About the Mod |
|
This Mod started around 2:30 AM at the THW Lan 2.0. We had a local ircchat and some participants said this:
[...]
$pike started coding a contenstpage immediately, but he did't say anything to anyone.
Surprise you know ;). 45 Minutes later some participants asked him what he was coding.
After explaining they helped him. Retrix was creating a texturepak. Adrian_Broher
modeled the player. A few hours later the contest began. The timelimit was set on
<DrZenz> iceworld remake contest <infi> iceworld suxx [...] <infi> killbox remake contest!° [...] 
2 or 3 hours. I dont know. The contest-participants started studying the original
Killboxmap :D. Here are some screenshots of the original map, if you dont know what I'm
talking about. As you can see, this map looks realy good and has a great, diversified
gameplay. Look at the funny pushboxes at the ground, or the beautiful, red lightning
effects. It's unbelievable, but this is one of the most played maps in Halflife
Deathmatch.
The contest-participants were mapping some realy crazy maps, but something was missing.
A revolutionary feature. A few momenets later we had an idea. We gave the weapons
new sounds - our voices. We decied us to respeak all deathmatchsounds (walking-sounds,
doors, buttons, ...). Adrian_Broher, SirJogurtKiff, and TheHammer were speaking
the crazy sounds. After testing the sounds ingame, working on the mod was realy hard,
because we are laughing all the time. The mapper were now compiling their maps. After
that it was time for the playtest. The new sounds causes lower deathmatchskills
so nobody can't frag very good. Some guys lay on the floor and had a laughing fit.
We had now to find out who was the winner. Every LAN-participants had one vote.
After all vote was enumerated we had to delivier the price to the winner - Infi.
He got a "Duplo", that is a praline. spezi|Cola got the secound place. Three mapper
were on the third place - Dr.Zenz, seal and LeJean. But one map was still compiling.
It was the map of LePrau. The Modfounder got free beer from the LAN-Orgas for this
funny mod. After drinking some beer we was ready to fix some bugs. The map of LePrau
has now finished compiling. We released Killboxmod v1.1. The development of v1.0
took 17 hours, v1.1 another 3 hours.
