ESF to Xbox 360 & as a standalone game

Hi all fans of ESF I am patr0805 and is now developing ESF to xbox 360 & windows as a game for itself. I couldn't contact the developers of ESF because there isent a email adress, so the only way I can contact them is by making this threat, so I hope you see this.

Here is a screenshot of the main screen on the xbox 360 & windows:

answer

I told that it is going to be a xbox 360 game and a windows game for itself without need for halflive

XBOX 360 game = gamepad , unless there's a supported mouse and keyboard thingy for it.
Anyway, i don't think you are gonna get permission(might have a better chance if you use another name)

so I don't get it you want to make a xbox 360 game ? and will it be free ?

Its options, not optiens.

I'll just say this..

I've used my xbox360 controller on the current ESF for pc.. and erm I must say it DEFINATLY IS NOT THE SAME.....

U turn slow, aiming beams are much harder ect ect ect.. xbox360 gameplayspeed willbe at least 300% slower and more difficult

It will only work with an auto aim system

>.< autoaim in multiplayer=phail

I call bs. A DBZ image with the letters "Earth's Special Forces" on it as well as a 360 logo is hardly proof. I sincerely doubt you can port ESF without the source code and an xbox developers kit.

yeah, making it a pc standalone game might work, but 3th Person Shooter (and esf is a really fast one) on consoles Su***.

No, you still need the source code for ESF in order to make it standalone.

you know if you tryed to licence this certain company would be all over you mister "i am making a 360 game". i would be the one tiping them off

answer

The reason to that it will work on a xbox 360 is simple. The program I am using builds a windows application & a xbox 360 application and I dont need source code because I am just making it exactly like the mod look in half live. I agree with a license from ESF but it is imposible to contact them, but I dont need a license from half live because my standalone exe dont have anything to do with half live.

It is "Half-Life". So what you are saying, you wish to completely copy the game?

answer

Since nobody wants it as a game instead of a mod I just develope it myself and keeping it myself.

WRONG.
ESF is a Half Life modification. Meaning if you want it to run you have to recreate Half Life.

That would get you in trouble with Valve.

answer

You are wrong. I am not trying to make a program to run the ESF folder I am make the ESF mod as a game instead of a mod

But thats just the irony. ESF is only a mod built on the Half Life SDK. It has no engine of itself thats why it needs the GoldSRC engine. In other words the engine that Half Life is built on.

So you are left with 2 choices:
- hack Half Life and get the engine out of it
- make a new engine from scratch that has the same file handling as Half Life

The first would defenitly get you in trouble with Valve. the second may do so but isnt necesairy. But what ever the result. ESF is not playable on a gamepad controller. You need a mouse or you will be taken apart.
