You guys missed the point entirely. This wasn't a "rips r bad" statement. It was geared toward the fact that we very rarely see some custom work in here anymore. Even if you're just copying halo at least its custom work (maybe not design) and its better practice for you. Still I find it fine for animating though, better to practice on a completed work then have to go through the whole modeling process if you just wanna animate.

Took me a bit, but I see them. Also, the way the magazine (snappy and too much at an angle) is put into the pistol seems a bit strange IMO.

It may not have been the main point, but the post did take a bit of jab at rippers.

As for the main point, I've already explained, the game is old, the engine is outdated and clunky, less than 100 people playing at a time, half of them running a devmode deathless/RP/stunt server, and there's many better options for serious 3D artists as far as game engines go.

meh, yeah.

Maybe we should have two different threads or something? It's not that I don't like rips, it's just I don't want to see them all the damn time.

Anybody did a teargas grenade yet? dunno that much about making weapons, but if you could get it to spawn a biped that spawns mist that slows people down and causes them to have the white screen effect....

something like that? how does water slow vehicles down, and can you apply it to weaponry to make weapons slow people/vehicles down?

You could add stun like from the Plasma Rifle and a white screen effect but idk if anyone's taken the time to do it yet



It'd be better if people wouldn't stop quoting the same damn image every five posts

Tell you what Spartan, you can go and die. All you do is rip, and even show them off in your sig. I don't really give a crap by the fact that people rip anymore. Can't be arsed with that.

Its the fact that its ALL you do. Like, I wouldn't really be too bothered if people ripped AND made custom models. But half the community JUST rip alone.

Its lazy and pointless. And I did not mean PROPER professional artists. I am basically talking about 3d modelers in general. And why do you keep using the age of the engine as an excuse. Because its a stupid excuse, because this thread isnt JUST for work in progress of models and assests going ingame. Its for work in progress of 3d models and stuff as well.

Because 3D artists have no reason to randomly join a forum focused specifically on Halo Custom Edition if they don't make mods and content for the engine

hunter you seriously need to chill the hell out. i dont think ripping warrants telling people to go die

random knife i made during class, was bored so ya, anyone want it?

At least I actually modeled back then. But you have yet to model something. Ever since you got your hands on those rips. I'm talking about effort. But you don't like effort because "its just a game lol" is your usual excuse. That or "Its just pixels lol."

Hell you couldn't even get the normal maps right. Because it was too much effort for you to handle. You eve admitted to doing fake bumping wrong because you said "I don't want to" when there was a perfectly good way to do it, you continued to just overlay(or multiply) your desaturated normal maps right over the diffuse.

I still don't understand how I, AND Dee are on high horse... quit saying it, you are using it wrong... tard.

And no, I wasn't harsh due to the fact certain words get blocked on these forums.

And Why would I want to go to some "high poly" forums? Why don't you go to some "Ripping forums". Eh?
Wait, too much effort to register.

And I couldn't give a crap with how much time it takes to rig and animated ect. A lot of people are still sick of seeing loads of RIPS in this WIP thread. And you are still giving the stupid excuse of "oh, its a crappy 9 year old engine".

Why don't you gtfo, and make a thread for "Dirty RIPS (Taking from games because I am too lazy and want to be noticed by everyone) - Work In Progress".

I like how he said I was flaunting my rips when he is doing himself. You even went as far as putting them in your sig. You really have no excuse to not taking the effort to make models your self instead of playing around with someone's work. Hell that little "high poly forums" stunt you tried with hunter shows how much you know about modeling as a skill. Show us something new and don't just show us how you can rip from a game because that does NOT show us you making anything for us to crit on. By posting rips, we can't crit on anything but shaders since that is all I have seen you do with them. But even so, you use that horrible method of fake bumping of yours. I'll say it again, you have no excuse to not be able to model something of your own. Gtfo my screen.

But Hunter, you are over reacting a bit.

How immature.
Everything we prove him wrong he suddenly posts like he is on /b/.


So if someone does something for even a little bit, then that it instantly their profession?
A guy that steps on an ant in the sidewalk is INSTANTLY a FULL FLEDGED ANIMAL CRUELEST!

