Title: Help! I've an idea and I can't get off the ground!
Post by: Aramarth on November 18, 2003, 05:00:53 pm
A while back I had an idea for an alternative game mode to warzone.  It has a lot of virtues, and I had a decent number of people begging me to make it as soon as possible.

The basic idea is already in existance.  I need all 5 of the smoke locations active (like domination), with the victory conditions of command and conquer (points dont accumulate, you just win when you have all five locations).  If the time limit runs out, the team with more smoke locations is the winner.  You can read more about the idea in another thread: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=4707

On to the reason I am posting.  If you have any pointers, or experience with making .gtf files, your input would be appreciated.  In the more immediate future I need to get a copy of igor.  Some people have told me that there is a version for the mac, but others say thats a relic of rouge spear and I need a pc for this.  Not sure who to believe, so would the modders please come forth and clarify all of this for me.

To preclude a more obvious post that I have got coming to me, yes I will be able to code.  I'm a CS major in college for crying out loud! ;D

Thank you d.  Not the first time I've been handed that link.  I'm sort of looking for a human resource or two.

     The only modding tool for GhR is IGOR. The only version of IGOR is PC-only, and came into existence with GhR. There was a different PC-only toolset for Rogue Spear.

OK so I'm getting igor and a way to run it.  Now would those who care to help in the post-getting-igor process please step forward.

Hmm... a fantastic resource, this forum. ;) Ah well, maybe I will just forget to share the mod once I'm done. ;D

maybe nobody knows how to do the post-getting-igor process 'cause they've never tried it?

Ok thanks anyway guys.  A little BASIC code swimming never hurts I s'pose.  Too bad they didn't code it in C, that would make this a cakewalk...
