sorry man, this isn't exactly on time or anything, but i had to work yesterday and this morning, so i didn't make it to the forums...

Im me, Im doing cogs, and i have no idea how far in percents i am cuz 1) I never could figgure that whole percent thing anyway, and 2) I dont know everything that needs to be done yet. so call it 10% or so in a hopeful-sounding kinda way...

Oh, and have we determined what kind of person you play? like sherrif, thief, vigilante, etc? just wondering... And i can help w/ the horse cog if you need.

Ok.
First off I am designing the plot. You play a bandit originially a vigilante.
Name: Donavan Clydsdale
*Your an 18 year old college drop out (b/c you liked your wiskey and women. Therefore, not to dishonor the family name, you forge a letter by the dean that you died in a gun fight saving a lady. You turn to an outlaw friend and convince him to let you join a band of theives. (name of gang to be determined)

*Note for his skin, I want him to be able to wear a long trench coat type outfit with matching hat. Give him a "scruffy" (;-)) looking appearence. He can be left handed (now there would be something to fix up, make an entire shooter based on a left hander!)

Basically the kerchief thing can be on and off. He goes to large area, he wears the bandana across his face, other times, he doesnt. He does missions in the beginning with a AI buddy, and later by himself as he gets better.

For nickname: I dunno, I was thinking Dasterdly D or something. I need some input on that.

First off. I want an email from our boys to see whats done and whats being working on. We have to have a chat together to make some connections. We also have to create a site with some one hosting us (Hopefully!)

There, that's my 2 cents. (Or back then, enough for some chewin Tobacco)

I've always been wondering, what is a TC and how did you insert those pictures?

Wow, that's a great idea for a storyline! I have a question though. Is this going to be a "life-like" TC or will it be like a Black and White Cowboy movie (with sterotypical Indians and stuff like that)?
By the way, I'm working on a Reverand skin (with a clerymen collar ) and I kind of want him to have an active role in the game...
Oh and I can play the harmonica well so if we want some harmonica music for the cutscenes or something I can provide it.
And some one should play piano so we can have a piano playing man in the bar. And what would be really cool is if you could kill him and the music would stop!

[This message has been edited by Sachmo (edited July 16, 2000).]

some level screens:
some untextured buildings
the un-finished, un-textured saloon
the uhh, area that will have troughs and stuff
and the trainstation(without the train 3do, im still waiting for it to be done by 3dostudio)

Cool levels, Sachmo!
By the way, my ICQ account got deleted again. I think I did it myself this time.
Anyhow, new number is in the profile, as always...

First off, yea we sorta have people making weapons (I think 2) I would like to hear from them and updates and such.

Secondly, I was thinking this way before, but how about using the Reverand Skin as a "disguise" when our hero (villian) gets some info of when the gold shipment arrives at the bank and leaves, something of that nature. Finds o ut where Sheriff is gonna be. He has to go into a bar. Has to act like the Reverand he is( ie: Not pull a gun, say no to drinks, girls, etc.)

Anything else?

AURGH!! My ICQ number keeps getting deleted!!! My sister says she doesn't touch ICQ, so I haven't the slightest clue what the heck is going on!
New number is located where it usually is (i.e. my signature ).
That's a good idea for the Reverand Skin!
What should the main character look like? I know you already gave some specifics, but give me some more details (hair color, facial hair, etc.), and I'll have the skin done poste haste.

my icq is in the sig too, but since work is crazy this week w/ a tournament and all, im only gunna be on like late at night probably... *sigh* work really sucks.
ach, lookin cool everybody, and i was thinkin maybe a level that takes place at dawn, and if you dont finish in time, the sherrif comes and stuff. It could have the lights outside fade in gradually, and maybe a sun-looking 3do sliding up over the horizon. and voice clips at certain times telling you to hurry up, its pretty light out. cool idea w/ the reverand, btw. signing off now...

Ok, I'm pissed now. I need to get this out of my system....
[This portion of the message censored by the Board of Good Taste]!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Every time I shut my stupid computer off it erases my ICQ account! Unless someone can clear this up, ICQ is going bye-bye.

Try and listen to this sound file of mine. It could be used for say the new mission objective complete sound. Just a thought
http://dicktracy140.tripod.com/westerntrumpet2.wav

I think it would be better with a strummed guitar chord after it finishes, if any guitarists are out there, please try this idea

hey, im gunna work on a cog for like swinging saloon-type doors, that you can shoot off and stuff, so if any of you level-peoples want it when its done email/icq. And the most honored SithLord and i were talking, and we got a cool idea for a multiplayer mode: Cow tipping! one team plays the tippers, and the other the farmers or something. The tippers try to tip the cows, and the farmers try to stop them. if all the cows are tipped w/in the time limit, the tippers win, otherwise the farmers do. Just an idea...

