Hey guys, I'm authoring a Team Fortress inspired standalone based on Q2, called Battlegrounds. While it is is like TF, it differs from the standard class-based gameplay by adding a few new classes, and a ton of new features for the existing classes. However, I can't do it alone, and while we do kind of have a coder, we need five things:
a character modeler
a skinner/map texture artist
maps
sounds
and finally...
a new name.
while the first two have to be dedicated team members, the other two, maps and sounds, can be provided by another source- YOU, the community!
Alright, first up, here's the deal on maps:
This mod will be using EGL, so you can use Q3BSP format alll you want, and TGA textures. The mod uses CTF as its main gameplay mode, so design your maps with that in mind. Note that I can't promise that every map made will be official, but if we like your map enough, we may include it in the official lineup! Noe that the mod uses the standard Q2CTF enitities, so get mapping!
The other thing, sound, can also be provided by you guys! We simply need pain sounds, and a sound for when someone takes a flag, and a nice little musical clip for when you capture a flag! Note again that I can't promise that everything will be put into the game, but feel free to give it a try!
And finaly... we need a new name. Battlegrounds sounds horrible, imho. And I came upp with it! I was thinking of Strongholds, but thats taken by a commericial title. So we could need help on that.
Alright guys,, I hope you guys would like to help!
