Well, someone suggested that somebody should make a Left4Dead mod.

Left 4 Dead

This is a collaboration mod currently between myself and Azukki that currently includes the four survivors, various Left4Dead items and is planned to have many, many zombies as well as mission(s) surrounding the journey of the four survivors.

Be aware that this progress report is not always up to date, and may not have all information planned or work completed listed immediately.

Progress Report:

Survivors

Bill
Done
Zoey
Done
Louis
Done
Francis
Sprites: Not yet
Coding: Done

Zombies

Boomer
Sprites: Not yet
Coding: Not yet
Hunter
Sprites: Not yet
Coding: Not yet
Smoker
Sprites: Not yet
Coding: Not yet

Other Planned Zombies--
Tank
Witch
Lots and lots of horde


Finished Items
SMG
M16-Assault Rifle
Pistols/Dual Pistols
Med-Pack
Pills

Other zombies will likely be added, though this is still very much a work in process.
As well, it is likely other Left 4 Dead-esque elements will be added to the mod, as long as there is someone willing to code them.

Of course this mod is gonna have wenchin' sound effects as I can just take the sounds directly from the Left4Dead sound folder.

Pretty nice spriting there.
I'll help, I guess. So long as you do make Louis sprites and use the game's sound effects, as you said you would.

I'd also make a Boomer if you sprited it, along with fitting effects. [vomit and nasty musty brown gaseous explosion remnants] Maybe make it in the style of the preexisting CC zombies, if you won't be making other zombies?

The Smoker tongue would be completely impossible, a Hunter could have glitchy tackling/clawing, the Tank could work, and so could the Witch, but their melee attacks would be a tad lacking in appearance.


A working AI-attracting pipe bomb would be cool, if that could be done. Would a brain category actor added after the game has started redirect AI closer to it to go to it? Worth a try.

Great, another "mod suggestion" to use CC as a platform for replicating a different game. I see this as being almost as successful as the Halo and Command & Conquer ports!

Stop using the game this way. Make up your own original content.

kthx :]

On the bright side, your actor sprite looks nice, but its going to get totally destroyed once someone has to take it apart to make it fit into the game's way of drawing units.

Hey cortex wouldn't be the same without other games in it, like saying gmod is fun without using tf2 ragdolls for posing, just doesn't work out AS well

Garry's Mod is fun without using TF2 models. I have never in my life used TF2 models.

There are tons of people who don't even use player models at all. Your point is invalid.

What are you talking about, crazy person

Post subject:  Re: Left 4 Dead : The Survivors
Thanks for offering to help Azukki! Very much appreciated.

I think people are mistunderstanding what I wrote though- that sprite of Bill isn't the only picture I have. I have an entire folder of sprites for Bill which correspond to everything for a CC actor.

In other words, that picture is just a squish together of some of the Cortex Command Format Bill Sprites.

So really, all it needs is code; footanims, limb frames (front and background) are all there. =]

OMG I'm that someone who suggested making a left 4 dead mode my dreams have come true, you know what I mean.
Well anyway the sprite looks good I really would like to listen to what you have planed in the game play region of the mod, you know what I mean. You know what I mean, like scene's, game play, medipacks, pipe bombs the works, you know what I mean.

I'm pretty sure he's only talking about making actors, if im reading this correctly.

Post subject:  Re: Left 4 Dead : The Survivors
Ringwall, I'd be happy to help too. I prefer coding to spriting, and zombie mods are the shiz (Yeah, I said it). Azukki has more experience, but whatever help you need, PM me.

It sounds like others are working on zombie sprites, but you have good quality. Do you think you can tackle zombies?

Post subject:  Re: Left 4 Dead : The Survivors
Though I didn't much appreciate your comment towards how other games mods shouldn't be made for Cortex Command, ProjektODIN, you are right in the fact I had only planned to make actors, specifically, the survivors. However, if people are willing to code pipebombs, zombies, and other such things, I would be happy to make all the sprites for such.

@eternjc
Thanks alot for offering to help!

If this mod is going to have as much content as it could potentially have, I would guess Azukki wouldn't necessarily want to write craploads of pages by himself for all that.

@zeno39
Well, all I can say is thanks for offering the idea! I didn't plan on making any special scenes, but as I've said before if someone is willing to create it I am willing to make the graphics for it.

P.S. I am half done spriting Zoey, and I do plan on spriting Louis and Francis even if I am not going to make anything else, even though I very, very, very likely will.

Left 2 Die

It's coming along well, but I'm running into troubles with the hands. Anyone know how to get hands to align with arms and devices nicely?

The sprites have the same proportions as coalition light arms, but using the same offsets as them yields different results.

The hands look alright to me, what's wrong with them?
