Awesome!

player_magnetism 1 works for me as well, and it didn't even require OS!!!!
I just use a standard xbox 360 wired controller that works on PC as well. Feels just like playing on xbox now with the working magnetism.

Something tells me Kirby found this hidden command?

Edit: also, do you think there's a command to enable rumble on the controller as well? That would really complete the experience.

It also works with joysticks. (Yes I have played with a joystick)

Also if you can find a way to script an "aimbot" type thing for extras that would be funny.

E: I dunno why that always happens when quoteing you...

That's not the same, magnetism sticks to enemies once your reticle turns red, Xpadder cannot detect this in any way.

I have a wired xbox controller that works with halo fine (no joy2key or anything). I've always been worse with the controller than with the mouse+kb but with magnetism I would probably use it in sp. Please enable vibration!

no. magnetism has nothing to do with the red reticule. auto-aim is the red reticule, magnetism is the player's look view moving with enemies. they are separate values.

the magnetism in ce seems to only occur if there's look input from the controller, I.E. walking around and not touching the look thumb stick won't give you magnetism. it's a bit disorienting.

That's exactly what I said.

uh,

So we can expect awesome flood?

Yes.

I'm excited to see the new elites, grunts and cyborgs, that is, if they will be upgraded alongside the rest of the game graphics

Cyborgs and Elites are being updated currently as seen by multiple videos that show other assets in their updates.

But unfortunatly from what I've seen from the Cyborg and Elite they have just had a simple retexture it's nothing great compared to the jackals skin I really hope it's just a simple place holder I don't care if they don't do anything with the Cyborg because there's nothing amazing texture wise you could do with his armour but I really hope they make the Elite textures the same quality compared to the Jackals skin.

I saw the new shield hit effects. i thought that the bipeds in that video were just place holders...Maybe that's my bad... i still hope that the elites get a bran, spankin', new model, like the pimped jackals.

The elites have the new model and textures we did for SPV2. They have some sexy new shaders, but as far as any significant overhauls for them... there are many other things that need a higher priority.

Yeah i understand. I just still think it would be awesome if for the new campaign there would be all new model for every character

Oh, question. did it require scripting for the hunter shielding behavior?
Edited by grunt_eater on Nov 14, 2011 at 05:57 PM

The elite model is a new model. It's just two years old new.

And Hunter's are all tagged based.
Edited by Masters1337 on Nov 14, 2011 at 08:41 PM

Is that like a "Brand new Used car"?

Sweet, so it didn't take scripting to make them shield...i'm guessing it's animation based then. i'm asking because i'm wanting to make something similar to it, only with a different race.

I explained how I set them up in the first video showing them off:



(There are flags/properties in actor tags that do both of those things)

Oh, i'm sorry, i missed that the first time around. Thank you for reposting it for unobservant little me :P.


Oh. what about new marines? sorry if i'm asking for another redundant post.

A comparison of the jackals between Halo Reach and CMT's version. Please note that I got the Reach jackal quickly off google so it's not amazing quality. Also, if anybody has CEA and can get a picture of the CEA jackals, that'd be much better ;)

I less then three CMT's Jackals.

FYI, Those aren't jackals, they're skirmishers. Jackals in reach look like this:

Thanks for the correction, :)

Imo, CMT jackals look much nicer than both Reach jackals and Reach skirmishers.

Stop killing kittens...

Why? My pet CMT jackals are hungry...

Is that picture bloomed? or does open sauce have/use bloom?

Yes.

open sauce uses it or just the picture?

Yes.
Edited by Skidrow925 on Nov 15, 2011 at 07:43 PM

Answer one of the questions with a yes/no not both at once, i can't tell witch one you're answering. I'm guessing that it's open sauce, though.

OS has bloom, but it's not active in that picture.

Looking at the shields on the jackals and the reflections on everything, it looks bloomed to me :P.

The Vampire is right about light.

I know that, but bloom changes the way light effects it surroundings in video games. It smears it off a little bit making a 3-D glow
