Cube3 - a sci-fi mod for Cube

Hey guys, what do you think of making some advanced models for Cube, changing some textures and making a few new maps, and seeing how close we can rival newer video games?

What if we could even fool some people into thinking that what they were seeing was Doom3?

Is there any interest in a full-conversion dark sci-fi mod for Cube?

I dont see a point in this. If someone wanted to play doom3, they would go play it. Why should we try to make an excat replica? you see, LoZ is a great mod because it updates LoZ, this will just point out the weaknesses in cube. Try to make good stuff out of what you have rather than trying to turn what you have into something else. (that didnt make sense, did it?) i heard something about cube maybe having its own type of model format, but i dont know anything about it.

"making some advanced models for Cube, changing some textures and making a few new maps" is not going to be enough to rival any modern game...

If you want to beat doom3, mod q3 to surpass it, I´d say. Be sure to have a bunch of extraordinairily good artists and coders working 24/7...

Or make a cube mod, and lower your goals...

innovati, the idea is not bad...
not to start a war or anything in the forum, but i think i personally wouldn\'t mind at least an attempt at some other mods. i mean, the cube engine is small and fairly efficient, and there is a SERIOUS lack of mods out there. hell, i would help you out if i could model or anything like that.
but i think the others may be right about that an exact doom3 mod might not be good. however, i would definitely suppport a horror mod for cube that is similar to doom 3. dont be discouraged, please. i would love to see some work being done on some mods, and if you want to work on one, dont let others talk you out of it. to tell you the truth, i think everyone who is currently discouraging you from modding will one day be eagerly downloading your mod.
sorry i cant help more, but dont give up. you might want to start with Death Illustrated instead of cube, since it already has that dark, moody feeling and i believe its open source

you are right rik. If he does happen to make a successful mod, I will most definitly play it (i loved DI, LOZ, and Orb -in about that order too) >driAn< thats funny, but it might have been to harsh. But, lets be realistic, a mod like that needs coders, and you arent likely to get any when all you have is a good idea.

unless your handy brother finally got off his arse and started to help you out (sorry, i'm rather excited right now)

and LoZ is hardly finished- heck, i'd still consider it a beta. once i get some more contact weapons in, and some more maps i'd consider it a real mod.