And one of our darn best ideas at that!
Does anyone have any clue how to fix my stupid ICQ, short of never shutting off my computer ever again?

Brad I tried to mix a few guitar strums into the end of your trumpet solo thing (BTW nice, and I play trumpet too) and it sounded terrible. You could tell when the trumpet wav ended and the guitar one began. I need to learn how to use the mixer better!!!

And I think that cow tippin' thing is a great idea. Just make some cogs and use Zan's cow 3do. I got some mad cow sounds we could make the cows make when they get tipped.

------------------
I will have my vengeance. In this life or the next.

And on to Zuk's Ideas for guns and stuff. The conc could be changed to like a buffalo rifle. (VERY powerful and with slow reload but accurate as hell). And I think the dynamite should replace the TD's and the mines should be dynamite clumps and secondary fire could be like a detonator so you can wait and then push the handle.... hehehe


------------------
I will have my vengeance. In this life or the next.

for the cow tippin, we could have it so when you punch the cow like 2-3 times it tips over, and about the door thing, sounds good.
oh, and whoevers doin the website, try o get newspro, it lets all the staff members post news. if ya cant find it ask Z@anrdi

I like those weapon ideas, lets do it.

I'd like to get a website off the ground also. So anyone want some guys to start it up and maintain its good.

Just let me know

Cow tipping sounds good, doors are great.

fernando, if ya need any help with the page i can help ya out

I have put up a page containing some sound files that I have recorded that may be useful in this WesternTC. I have mainly trumpet riffs that I recorded (I play the trumpet), and two gun hammmer operating sounds. Tell me if you think they will help.

HEY - the buffalo gun was my idea! Look back at the first page (about post #5).

Sorry Sachmo, I think you have done an outstanding job with your level so far. Try making false fronts/facades on the buildings to make them look western. If anyone needs any custom sound effects I can help, just let me know, we should make EVERY sound original shouldn't we?

Brad

thx. im almost done with my level now, just waiting on the train 3do from 3do studio so i can do the train part of it.
i even added a secret robber hideout, and theres a tunnel you can take from the hideout to get on top of the roof of one of the abandoned buildings.

Ok, Ok, the URL of the site is http://www.stas.net/oldwesttc Sithlord_ExarKun knows the password. Somebody needs to come up with a good design because i am busy on my level (seriously trying to get rid of lag)

Brad

hey guys, go here and tell me if you like it for navigation, if you do ill set it up on the page

------------------
member of the Wild West TC

Yeah, thats pretty cool. maybe put it in its own frame up on top so you can always see it?
OK, heres the preliminary layout for the cow-tipping thing:

there are two teams, the "farmers" (all names under development and are descriptive only at this point) and the "tippers". the tippers have no weapons ( or only a few basic ones ), and the IR goggles (or whatever replaces them in the TC. doesnt give away your position) They are mostly stealth, and try to tip over the cows. The farmers get weapons at the beginning. they have the field light (or whatever. gives away their position.) they try to hunt down the tippers and protect the cows. Levels should be mainly dark to accentuate the stealthiness aspect.

any ideas, please post/email/icq. all suggestions welcomed.

I started working on the cogs already, sort of a highly modified ctf. we need some cow 3dos and anims, so if any of y'all can get/make some... and levels, when were done w/ the SP.

Sorry MikeC I didnt see that. I give credit to MikeC for the buffalo gun idea. And I've already got a ton of gun and other western sounds done so Brad tell me what kinda gun sounds you have and we'll get things sorted out. I liked that page too.

I was going to use that dynamic drive script a while back but i noticed (if it is the same one) that if you try to use it with frames, the dropdown menu will only appear in the frame where the code is. So the frame will have to be huge in order to fit all the items

well thats poop! maybe we could mod it to do the bar along the side, so the dropdowns could still fit in a smaller frame?
any ideas at all on the cow-tipping??

Incidently i have done some small cogging for a number of my levels and have messed around with the force powers and things like that. I can understand and write cog code, since it is similar to other programming languages. But i haven't done any really big cogging projects :-( so i don't know how useful i would be in this area :-|

But if someone wants me to try and do some cogs for them, i'll give it a go :-)

PS: Notice how my smilies changed throughout the post ;-)

if your talking about targets, i have a slide out menu that is tweaked to use targets. give me a minute so i can show you what i mean
