I see, my bad then. To me, I prefer sounds from games after halo 1. Hard to explain but there's personal preferences for me that the melee hit sounds (not actual melee) on flesh parts can sound a little weird, as if you were smacking some jelly that explodes.

FTFY

so..... i can nao has a human pistawl dat shoots like joker's gun or plasma pistawl dat exceptions when i fire it????

They just don't sound as enticing or aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. They're good, but considering Bungie used the new new sounds for 2 games in a row (h2 & h3), It makes it feel more like halo should.

and to clarify, I mean the sounds of the impacts on evironmental objects, such as metal, dirt sand, and the footsteps on different environments. The weapon swinging sounds are fine, in case that's what anyone thought I meant.

Are you guys going to redesign the spartan...? -_- If so, may i design it? If not, can i try to change your minds with some of my designs?

why would they redesign that amazing spartan?

if it ain't broke, don't replace it

It's old and out of place.In my opinion,it WAS an amazing biped back in it's day.Every previous CMT SP had a new Spartan biped,so I think it would only be appropriate to change it again.

I'm a fan of the design, but it needs to be overhauled. It was never designed to be used with normal maps and specular.

So may i? :D

Might as well, eh?

No one's really stopping you...

If you want to go for it, but Dano is probably going to refurbish it as he sees fit.

Also the Pre-Art RC build of A10 is going out to testers this weekend (and no you may not test, we have testers already). This is the final build before the art teams do their pass through it, then, we start testing a build which is representative of what we want to release.

Edit: Actually if there's anyone who really wants to help, we'd like you to go back and play A50, give us a little retrospective review of your likes, don't likes, and any criticism. Focus on gameplay and the level, try to leave graphics and art out of the review, we know they're awesome.

I can't wait...

in the level with the inviselites the marines just watched their comrades erupt in blood, until they were struck down themselves. perhaps make it so that the marines know that something is wrong when one of their comrades dies for seemingly no reason.

I may have to consider getting a new computer for the project's release. I've only had this one for a month or two. Meh, eBay here I come!

I had a perfectly good gaming rig that handled SPV3 like it was nothing, but then my 9 year old little brother took it from me, to make this:

He has an obsession with minecraft...

And now everytime i try to use my gaming rig, i find him on it the second i go to it... When i ask him to get off because i need it(my gaming rig), i feel like a big jerk(because he's 9). So now i am stuck trying to salvage enough money to find a fairly good laptop.... And that's my sad tale of whoa.

tell him minecraft sucks and that he should get animal crossing wii
it will incapacitate him for YEARS

You're one awesome older brother. When I was 9, my brothers would fight their way to the computer, even though they're both over 5 years older than me.

Once you get past the pixelated graphics, minecraft is a deep, rich, awesome game. You eventually even start liking the colorful graphics.

That said, imo as older brother you should claim what is yours. As young cub, your lil bro must learn that things are not just handed to him, he must earn things.

Yeah that is true. However, the Holidays are almost around the corner and i think he's going to get his own computer.....

An excellent description.

Could do with some screenshots of the mod's progress, just sayin.

A little vid of what is in store for our revised A10 (POA) in SPV3. Thanks to Shadowspartan for these new OS functions, Kirby for some super cool streamlined scripts, Xal for the cool sounds (our Uncle Spot character as we like to call him), and me for well.... the idea? As of this morning, this was almost cut from the mod, but some quick thinking saved it.

What it basically lets us do is switch lightmaps whenever we want, changing the lighting. We can use this to make the lights flicker, or change the time of day in a much cleaner way than you saw in our MP maps.

Please note the level has yet to get a visual overhaul.

Also 3 views on youtube in under 30 seconds..... not bad.

Neat.

The lighting could also have easily been done with a dynamic light tag (Sunny Sharma did this before), although it probably wouldn't have looked quite as nice as lightmaps do.

Uncle Spot... I hope you don't call him that in the final build.. XD

when i watched that sneak peek, my head literally went "Warning, Extensive DAMAGE..."

that was really awesome. makes me think there will be an encounter with a gravemind and all that shtuff.

Any new or revised BSPs in a10?

@Lodeman: Yep, three new areas, and one takes advantage of our new dynamic sky system so we can fine tune the amount of fog in the room as it's destroyed.

@Private Caboose: B30 is all new geometry, so yes.

@Higuy: This is totally different, this enables us to have lights flicker anywhere on the ship at any time, not just specific places. Also you wouldn't be able to have a dynamic light make everything dark. Unless you dynamicly lit the entire level and then erased lights.. but that would present a whole other boatload of problems.

Will the three new areas be replacing older areas, or adding onto what already exists?
Don't make the mistake of making levels too long such as with SPv2's a30 *shrug*

Yeah no 3-5 hour long missions this time around... The 3 new areas replace 2 older ones, and 2 other older ones have been removed as well.

i like long levels :)

Well A10 takes me 20 minutes to beat on Heroic on Xbox, it takes me about 50 on SPV3. I do know everything in the map though, I'd say it's about an hour and 10 minutes long for the average person.

It was a joke, you regularly put things like "FAP FAP FAP" on something that you like.
Sorry if it offended you.

any updates?

@Arbiter: Nope, spent the last 4 days fighting an exception error. You'll be able to find the script when you play the map. I'm putting it on a pike for all the world to see. Like in the good ole mid-evil days.

@vampire girl: We have numerous shakes and rumbles for the ship, some will be bigger than others.
