Always thought it was Quit ****ing Talking. Anyways I'm making LOD's for my bipeds and weapons so it won't lag as much.

what's an LOD???

.... yeah thats helpfull... now really whats an LOD

Legend of detail I think, its just different models for how far it is cause you don't need a ton of detail if the weapons is like 200 feet away from you.

I am just going to assume you are on crack. ;D

It stands for Level Of Detail.
Each LOD object is a certain Level Of Detail.

oke so then you need to make a few lower poly models am i right??

Yeah kinda like that. and when the model is so far away the LOD is switched to something with less polies/triangles.

sounds like a lot of work... wait do you have to make new textures/skins for it???

I though LOD meant Lots of detail.

If it did, we'd have one laggy game. Why is everyone too lazy to spell things out?

Not necessarily, you can use the same skin if you make the same UVW template the same, but then the model is lower poly/tris. LOD's are a must when you are running Halo 3 content (I will say no more about this :P) in a Halo 1 engine, especially when you use a high poly model such as my John-117 biped.

Lets just hope that this map will work better then the last map Hdoan made, You know what happend.

Xfire is working for me again, I hope for a while now....Can I haz beta now 2 test stuff :D
And by 'work better' you mean the majority of people should be able to play it online?

Rember what happend last time the map wouldn't work for anyone (but it would work for some people).

Yeah yeah, don't understand what Doan screwed up after the beta...wait...but I was host. Must mean he can join, I'm try to solve it. I'll get rid of all my maps and I'll ask you for help on xfire right now.

Lods are a must 95% of the time when using a model aeound 3k if you want to give everyone good performance.

^Didn't know that, about the 3k I mean.
Also, 1800killz and I were trying to get PB2 to work. First, I had him take out all of his maps, except Bungie maps and PB2. Still couldn't join my game with PB2. I changed the game to Blood Gulch, so then he joined. We talked for about 20 seconds but then the game froze and gave me a networking error, which is something in my firewall I'll fix soon. Then, he tried to join my game again, only to have both of our games freeze, and then we had to exit out via Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The only reason I could come up with was:
Some script in the map is screwing around with some peoples firewalls, causing them to be blocked by the host. I have yet to try this with a dedicated server, because all games I see that are PB2 are people-hosted. So, it's not a map, as I just proved (but still have to do more tests on) but it might be something to do with the firewall because 1800killz told me he had gotten a new firewall recently.
Edit: Ok, Dedicated servers work, at least the one I'm in right now is. It's the only server with PB2 on it as a dedicated server.

Lord Hood

Tomorrow gonna do Johnson, Miranda and other marines in white formal suits, then all Ill need is the flood(Except for Juggernaut and Gravemind)

lord hood had some wrinkle cream :P

can anybody tell me how you can rip models from other games? And HDoan, Great work! Looks nice

I would think Hood would be more of a pistol person, rather than an Ma5C.

is truth shootable and killable?

yes and hugable...... what you dont believe meh?

is that my ma5c?

Nice, shiny suit and face.

I don't think so because it would have different textures on it

Nope, never got the chance to switch the third person models.

You can shoot him, kill him, HE can shoot you and kill you. Also he can get in and out of the vehicle and melee.

Profit:i am the god of b(Itch) slapping
profits b(itch) slaps player who is playing the currently played map...
ah he killed me now i have to wait for respawn for my revenge!!

You better edit that or it will get edited for you by Dennis lol

Edited bitmaps, multipurpose and shaders. Old or new one?

Old

You're going to fix the hunter, right? Because it's suppose to be 11 feet tall, and if those elites are 8 feet....
