All of that is possible.

Didn't you say you were leaving...?

so how would sprint work? hold down shift and u run faster?

well you can change the speed that you run when crouched to run faster, and change the animations so you arent crouching, but then you wouldnt have a crouch function.

Yhea unless you dont want any updates, I suggest that you dont nag me when I post them.
Im here for the sole pupose of posting updates and thats it.

I never nagged you about anything.

Anyways, less off topic pl0x.

Yes so far we have
Gemini
Zanzibar
Asencion
Coag
Turf
Midship
Containment
And im pretty shure we have a few more
Heres a video about geminis shaders

I might do something similar to that with midship shader later on.

Ki11a is doing those lawl

Ahhhhhhh, that makes sense. Never would have thought that.lol. I hardly think about crouch when getting in the technical stuff in CE.

Those shaders are bad. Never again for Covy Halo2 maps on CE as a primary. The levels are not supposed to be glossed up and shiny. They are no where near that in Xbox H2. Unless you want this to be closer to a CE style than H2 style, I would not make those shaders so reflective all of the time. However, you can make is shiny on the curves. That is easily okay.

Cove stuff is sipposed to be shiny. unless you want them dull and boring then im keeping them like that.

No, look at Hazard's Midship shaders were fine, but they needed to shine on edges and curves. It doesn't look good in CE if it is nothing but shine.

Lawl hazzard shaders were horrid. they were just a shader with a bitmap. and so far you are the only person who dosent like those shaders.

THATS POSSIBLE!?

That's because there is hardly any criticism here. In my opinion, there is too much shine. Don't make it so shiny in general, but on areas beginning to curve.

look at these refs:

Ok vote.
whould I make the shaders look like that or keep them like how they currently are?

Keep as is. They look great.

Not for H2 maps like that. It's not all about shine.

I'll agree on Darkhalo on part of this, as they look like you disabled AlphaRenderTargets which gives you a 20 FPS drop or so; I'd rather have more detail.

Oh no, he has an idea...

Nonono
there is zero fp loss, and if you want non-shiny shaders all you have to do is disable specular.

You already have it uv-unwrapped so just add bump map of the same texture and reduce the shiny down to a more subtle level and it will look awesome.

Yeah, lower the specular level a little bit. Not much but enough to make it not look all chromic.

sweet i cant wait until the maps come out!!

Edited shaders slightly

and bitmaps a bit

Is it just me or do they look fat?

NICE!!! lol sweet but yeah they are too bright you should make them a little darker

If I recall, the armor wasn't supposed to be too shiny. Look at these ones:

Those like horrible.

That isnt in Halo 2, also just because its the halo 2 skin and model, doesnt mean it should or shouldnt be shiny.

Master chief isnt the only one to get my cheap love.





Should I reduce the elite shine?

no, make them shinier :D

EDIT: all those elites look like there holding the plasma rifles by a wrist band, instead of in their hands

EDIT: Why do you rip so much? :D
Edited by Advancebo on Jul 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM

The Elites look awesome though, you may want to reduce the shine JUST A TAD. But they look really good. CLS, I think you need to replay Halo2 and watch every cut scene of the MC closely.

I like texture baking >_>
