- 1. Custom weapons - these include the PP7, possibly a light SMG and a rocket launcher. The purpose of this would be to get some of the game's weapons working to test out. This would mean that we'd have to stick with a Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map to test on but that doesn't matter too much.
2. Implementing a game mode - this would most likely be a Top Agent (for those of us who have played NF on console
). The purpose of this choice would be to test out firstly the game mode but also the game mode-setting console variables and map entity. I guess I would have to create a quick killbox-type map to test in but we'd still be using HL2:DM weapons.3. Dynamic Weapon Spawns - I just about understand the code for these now; the principle is that you specify a weaponset in a script file and different weapons are spawned in different places according to their "slots," much like NightFire console. This system will be the basis for many of the game modes and is extremely customisable - I'll explain it fully on the Wiki (http://www.007refraction.co.nr - I've moved the site slightly
) when I get it working in the mod. This option would mean that HL2:DM weapons amd maps would be used for testing.4. Player Model - This would most probably be Bond decompiled from Nightfire and "poly'd up" a bit to work in Source. Note that we'd still have to use HL2:DM maps and weapons until I start on Refraction-specific ones.
5. Custom Maps - This would mean that I created a couple of maps to go with the mod and test out some of the game modes that don't need any/much coding done to them. HL2:DM weapons would be used.
IMPO, I think that the hardest of these for me to accomplish at the moment would be the player model option - I don't really know how to model ATM and I'd only really be able to learn by making weapons, as they're smaller and easier, so the Bondage would have to be done by someone else more experienced. If such a person happens to read this, PLEASE PM ME! Thanks.
Lastly, I'd like to emphasise the importance of the feedback - without any potential-gamer opinion I won't really be able to make any form of useful progress. I'd like as many people as possible to register their thoughs about this; the more people, the better the mod is likely to become. If you have any comments or questions regarding any aspect of the mod, please post here.
Many many thanks,
all went to do their own projects, one starts here a new half-life experiment for bond another one there 
isnt it possible that u help tres and pencat with their hl2 mod to export nightfire there ???
).
Just to lighten up the game; I'll upload the thing when I've finished it. Unlike Refraction this is a really small-scale project thing which is fine to complete in a couple of days; I just fancied mucking up Nightfire like I used to in the Spectrum Mod days. Good times...
