Project Icarus - Updates

[Dharus]

Well I've decided that since i'm not going to get much help on this one I'd chip away at it myself. Anyways I plan on releasing mods while I work that will be incorperated in my overhaul but someone told me that I wouldn't surface again for another 5 years if I did this so I will try to change that. So I'll update you on here in this topic and I'll be posting different mods that will all come together in the overhaul. Ok so let me give you a bit of an update.

 

I've begun collecting resources for this mod. I.E. Other mods. So far I believe I've come up with a list of over 200 mods but not all of those mods may get used. I just got them if they looked interesting. I'm gonna go through them again and test each one and see which ones I like. This will take a while.

 

Anyways so giving credit to over 200 authors of mods (Maybe less cause some come from the same author) it'll be a bit tricky. Not to mention getting permission to use the mod as a resource. So let me say this. If i've missed asking you for permission and you see your mod within this overhaul and DO NOT wish it to be there please tell me imediately and I will remove it. Of course that last bit will be included in the readme file but thats at a later time.

 

So officially Project Icarus v 1.0 has begun.

Ok so here's an update.

 

I've finally finished my task of searching through mods and have come up with a list that will be included in this project. However, its over 500 mods. So I'm going to go through and eliminate some by process of testing. And possibly since there are so many mods that I might have duplicated some. Overall my next move is to eliminate mods and start testing. After that starts the actual modding of the project itself where I decide which mods to combine and from there I will create one master file from which to start my own modifications.

Well i'm very sad to report that things are slow going. I only really have time to work on this during the weekend with college work as my first priority. I don't care though as i'm doing this purely for my own pleasure. Anyways I've started to download and sort through various mods. I haven't got it all though and hopefully I can get that done next weekend.

You should probably limit things to only those authors who specifically mention that their mods can be used in some sort of compilation, or who you can otherwise get permission from. If you don't have permission to re-use other people's content in your own upload, you'll only accomplish having one big, ugly mess to sort out as one person or another gets angry with your usage.

I just want to point out, Project Icarus is the name of a scientific company's project in a game called F.E.A.R. Just made me lol.

Ok well I've been slow but steady on this project and I think at this point its going to be new content across the board. This will take some time but as you told about the huge mess I thought about it and realized its not worth my time doing so. I think I still will put some content in there just not a whole lot. Oh yeah GOOGLEPOX thats where the project name came from kinda lol. My room mates and I were going through the series and I came up with the idea. There are other reasons behind the name though.

Ok here we go. I'm going still pretty slow right now because its just me so far. Right now i've been working on the magicka system, however to continue with this I need some people with scripting abilities and an extensive knowledge of obse to work on new spells, also i'd love the help of some animators to work on visuals for these spells. My knowledge is limited on a lot of this stuff but I have all the ideas in my head. I just need some help getting them out. So please if you're interested contact me. Thanks. :)
