the 'Berserk'-combo
- Haste => Powerpill with the 'Speed' combo
- Regeneration => Powerpill with the 'Booster'-combo

and if you get permition you could integrate the madbomber mut/combo, which would be the equivelent of the relic of vengence.

Ooh. Good call, JaFO. That solves the problem of coming up with new Rune models.

Though I'm not sure about the moral implications of having players covet drugs.

Couldn't you replace/reskin the shield gun as a grappling hook?

LOL ... but that applies to the adrenaline-pickups themselves as well
