Car driving & First person mod for RW? Brainstorming forum, bring idea

[hunter]

After the possible revival of the MDurdan route was shot down (by me, sorry) and the North East PA route is on hold for now I was thinking of another idea I had in mind for a while. My idea is to combine HL2 with RW3 to make the king of all mods. What do I want to accomplish with this you ask? I want to make an all in one game, a first person shooter type base where you can drive trains, cars trucks and you can also get out and shoot and interact with things like in any other game. I have a few ideas for this, most of wich are based around paranormal kinda jump scare things that you have to escape from, and others are kind of like Call of Duty with drivable military trains and nuclear war break outs where you have to escape bombings and attacks and that kind of stuff. Anyone interested please reply on this forum or PM me, need some people who have experience with RW and people who have experience with HL2 mods.

that sounds like a great idea BUT there would be ALOT of modding and it would take i would say 2 years of non stop work.

Would that be possible?

if it is, i wish you good luck!

I wanted to just combine the two to run as one game and possibly be able to use both editors to make routes and stuff. Would that be possible?

No idea. Try taking GTA and making it so you can drive a train like in Railworks.

I can't imagine why.

I have an idea; create a HL2-themed route running through the locations seen in-game (Ex. City 17 to Nova Prospekt), with the trains used in-game (The Combine Razor train and whatever re-purposed European trains they used)

Wait, wasn't this forum supposed to be about trains?

You could incorporate a car with a "cab" and have it run on road "tracks" with "switches" at intersections. Add signals for traffic lights and underground signals at RR crossings, send some AI trains through, and don't forget to stop at the crossing!

Now that would be cool.

I for one think that would be a bad idea. Probably not the driving of the cars, but any shooting in the game, since this is a train simulator where anyone can enjoy it. Really, let's leave it as a train simulator and leave the war everything out of it.

Most that play the simulator want to drive trains and get away from war games, if that was in the sim I doubt RW would draw the type of player it's supposed to. Basically, any possible freeware modeler of trains or scenery would probably go down the drain.
