k ill focus on the special weapons guy & equipment 1st & I also recommend u get some one to make a lua scripts for this.

EG menu were u can chose the player characters then equipment load out. CTs will be the simplest way to make the marines & ts as zombies as well. reskining the T team in to aliens shouldn't be too hard.

A lua script too boost there AI is also recommended if thats possible as bot aliens will be stupid with out it Example would be when u weld a door shut (use wrench for this + lua scripts) the alien bots will go stupid & not break through the door like they do in alien swarm.

Random spawn points for them would also be required EG vents & what not.

this mod is somewhat stupid because it would just be like the original Alien Swarm - 2D

First of all not everyone has the original. Second of all! not everyone has steam too. Third of all Most people in the philippines play cs2d so I just want my fellow filipinos to come join me in alien swarm since they don't have steam.And gtfo if you don't like my idea.

Well im currently having a lack of time to work on my own mini mod so yea i have no usable player skin atm I have the original Alien Swarm so yea ill take a screen shot of it in game with the players & via GIMP copy the marines colors to be as close as possible to the original At the moment i would only be able to create a beta version of 1 marine IE they will not be shaded well or at all This mod will not die as id hate to see that so yea so long as im working on it its alive Progress at 1st will be slow as we are but 2 ppl working on this mod & well im technically working on 2

PS flamers STFU were making this mod for 2 reasons 1) not everyone can afford & or play the original games for various reasons & 2) we create mods for the love of the art & yes modding games is a form of electronic art

hey im interested in the scripting game sounds cool. to be honest..ive never played the game also my lua scripting skills are limited and not as perfect as blazz xP i could try me best to help though...also, what is the vents?

thats pretty cool :p if we do that then would it matter if it was a map feature or lua? because the vents could be easier done with map with adding just spawn points that are disabled then enabled after a few seconds...giving it the effect like they are attacking the vents to get out. even adding some zombie snd next to it that disables when the vent is gone would help. should i make a example to show you what i mean? im not good at explaining

old Important lua scripts

sounds good to me However we will need a lua script to do to things if we want to mimic 2 important aspects in the mod.

1) we need to boost the zombies (aliens) bot AI so that they attack & break through fortified doors like in the original alien swarm.

2) we need to make the wrench be able to turn dynamic walls (bulk head doors) into destructible walls & if possible back in to functional dynamic wall (doors) since in the original alien swarm the marines can "weld" doors shut to slow down the aliens progress & unweld doors that may be blocking their path.

There will be more lua in the future but these 2 aspects will be required to make a true alien swarm styled game play & servers.

Yea were still not sure if we will make it a standalone as that would be ALOT of work + a new source code For now well just make a simple mini mod or skin mod with sounds. lua scripts are planed for the future for designated Alien Swarm servers. Skins are the main focus atm & progress will be slow I have 2 jobs now as well as 2 mods im working on so yea be patient.

k well the doors are in the map & the marines cant make doors nor rebuild them after they have been broken. Once the door is welded & turned into breakables the marines arnt able to use the door again unless they unweld it the doors open on their own once the player & or aliens get close enough to them. This would be the most complicated lua of the mod but it would make the game a true alien swarm 2D effect.
