Announcement Silent Hill (FULL CONVERSION)

**NadTheBat** · 09-02-2011, 04:45 AM

This will be my second custom story. Now, I know my first one still isn't finished, but believe me when I say that it WILL be finished. I am going to be working on both of these at the same time. Also, this time around I am relying less on scares and more on story telling. I will also try to use less of the same type of scares this time. (Even though the kind I use are some of the scariest, you'll eventually come to expect it.)

Pretty much every single texture in this story is going to be custom. The bad thing about this: extremely large file sizes. I have roughly 15 textures as of now, and already the un-extracted file size is nearing 300MB. I imagine when the story is finished it will be well over 2GB.

I am also requesting help from a few people. I need two or three people to help me make and/or find textures to use for the story. I also need someone who is a good modeller, and someone who knows how to put custom models into Amnesia (if you're good at both of these then that's even better.) If anyone is interested or willing to help me please PM me.

UPDATE: Took some screenshots, here they are:

Well, it'll only be that big because of the sheer number of textures I need. No worries though, compressed it should only be 400-500MB.

so are you just gonna re-create silent hill in amnesia?

**Tenno** · 09-02-2011, 07:33 AM

This sounds like quite the undertaking, good luck with it, post screens ASAP please Smile

It's more like a silent hill theme. It'll have things like the hospital and the creepy streets of the first two games. but it's not going to be an exact replica (It might be if I can find a very detailed map of it). The story will also be loosely related to one of the games, most likely SH1 or 2.

I'll have screens up within the next day or two. Nothing major though, just textures most likely, because I don't even have enough textures to even begin working on anything.

I have a friend who will LOVE you to pieces if you do this. XDD I affectionately call him "malo" for a reason. *giggles*

So another modern full conversion mod after White Night and Envy the Dead? Interesting. It's a lot of work Nad, and sometimes tirring because of all the conversions and stuff like that. It should not be that big. Amnesia itself is 2GB. Until now, EtD is around 180MB and believe me it has many custom textures, skyboxes, models etc...

Agree. I am thinking of the performance issues you will face. Other than that - great that you are undertaking such a large/qualitative project.
