Especially when 90% of our members port :p.

I wish OS was pirate friendly but hey, we can't have it all can we?

And people are son confused as to why i'm against it...

I don't see anything wrong with that 90%.

Of the registered users on right now, at least 50% of them make/have made custom content.

I don't think I'm part of that 50%.

What is this porting you speak of.

You have come a long way good sir. Wasn't too long ago that I was saying the same thing to you xD

Other video game models and textures being put into halo custom edition.

i personally think porting is a good way for someone to practice their skills of rigging, animating, exporting, etc before they go on to make custom objects. i plan to do custom tags later on but it would speed the process of putting it in game if i already had some experience of setting up a vehicle, weapon, or biped for export, so to get that experience i am porting vehicles to practice.

i really don't understand why people are arguing over this so much. its just a simple personal preference and if you don't like it then B!@#$ about it to yourself, why argue.

oh and about that 90 percent some people may not want to spen the time to learn how to model

Here's my two cents on the subject. I don't have a problem with ports, sometimes I port stuff as well. I also don't have any issues with people like waffles who port stuff for fun or request. I do however have a problem with people who try to show off by porting, pretending that the ability to put a ripped model into a game somehow makes them better than everyone else.

While I do agree that porting sometimes makes people not want to put any effort into custom models, that's not as big of a problem as long as they are willing to learn something such as animation.

That's all I have to say about that.

I only show off, to ask people how i can make the shaders better and stuff like that
I do make custom stuff sometimes.

I finished some waypoint bitmaps.






Also, L28, your stuff looks pretty cool.

Sandtrap is an old map now anyways. I would love to see a Halo 4 map recreated when the time comes. Reach isn't worth a mention.

Very nice dude.

In that case, great job to the both of you.

Actually the bitmaps were made by Chocolate Thunda, MooseGuy just used them in his map (which is what they were made for anyway).

Still, it looks great L28!

Let's just say its a collaboration between the 3 of us. I submitted design/layout parameters to L28. He then created the main ingame menu from this. The base button design and weapon icons are from Choco Thunda from Firefight Descent. I took those and repurposed them for this menu, fashioning the item buttons. I got the menu-related bitmaps (dialog box, arrows, etc) and redid them, making the dialog box and other buttons compliment eachother. Thunda is going to work on making the missing item icons I need to create the rest of the buttons.

All of these efforts are combining to form what you will be seeing. The best things come through working together.

The only thing I'm going to repurpose is my foot up your -blam!-!!! just kidding moose :P. Oh btw way guys, since I'm pretty much done on the CMT HUD, I've begun work on the reach HUD again, expect pictures very soon. (this weekend)

Preview of the armor ability icons I made (ingame):

I got to work on an OS version of my HUD. Apparently the widescreen fix shows more than intended, so I had to re-do the visor to compensate.

Before: (ignore the white lines, those are a test to see if it even worked)

After:

Jood job jesse and choclate thunda!

I wish Open Sauce didn't have to screw with the Field of View. It creates all sorts of oddities.

You can always return the FOV back to original halo.

One of the things that always bugged me is the visor cutoff. Looking good Jesse!
Edited by Spartan314 on Sep 7, 2012 at 11:07 PM

All icons done and in game

It doesn't by default. o.O

That's up to players. So what you should really have said is that you wish players(Like me, muahahaha) wouldn't mess with the Field of View. :/

However jesse, why does the bottom part of the visor slant down from the sides?

OS stretches it.

Umm, no.. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

I was asking jesse why he made the sides of the visor slant down when going more horizontally would look a bit better and more fitting for the mark vi helmet.

More Reach HUD stuff:

It's because the Halo 3 visor is already bent in that direction on the bottom, I just extended it by continuing the line as if it were never interrupted.

I'm also re-doing some of the elite bitmaps, but fortunately Halo 3 uses the same ones for most things (except visor, shields and grenades).
