CJB100's "Realistic Mod"

[CJB100]

Ok, so i was going to make a mod for the game, and i have some good ideas, but it has come to my attention that many aspects of the in-game screen are far beyond my ability to create. Here's what i have so far . I was modifying from one of stranxk's mods, so that's why the menu's are from his mod. the only changes are on the actual in-game screen. Here are my changes:

*fretboard (wooden with strings, and it glows slightly yellow for sp)
*notes (the ones stranxk made)
*note trails and whammy (i just made the sp trail white)
*beatline (made to look like the metal part on the guitar neck that seperates the frets)
*sp glow (so that the glow doesn't include the boardside)
*lightning off board (made yellow)
*lightening strikes for sp (crappily made, looks sh*tty in-game, but i tried to make the glow yellow)
*blue star (made a fuzzy white thing to match with the notes, doesn't look half-bad. could be better)

That's what i have done, i can't really do much of anything else, and i am a bit discouraged to do the menus (even though i know i could, but i am just not feeling too creative at the moment) if anyone wants to pick up this project, let me just say one thing.

I wanted the background to be a guitar head, that kind of sprouts off the board, that way it looks like the full guitar neck, instead of just a section of a fret board (if that makes sense). Then the rest of the bg is just whatever is in the background, the stage, a clip of the other band members, or some of the crowd, etc.

Would this concept go well with the frontman mod that was being worked on and possibly abandoned?

yeah strank notes

@derelict:

ya maybe, but if it was abandoned i can't just use his work w/o permission or i prolly already would have done that or something similar.

idk tho, if i credit him that might be enough. i'll look into it.

[derelict68]

Well, he signed on a week ago, so I guess a PM and if you don't get an answer within a week I'd call it abandoned.

Frankly I feel that we should just setup some sort of standard like if there isn't an update within a month, then a PM is sent to the author stating that unless a reply is sent saying that he intends to keep working on the project within a week then it is classified as abandoned and anybody is allowed to pick it up....thoughts?

[CJB100]

little bit off-topic, but idc much, lol. uhh, well he hasn't done anything really with that thing so i'm just gonna see about combining this with some other unfinished mods.

that's almost impossible to do, think on the multi-player mode...

yeah i was thinking about that, but in the end it wouldn't matter much, it just would look like a 3rd guitar in the bg...
