Why the hell did I never think of that! I have used that tool before too for other stuff not Halo. I could have made it a lot easier for myself.

Rofl, I read the book 3D Game Textures to gather some techniques. I can create a tutorial.

It's junk like this why I don't mess with Forerunner anymore.

Finalized the H2 elite HUD colors.



Real Halo 2.



I'll probably do the spartan HUD next, then get the ripped bitmaps in-game for both.

WHAT'S WRONG?! The actual file has no problems, I STL checked... wait, would it cause errors if there are multiple models, the bsp isn't just one big model?

If you have a world inside a world, that would happen. Like [World[MiniWorld]World]

and if you have planes with symbols added to the material name like bitmaps for lights or decals etc
then they need to be linked to the frame too.

It can if any of those separate pollies are colliding with any other pollies.

Finished up the new HUD colors and slightly modified bitmaps (including the new health meter.)

OLD


NEW

...you're not still working on that blasted H2 HUD, are you?

Seriously?

._.

Does this mean you're still producing Sandtrap, and finishing the HUD for it?

*Anger hidden in wink*

ODX, I had the same feelings when I started fixing this. I thought it was already perfect, but as I was creating the elite HUD, I noticed that there were some inconsistencies with the colors,(compare the sword icon colors) and some bitmaps could use some work like the health and shield meters which are totally new ones.

It's all done now and I can get back to tagging up all this H2 stuff.


As for Sandcrap, when Slappythepirate left CE, he kinda took the new BSP with him (same with Foundry.)
This doesn't mean the project is dead, but who's willing to fix up that BSP? I've got all the tags still.

And it will be Open Source if it were released.

Semi means somewhat or partially or half. Semi-Open Source would mean partially open source. However, it would also be partially closed source, and the source code would be closed off.

NO. It means that this thread is showing half or unfinished WORK. I probably shouldn't even explain it since you just created a account today and you already sound under par.

NO. It means that this thread isn't really official and isn't fully supported by Dennis as a sticky thread. Finished work can be posted here. This thread was just made because there were no other threads to contain the work that the OP wanted to post so he made this thread unofficially to contain miscellaneous files.

I got my gloves bitmap in-game




I tried to take screenshots that show off the back of the hand, but meh.

Because there's definitely no chance English is his second language.

Awesome!

Works more-or-less exactly like it's Halo 2 counterpart.

WIP side is more or less how it works. Requires some scripting in order to get the Sentinel to fly out so far due to collision issues. Model too is WIP. CAn't see any issues myself - figured a new pair of eyes might help.

E: Ignore those uv errors on the bsp pl0x :<

Loljesse, what happened to the radar in teh third pic?

Edited by UnevenElefant5 on Jun 20, 2012 at 07:58 PM

It's teh UVs on the arm brudda. Sux I know.

SKELETON JACK!!! Oh my gosh it's budyful. Lol, kicks the crap out of the robot FP i'm working on...

Dennis accidentally on purpose deleted the entire official wip thread, so this was made.

This. Add some kind of texture to the black and I think it would look a lot better.

I came.

Very nice job as always mister lone warrior ;)

Cool stuff waffles, and now can you make me a cubemap showing the z,-z orientation and same for x and y ?

I saw.

I conquered. Julius Caesar

That looks cool lone! Are they destructible too, like in Halo 2?

I like the creativity.... But it's just too boxy still for my liking :/. It looks like you started with an actual box and went forth from that.

Gonna make a destroyed model and add it in, don't see why it wouldn't work personally. Will probably release this and the scripts needed to use it independantly. Although, just to note, you need a custom level to use this, so you 'probably' wont' see this in many modded maps unless they make some changes to the bsp.

Chamfer the edges on those extruded, trinagular indents. That will make it better.

Step 1: Start out with a simple plane



Step 2: Add a vert to the middle of the bottom line and connect two lines from corner to corner



Step 3: Select all polygons and inset by individual polygons instead of group.



Step 4:Chamfer and line up the edges. Weld the extra verts to optimize the model.



Step 5: Extrude the polygons to create the following:
