Hello all, With Model importing getting bigger, and since Mariokart's tool came out there has been nothing but model swaps, I decided to take on a project.
Basically I got the idea to turn Dead Rising OTR into as close to Left 4 Dead as possible using a new mission structure and model imports. Features:
-remove HUD (Solid's idea, certainly growing on me)
-import the 4 characters in the game, one for the player and 3 Recruits import all 8 characters from L4D and L4D2
-import Tank, Witch, Smokers, etc...
-make the game more level structured. i.e. Have an objective in each zone before you can move on
-dim all lights activated gas vents, slightly harder to see.
-aggressive zombies Done, may add more zombies
-having surprise hordes of zombies appearing at certain times
-Finish with a huge Hold Up level like in L4D
-open to suggestions
-Pipebomb-like item
-Multiple scenerios (missions.txt) releases for different levels
-Cameo by Frank and Chuck? New! Done!
What I need help with:
-suggestions and ideas of course
-adding L4D intro to beginning - thanks Solid
-tweaking L4D models - Thanks Solid
-finding L4D 3d models - HERE
-need help with ways to implement special zombies. I know how I will do the Tank and Witch, have ideas on how to do Boomers and Hunters. But Smokers I dunno, or any other ones I am forgetting.
-good objectives
-If someone is ambitious they can work on replacing voices with L4D voices
-if someone could get me a blank missions.txt (not deleting missions, but removing the content of the missions) that would save some time on my part
This just popped into my head as it has been awhile since this forum worked on a project. I'm pretty sure most of this could work but it will take a lot of work and time
LATEST PROGRESS[/b]
Missions.txt Progress: (10/24) Zone 1: done Zone 2: done Zone 3: done Zone 4: done Zone 5: done Zone 6: done Zone 7: done Zone 8: done Zone 9: done Zone 10: done Zone 11: done Zone 12: done[/s] - Lock doors- Remove save points-Clean up models -Import more audio |

You sure you're ready to do this mod?
I would try and get support from freako or madda first.

Why me? I'm not really interested in Left 4 Dead and the only way you're going to be able to convert zombies is if whatshisface comes back which is loldoubtful.

What I meant by this was you should try and get there help since this is a HUGE project (ie import the witch I mean even in L4D she's glitchy as hell). |

I think a big thing I'll need help with is compiling a list of missionobjectives from missions.txt so I know what I can deal with. I'm pretty sure there are objectives for killing certain survivors or all zombies in area, or obtaining certain items. I am interested in these.

Small progress, working on just getting content in the files for now...  Spawned a Tank model, he WILL attack but for picture purposes I made him docile in the safehouse. Enjoy! |

Where did you get such a gigantic skeleton? The skeleton is the same, I just changed the scale in items.txt. I used it in my Zombie Mode for DR2. |

Small progress, working on just getting content in Wow... Have you been able to make it so that when a tank hits you you go flying? (ie like when TK hits you with his scepter thing and you go flying) Also what is that other model poking out of the tank? Is that just a glitch since he's in the neutral position? |

that's just a model glitch, I just quickly threw him together really quick so I have to fix his shoulders.
TK scepter? is that only in OTR? I don't remember him using it in DR2 so I'm unaware of the effect

The original doesn't have melee. If Tom is aiming for the first game's gameplay. I think he should aim for L4D2 since melee weapons improved the game ten fold. Also melee weapons are integral in OTR. |

Small update: Picture showing an aggressive Tank  had to scale him down a little bit since the last picture as his attacks were actually going over the player's head.... now its all good. maybe I'll take the time to get the most height and still deal damage. Picture showing Hunter  Hunter is stalking me. I know the name is wrong, I had it named "Hunter" but for some reason would crash the game whenever it got close. Models are not final, in my opinion finalizing the models is the easy part. I just want to show progress. |

Agreed but tommah I know you plan to base it on L4D1 but even if you base it on L4D1 it still doesnt mean you have to get rid of melee weapons... I understand if you just want it to be as close a replica to l4d1 as possible but that doesnt mean you cant put some DR twists in. |

That why I put a ? there because I knew there would be discussion and I didn't know if people would want a shooter or a DR-like game. To me its a majority rule. |
