You do realise that arguement died out about halfway down the last page?

I played the beta and damn, it is amazing compared to any other mongoose I have ever tried.... Just give it some time. :p

(EDIT: and it actually plays just like its supposed to with out flipping every 5 sec :|)

And, pray tell, what vehicles do you have that are so amazing that you had to "stop" an argument that already had died?

Small bitmap tweeks and shader overhauls.

Ghost: Some edits to diffuse and multi and some new shader values








Banshee: Disasters skin, edited diffuse to make it darker and more sharp, shaders by Veex, and edited multi

Thats some pretty good stuff Hdoan! :D

First I believe it was Zteam, CMT, and now H3T! :D

ftfy

I spy with my wittle eye, a flood juggernaut in the corner :p

You spy too much.

Its not a juggernaught, its a flood tank form.

Check his xfire screenshots. It's a Juggernaut.

And it's a flood juggernaut.

Maybe not to you Plague :|

The banshee looks nice. Though I don't really like the green on the front though, I think it needs to fade a little bit more, with a larger radius. To me it just looks more like a stain than an underlying sheen like it should be.

..how about this?

-needs more contrast on the multimap, the lines and whatnot are not defined enough
-make those little silver details black on the multimap

sorry to say but, that looks horrible arfter looking at what hdoan did

We used the same texture, you know that right? I just edited it a bit

Cant the green be a cubemap? Or make the the top part of the hatch a separate shader to simulate the effect more.

I remember that I attemped a green cubemap, and it looked absolutely horrid. Also, only making the hatch with a green cubemap would still not look good.

use a white cubemap and just change the perpendicular and parallel color properties for it in guerilla. that's what I did for my banshee.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what I did.

Is that a missile pod HDoan?

(bottom pic)

ya dood, its the missile pod hunter modeled.

Don't start with that again >_<

what made you think that was a good idea?

I'm redoing my banshee when I get the chance. The uvws on the h1 banshee suck :(

Out of curiosity, is anyone working on a H3 version of the scorpion. That is the vehicle i would really like to see. The banshee really didn't change all that much over the years.

No, because you can't have more than 1 turret on a vehicle, so the h3 scorpion would need to have 1 vehicle for the driver with all the passenger seats, and another vehicle attached using object_attach that is just a turret.

ok so iv never really understood this: if the driver has a gun under his control, there cannot be a separate dedicated gunner seat? craziness.

Are you serious! Halo 1's engine can't even handle that!?
Wait a sec. Yes it can. The longsword has 2 gunner seats doesn't it. 1 for main driver/gunner and one for an additional gunner. If i am correct, it should work.
Edited by eliteslasher on May 12, 2009 at 12:26 AM

yeah, and you could have a script that knocks the driver into a driver-only seat when a gunner gets in. but the driver-only seat is invisible, and the gunner-seat is only applicable with a driver

Um, no, that will make it lag, since both the pilot and copilot have control over the weapons on the vehicle. And if you do that to the scorpion, then the main driver that controls the cannon wont be able to shoot.

No, because if the gunner gets into the longsword, the driver can't shoot anymore.
That is because of the flag in the longsword "gunner". However, the game which, understands that that can't be two gunners cause of the engine disallows the driver to be the gunner when one coldsnap dude goes inside the gunner seat.
EDIT: ... Advancebo beat me

Well, if we can't get a scorpion, someone needs to try and make this.

This is from Halo Wars, and i must say it is awesome.

It's being made for a custom single player map.
