Yes. Almost done.

Scarab animations.
Fixing the drive through (Literally) Hangar bug.
Perfecting my secret room.
Giving the phantom another weapon.
Really working on equipment.

Is there anywhere I can find great covenant weapons?

All I have is the basic ones and the beam rifle and brute shot.

I am just worried that it will have to little in the map...

That gameplay will be snail speed due to lack of vehicles and weapons...well, maybe not weapons ;)

(compared to the original)

Also, i am adding a H2-wraith.

:D

Thanks bobby!

Also, the wraith and the banshee are now the H2-wraith and the H2-banshee.

I ask of you...wtf?
Edited by Officer egg on Jul 21, 2008 at 11:57 PM

Looks nice.

Downloading now. Anyway, do you know about that error?

Obviously Jackle doesn't credit because those arn't his animations =/

if ur doin close combat weapons as well as ranged there was a grav hammer on the great batte of asis v2 but it dident hav any external animations only fp animations.

Nor the skin. I sucked at skins back then, more than now. :(

someone messed with a physics tag. Thats it. Get new physics tags.

A vehicle has a physics tag that has a masspoint that uses a non-existant powered masspoint.
Check the physics tags of both the h2 vehicles' you just added
Guerilla will crash when you look at the masspoint(s) that has(have) this bad powered masspoint index, so:
1) add some powered masspoints 1st (name these "BAD" so they're easy to find), then
2) fix the masspoints which use them, and finally
3) delete the no longer needed extra powered masspoints you added ("BAD")

wow that is a completely useless link. everybody can get there in 2 clicks.

Your point is?


On topic: How far has the BSP editing come?

u cant use the weapon backpacks, cuz it only has permutations for the original stock weapons set.

Ah.

That makes sense.

Thanks to the other guy pointing out physics as well.

Anyway, I'll get on that, and the BSP...well, i am not quite familiar with the tools of 3ds max.
I'll expiriment on stuff....lol.

So no BSP work yet, but I have some things in mind.





^ He is still cool even though my image did not show up
Edited by Officer egg on Jul 22, 2008 at 01:13 PM

Sorry, we didn't know Officer Egg had 2 accounts...

Anyway, what changes are you planning to make on the BSP? And roughly how many vehicles (not types but amount) will there be on each side?

lolz, noob.



you are a total noob. Nobody cares what you think or what you say.

Hey guys i thought it would be cool to have a sig as well!

so im doin it too now ^_^






LOLOLOL

Stop arguing. Please.

The BSP?

Hmmm....I think it would be good to add a cliff behind the Halcyon.

That way you can't see the edge of the map and it all looks fine and dandy. :)

Maybe cut off the space behind the covie base, put a cliff...I has an idea. Make the whole covie base a cliff...? Hmm...not quite...oh, I'm thinking again...lol!

Vehicles? Right now...

Human side:
4 jets.
1 Pelican.
1 Longsword fighter.
Two passenger hogs.
Two missile hogs.
Two Gauss hogs.
Three scorpion MBTs.

Covenant side:
4 Brute ghosts.
4 Spectres.
2 Wraiths.
2 Banshees.
1 Seraph.
1 Phantom.
4 Gun towers.

Sound balanced?

If not, please alert me. I want everything to be perfect.

Bobby, about the physics, what exactly do I do? I don't follow.

I added three new points to the mass points thing, and I couldn't name them...I am just confused...
Edited by Officer egg on Jul 22, 2008 at 08:16 PM

It will be added in due time.

I need to make that new animation people requested.

Meh, i don't think there will be lifepods.

Sorry, just it wouldn't make for good gameplay.

I concur.

take out some gun towers, and put in another pelican, and add a seraph. The humans have too few vehicles, so unless their base has a good tactical advantage add some more. Maybe a type of human gun tower.

You can't expect me to be here all the time.

I never play halo anymore, I'm too focused on this mod.

I want a break. No, I don't think a lifepod would be well, and what do you mean covenant longsword?

Still working on equipment.

I downloaded a s***load of tags. lol

How does a TOW missile sound?
Edited by Officer egg on Jul 22, 2008 at 09:24 PM

Please stop.

Don't get this thread locked.

Stay on-topic.

...

What did I just say? Please stop.

Okay, I'll look at the arctic wasteland deal. Anyway, maybe I should add another seraph...

Meh. Maybe not. It is still just as weak though...

QUESTION:

How can I edit how much damage a vehicle can take before you die?
Edited by Dennis on Jul 23, 2008 at 01:14 AM

Edit the .model_collision_geometry tag. Near the top.

CAN. YOU... PLEASE LEARN SOME GRAMMAR? It is getting annoying of all your posts that sound like they came from a 9 year old.

Let's do it tomorrow then. I will host, you will join. 10:00 Eastern time.

Yeah, I want to see some Scarab anims now. D:

And to jazz and Halo da cool, time changed to 1:00 PM tomorrow.

dude... you guys need to go back to school, your spelling sucks ass...
my dog could do better...


now on topic please... if you want to argue go do it on Pm's or something...

Im joining the game!

I think Egg has taken a break from the mod, as said above. Hopefully this topic will go into a sleep, cool down, and not receive its own special cozy lock.

EDIT: Dangit. I cant be on at 1:00. Meh.
Edited by Headhunter09 on Jul 22, 2008 at 09:51 PM

I dunno how to make an animation.

I can't find no tutorial.

Also, model collision geometry...thanks!

In the model-collision geometry, what is parent and what is child?

TP and FP applies to vehicles?

UPDATE:

Newest beta being uploaded to filefront as we speak.

I need to know EXACTLY what I must do. K?

Leave no problems unspoken.
