Tone down teh recoil!

You should probably make a new thread for these. But my advice would be to slow down the recovery from the shots and separate the back and up (I know you have it going down, but it should be going up) so that the up comes at the end of the recoil/beginning of the recovery.

I haven't checked if the current CMT biped has PP animations... I'll check when I get home. Anyway, why are you making those? We have teh lag for 3p animations. Try showing something a little more significant than a firing animation, see how you do.

lol I love having my bloom set to 5 and my motion blur set to 2

I really like OS bloom. It has way more quality than ENB Series, but it sucks when it comes to adapting/fading. You can't play a day-time and icy map with the same bloom config you use in a night time map...

and fov to 160° for a 100% MLG exprience!

tihs is real MLG qualty!!

Dang, that pic is old.

Anyway, I'd love to show some screenshots of the new AR, but I don't think I'm authorized to, which is a shame since the AR looks kick ass.

obviously a troll

Haven't we seen it already, in some form or another?

I wish, but its gonna lag without a good power source. that's why its always good to do this at motion blur at 1000000 and bloom at 1000 flat

Yeah, If I had the modeling skills I have now back when I was making Foundry, it would be twice as good looking.

I hope that The Pit sets an even higher standard, and I've yet to see any H3 maps come anywhere near Foundry in terms of quality.

CMT is chugging along.

that's what I'm thinking?

*flashback*

a map much better looks like Anniversary and interior more futuristic ?

So I realize it’s been quite some time since we’ve talked about SPV3 in public, and while I don’t have anything quite yet to show, I figure you all deserve an update on where things stand since our showing at CE3. If you haven’t been following the past several months, heres the highlights of what’s been going on.

1. B40 (AOTCR) will be featured in our first set of maps we release, alongside A10, A30, A50 (re-release) and SPV3 edition of B30:E..

2. There will be armor abilities like Halo Reach and Halo 4. We have currently announced that Sprint, Health Regen, Active Camo, VISR, Flashlight will all be available in the first half of campaign.

3. The weekly vidoc series was put on hold due to my main computer crapping out. Now that I have a new computer, we hope to resume those in coming weeks.

4. In released videos, some grunts held a carbine like weapon. This was our carbine based boltshot, but it has since been removed from the mod and will not be returning for multiple reasons.

5. At CE3 we also announced two new Covenant carbine class weapons. The first is the Particle Carbine, which functions much like the H4 Carbine, but fires beam rifle like shots rather than physical rounds. It also has a heat meter, like most other covenant weapons. The second is the Focus Carbine, which resembles the Focus Rifle from Reach. It has to focus it’s beam when fired, and is more effective vs shields than flesh, making it a useful long range shield stripping weapon.

6. We have Skirmishers.

7. We have a working mantis prototype.

So what actual new news do I bring to you? Well, I figure it be best to recap what’s going on with each level so far.

A10 (POA): This level has become quite the thorn in our side. This and T&R are the only levels that are built off of their SPV2 maps, which you can imagine has led to some problems. In SPV2’s public beta, we included several new BSPS, NA-NL. Most of these as you know, were BORING. So here is where the level stands. BSPs, NB, NI, NK, and NL have all been removed and replaced. NB and NI have gained new areas built from Mousetrap, which was a POA styled remake built by Arteen. NK and NL have been removed, and will be replaced by the Engine room from The Maw. BSPs NE, NF, NG, and NH are completely removed. Lastly, BSP ND, which was the second Boarding Action room, has been revised and edited.

A30 (Halo): We spoke a lot about this map when we announced SPV3, and the “Alpha Base” area has undergone several changes since then. We also have added a second new BSP, which has some cool alpine combat, and plays out like a mini version of the last section of A30, where you can take several paths to save some marines who have been taken prisoners by the Brutes. We’ve added a fair amount of vehicle combat to it, as well as some longer range combat with our new covenant carbine weapons, in addition to the Skirmishers from Halo Reach. And yes, they do know how to jump up onto the towers.

