Wow guys, way to crap up Yoyo's thread.


In an attempt to get this thing back on topic:

Can't wait for this, it's looking better and better every time. That little panic room will definitely add a new dimension of gameplay.

As in, sniping? Please balance the weapons and either make the sniper spawn every 2 minutes, or spawn farther away so the sniper has to run around taking cover to get ammo.

yeah that there where so many snieprs in yoyrast island v1 it became an campers paradise XD

This still looks like alot of fun to play. I may actually play CE more.

oh and about the whale idea..... whoever said make it small to look far away..... no that never works..... bungie made the halo on the poa level too big and too close... I don't care what they were trying to do.... all i'm saying is that once you see that it's just an illusion (easy to see if your not stupid.... not calling names or implying anything) and is ruined afterward. If it were to be done and done right it would have to be placed right. Besides there is no need for a whale.... or island..... unless it's part of the sky..... because all it would do is spawn random BS like "Oh meh gorsh letz goooo whale visinga!" or "Island paradise away from paradise boat riedz, get your boat riedz hearz!" well thats all i'm saying..... anyway aparently alot has changed here, E3p0 being on the yoyo team and several other things..... I gotta stop not coming here like I used to do... I miss this place lol.

Well, I may as well let you guys know a bit more about V2.

E3pO is doing an awesome job with finding shortcuts and stuff, he's got the same job as TheGhost did when he was working on V1 (Well, and a bit of V2).
Matooba had the ATV 95% skinned, he sent it to me and I tagged it (Put nodes and frames and stuff), then I sent it back to him to finish the textures. That was about a week ago, and Matooba's been known for disappearing for long periods of time.
When he DOES send it back, then I'm going to animate, then get it ingame.
The animations will be easy, but take the longest, and getting it ingame should be no problem for me.

Everything else is finished or near finished, I hear Sunny (Of Valkyrie fame) will be working on the lighting for V2, and once the Mongoose gets done, then it will be up to E3pO to find the bugs and fix them.

Yoyorast will have to have a massive beta right before it's released to find the remainder of the bugs (Just an FYI, there has been no real beta testing on V2 since I've been on the project, since nothing had really changed but the vehicles), and, once those are fixed, then it should be done.

It really is getting close to completion, soon to move in to what Bungie has dubbed "Crunch". I just need that model skinned.

EDIT: 1700th post.

i remember the atv animations for youre first atv..Make it more realistic this time maybe?

Same here dude. A lot has changed (apparently).

i now what you mean but ive never leaved halomaps, its like my house

Oh gawd no! Not Sunny working on lights! I don't want massive lag!

Oh god. Lol.

i agree. please dont turn it into Valkyrie.

So you're saying make the map have the highest quality so not everyone can play it because they will get FPS lag and will have to get a new graphics card just to play it?

ya odx is right because i dont want to find out that i have to go buy another computer because your map was so awsome it blew up my old one

I dont think they will do it much..Just enough too make it look good.

The point of Valkraie or w/e it is called. It is an experiment to show what the engine can do to it's fullest extent. Ans doing research so people can use some of the things in there map. Odveisly you won't use all of those things. Valkrie is just showing what the engine can do in a map.he is just going to do the shaders where things are necessary on yoyorast.

^^.

Even with my super-omega-crappy computer, I didnt have a bad fps.

Sunny said he is only going to do what is needed for the map, and not go full Valkyrie on everyone. He's just going to make the map look pretty.

Sure, because EVERYONE has $50 to spend. Also, it has to be compatible with the computer. This is the reason my brother is taking so long to order and build his new computer. He's waiting for people to respond to what parts will work with what he wants. All he needs now is I think a case, and something else. All I know he's going to get is an 8800GT and 500GB of hard drive space.

I already have my brother almost about to build a computer/order the parts. 8800GT, which I think I'd have to optimize with patrick's tutorial. Also, I had $50, but spent it on Call of Duty 4 since my brother was back from college and you know...it's M?

I agree. The bases should be more like a building with shields on the windows/doorways/any other opening that work the same way as the bubble shields.

It's been one year I'm looking for shortcuts along with theghost, skyline, skogen.. and been fixing them by remodeling the model... there won't be any , trust me...

You know, I should download Valkyrie and try it on my computer...All of that might have had no point, but if soulrunner killed my computer.........

EH. soulrunner was pure ****. It made my computer screw its self end over end. Valkyrie worked fine.

Alright, so I got Valkyrie, played it, while noticing it's level design is terrible, my FPS was about 10-15 on my computer that is I think 3 years old. Only at one part did it drop to about 4-8 FPS.
Moral: Don't overdue things that don't need to be.

Sunny said it wasn't portaled and that later versions would be portaled.

ODX your pc sucks my 8 year old pc cna even handle it with ease

Dude, where have you been. He is not trying tio make an awsome amp for gameplay. he is trying to show what the engine can do. He knows he overdid things. But that was his goal. And he strictly said he would not overdue anything on yoyorast V2. He is just making it pretty.

and dont forget ODX his pc sucsk because my 8 year old pc with standard pentium 4 cna play it so why cant his pc

and for gameplay jsut play v1 for gameplay adn eye candy play v2 XD

Um...what the heck did you just say? Also, Duce, calm down, that was just a side note. Also, my PC does not 'suck.' It just can only run most custom maps at about 30-45 FPS. Snow_Grove being about 25-30 because it's just that good. Oh, did I mention many times my brother is buildinga new computer for under $1k?

I had a Pentium M at one point.

I'll see if I keep the trees or not..
Bout ATV, we're talking H3 ATV here so there'll be a driver and a gunner behind him.. just like in H3 hehe.. well if Matooba ever finish it... ;)

whats left to do on the ATV? i thought jay is just getting it ingame now. or is the model/skin not finished yet?

well i know that! but jay is supposed to be animating and getting it ingame once matoobas done modeling it.

OK, about the ATV:

Matooba is still skinning it, but he disappeared. I AM still getting it ingame, but, since Matooba disappeared again, progress has ground to a halt.

I do realize that I can animate without the skin, but, if I do that and the skin has the headlights in a different spot then I marked out for them, then I would have to redo the headlights on the main model, and then, so tool doesn't start *****ing at me, I would have to redo the animations.

I'm saving myself from having to redo it by waiting for him to finish.
