take ur time guys ul do great things

and like usual keep up the good work

Will the release be within the... oh, we already covered this... so, how is everyone?

I said we already covered the topic, but I didn't say we got an answer. :P

If someone can find out how to remap the ~ key in bootcamp, I will certainly be putting a video out this weekend. That is the only thing holding me back from making videos.

I'm a Noob when it comes to bootcamp, but I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5618437
Hope it helps.

EWWW APPLE! but yea that should work, keep commenting everyone! im almost at page 200 of 173. lol glitch to the extreme

Hey, if you guys thought YOU had problems... Patrick just got eaten in a cake. Remember that. Doesn't get worse than that.

Tell me how the future of Lego Windows looks for you.

While mac's are no doubt the most expensive, they are also no doubt the most capable computers on the planet, hence why I bought another. OSX is vastly superior to windows for 90% of the things I do with a computer, and the other 10% of things I do... well I do it in a VM based off my bootcamp partition, and have the full capabilities and features of windows with a swipe of my fingers..

Anyway, you all decide. What video do you want this weekend?

personally, im sticking with windows 7 no matter the cost, I hear people are having problems with w8.1

show us something about the new weapons and their properties, I want to see how it could be used during the heat of battle. or you could show us progress on vehicles

A showcase of new weapons or vehicles. o:

Windows: Games
Mac: Everything else
Also a video of that focus carbine thing would be nice. We haven't seen what it looks like in first person yet.

i'm partially with echo on this one, i'd love to see the warthog and gausshog in action. (btw masters, seeing as the gauss turret is basically a railgun, it would have a firing sound VERY VERY similar to thunder with a possible slight zap/pulse sound from the EM discharge, in case you're curious)

To nitpick, while railguns and gauss guns both utilize electromagnets to propel a projectile, railguns use a pair of electromagnetic rails, while gauss guns use coils of electromagnets. A thunderous sonic boom coupled by the sound of electrical discharge does seem like it would be an appropriate effect, though.

Actually, I don't think we are going to have a Gauss Hog in SPV3, it will be in B30:E though but for SPV3 B30:E I think we will be using a Rocket hog (good ole h1 style, none of that stupid h:4/h4 crap)

If you're using a Halo 1-style rocket Warthog, might I make a few suggestions?

•The 102mm rocket turret found on the Halo 1 Warthog is apparently magazine fed, but it also has three barrels. While this should mean that you have a total of six shots (three in the chamber, three in the magazine), this is not the case. I would say do away with either the multi-barrel layout or the magazine.
•Despite being a rocket launcher, there's no port for backblast to be vented. This should be remedied with the addition of a(n) exhaust port(s), or by expelling the rockets with a small booster charge that punts them a short distance out of the barrel before igniting the engine and accelerating to its maximum velocity (i.e. rocket leaves barrel, travels a short distance at relatively low speed, rocket ignites and accelerates).
•The rocket turret on the Warthog featured in the Halo E3 2000 trailer would be a great reference, I think.* It has a single barrel with an exhaust port, as well as a revolver-action cylinder that would allow it to fire multiple shots (it's shown with a 5-round cylinder, but this could be swapped for a 3-round cylinder or eliminated entirely, if you wanted to make it single-shot). Personally, I've also been a fan of that big shield on the front, so that would be nice to see, too.

*Would also be a nice throwback to the rocket Warthog in SPV1.

I think that the general design and shape of that turret was refined and later used for the Gauss Cannon. They are very similar in design.

Just wanna throw that out there.

I like the suggestion in RED.

I'd say you're correct, it does look very similar to the gauss turret. But since the latest CMT gauss Warthog I remember seeing was magazine fed, rather than revolver action, I think they could get away with using a rocket turret like this in SPV3.

Hopefully nuero won't be mad about me posting this... but this is the model for our Rocket Hog





As you notice, it has 4 barrels, because 4 barrels look nicer than 3. To clarify, it will function like the H1 Rhog, but 4 shots, not 3.

it looks good, but you might want to make use of the medkits, add a special function, like drop a one time double medkit group, of 2 singles at 2 times of choice.

can you make an animation after fire? such as rotation? or use a revolver thing like the previous shown hog above?

Yeah, we actually have a system in our vehicle scripts so that the player can use the 2 health packs in the hog to heal himself and his passengers.

There aren't any plans for reloading or revolving stuff. the model even may change. This is just where it stands now.

woot! finally a hog with usable kits

That hog is beautiful. I can't wait to get my hands on it and blow up some covenant.

@MastersL337: I like it! Both practical and fairly unique. I notice that there seems to be a spare tube strapped to the side of the bed, though. Does this imply that all the tubes are single-shot, disposable modules?


I believe this holds the answer to your question.


The way they have it set up, it wouldn't need to rotate or be fed by a revolving cylinder.

That's one great looking hog IN MAX but I'm not a big fan of max renders got any in game screens?

Is that to high polly or what? OMG!
How are you going to put that in CE?

I would think you could get a better render of that sexxxy machine!
something for my desktop hmmm?

Nice.

i gotta say masters, she's a work of beauty. i love how the occupants planned ahead and fastened health kits and a spare tube onto the hog. also don't be afraid to beat the hog a bit beforehand, it probably tumbled around in the hangar a lot before the marines salvaged it. love the attention to detail though!

Well don't thank me, That Neuro, he's the one who did all the work.

@jackrabit: we don't have any of it ingame, this is just the high poly model because this is as far as progress on it is. It's not that important an asset to devote time to now, when we can just use another hog gun as placeholder while more important assets are worked on.

I also vote for vehicles as the ViDoc topic. seems fitting

But when the fins on those rockets deploy during launch, what happens to the passenger???

Do they lose their scalp?

I don't think it'd be an issue.

Here's a TOW missile shortly after launch, for reference.

edged faces pics?

Dat warthog. So nice.

Vehicles we really don't have much to show for... nothing really has changed to much since SPV2 on that front.

I will be doing a video for the DMR, AR and SMG, and Brutes soon. Focus Carbine will be done if Bob's okay with showing the new FP model.

you might want to speed up the up/down looking speed in wraiths, controllers take forever to aim