A50 (Truth and Reconciliation): The public release was quite… disappointing to say the least, with very few changes in combat compared to the SPV2 version or even stock. This level now contains several AA’s, allowing you to tackle encounters differently than you ever have before using Sprint and Active Camo, which are actually usable since we’ve brightened the level to the point where VISR is no longer a requirement. We’ve also done some work to improve performance in the exterior, although we’ve yet to get it back to the performance the stock level had. The level is planned to feature the Mantis in an all new fight at the gravity life, as well as our long range Jackal variants so the Covenant can finally counter your Sniper Rifle. It is also the first level to feature our 4 preset Loadouts, which will let you approach the level differently on subsequent play throughs.

B40 (AOTCR): Still early in development, we plan to keep the most interesting BSPs from SPV2. We actually hit a limit in the SPV2 version where we had more than 1024 AI squads… oops! So things have to be toned down here again. In addition to new exterior locations.. we are looking into replacing some of the copy and pasted rooms bungie did in the original. Lastly, we have made the last elevator rooms optional, and have given the player an alternate path down to the control room if they do not hijack the banshee’s on the bridge. These rooms may simply be removed if we find we need the squad space in the map. In the event the player does take a banshee, we have scripted extra events to happen so that the enemies on the pyramid do spawn.

So that’s all we have to say on SPV3 at the moment, but I do hope to get you some pictures and videos of content soon! I know people have been wanting DMR, AR, and Brute vidocs, so those are all up next on the list!

if you are gonna make a sound for the carbines or weapons, please don't use the h4 guns in your audio mix, and the carbine from h3 sounded strong, keep that in consideration

Most of their sounds come from other sources, to say the least.

now I can die happy....




Wait... no..


I can not because I want to play it
Edited by UHWArby on Nov 15, 2013 at 01:50 PM

Did you really have to quote the whole thing? :\

No.

some of them anyways, ive notice the plasma rifle is a mix of h1/h2 prs, and the ar is the reach sound. but im sure those are "placeholders" lol I like my guns sounding like they are very very painful pounders

Thats what makes an awesome gun...LOL

That is why NOTHING sounds beefier than the BIZ-2 from Syphon Filter 2. Just listen to it!

masters has pretty much stated that he doesn't mind sounds that fill the job, but don't go above and beyond, he seems to find around an 8/10 for quality of awesomeness to be acceptable. i'd absolutely kill to get some more punchy sounds, but maybe if we get enough people to agree, it could happen. (personally i'd love to see similar the the saints row the third mcmanus 2015 for the suppressed sniper, or a nice sizzle sound on plasma, or even a nice set of melee sounds)

I've told you several times if you have suggestions for sounds you should PM me them, and I can take a look. I have nothing "against" reviewing better sounds, but none of us have the time to try to satisfy your subjective needs when we have other things to do.



Syphon Filter 2 is one of the best games of all time, I have it on my PS3 but am still trying to rebeat the first one... can't say it's aged well.
Edited by Masters1337 on Nov 15, 2013 at 09:10 PM

Yay, other people like Syphon filter (and know about it)!! I had Syphon filter 2, OMEGA STRAIN, Combat Ops and Logan's shadow.

Also, CMT is the means by which Spv3 is revealed. Only through a waved release can one not drown in the Opensauce. CMT is the means by which spv3 is revealed. Tags from Spv2 will be ported over to Spv3 because that's just how we do what we do. CMT is the means by which spv3 is revealed. Good graphics, good optimization and complex scripting is key to user satisfaction, yes, CMT is the means by which all is revealed. Your skepticism of Opensauce falls on deaf ears.

So...how is.. TSC:E coming along..?...
ahem..
*Crawls back into dark corner*

TSC:E is coming along just fine, thanks for asking.

Any specifics? :3

Nope, sorry.

Edit: I am actually authorized to say that it is going "well" and "nicely".

Good to hear.

you should make a slender gun XD
