For those of you who don't play Halo Custom Edition, the original Metroid Online Mod (
http://playmetroidonline.com/ ) was a Metroid based mod made using Halo CE's engine. At the moment, Halo CE is dying, with very ,very few people left playing it, not to mention, the previous leader of the Metroid Online Team has resigned. So I am taking over to try to get it going again, and if possible, make it better. I had a few ideas to improve the game play a bit, but I need help on how to make a source mod. I am looking for people who have experience in this area and people willing to teach me, as well as join me to help me make this happen.
My plan is to make a TF\TF2 type mod, based somewhat on Metroid Prime Hunters Multiplayer
I have a few maps, but they will need to be converted
I need people with experience in making custom mods.
The basic gameplay I have in mind is:
Different characters to choose from, but if it is possible to set it up this way, you must unlock more by scoring so many points by getting kills and such in-game.
You start out with the basic weapon, the Power Beam, having a missile launcher as a secondary. Then you can pick up up to 3 other weapons and some other powerups. To stay with the past Metroid Online setup, you get energy units by defeating other players. I am also wanting to be able to have alt-forms (Morphball)
So as you can see, I will need modelers, animators, coders, and such who have experience. I am currently trying to learn how to use Hammer and will be attempting to convert a map or two for testing. If you would like to help, please sign up at the Metroid Online forums and post there in the thread I have started there and announce yourself.
This mod was started many years ago: I wouldn't want to see it just die!!!
