First person shooter, but more realistic, I mean the hit point system. The problem with a lot of first person shooters is that when you shoot someone anywhere, you would take damage from a master pool of health. What I want to do is redo this so say you shot someone in your foot, you would hobble along and accuracy would go down and you would slow down but it wouldn't kill you. And you can gib, shoot someones arm off and they're as good as dead as they cant shoot but they can still punch. You know, more realistic damage system.

I'm working on details then I'll start seeing how I can build this. Anyone have any suggestions for a system like this.

tis intresting idea but the only prob with systems like this is tht 1 shot will generaly mean death or out of ne chances of survival lol withch could make 4 a v boring game lol

I approve of your system Si and I have been waiting all of my life for a game like this to come out. Apparently Project Origin is pretty good like this though, and you can dismember your opponents if you shoot them in the right place. However, I think that dismemberment also means instant death, whereas perhaps in real life, if you lost an arm you would surely bleed to death quite soon, or die of a heart attack or something, but I'm sure there's gotta be about 30 seconds left in you.

*Continues to think such pleasant thoughts*

I've been wanting something like this as well, adds more tactics to shooting. If you can get teamwork AI for the enemy it's even better - knock someone to the floor, medic rushes to help, kill them etc (assuming singleplayer).

If you have body armour you could say certain places are more protected, like a shot to the body wouldn't kill, but it would wind you due to the impact force.

It would be very interesting, it has been done before, with certain parts having health, but with no real adverse effects.

You might want to look at making it as a mod for the Source engine, it could be possible as I've seen a lot of things done with Source and you already have a lot of resources available that you wouldn't have to make, so could concentrate on making the game play right before modelling and mapping.

Apparantly you can do that on Far Cry 2...which looks awsome i might add

I'm going to look into making a mod with SourceSDK, especially after Valve's announcement that they're letting mod developers use SteamWorks for mod achievements soon.

Awesome, I'd like to help, but can't think of anything I could actually do, lol.

If you think of anything that I could do and you want doing, feel free to ask ^^

Also feel free to create a website etc for it on our server.

Fallout 3!

Check out the E3 footage if i remember correctly. I believe when his arms got targetted and badly injured his accuracy seriously went down and you could see you weren't hitting half as much. If you get shot or hit in the head though, instead of intsa-death (Ghost Recon) Your vision goes blurry and something else i can;t remember. Also as presumed you slow down if your legs are injured.

Also i been meaning to ask if anyone know a decent free game design program found online :\

Source SDK. Might need to buy HL2 to get, but that's only a few quid.

You just need the source engine so im not sure having a game matters much? Would it not just download that?

I'm not sure if you need to have a source engine game to have it, kinda like a cheap licence. You would need one anyway to run anything you made.

Not if your only using the engine...

It would be a mod, so you need one of the games to run it. The Source engine isn't on a free licence.

Deus Ex already had this, not to mention its one of the best games ever

Overall, it's a good idea, but definitely isn't noob friendly, and might not be for everyone.

Yea, I mentioned Deus Ex to Si.

Si, have you considered a 'blinded by pain' system, where you could black out briefly or anything?

I mean, losing a limb HAS to hurt!

For the most part designing a game that good, realistic, made well and has a good system is what people want. This is in fact near on impossible to everyone happy but at the same time I don't really think there is a game out there that doesn't have its flaws or downsides..

Not sure what your going to really get out of making mods.. There are millions on css all even weirder than the next.. One server I went on added a smoke like to grenades you threw? Made no sense really..

Making a mod is good experience and fun. There's no reason not to, tbh.

I would certainly be interested in playing this mod.

Also, if good mods get recognition, it can be good for the author...

Interesting thought. On Cod4 u get last stand.. but thats not the same.

Deus ex... hmm never heard of that. but when u get shot in the arm..like ur pretty screwed >.<" unless u have enough strength to pull out a pistol or summat.

When I fell off my moped I landed on my shoulder and also squished my hand when I landed. The moped went in to a ditch and when I tried to pull it out I hardly had any strength in that arm at all. I would imagine a bullet would probably render you useless!

+.+ daym. That is some harsh shizzz. hmm. was thinking, depending on the guns damage and bullet penetration it could cause different effects. So say u got shot with a glock at 20feet away. Ud still be able to shoot back with a pistol. But say an awp shot u O.o that would truely render ur arm useless... cuz u wouldnt have one.

LOL

just your arm useless? would you be conscious or missing half your body?

awp hit in chest... ud have a hole in you. so yee =D

Any real sniper rifle would pretty much blow a whole in you.. Unless your wearing some damn fecking good armour. But even then alot of snipers are armour penetrating so you don't stand a chance xP

Well a silenced rifle might not dues to the low muzzle velocity, lol.
