New mod idea "The 100"

[beama2005 11]

hi guys have been thinking about this for while now and wondered what people think?

ive been watching the tv series The 100 and i think it might be a cool idea for a mod. it will be similar to dayz/exile but will not have zombies. 

 

Plot:

97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth, humankind is living in space, residing in twelve space stations. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live. Resources are scarce and all crimes no matter their nature or severity are punishable by death ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life support systems are found to be critically failing, one hundred juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. However they discover that not all humanity was wiped out. There are people on Earth who survived the war, called "grounders" by the 100. The teens quickly discover they are not welcome by the hostile grounders and must band together in order to survive.

 

here is what i had in mind:

1. "the 100" are playable and sole mission is to survive/scavange/kill
2. there will be ai clans (the grounders,mount weather troops)
3. high radiation zones around the map that need gas masks to enter
4. survival system like dayz. food, drink and radiation levels
5. base building?
6. crafting
7. missions?

its a very loose idea but i think it would be so much fun to build and play.

is there any pro that will help me get this project going? or anyone with cool ideas that want to help? everyone is welcome

what do you think?

 

thanks beama2005

You should try A3 mod "ArmSTALKER Оnline" but problem is, it's only in Russian, I'm still hoping for a translate...

You'll get some of experinece that you want there, for now.

wow that looks impressive. this close to what i want to achieve.i dont have a lot of scripting know how but im going to start the process and see how it works out. any help/ideas you think of let me know.

 

thanks

 

p.s what map do you think will work best for this?

Hmm what do you think about map South Sahrani from ArmA?

Try to get into modding yourself. When you show the initiative, it gets alot easier to promote the idea.

 

Sounds like a nice survival mode, BTW. :)

Sounds like a cool idea, I wish you luck

Go for a custom terrain, it's not too difficult, mostly trees and lots of old wrecked buildings won't take long.

You may want to have a look at ravage mod. This one has editor modules which already bring you pretty close to your desired mission.

I like Altis for those kinds of scenarios. It has some Fallout/wasteland vibes.

i will try and get the basic core working first then try my hand at some map building. but i think your right a custom map would make it feel great!

im sure once i have made a start people might want to help once they see how cool it will be. ive made a start and found a few scripts that are useful. im working on contaminated zones right now and have a basic loot system in place. even if i have to work alone i will still get it done. just might take a bit longer!

 

thanks guys

I would recommend using the same system Altis life does with food and health. You can find the original Altis life mission around on Armaholic.
I wouldn't recommend adding too many mods cause it turns a lot of players off if they have to download 1gb+ mods.
I might be able to help at a later time.

I agree. Sounds great.
