|  | Hall of Mirrors - a Max Payne 2 mod « Thread Started on Jun 1, 2004, 9:36pm » | |
Well after much dissapointment at seeing various attempts at a Equilibrium-based mod fail, I have decided to take matters into my own hands and help create one.
Me & another young lad from my city, have decided to collaborate our efforts to bring you the ultimate Equilibrium showdown from the movie. **Note: you will need Max Payne 2 to be able to play this**
Here are some pics of the mod in its very early stages:
![[image] [image]](http://sennan.mockorange.com.au/Rick/HOM_01.JPG)

At this stage, all we have is the map....but I'm currently chasing up some Preston & Sweeper skins that I know exist.
Other things which will I'm hoping to be included in the final version of the mod:
- Weapons from the movie:- Grammaton Cleric Berettas, G36's, etc - Tetragrammaton shaped muzzle flashes. - Sound FX/music from the film. - Basic gun-kata animations & firing modes. - Equilibrium inspired menus - Plus a few other little things here & there. 
Actually, I was hoping for some help in the menu department from a few of the regs here (especially Father), so if you think you can create a kick ass pic for the mod then go for it! I will post up some more specifics (like resolution, layout, etc) later....
So stay tuned to this thread for more info.

You know, I was just thinking that Max Payne 2 would be an excellent platform to construct an EQ mod for.
I am, however, having difficulty envisioning how you could accurately portray and have the player execute the awesomeness of the Gun Katas. Maybe I just don't have a good enough imagination, but I can't think of a way to accurately and effectively implement such a feature.

Hence my use of the word "basic" before "gun-kata".
It won't be accurate, but it will be better than no gun-kata at all.
You are just going to have to trust me on this one....

Thanks Ona, but I didn't make the level - the young lad I'm working with is the talented individual who made the map.
I have another person who has started on Preston skin & its looking pretty good at this stage...he also will be doing the Sweepers (which he'd already created for Max Payne 1) & the weapons and they are looking good as well.
And I may take you up on that offer for a website GreyFox...why don't you have a crack at whipping something up if you get a spare minute here or there & show it to me?
More updates soon.

Cheers Father & Pyro!
Actually I wonder if anyone on these boards is into animation (esp using 3D Studio Max)....I have a guy who is pretty confident at coding a gun-kata system, but he needs animations of the various gun-kata stances to be able to get started on it.
Anyone here that can do that? I can get you the "bones" of the character to animate with....
And Father, check your PM.

Waaaaaaay ahead of you, Fusion.
There hasn't been a heap of progress on the mod of late but there has been a few bits and pieces here and there. One of which is putting in a black Cleric outfit as an unlockable extra once you've finished it on the hardest setting.

Plus Father & I have been in conference about making some menu art for the mod & as usual, his stuff is amazing.
I'll let him offer up the piccies as Wallpapers once we get close to releasing the mod.

Thank you mister Anderson  And No, I will not give the piccies as a wallpaper. Better yet, I will make a wallpaper for this MOD. 
Anyway, it's looking sooooo freakin' excellent - it's the closest you ever gonna get to a actual Equilibrium game - I mean look at the backgrounds, the guards, the lights and ofcoarse Preston himself...
Absolute Marvelous!

Since Max Payne is pretty much de rigeur in our house, we can hardly contain the excitement...
