Meh,

Read the description before watching.

Also, I know there is an ass-load of stuff to still fix/change, this map is still in early stages as far as non-bsp stuff goes. Just thought I would let people know this project is still going.

Hey it's looking good to me. I think though the turret situation there is a bit heavy though. If that was later on in the waves it may be alright. But lovin it so far

Make the sentinels your allies. It's enough already to have the Covenant to fight, but having the sentinels be THEIR allies? You've got to be kidding me.

Please, I hate those stupid little battlecry's the grunts have in your firefight and solitude, take them out. They are very annoying. If you can't replace it, then fine, whatever. But still, I'd like it if the grunts didn't do that.

Waves aren't actually set up the way they will be yet, other than the gunner grunts and tube sentinels. And yes, the gunners will be for later waves.


I was actually going to make them their enemy as well as yours. I already have ally odst packs thought up for player support.


Yeah, as I said, this is very early, and fixing the dialogue for the grunts is on my list.

it's the zoom effect for the pistol, it creates a damage effect causing them to scream. jackals do it too but it's less noticeable with them

just remove the binoculars and the damage effect

also I don't like how the loop plays to the end and then starts over, you might wanna fix that (I assume you know how to and it's on your to do list but I could do it if you don't)

The music (11 tracks in all) will actually be set up per-wave, so one song will loop for a specific wave until that wave ends or the next one starts. My previous idea of having the songs play on after another went to hell in glitches and problems.

I don;t like those flak turrets. Too loud, and shakes the screen a lot. My suggestion: Cut down the screen shake, make the impact radius smaller but do more damage. Like a cross between halo 1 and 2's turrets.

Okay good. This is what I was hoping for.

make the ally packs ride in on cmt pelicans, that way when I'm about to get screwed I can use the guns on the pelicans for combat support >:D

also nxt tim u vid turn off teh decals, itll prevent lag.

@Slappy: Will do. It's also on my list.

@Delicon: Actually I am doing that already. Lol.

Edited by MoooseGuy on Oct 11, 2010 at 05:55 PM

lol so crude.

There ARE ways to cause the grunts to not scream out in pain AND have the force zoom out damage effect, you know :P

I dont think we're thinking about the same thing. If you were to spell it out, this is what the Grunts battlecry would sound like: WOWWWWW AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!...... they run at me screaming like that without me firing a single bullet. Very annoying.

actually yeah I'm right, I removed the effect and they stopped. If what you say is true, than fix your dialog tags

also gamma feel free to enlighten me on this method of yours because you and I both know I don't know what you mean

The method he uses (and that I have already done now), is to go to the dialog tag for the grunt, then find the field for scream pain, and clear it. Easy, done. Lol.
Also, I am not finding how to get rid of camera shake. How do I do this?

I am working on using photoshop to the best of my abilities. I'm going to be editing pictures for quite a while, then i'm gonna start texturing.

Here's an example of what i've edited lately.

My red Dyno bike.
Left image is the edited one, the right one is the original.

I can tell exactly where you used the patch tool. The one where it basically copies part of the image and uses it as a brush. The wheel suddenly changes from dark grey to lighter. The seat, you can see the streaks of the tool, and the wall by the handle bars looks all blurry.

Is this supposed to be a spot the difference puzzle :O

common people! do you seriously not see it? he took out the bar between the seat and the handles.

But wait, there's more!

You're right Noble! He edited the wall and removed the red valve thingy on the wall.
Edited by Sergeant 1337 on Oct 12, 2010 at 11:06 PM

The rust from the value is still visible under the wheel. I would remove that.

Uh oh! He missed a spoke in the tire!

Tried to make what wasn't there on the left crank arm.

I wanna start texturizering, but i'm a long way off. I really only used stamp tool and pen tool.

I'm not too much of a photoshop guy, i may make kick ass huds, but i'm not too good with a real practical use. You can still see the ghosts of some spokes, but this was due to lazyness.

You killed teh Valve omg.

starting with basic photo editing... your a long way from your goal.

and dont do photo manipulation, thats really lame to start off with (no offense), do graphics (a.k.a GFX).

its a much better way to start.

texturing is easy... that's a lie

What has making a bike weak and look like crap got to do with Halo? All you did was use on little tool to remove something... no skills there.

Do you have a mental condition or something which makes you an insufferable ass?

I mean really, it can't be on purpose.

^ this

I'm pretty sure my opinion really won't matter much at all because I don't use photoshop, but to the average person, this actually looks pretty convincing.

So stating the truth means being an ass? What I said was all true. Oh wai - I didin't add sweats.

Jesse nice job, i couldn't do that if i tried.

You are being an ass the way you're bringing it up. You offer no constructive criticism, no tips, no nothing except for calling his work 'crap' and telling him that he has 'no skills'.

If that doesn't convince you, should I go through about 3 pages of threads where in almost every one of them, you've demonstrated yourself to be a complete jerk? It wouldn't matter anyway, because you would completely look over it and respond with something like:



and come back with your childish retorts anyway.

You know anonymous, saying that to jesse... what do you expect to come out of that comment?

Do you think he's going to say, " Thanks for the criticism hunter! I'm gonna try to make this not suck even though it looks pretty good already!"

Nothing's good enough for you is it?
