ther's already a bunch of rooms, semi hidden everywhere around the level that will end up pretty hard to find for new users and the map's not nearly done.

i was gonna put Are releasing a beta. but its cant be a beta really can it? i think i just bumped this...oops.

I'm not Releasing a beta lol At the moment i'm tweaking the underwater fog so that you're not 600% blind when underwater in the Research lab..Anyway! I find it sad that the topic sinks like that... Noone is posting anymore...anyway, BSP modelling should be done in a week... Then comes some polishing and refining it to correct some oddities that still are around/UVing...


I still need someone that can either show me how to tag vehicles( Without, having to remake a banshee from the globals huh) or that will do it for the project.

lol i'm not Gibbo so... and yeah, there's a new BSP... I made it as big as Tool would let me( In RP, it's always better to have more space....) I added a full interior to the Citadel of Quebec, a full underground research lab, a big island in the middle of a lake and a small city. still 2 of themap's four corners to fill up tho..I won't add much there so that the thing won'T lag.

How many times have people asked this... The Citadel of Quebec is the giant ship that hung in the air in RPGBeta4.

UNSC Citadel of Quebec - FFG-099

Manufactured by: Salzburg III Shipyards

Crew: 7 (Minimum)

Passengers 210

BSP Of course. I just made it's specs sheet.

Hopefully, If I can tag vehicles there will be but otherwise, it could end up as scenery. Honnestly the map will be so much better with it... Imagine dropping from the CoQ and landing on some kind of tropical island, in the center of a Huge lake and clearing the ground until an Albatross dropship comes in to drop 3 warthogs...

lol I am still laughing about the "turd" lightmap detail option... XD


hmm the odst pods aren't a bad idea. I like that whole thing with... yeah! And rebels come and shoot some of the pods AAHHHHH! :P

There's no covie cruiser... but yeah, If I can get to tag , there will be the ODST pods.

Gibbo is helping with this? First Kiwi's seen him touch CE in lord knows how long.

Gibbo Terrel and I were sticking together last year by RPG_btea4' dev time so even if he's moved to a new game after this project, it doesn't mean he won't help out. He's seen some of the alpha builds and we started thinking about how things will turn up... Sent him my textured albatross aswell... when he gets back we'll get into concepting:P

it's unfortunate that you can only have 1 'gunner'. Thats just how the halo engine is. Heh, I remember when server tried very hard to explain that small detail to me xD

There's a laggy way to script-bypass this... a looping objects_attach object detach but as I said it would lag.
Don't mention details on this thread please hehe


as for only 1 gunner, are you sure? I thought having ''Attachments'' such as the Hog turret would work.

As for the HEV pods, it's complicated. Gotta have it work like banshee with no forward throttle speed. Pressing W slows you down and touching nothing let's you ''Freefall'' like banshee does.

That was exactly what he was talking about, "attaching" one vehicle to the other.

Yup. Looping attach detach but well you could only enter while it is ''Detach'' and whjen attached, your camera would warp to some random point(Or would it?) I know it happens when attaching a warthog loaded of people to a pelican on hugeass. There may be a way to fix this....

anyway. This scripting idea could prove very nice but very laggy... Imagine having the POA as a vehicle( Or actually, maybe 10 different vehicle, each having the maximum allowed amount of seat except the ones needed to attach with the other modules..)
Of course such a big vehicle would be rather pointless due to the maximum allowed map size but then again, there are ways around this too.

A Beta Test For A Beta Version Of Something !?!
thats a bit cheesy.
I Like Cheese :D

I don't think I mentionned I intend to use it hehe. I have found a much better way to spend my ''FPS'' on ... Which actually surprises me why noone ever did it. Anyway, It's impact on the map is actually so huge... immense.... Wonderfull... And there's no exageration there. the feeling it will add to the whole thing is just amazing and I guess noone here woul deven guess it. Those I told to, Keep it secret please hehe

hmmmmmmmmmm? someone mentioned me? xP
Ask me wat?

Also yes u can technically have 1 more gunner, but those are 'unconventional methods' and then theres my method :D which can allow for extra gunners, and even fully sync up (must actually test mind u) but thats secret >:D

Yeah well I don't think I mentionned either I would actually want more than 1 gunner lol the CoQ is BSP not a vehicle. anyway, the neat thing I mentionned is much better in it's own way than a vehicle.

thread jacker:P This isn'T a Help topic hehe

Oh Hi Thar!

I remember Gibbo telling me about this in Gmod. :D

I may be able to help Tag, but its been about 2 years since I did anything in HCE, been to busy playing Command and Conquer and Sappin' Gibbo's Mechs.



Edited by KE_Trace on Feb 26, 2008 at 02:25 PM

Which Command & Conquer? Tiberium Wars?

C&C95, Generals/Zero Hour, Tiberium Sun, Tiberium Wars. But thats offtopic.

It is. If you can help tag anyway, Contact me on xFire

i remember helping on rpg 3? or 4? something like that...

not interested in helping anymore though.

Prolly was RPG3, not 4.

Must... resist... urge... to... go... further... off... top- screw it!

Where the bloody hell is Red Alert on that list?

Yeah, considering it will be made to work the way we'd want in game instead of supposing everything off or be limited to a single plot.

so is this nearly done?

OFF TOPIC: ZOMG APOCOLYPTIC SEIZURE!!!

Nah. The vehicle tagging is holding it back. There's also some work left onthe BSP... mostly polish and detail( but some key features are still missing).

Gah Damn.

There are people who would play a map labeled with the RPG_Beta name even if it were simply a white box with one warthog in it.

I bet they would... but it's not close to be a master piece at the moment. I personally think there's alot ''RP Wise'' in it but my technical skills are still very limited so..

lol. to be honest, it could be good machinima... maybe... but i cant make machinima. it would run away from my noobness
