Killing Floor: Middle Age/Fantasy

[Feuerkelch]

I got a mod-idea, which might be cool to be relesed

Since there are Melee Weapons already included in KF it would be easy to make a Mod pased in Middle Age or Fantasy with Swords and Axes and this stuff. Make it all more focused on Melee and add some bows or maybe magic as ranged attacks. Change the Specimens a bit more to Zombies, espacially the Fleshpound would need some scenario-adjustment. I think you could make it even more detailed in tactics if you add shields with limited hitpoints, so there are some blockers in the front, behind them melee fighters with longer weapons like spears and behind them the archers. Limit the healing to one perk, which could be a priest who puts his hand on his fellows to raise their life a bit.

What do you think? Is it possible or is it wasted time?

 

[Fedorov]

I think is a very good idea, but I don't know about modding so I can't help

 

[xjames0x]

I think un-dead skeletons are more suited to medieval times, Just an idea though.

 

[HobbStweedle]

sounds sweet. Go for it!

 

[Feuerkelch]

there is 1 prolem i dont have any idea of creating a mod... so i just have the idea, and if someones knows how to realize it, he is welcomed to do so just keep in touch with me, to optimize the ides

 

[LemoN]

bad start

just look into some turtorials and just start at dooing stuff
just having an idea and recruiting ppl wont get you anywhere, you have to be able to show something too

I think it's an awesome idea, it's something I'd love to see.

 

[Feuerkelch]

i think including the idea as a mutator would be the best, because it's just a replacement of weapons/weaponmodels, zombiemodels and playermodels. I think i can handle the scripting of a mutator, when i have a tutorial about the basics... i searched around with google a little, bit the things i found are missing the introduction for what files need to be created and where. When anyone knows a good one, let me know, but im still searching. And i need someone for creating the models

So sort of like an Age of Chivalry mod for Killing Floor? If so, I loved that game. It was awesome.

 

[Feuerkelch]

yes, sort of age of chivalry is a great game. but i still need someone for the models and animations
for the scripting i had a look at the mutator which brings back the old models from 2.5 but i have no idea with which program i have to open the .u file...

 

[Linoleum]

i had a similar idea in this thread
http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=30393

Medieval Zombie Hordes mod!
a deadly zombie plague is eating away at the lands!
a nice gritty atmospheric mod with rusty, bloody medieval weaponary (mostly close combat weaponary i guess...maybe bows/crossbows too)
maps based in caves/dungeons/destroyed castles/villages/woods etc...
the mod could have a drabby brown sort of feel to it, like one of those crappy english days were the wind is chilly and the skies are grey and ther are spits of rain hitting your face (and you gotta go work...)

 

[Feuerkelch]

maybe we can put together some ideas to make one perfect mod to be honest i dont have the time to create a mod right now... i can tell you my ideas, but dont count on me in scripting... i waste most of my time with scripting a browsergame xD

 

[Linoleum]

i could make a map or two for it. although im already part of a mod, this would be a cool sideproject.
but with no dedicated members the mod would just die.

 

[Feuerkelch]

this idea does not have to be a mod... a mutator would be enough... because we only need to change the models and weapons. maybe the perks, too, but thats a thing for later on development...

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Sounds like something Bruce Campbell should be in...

 

[Nenjin]

The bulk of the work would be in texture and model design. KF already has enough environmental textures and meshes you could do it...but enemies, weapons and player models would require someone that knows what they're doing. (And in that department, I don't.)

 

[Alex_KF]

guys this is a really cool idea

as Mr.Moe said, it made me spazz out with Fond "Army of Darkness" memories

Before I even heard about this idea, I started working on a castle map for me and my friends to play across LAN. I've included some early screen shots.

Please note that the geometry is only about 90% complete, lots of textures need changed/adjusted, and hardly any decorating has been done (I've included screen shots of pretty much everything I've decorated so far. Much less working zombie spawns or pathing, and most of the current lighting is just there to illuminate during playtesting, and will be revamped before completion.

I figured you guys might be interested in it, seems to fit this idea well

 

[midashand]

Heres a few more screen caps of inside the keep.

Also, sorry for the odd sizes of images... the forums file size limits are rather small..

EDIT: hahaha odd, my second post gets put up before my first one... I wonder why my first one required moderator approval and this one did not.... oh well, whatever, explanation and more screen caps on the way as soon as the post gets approved.

 

[midashand]

Hmph I'm tired of waiting, gonna see if I can get another post up. If I can, I'll edit more info into it.

Alrighty it worked! Ok, lets try this again.

I was working on this map before this topic was even posted, but I figured you guys might be interested.

90% of the geometry is done but thats about it.

All kinds of lighting, texture, decorating (meshes, doors, functioning traders), and pathing work needs done as well. I originally only intended this map to be used for LAN play with some friends of mine, but if theres enough interest, I may polish it up for a public release. I'd also be more than willing to hand it over to anyone who intends to make this type of mod a reality.
