It's a shame I don't know 'bout Half-life modding...oh well I hope you have great luck with your mod. It better be alot better than the Wasteland mod. I hated that mod. 8)

I'd also be more than happy to help test the mod and/or give support (not programming modeling etc).

What do people have against wasteland/The Wastes, The maps for it are very good

I hope the dust mod luck

the area around the cracked wall needs some debris, and the crack does really look like a broken wall

http://dustmod.fateback.com/mappics/fal ... 20001s.jpg

same with this screenshot

http://dustmod.fateback.com/mappics/fal ... 20003s.jpg

This looks a bit 'clinical' and not wasty

I'm just try to give advice, even if you dislike Wasteland/The Wastes there maps are more Post Apocalyptic at present (As those are only ALPHA screenys there ok :P)

As far as I can tell the reason some people hate The Wastes so much is it's too damn hard and trying not to take so much damage actually matters in the game. They're used to spoon fed mods like Counter Strike and Action Half Life. TW has the best custom maps I've seen anywhere.

thewastes.de or wastelandhalflife.com have some good downloads. One map in particular is called wl_smudge or scruffy or something. It's basically a nuked out city decades later after scavengers picked it clean. It creeps me out every time I'm sniping from a half collapsed apartment building with scattered ancient bed frames and couches buried in sand.

The only thing I hate about the mod is the terrible Half Life engine. What a load of crap! In the time it's taking them to release a second beta they could have started from the ground up on the UT engine.

I think the wastes was an excellent mod with great mapping and modeling, but it's problem was that I could never find more then two people playing at a time.

I wish the dust project good luck and post here when the first beta is out.

sweet! this is like what me and my friend where gonna make.

i suggest making the power armor into FO1+2 rather than FOT power armor. even though it is cooler, it wont go over as well

im pretty good with Ms3d. just send me some models so i have a basic frame of reference for size, then you can rotate them, fit them, ect.

id really like to help.
give me some guidlines like max-poly count, and if you need a removable clip, or whatever.
id really like to help but i havent really modeled FOR a game, like, the models arent used in a game, so just tell me what you need.
i picture of the item would make it easyer.

mail me at
Ajaximus@hotmail.com
or
Alechenning@yahoo.com

thanks

If you've gone to the site for that craptastical dust mod, you'll see they have no coder...so basically there won't be any mod till they get one...and I can't say by the looks of it that they will anytime soon. I say give up on it and get that game Devestation when it's out. :)