We proved you wrong, we know that at this point. But you just continue to troll now after the post you just made using the most generic sayings that a 12 year old would use. You completely disregarded the points I made and just said "cool story bro" to attempt to null everything. You are now a hybrid of beachpartyclan and Kidd(from early 2008). Go back to 4chan.
In b4 attempting to be funny in retaliation.

Wow, you're all overreacting and acting stupid at that. WHO SHOULD CARE? WHY CARE? When did this become a contest? Why should it matter to any of you who makes stuff and who rips? I play the game because it's fun and I enjoy it as a past time, but the way you all treat this is like the ripper is a criminal and the modeler (which also uses an illegally downloaded software 90% of the time) is a freaking saint. Knock it off, this is no place for it and frankly it's beginning to annoy the hell out of me.

@Geared: the knife looks pretty good, although the material and junk for the handle look a bit odd for a knife handle. think of the grip on a tennis racket if you don't want to look at a standard knife for a good idea for a grip. You could also just look at a few HiDef pics of knives on the internet for a good idea of what a handle is like. Other than that, I'd dirty the gold a bit and then it'd look superb.

If all of you truly were as mature as you say you are you wouldn't be arguing over something as stupid as this. Really? I know your a talented modeler hunter, there's no denying that, but I cannot take you seriously when you start telling people to kill themselves because they are doing what they enjoy.

Come on guys, is it so hard to look at a picture without starting a huge argument over it?

With the way you act, telling people to go die if they disagree with you, telling them you don't give a crap about their opinions, you're not going to convince people to not rip. You're more likely to encourage people to rip just so they can get a rise out of you! You need to freaking chill. Have a seat, watch some TV, read a book, smoke some pot, inject some heroin I don't care how you do it, but you need to CHILL.

Felt I should point out a few things. I'm leaving my argument with you at this. Done with this debate.

so spartan, all he can do is whine at you. what happens if nobody responds to him at all?
just keep doing what you like to do and ignore the haters.

I like how my question about a new type of grenade and possible statis effect that might be able to be applied to existing weapons got ignored under the huge pile of ranting about ripping and people's butthurts.

Here's a good thinking question for you, Hunter and DEE:


Is anything Spartan doing affecting you personally, or interfering with your skills?

I don't really think so, just try not to let it bother you then. Simple as that, go on with your own work and develop that, rather than ranting on forums about an old game, which no one really develops their content for the community anymore, but rather for their own fun. (Which, isn't exactly wrong, but flaunting it around is a definite NO)

I don't recall that being against the rules of these forums

did I miss something?

ODX get on xfire.

It's not, but it is being an ass, as you are pretty much showing off work that is (to an extent) very well done, but because you are not releasing it, that's called bragging which is commonly frowned upon.
Edited by ODX on Jan 6, 2010 at 06:34 PM

Yeah, I do have to agree that showing stuff off and then not releasing is kind of ehhhh..

I always try to see my projects through, personally. If anyone ever requests my stuff, I'm always willing to give it out.

Ill put this here cause no one looks at the HUD thread ._.

QFT. Seriously, is it worth wasting Dennis's bandwidth over?

You dont need to update every little thing you do, thats what twitter is for.

Also, people look at the thread, just no one cares enough to post.

I could easily put work into halo CE. However, I have a job and my future to focus on. When ever I get time to make a halo map, I will. Halo was the game that got me going in the direction I am and I want to give back to the community that helped me so much along the way. The only thing preventing me at the moment is future opportunities to progress in my trade.

Hey guyz. This thread is about weapons no? I know abusing people who rip stuff and abusing people who abuse people who rip stuff is slightly related to making weapons, but I really think this thread would be better spent if it was JUST on weapons, question directly related to those weapons, and weapon requests.

Some people DONT want to hear your complaints or aurguments, regardless of how enticing they may seem to you. Why don't you just keep it to PMs or chat of xfire? No use making the rest of us wade through the posts we don't want to read. And you'll still get to troll/rage/argue/reason/whatever-you-want-to-call-it with your peers.

Please be considerate to your fellow forum users....

Blah, I'm getting tired of this:

You forgot about the knob.

The return to the origins seems a tad... harsh

Return to origin is great. The only thing I don't like about it is that during the exaggerated pause, where your left hand rests on the magazine, the gun doesn't move at all. Add a small amount of movement, and see how that looks.

I dislike who hard he grips the the clip to get it out.
