It's really the angle of the biped and the MA5k isn't just a one-shot weapon; it can go automatic in a second. Speaking of which:





More pics of the weapon for those who want to see it in a better light.

I have scaled down the Flood's health by 10-15 points from their previous 300. The Rocket flood are more DANGEROUS, even on easy. The rocket will hit you in a seconds notice. The Flood can now be beaten with:
AR- One Clip
Ma5k- Not even half a clip.
*Anything else is pretty much the same, but better because the Flood's health has been reduced.

I want to explain something right here though: There is a difference between the Ma5k and Carbine in this mod. Pics to illustrate:
The MA5K


The Carbine


The Ma5k is an automatic/semi-automatic weapon. The Carbine is only a one-per-shot weapon. That is the difference.

hey let me find one of my reticles and ill give it to ya :D

Short update-The following are recent developments:


If you recognize this spiker model, please tell me ASAP.

c40 + DestructiveRocketLauncher carrying Flood = arg, arg, and even more arg. That is just on easy.

c20 + New MA5K = not AS boring, but makes you wish you could end the level by the second lift still. The ending of the level is more fun though.

Advancebo gave me a new crosshair for the new MA5K. I'll post a pic soon.

Due to me screwing with the effects tags of a splazer and messing it up, we now have two Rocket Launchers in the game. One explodes and other obliterates. Normal Launcher + Anit-Air CMT-like Projectile shooting Launcher. Anything that is hit dies. Even from behind a rock, full shields on easy.

I still have the same spots open for weapons. They are:

-Pistol

-Plasma Pistol

-Shotgun

-Rocket Launcher Possibly

-Any cool new weapons somewhat related to Halo.

Discuss. More pics to come soon.

I was in some what of a hurry to get through the level. I'll post a better pic later. It'll be in a quote box.


If anyone knows who made this H2 Chief biped, let me know ASAP. It would really be a great addition to this mod.
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jun 28, 2008 at 06:10 PM

I believe that is Sigma's from Asgard, but I have no idea which one of them made it. Donut perhaps?

EDIT:And thats probably Jahrain's biped. I'm not sure, but it looks like it so...
Edited by TVTyrant on Jun 28, 2008 at 07:59 PM

Darkhalo, I have a better looking version of H2 Armor, though it doesn't look like H2, a little more on the "realistic" looking side with fake bloom chits:



I am unsure of whether or not yours or this one is rigged better, but I think this one is more pleasing to the eye as opposed to armor that is as glossy as my friend's new car.

Maybe you can hit me up on xfire sometime if you are interested, Darkhalo. Comes with similar looking FP Arms and various shader setups. I will probably use this in my map, which is coming along slowly, but as right now I have nothing to do, I will be working on it whilst listening to some 80's MetallicA.

The third one, chains? Get your own! He's my slave-I mean-puppet-I mean-sextoy-I MEAN PET--I MEAN... D:

Thanks for the idea. I may put a few of them on the Bridge on a50. d20 has so much Flood, it wouldn't matter.



I agree, the third one is good, but I like the biped I have so far. I feel like it "belongs."
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jun 28, 2008 at 11:46 PM

Lulz, ever notice how H2 MC has Gundam feet?

:D I thought I might have been the only weird one <.< >.>

But Covenant Engineers can't exactly fight.... D:

Oh well, lol. Looking good so far DarkHalo003.

Yeah, I may just include Engineers as either invulnerable or as scenery. I haven't decided completely yet.

Well, you would need to have completely new animation sets for them because they have no death animation or anything... unless they are out of the way to where you cannot possibly kill them.

Yeah. I'll make them scenery I guess. I don't want to mess with animations. Now, I really would like some help on the following: Special, unique tags to could replace old ones:

-Shotgun

-Pistol

-Plasma Pistol

-Ect.

I would really like some more good tags that are unique and specially seen throughout the community. If you have any suggestions, please speak them ASAP.

SHOW MY RETICLE FOR THA MA5K

Needs moar fp animating kplzthx

i never realy noticed the engineers in halo

You will now:




And if anyone knows who's sniper this is, let me know:


Now, as a short update:

- I am going to see if Codebrain will allow his phantoms to appear in the community mod. I have put them in and they actually work very well.

- Heroic is evil!

- Covy Turrets are stronger now, with the phantom's projectile.

- I am attempting to put in mongeese in this mod. There may be one or two types,depending if Matooba will release his Monggose to me early for the mod.

[/end of short update]

Alright, after searching through my folder I have added this to the mod:



There are no special abilities that come along with the skulls so far, but some may have different abilities later on. Anyways, they are spread all throughout the levels.

NOW PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK THE FRONT PAGE FOR AN OVERALL UPDATE ON THE MOD AND IT'S ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE.

modify the skull to get a 1 hit kill melee, and hide it somewhere like in halo 3 :P and maybe there can be a script to see some extraness with something :P

They are hidden pretty well. However, get within 3 feet of the position and you automatically have it. Can that be potentially changed?


Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jun 30, 2008 at 01:44 PM

in the weapon tag, theres a section and it has checkboxes, uncheck the part that says: must be picked up, then u have to manually pick it up like in halo 3

Alright, thanks. Something I have wondered is how to add vehicles to the level a30. I have had difficulty doing that.
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jun 30, 2008 at 02:01 PM

Hes wayyyyyyyyyy to cool for us.

New-old Stuff added into the mod, including the now producible b40:

(Before some of you see this, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for it)



And we now have Carbines courtesy of Donut, wherever he may be. Last time we talked about it, he said he didn't mind me using the Carbine, so here it is:


Turrets come with Phantom Gun. Phantom Sold separately:


Now before anything else happens, here is another good biped I found for the mod:




Not sure who's this is, but it looks good. What do ya'll think? The first biped shown in the thread or the second? Any suggestions worth attempting?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update time:

- Grunts will not have the Needler o' Hell casually in levels. Unless they are specops or are on a ship, Grunts won't hold it. They are annoying enough as is.

- Doan's rigged H2 elites, possibly ODSTs, and maybe Jackals will appear in the mod. If he releases the Hunter, it may be in there as well.

- New AI may appear in the mod. If Doan decides to release the Honor Guard, you'll see them in there, plus the CMT Rangers and other Elite AI.

- Jackals like the Carbine. They use it well. I've actually died a few times fighting across the room from one.......and there were no headshots enabled. Jackals may get their very own Needler depending on a few variables. Jackal Minors carry the Carbine after b30 as a security measure in the Covenant. Jackal Majors carry the needler, but unless they go crazy with it does it do anything.

- Grunts are unchanged unless in a50, d20, or d40. In c40 they MAY wield more recent forms of the Fuel rod, but nothing is certain.

- Hunter Majors have a black/white coloring. They are only ONE of the reasons why you have the Coldsnap Sniper. 500 health doesn't quite die from a few normal sniper rounds, but if you can get a clear shot in the back with a pistol (you'll rarely get to use one after b30 if not at all), Precision Carbine (NOT the Ma5k), or Sniper they'll kill over by default. I am trying to change that. Some other new stuff may occur to them as well.

- Elites Wield the carbine. Majors replace the PR with the Carbine at b40 and Ranged Minors have it from the start. No elites use the Needler. They won't use the Beamer (nothing will). They are the H2 rigged models by Doan.

- Sentinels come in Gold and Silver. Gold have dangerously strong beams. Silver are the normal ones.

- The spiker has been given another chance to be more accurate.

- There will be a standard sniper alongside the Coldsnap one.

- All levels have been compiled at least once. Every level is now accessible and the mod will only continue to get better as time goes by.

Remember to check the Front Page for Percentage updates!

Yeah, I liked the older one too. There is still a bit that needs to be done, mainly on the AI side of things. Bigger encounters on c40. Maybe a bit of music thrown in.

This is Halo. Not Fight Club. Don't talk about Fight Club. EVER.

i think u should use the sniper from cmt snowgrove i love that thing. question bout' the skulls do they have n effects besides being .....skulls?

Not as in Halo3 effects, but they may have some stuff equipped with them. Right now, they have nothing but one-hit-kill, but soon they'll have other junk. To Dotkito, why would I put in non-Halo music? This is a community mod, not an extraneous mod. Does anyone know how to keep AI passengers in vehicles.

And how many community mods are there? No. I'm not changing to non-halo music. I find it very annoying after a while.

Not even close.

it can help alot to mix halo 1-2-3 music together, if you find it tiresome dokito; also keying the music at the right time helps alot

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh look a the pics again. There is no CMT content mainly due to them still using half of it and that they have not released any recently used tags. They aldreay have content in the mod anyways. It's called Monitor Animations.
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jul 5, 2008 at 04:51 PM

Thought about it. If anyone has the instrumental of it, then I will definitely consider it for the last part of c40.
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Jul 5, 2008 at 05:24 PM

New AR model I found:






This pic demonstrates an all elite encounter. My shield was fully charged and more health when I first started the encounter. It recharged a bit, but was interrupted by the hurling of spikes from the spiker and then the finishing shots were from the red elite with the carbine. I respawned to take the approach more cautiously. I had the luck to have the red elite beaten before I reached the two minor elites. The ODSTs on the spectre gave me backup as they gunned down anymore grunts in the area.

There are two things I want to say first. One, this AR is WMP Dismal's, so if any of the makers could contact me about it possibly being in the mod, that would be great. Two, what do ya'll think about a change in the AR. Do you like it more now or do you want to keep the older AR in the thread? This is a community mod, so every thought matters.

BUG REPORTS:

A new segment of the update involves the Bug Report. It's pretty much self-explanatory; if you know how to fix the bug you can tell me anytime. First Bug Report:

Mai vehikel dont want 2 driev nao. I can haz help?

Rip the .cyborg animations from yoyorast.
