Welcome to SiMod. My mod with a very unimaginative title right now, but later on I will give it a better one lol. This mod will be run via the Source Engine.

The idea is for an ultrarealistic first person shooter where not only the damage is varied by where you are shot, but also your bodys reaction to it, shoot someones foot and they walk slower and accuracy is put off, blast their brains out and well, they're still dead, but at least its a worthy kill.

This mod is currently in the planning stages, with us going over how to do stuff, but hopefully we can bring you some nice details soon. The mod will have a site soon, but in the mean time, this will be our development blog and comments.


And with this screenshot, SiMod is born!

Woa, I'm liking the sound of this!

You could also incorporate bleeding perhaps...just an idea.

I can sense what is going to happen here.

You're going to reskin Day of Defeat: Source as SiMod and then issue it to all of us. Then you're going to ask us for our opinion of it in 2 months time. We'll say it's brilliant. Then you'll tell us that it's exactly the same as Day of Defeat: Source it's just got a different name! We'll kill ourselves and [not] live happily ever after.

(Also, I am looking forward to this)

Also, your Steam is shiny and it looks nice.

Yeah, what's with your awesome Steam?

I look forward to watching your progress!

DoDS doesn't act the same way, I want gibs if I can get them!

My awesome Steam? I skinned it, it's called Slate http://www.deviantart.com/download/75323131/

This sounds interesting...

Hopefully it will be as successful as gmod xD

It does sound very intresting! I know a lot of people say they will start things like this and have huge ambitions and it ends up in shambles. Hopefully that won't happen to this.

Some of you guys seem to know what you are doing very well in certain aspects (Mapping, programming etc) so put it too some good use, eh?

Keep us updated!

Si, wigo and aaron can probably do a good job of this..

I have some programming experience but im too lazy to do stuff like this xD

Bleh, we all know my area is PHP but I guess I am OK at mapping. Si I'll give you a hand if you need any mapping help. I literally learnt all I know from the VDC and by playtesting.

lol atm all the stuff i know is from the oddd tutorial on and fiddleing developing fusion lol but to be honest si will prob do all the hard work to te engin and ne1 else will work on nething else we can lol

Yes aaron your in charge of making the webshite for it ;D

lol think si wnts 2 do tht

Probably not good. It'll start to look good, then it will get to the very promising stage, and then for whatever reason it will be deleted.

on the mapin frount wha engin and wha sorta syle we looking to make lol

We all know Aaron can never actually finish a website. Also, we know Si can make very good websites *looks at Techious*

This is pretty ambitious, though I'm guessing it will be fairly slow.

again, I'll offer anything I can, but I suck at everything you want xP

I have a fiver in my back pocket, what can I get with that?

I would assume episode 2...

As he was going for realistic good graphics make more sense..

Umm.. I modern style shooter war fare thing would be uber ;D

Think thats the one thing valve havent done tbh... But for the case I dunno if it would make more sense to make it from the css engine? But id imagine the maps would potentially suck more.

And yes.. Aaron probably has never finished a website ever..

Well teh Source engine is so flexible, it makes a good starting point for a mod.

I source Battlefield game would be teh best ;D

Thats actually promotes team work and not boring noobish play in a team deathmatch style almost.. Well it would be indeticle style to TF2 but more serious.

May I refer you to www.battlefield-heroes.com

That would be quite an interesting thing to do further down the line, but the original and primary idea of this mod is for a realistic damage system, I believe. Would make sense to do a final game around that kinda idea, but I don't think Si is bothered with that ATM (Sorry for speaking on your behalf if I'm wrong, Si) ^^

Don't worry he will add it to his list xD

like timesplitters cos u die so quick in that game ^^

Only reason I remember dieing fast on time splitters is the fact the guns wer ridiculously accurate and guns that fire fast pretty much wiped you out if they held aim on you for like a second..

Sounds like a good idea...Good Luck!
