Pennywise · 07-02-2004, 07:07 PM

anyone is interested. (well how else could I get your attention?)

Allow me to introduce myself for those who dont know me, Im Pennywise! (watches the tumble weeds blow past) From C&C matrix? (defening silence) I pop up on random forums and make wild ideas and then laugh about it when I do the news? (hears the Oh that guy)

Well anyway down to buisness. for many days now Ive wanted to make a game based upon the novel and film The War Of the Worlds. imagine my delight when a few years back they released a game, then imagine my disapointment at it. So for a while now ive planned how I would make a war of the worlds game. with generals and zero hour and my introduction to modding ive found my chance.

so what am I proposing? Well ladies and gentlemen, I would very much like to make a mod for Generals zero hour that adds the Martians from the war of the worlds to the game. now I already have come up with a tech list of the units and structures I would like in the mod, and a number of gen abilities too.

Ok now before anyone asks about what will this mod entail I want to make something clear, I want this mod to be as easy as possible to do. by that I mean at the moment Im not thinking of missions or generals to add, the goal is to add the martain side to the mod,

If the mod becomes sucessfull in that people actually want to do stuff then I have a number of possible releases planned,

release 1: the martain units added and gen abilities (maybe structures depending on progress made)

release 2: the martain units added and a number of new units for the other 3 sides

release 3: Maybe some missions

release 4: The us side reskinned to match UK units from the original novel.

however my main goal is to get release 1 with structures if i do that and it was to a decent standard then I would be happy.

So what is it im looking for? well im looking for people who are willing to help who can mod, skin, bone (how naughty!) code and basicly do all the modding stuff.

I myself have had gmax with renx plugin for over a week now and are learning fast on modding, I can only skin basic stuff due to technology problems which is a shame considering I think I could do a good job at it... anyway.

at the moment I do not have a homepage or mod HQ for the simple reason that I dont want to waste my time or get my hopes up.

So if you are interested and want to help a confused person realise his dream head over to the forums at www.cncmatrix.com or you can find my original post here

then I can see what interest there is and we can all begin to make decisions on what to do.
