Let's Bring Back the Flying Mod [IT'S BACK!!!!!]

[Wormwood]

Edit: IT'S BACK BABY!!!

Thanks SO MUCH to kavika for being the final person to push this update. You're a legend, and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Here it is in all its graceful glory:
https://github.com/kavika13/og_flying_mod

And thank you thank you vallejo18 for starting the work on reviving this mod. You're an incredible human being.

And, of course, thank you CryptoSeven for being the first person to make this mod many alphas ago.

Last but not least, thank you Last for keeping the mod updated with your Blood Mod for so long.

You people are awesome.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A long time ago now, there was a flying mod. It hasn't been updated since 207.
Here it is, embedded into Last's Blood Mod:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12064

And the original, by user CryptoSeven:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17020

The flying mod was possibly my favorite mod in any video game ever.

That video does little to convey how **incredible** this mod felt, especially after some updates made the physics even *better.* It felt so free.

The *speed boost.*
The *dive bomb.*


To cut to the point: this is a request. Now that the game has integrated mod support, which will make it easier to keep any mod updated with the game, please *please* **PLEASE** can someone revive this mod? I would be eternally grateful. I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I want it so bad.

And I'll leave you with this demonstration of the full features of the mod:

*Moved to the Modding forum*

No one deleted your other posts, the sever crashed and we lost two days worth of posts... however, you did post the same basic post in a lot of topics, which could be considered spamming, which would be against the rules.



I would love to see this mod come back though, I gave it one pass, but it didn't work. Someone with a bit of coding knowledge should be able to bring it up to speed pretty easily though.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. And yeah, I was worried it might be considered spam, so I'll leave it to just this post. Sorry I jumped to a conclusion.

And thanks for giving the mod a go. It's nice to know there are others interesting in reviving it. Here's hoping...

Also Anton, me and others have tried but got stuck.

Considering that this is a script mod. It maybe the reason why it is difficult. I would like to take a stab at it, if someone would so kindly point me to the original post (without Last's Blood Mod) hell even the last's mod that had a known working animal run. I would like to attempt to bring both back.

Thank you for giving it a go. Let me know how it works out in either case.

I'll be watching this thread with much anticipation.
Oh, and make it better than the original.

I can help with any scripting questions you might have. Just let me know.

[Wormwood]

Oh, and make it better than the original.

Is that even possible? It was already so dang good.

[Sledge]

I can't wait to see this...

Question for the Community. Does anyone know if there any changes made since being maintained via Last's Blood Mod? Subtle changes like Buttons, configs, animation etc. Also, Does anyone knows which version and which build allowed the "Animal Run" to work via Last's Blood Mod. Questions that I am too lazy to go figure out. I am now working on this as of now. Starting with Flying Mod, Gyrth, I always have scripting questions but I rarely see you on the same time as me, steam me more.

Just send me some code, what doesn't work and what you want to happen. Then I'll be able to help out. Pm's work for me.

I love everyone in this thread right now. I'm hyped.

[Autious]

It's amazing to see the modding community come back alive to revive this old classic =)

[Wormwood]

It's been a few weeks. Have you guys made any progress? Gyrth and vallejo18?

[Gyrth]

I haven't had any PM's from vallejo18, so I don't know.
