New Games for Gametoast

Someone said that guru made this website entirely for BF2...thats not true!

Did you notice that we have also been messing with BF2142?

And we wouldn't be adopting like 50 games like filefront did, just a couple

And besides rules on filefront are a LOT less strict then they are here so its growing in a rapid and mod-noobish way.

Now on to the games we are talking about:

1)I don't know much about Rep Commando but that sounds cool

2)How about modding Halo 2? That game has been around for about 2 years and is still among the most played games. That would be an excellent game to mod!

3)What's JA?

Halo 2 Modding is very challenging and requires a mod card. Sadly, I think you can only have two models per map, which is why you originally have Elites and Spartans.

If anyone has been wacthing any Halo 2 mod, then you'll see more of what I mean.

Code: Select all

SWBF2 wasn't around when the site was first created..

Halo 2 is going to be quikcly swaped away by halo 3.
I think that the best option is the Battlefield series. That is were Battlefront came from so they are very similar.
Wouldnt be such a big change.......

When Halo 2 Vista comes out it will be a great addition to the site.

As far as JA (Jedi Academy), RC (Republic Commando) and KotOR (Knights of the Old Republic) goes, I have a suggestion I'll be posting here shortly for the staff.

I'd support the expansion of Gametoast.

That sounds like fun.

Yeah. We could easily become the next...um...okay, so we could be the first...um...[word/phrase/name/whatever]...

Anyways, everyone ignored me when I suggested JA a while back...now everyone's suggesting it...

id help with the JA forum, ive been modding it for years, toss a question my way and i can answer it no prob about modding the game. kotor is cool and all but teh modding for it is VERY limited, i think its only moddable to weapon models and reskins, no player models and animations and its not multiplayer so what fun is using a mod if you cant show it off in real time?

LOL! I assume there's now going to be a plethora of "can I moderate the new such and such forum" requests.

In terms of what new games to mod I think we ought to be looking at new games. Getting in there early means that we'll be able to dominate the modding of that game rather than simply playing catch up. Because of this I think we should be looking at some of the games due out in the new year. penny-arcade.com has produced a "Coming In 2007" PC Games List (click the link) of nearly 100 games. Obviously this doesn't include any SW related games yet, however that doesn't mean that one won't be released, that's pretty much a definate. However we could look into modding other games to be (for example) Star Wars related, following the example of First Strike and the BF2 / BF2142 mod. Obviously most of the games aren't applicable but some are and could offer some great gaming experiences and mods. It maybe worth while thinking about the potential of some of these new games prior to release.

mini', sorry to say this, but the Star Wars Knights of the old Republic modding is not that limited. You can get brand-new Player Models and Animations in-game...

I recomend making a poll or a contest for what game should Gametoast home.

minilogoguy18 · Post by **minilogoguy18** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 1:41 pm

lego star wars so so corny and childish, i dont see why people like it, its player base is most likely 10-14 year-olds. i didnt know you could get new playermodels and animations in kotor, i knew someone who modded for it and last i checked you couldnt. theyre good games but you can only play through them so many times even with new stuff before getting bored, its a single player RPG.

EDIT: after looking on kotor files i saw nothing about new playermodels and animations, if they exist post a link.

Pereza0 · Post by **Pereza0** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 2:46 pm

Kotor is already old i my opinion EDIT: Lego Star Wars NOOOOOO.
What I want to see is a shooter

minilogoguy18 · Post by **minilogoguy18** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 3:02 pm

i say source engine, it has the absolute MOST modding options available and you can use MOD TOOLS TO EXPORT EVERYTHING! thats what mod tools was made for, the HL2 and source engine modding community. the full source code for the engine is downloadable and people make thier own games on it all the time.

Talibanman · Post by **Talibanman** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 3:36 pm

there was some hl2 modding here in the past, but it died away..
i think source would be the best option.

comandoBoB · Post by **comandoBoB** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 7:46 pm

After reading threw this thread, I've changed my mind, GT should expand, SWBF2 is getting old,and there are many new games out there that could become only better if our modding community got a hold of this!

Games we should think about adding
JA
Repulic comando
lego star wars (if modd able)
EAW
KOTOR
halo
half life
these will be our base for a poll, any other one just post em

Post by **Teancum** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 8:14 pm

The thing is this: It really doesn't matter which game we pick, the real work is getting the word out that we're the place to visit for modding. KotOR, JA, Source-related games -- it doesn't matter if we don't come up with a way to bring people here. Just about any game on the list would be fine, we just need to members to back up that game.

Post by **guru** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 9:04 pm

yea in the past we dropped Hl2, fear and republic commando and all 3 were barely touched until removed. I did at one point make a dungeon siege website that out ranked the star wars area 50 to 1, dunno why but that game was a zillion times more popular. It seems like if we offer files that other sites dont have for any given game it does well but if we just make a forum area and talk about it, they dont last a month.

so whatever we add , we must all actually mod or use for it to actually prosper

go figure no one wants to visit an area no one visits , lolz.

New Games for Gametoast

Should we have other games?
