its a porting problem in case of model. Models for first must be less-polygonized. Literally, phead will look like paper bag. + the animation must be remade. This is in theory. Once I get wheels running I will investigate this futher.

i liked what games like Fighting Force and Resident Evil: out break tryed and make everything in the area a weapon, why not try that in Silent Hill? can you imagen Harry kicking the crap out of one of those bird things with a bin? or the reciver of a phone?

i can. and i like very much.

Thanks, I get it. That sounds like it will require some effort, but it'll be cool.

These Mods sound awesome.

Any updates for us, sh_cityzen? I cannot wait to see some of your hard work!

i am currently messing aroung with sh cd. I need to find a way how to see inside the SILENT and HILL file. so far i am using just special filetype recognize mecanisms. If someone could help me with this!!!!

Hope to get some screens soon!

I almost figured out the basics of level editor. Or atleast what to change in order to load CUSTOM room.

Cool, thanks. I wish I had knowledge on this, sorry!

Tell me what needs to be done.

i'd like to see what files (with filenames and stuff like that) are in SILENT and in HILL file. They are somekind of PAK files... but what packer?.... i am writing somekind of soft to extract all files but so far unsucess....

Hmmmm....
If I were you, I would figure out what kind of encoding SH1 uses, and find a paralell cracked ps1 game that uses the same encoding.

some PAK files can be browsed with excellent prog called Total Commander, like Doom3 pak files or Quake3 or many others. You might give it a try but chances are small

already tried that. i tried about 100 different packing systems... no success.... but i am getting close with my own program.... it is just so time consuming....

SH_ cityzen: I admire your bravery and courage on taking such task. I mean, it takes loads of time and dedication. I want to post some ideas, like:

-New Endings
-New Areas & Characters
- And I have an Idea for the plot. As Harry walks into Silent Hill, he sees a corpse in the floor. And next to it, a note that reads: ''Help, the monsters are here, but you cant see them. Enter worlds with this'' Harry finds the item called ''Dream-Catcher'', which allows him to enter a persons mind and find more clues about Cheryl's whereabouts. This concludes in entering Dahlia's mind.
- Perhaps you should add Harry's wife.

Good luck with the project!

Mods for silent hill sounds awesome.

Ideas for the mods:

New campaigns as different Characters such as Cybil Bennett like everybody else.
New weapons and modification to the old ones in silent hill.

and I like the free camera idea but how will you be able to control it.you could make the mouse a camera but that would not work with epsxe will it.

you guys are asking way too much from a single pair of hands that would take year or more

thank you for wonderful ideas! i note them down!


It is indeed hard work, but since I am so huge fan into Playstation, I have learned a lot assembly language of it and stuff like that. I do have lot of other things to take care like my job and other things... but still.... during night time I lurk in psx memory and cracking stuff.... you should really see me doing it...

Guys:

My plot sucked, so I decided to make a new one, but with different characters. Here it goes.

So what do you think? You can include the other ideas.

Wow thats not too bad of a story but since Allison just wakes with no coma and the center has been abandoned.Its kind of sounds like she died to me.What do you plan to make the ending?

I will later include the endings. So far I have no idea about them. But i'll post them. That's for sure.

wow...... i got life work now...
