MOD Idea: ETQW Mod for Soldat

(SebaSOFT) #1

I come up with the idea of honoring ETQW giving it a mod in a brainless fun game called Soldat.

I was thinking something like this:

  • No vehicles (just an “Icarus” powerup for Strogg)
  • Only APT and AIT
  • Engies would fix turrets and construct bridges so THEY can go throuigh. Not and MCP. (or a self-driven MCP like WET)
  • Artillery turrets YAY!

Best of all, everything is pixelart, so making a model and its animation it’s just a few pixels away fromk reality. We can even use some of this:

:goliathspin: :hog: :armadillochase: :oppressor: :orbital:

Wouldn’t it be a great tribute?

This is a sample of what can be done with mapping…

I like the idea. Use to be a Soldat fan back in the day too. Perhaps I should give it a go again one day. :slight_smile:

I like the idea as well… but somehow I can’t imagine pixelart in 3D.

How about soldat mod for ET:QW? :slight_smile:

Back to the topic, it’s a nice idea. Just need more design concept for explaination, i think

So, what is Soldat:
It’s a 2d “platform shooter” that already contains deathmatch, Team deathmatch and CTF modes, among ohers. You point with your mouse and walk with WASD, the rest is just plain mayhem.

So what’s my idea:

  • Put classes to the teams
  • Give them appropiate weapons (this is soprisingly easy)
  • No vehicles
  • Bring Turrets, except for the AVT of course
  • Bring mines, health packs, supply drops, violator/vampire
  • Maps like Volcano, with outdoor and indoor
  • Construct, Blow and Hack objectives
  • Don’t bring flyer drones, radars (well…), third eyes

Is it clear? My main concerns are about scriptable poligons (construct objectives)…

See a sample of map sizes…

I think now I get it… you want a “Soldat” like game but IN 2D… right? Not the other way around.

NO, I want to mod Soldat, no thinking in modding ETQW to be 2D
