Satx, from our forums, recently dropped Namehunter, the modder from our hosted mod Humvee Warz, and this is how it turned out:

satx007: So Name Hunter, to start us out could you give us a brief

discription of what you do in Humvee Warz?

NameHunter: Ok I'll try to be brief. Basicly,3 sides. GDI,Nod,and the Chaos

(played by

the AI). GDI and Nod use Humm-vees and Buggys as vehicles. Some examples are

Ion Humm-vee,Obelisk Buggy,and Stealth Buggy. Along with that are infantry

mechs which are basicly,infantry sized mechs. And to go along with all that

we have a spy character for both sides (going to be renamed to constructor)

which can deploy turrets with beacons. The Chaos are just a bunch of little

aliens with REALLY high powered weapons. Their purpose is to make sure that

there is always something to shoot at (a problem in the versions before).

satx007: Where did you come up with the crazy ideas that are in Humvee Warz?

NameHunter: My head often gets flooded with insane ideas. So I tried to put

in what I could. I do try to keep it at a level where it's not tooo insane (I say as I ask for very strange models from my modelers....)

satx007: So how long did it take you to release your first version?

NameHunter: About maybe...3-4 days I think. I ended up releasing lots of

versions quickly as I kept forgetting to take out things from tests in the other version or to fix a bug.

satx007: Are you proud with the work you've done so far on Humvee Warz or

would you change something you've done on it?

NameHunter: Mostly yes. Probally all execpt Block Land. The concept seemed

fun but I just can't make maps all that well.

satx007: What can we expect to see in the next versions of this twisted mod?

NameHunter: A whole lot.... You'd call me insane (not to say that some

people don't

already) but I'll tell you anyway. We will have new skins for the mechs and

Chaos. Better model and skin for the Death Troopers. Also we will have a new

Death Trooper commander called NHB (you can probally guess what that stands

for). With the use of scripts he'll probally be able to talk back in the

chat box a little. He'll also have 2 troopers under his control which I hope

(and probally wouldn't be too much work) he will be able to use to command.

If he does he'll use them to surround you. I also plan (well it's in

consideration) that the Chaos will have a new troop that can fire a bullet.

Where the bullet hits,a turret comes out! The Chaos are getting new turrets

and tanks. Even new aircraft. Lots of stuff. Even new deployables!!!

satx007: Where did you get the idea for a third side (Chaos) for your mod?

NameHunter: I needed something to help the mod that would hopefully get a

server up or

two. Back before the Chaos there would be probs where it was too easy to

kill the enemy base or there basicly just wasn't much of anything to shoot at. AI was getting popular then so it seemed like a good idea to have AI aliens running around in the center of the map killing things.... The only downside with it is that they seem to acutally get smarter as they play as,when I first played with them they were dumb things thatcould only dodge and shoot or about that. Now I see them using tunnels in Under and acutally even getting through Nod's base while the Obelisk is up.

satx007: Will you ever create new buildings for the third side (Chaos) Or

GDI or Nod?

NameHunter: Acutally we even have buildings for the Chaos right now in Block

Land. Chances are more will come!

satx007: Will you have custom made maps implemented into Humvee Warz?

NameHunter: Yep. One of them that is in the works is called Back Stab. Nod

and GDI will probally have to ally for a bit and then back stab the other when the time is right.

satx007: What was one of the hardest tasks to overcome in the progress of

Humvee Warz?

NameHunter: Getting people to play it.....well not so much that but getting

a server up!

Still haven't come over that.

satx007: How long do you plan on continuing to release new versions of

Humvee Warz?

NameHunter: Probally quite a while. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon

though. Far from it. The mod's not insane enough yet!
