I don't think they'll be able to get tanks etc and 64 player servers...

Cool, YAPAS - yet another post-apocalyptic scenario.
But then you might also say HaJ is yet another WW2 shooter - I don't really mind unoriginality, provided the makers of mods be original in some area, so I look forward to seeing the completed mod.

I'm not quite sure what the connection is to SteamFriends though.

The guys from SteamFriends (that's me, but I'm not working on it) are making it.

Hmm tanks. Good luck with that.

Not being an ass but multiplayer vehicles in Source is far from perfect. I wish I could find the quote, I think it was from someone at Valve who rose to all the baiting about MP vehicles bugs in the SDK, where they basically said "Valve could make great MP vehicles in Source, if we wanted to."

I think the hint was that as none of their current games use/need MP vehicles they naturally haven't put any effort into coding MP vehicle handling. So really, what you get is what you pay for.

Just go on the hlcoders archive and look at all the problems people have had with MP vehicles. It's not for the faint hearted.

As for tanks - well the problem with Source as it is now is that it's geared towards 2 axle car like vehicles, not bogey/multi-axle vehicles so you've got the whole issue of how to make something that moves and interacts with terrain like a tank.

Years ago I did ponder over how you could make a tank like vehicle in Source and broke it down into the steps you've need to achieve but then I started with BA Mod/HaJ and never took it any further.
