Hi folx,
Well, the idea itself is not that new, i know, but anyways...
What would u guys think about a community realism addon/ bonuspack mutator/ mod?
I was thinking about something like the bonuspacks for UT2004, maintained by experienced members, where all creative people could submit their quality stuff if they want. Which could be:
- Textures: uniforms, new nations (italians, romanians), vehicle textures etc.
- Static meshes: any kinda stuff, which the creator thinks is useful for future maps/ is still missing
- New actors/ animations: could be almost anything, from random flarelight actors to new driveable vehicles (/me would love to see drivable rowboats f.e.
), one good example is that nice parachute mutator
- Gameplay related mutators: Well, f.e. teamswap mutators and alike.
- Sounds
- Etc.
All in all, all the stuff we are missing and which is not in the developers priority list. This way we could
- avoid going on TW devolpers nerves by requesting all the same stuff again and again...
- avoid tons of mutators/ addons developed by several ppl, with putting all the cool stuff together in one package, which could updated from time to time
- having a good ressource for future maps and mappers, smaller maps even too, while noone needs to build stuff he wants within his map anymore
I think the whole thing should be limited for 41-45 only (f.e. Finnish winter war addons should be a seperate mod, imho). Of course it needs to get maintained and controlled, that noone puts in some kinda cheating textures or whatever.
Everyone who submits his stuff gets special credits, of course, as a license the Open Unreal Mod License or Lesser Open Unreal Mod License could be used, or maybe the Creative Common License.
Well, what do u guys think? Good/ bad idea, possible/ impossible?
