What are we: A part of the {DAM}Clan which makes maps for the clan and occasionally public.

We modify original maps. Not having anyone who is able to make and texture BSP's. We make our own tags.

WIP Laser Pistol: A weak pistol that fires "Lasers" which reflect off every surface. Animations maker is unknown. Think it was CMT.

WIP Camouflaged Assault Rifle: Animations done by Flaming Rain (I think). Working on a better, more greener skin.

WIP Feul-Rod-Skull-Like-Thingy: Overpowered Oddball x3


Pictureless WIP's include :
Heavy Duty Anti-Vehicle Sniper Rifle.
Plasma Assault Rifle thing.
Black Plasma Pistol
Green Needler

Whats done:
Grenade Launcher
Health grenade
Brute Plasma Grenade

I'm hopefully getting a video of the new things from beta testers soon.

Also I dont know what to do for the Flashlight. Right now its really big, bright and green. But I was debating Active Camoflauge or Suicide. Any ideas?

Any ideas for weapons, vehicles or anything else will be greatly appreciated.

New camo AR = Epicer win when i leaqrn to make bitmap tags..

I do like the ar skin.

It will have more green hopefully if i can manage to make his damned bitmap tag.

If it is 512 by 512 or 1024 by 1024 or 1024 by 512. Power of 2's. Place it into the weapons\ar\bitmaps\ as like skin.tif. Has to be a tif. Then type tool bitmaps weapons\ar\bitmaps and it will compile the bitmap.

EDIT: FFS!!!

Edited by HaloSlayer on Aug 6, 2008 at 11:31 AM

Cant do any spaces. Plus you donth ave to do exe. Just do tool bitmaps weapons\camo_ar\bitmaps\camoar.
Make sure the folders dont have spaces in them.

Oh screw it.. I'll get Advancebo to do it. This isn't working for meh D:



Not in CE, pic from onotix. I want teh hud D:
Edited by HaloSlayer on Aug 6, 2008 at 12:53 PM

not if you look all the way down and shoot the psitol youl either get a 1 shot head shot insatnt suicide or if for some resaon it dosnt hit you in the head itl take 3 but i lol wen i go into a room and shot and 8 seconds later i am dead. oh and the needler is badass i will get u a pic of it. still havnt gotten around to grenade launcher

Er, I think you should use that skin in a forest area lol. It doesn't seem right.

The grenade launcher has been fixed to onyl shoot 1 nade not 15. Lol.
Needler now shoots in bursts instead of millions at a time.
Thanks to Advancebo for making the new camo bitmap tag and onotix for the HUD.

Will get pics of it soon.

qeustion can i give beta too freinds

Its ur camo. But advbo made the tag for it :D



Sure, Its an old version neways

New Screens Plox!

New pistol animations..

Grenade Launcher...

Plasma Assault Rifle...

New Purple plasma pistol

New Camo Assault Rifle

New Needler. Fires a burst of the entire clip.

Brute plasma nades

Health grenade

OH SNAP nice detailed fallen tree by me.

new flahg and plasmas

Flashlight x3

lol why are u modding grove? also the trees are not by you. they are in the scenery tags folder.

Pistol Skin is horrible. Fix. The ar skins are cool. Though Changing the material from metal to plasma was stupid on the flags and odd ball. Make it more exciting. Also, the needler is an epic win.

I know but i mad eit look fallen and detailed it with shrubbery and plants :D

The whole map has like 2000 Ferns and shrubs and trees on it to suit the camo ar


The pistol has a new black shader cus its evil! And how do i make it more exciting? adding moar shaders?
Edited by HaloSlayer on Aug 6, 2008 at 05:40 PM

Umm. No. Maybe i'll make Plasma Rain...

Got a better skin idea for the Pistol...

well i actually like the psitl due to the fact u made it out of glass then shaded the crap out of it but anyway beta was fun today but i kept either lagging or having to exit due to my own peraonal game projects but maybe i can get back on tonight and I OWNED U WITH NADE LAUNCHER.

shush! Im going to really slow that foring rate down to like 0.01 rounds a second

or maybe just 0.5. And ill get a better sound for it. its epicly loud and i could hear it at the other side of the map......

Hmm. The plasma pistol..I had an idea. Ill make the bullets reflecty of surfaces similar to the pistol but make it stronger singe the projectile is slower.

Also to do: Make Camo AR less accurate, Make sniper a little more less accurate when unzoomed, Fix pistol skin. make it look nicer, make flag and skull look nicer, make new shotgun, make new flamer, make new rl, make new feul rod and make new vehicles..

EDIT: PUBLIC BETA WOOHOO:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LBODSCZY
New shotgun, fixed other weapons and improved them.

I used to like Grove until now :(

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3118

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3117


And I absolutely HATE the fact that my AR multipurpose from over a year ago was released with TAZZ's tag pack. :(

BUT I am glad to see custom content coming from the community. Keep getting better, pal and someday you may be known to all.

LOL

Come to think of it, I have never played the original Grove before. I got to do that sometime.,

I dont care if its not nice, I choose not to sugar coat every single thing in halomaps because you barley learn from sugar coating because it starts to give you caivities and you start to fail more and more.

Also it shouldnt me {DAM}MapMakers, it should be {DAYAM}MapModders

Technically, they are making a new map when they mod it, since it has new features the previous didn't.lol.

Dont act like a smart ass because if they are making a new map, they modeld it, but they are just editing a bsp made by Arteen which is a modification, so if you used your logic, every single blodogulch variant wasnt a modification map, it should be in th real map section.

LOL

Are you saying that mods are bad or just this one?

All mods are bad in my opinion, minus a few since some work actually went in some (Snowgrove by CMT, etc) also the clan name is misleading the public that they are making maps.

And if you dont like the way I talk, gtfo because im not sugar coating my messages just to be friends with you guys, its to make it so you dont get the result again so you improve so you get less of these comments.

Untill you play it and see your eyes wrong you... and that camo skin you see in the POA isn't used. We have a newer more greener one..

And lulz at the update. the flags and skull r invisible *phail*

Hdoan you aswell till you play it. Your critisising and I doubt you have tryed it. If you have and im wrong sure crit away.

Also. Half the beta testers told me "It reminds me of H3. With the plants and trees. like the first level"

How much fun is the same weapons, a few number edits and a bunch of unrealistic stupid shader changes? Seriously you might aswell credit bungie for the whole thing because as far as I know, youve made barley any of this.
