GRIFBALL! I know everyone here has seen rvb. Thus they have a h3 game called griffball but i was thinking "The halo ce communety has all the tags we need: h3 backpack bipeds gravity hammers energy swords ect. So... why not make a foundry level and make a griffball game!"

So this is what we need: a bomb (as the ball) a good modeler (for the bsp) a good scripter (for the scripts) halo 3 backpack bipeds (.....duh) gravity hammers(again duh) and h3 energy swords (....again 2 duh) So if we can get all those things i think we can make griffball!

I do not believe this is possible. AGAIN. When did Halo CE turn into "recreate every game even though the engine can't handle it?" Gravity Hammers? Cannot work. Foundry? Eww in CE? I do NOT want to see this on CE. I enjoy playing it on Halo 3.

Good idea but it would not work how you want it to

well i do know the grav hammers wont work but what else wont? because the only think i wouldnt know how to script in this would be how to drop the bomb when you get to a point...

lets put it this way:
energy swords dont work properly
gravity hammers wont work properly
so all you have that works is a box
halos engine is just too outdated to support these things

Well then lets think, to make it CE origanal a bit wy not use difrent weapons? what could we use....

You know we'd probably have to change the rules a bit...

yea we would need melee only weapons that are like 1 or 2 hitters... maby........idk just put one of the half lunging swords we have now in. and the grav ham just replace it with something like....a ballpin hammer idk!

Or a whiffle bat! we should make a map called police vs. rioters.

Or use the sword but don't add a lunge. So when you are hit with it it's a instant kill. Like the CMT Spiker.

But if we make it a flag, there will be two balls. and if you have played griffball there is only one. Maby there is a way to set 1 flag and both teams able to pick it up and use it to score on ether side... but if that not work no flags it must be a weapon (to see how the thing coming go to the forum named "script advise/help")

ummmm griffball is very popular on halo 3 and i thought it would be cool to have but since you put it that way if i ever get it done it was intended for just me and my friends so it never realy was going to be released on halomaps so if you dont like it dont download! got it?

uh not exactly true ive seen a decently working grav hammer before and i think its a great idea i was just suggesting this on another thread and just make a neutral flag modeled and skinned like a bomb

Ok since nether me nor me [ks] have found out how to make a nutrual flag... can someone tell us? please?

maybe you could like fuse the two flags together or somthing lol
so both teams could pick it up

but... i love grifball...

who doesnt

Negative.

go to roosterteeth.com and watch every rvb episode they have NOW

which is ONLY season 5 and a few extra and throw-it-in episodes

omg.

Eh, I agree with you anyway.

you do know your posting prevlages got taken away for a reason right

and that reason is because you over react alot and it gets annoying
now none of us will get to play griffball because your a butthead

and theres no one flag ctf gametype

Edited by wesman on Apr 18, 2008 at 09:20 PM

this isnt over reacting?

but what ever can som1 just make this dang thing

yea you gave an idea then followed it up by "OMGOMGOMGOMG this is stuipid just make foot ball"
it would have been better with out that part and then we wouldnt be having this coversation

I got a great idea to do grifball:

• Model a square map the size of Foundry


• Put the Red base on one side, and Blue base on the other


• BUT put player spawns around the opposing teams base


• Then start up the game, choose the CTF where there is only 1 flag in the middle.


• So the when you play, the flag is in the middle, players run to the other side of the court, and score on that end


• And if it is possible, write a script that when the flag passes over the goal, it explodes

model the flag to look like the ball, get rid of the bases, give every one the best working grav hammer we can find and well be good!
ill start looking for a grav hammer

i never criticized on your idea i criticized on the way you presented it along with all the other ideas youve came up with on this thread

all of which are followed up with random unneeded rude comments

youve got good ideas..no1 ever said you didnt you just need to work on your manners a litte

found good gravity hammer tags
its the halo 2 hammer but it could work

Edited by wesman on Apr 21, 2008 at 04:05 PM

yes lets

although i dont now if cheater is even working on it anymore

but if he was then we would already be close to done what with the sword grav hammer and big gray box

im working on getin 3d max so maybe i could take this up

It doesn't work. That's been around for a while, and it has no lunge or gravity effects really. It's just a hammer, and it has no good skin unless someone randomly updated it from what the original was.

The odds of this happening are slim to none. you have maybe a 2% chance of getting it to work on Halo 1's engine, and maybe a 20% on Halo 2 Vista. This kind of work is left best to Bungie for when Halo 3 for Windows 7 comes out, and that'll be a long time. Your best bet is just to keep Grifball on Halo 3 right now, because unfortunately, Halo CE won't support it.

I'm not saying I don't like the idea, I'm saying it won't happen. Several reasons:

A.) Explodable scenery doesn't sync. The bomb would turn into a scenery file the minute you step over the base, and thus, if someone joins after the placement, even by a couple seconds, they won't see the explosion; They'll just suddenly die if they're in the vicinity.

B.) Lunge has never worked properly on a weapon. Trying to have a weapon cause movement when locked onto a character, and pressing the trigger key, wasn't added into Halo 1. If you saw the Elites holding swords in Halo 1, none of them lunged; And for a reason, it wasn't added in until Halo 2.

C.) If you've noticed, gravlifts don't work on Halo 1, nor do "man cannons", or any of those. Thus, the 'gravity' hammer, won't work properly either. Trying to create a damage tag that has a knockback to any characters within a certain vicinity, will cause syncing problems again.

D.) Aside from the fact that gravity hammers won't work, energy swords won't work, and the bomb won't work. All you'd get out of trying this, is a replica of a box as a level. You couldn't mod the level any, because Halo 1 doesn't have Forge... Leave Foundry to Halo 3.


If you see my reasons, this is unfortunately a lost cause. If you have an idea, make sure you know it'll work with Halo 1 before you suggest it, otherwise you're pretty much just getting your hopes up for a game that doesn't have much support for anything except what it does when it was first created.

1: sword doesnt have to lunge we can take that out or we can use the one from h2_zanzibar (the one that lunges without having to lock on)
2:grav hammer doesnt need to knock back youll just have to be good at meleeing
3:bomb doesnt have to explode it can just be a like a flag but looks like a bomb that dont explode
4: i kinda like the skin doesnt look too terribly bad
all we have to do is make a few sacrifices and this will work
Edited by wesman on Apr 22, 2008 at 03:54 PM

so are we gonna take this up or what?

Ill get back on this IF someone desides to help. I mean when i was tring to atlease work on the scoring no one would help and the script i made sucks becuase of bugs (check my xfire vid iky001) and i dont have tags and i know that no experinced people with weapons will give me them even though for this project.

well i posted a grav hammer its about the best one your gonna get so i suggest using it
i will try and help if i can but im kinda restricted from comp but let me know if you need somthing and maybe i could help
xfire:mcwesalot

and like elite said just make a neutral flag no need for the explosion just a flag shaped like a bomb
