cool and stan considering its called team death race then yes there will probably be race also make sure to give the navigator something fun side seat of warthog only for transportation make side seat something more important

So what kind of levels do you have in the works?

There isn't going to be a navigator, just the driver.

As far as I know, none. But killer9856 might start this weekend on one or something. If he hasn't started already...

The main race track in the movie will be hard to model, since getting references from a movie is hard.

Not if you watch the movie on the PC, and take pics while doing it. That's what Killer is going to do.

Hax

Well my idea for the navigator would be when you got into the passenger seat, you would have a larger fov than the driver so you could alert him of enemy cars, swords/sheilds/death heads and so on and so forth.

Speaking of swords and shields and death heads how do you plan on pulling those off?

Swords and shields are an idk for now, because from what i've heard they aren't possible. And death heads are. What i'm thinking of doing is; have a device with the skull head on it, then make a trigger volume over it, when you run over the trigger volume either an animated scenery or an animated device tag that pops out of the ground with a damage effect on it.

I'll look over it with Biti and a few others, and see what we can come up with.

Cant wait to see covi vehicles.

how the hell is that hax? some laptops/computers can play movies, with the movies playing im sure you can simply hit print screen to take the image...

I doubt covie vehicles will be in this.

No covie vehicles. Just the hog. I made the first hog because I wanted to keep something Halo related in it, besides the Cyborg biped. Then chains said he wanted to make one, so I let him. It stopped at chains. Nugga117 is modeling the actual Death Race vehicles from the movie, that's what we were originally just going to have, but I decided to make a hog.

I am talking to Biti about the Swords, Shields, and Death Skull right now. He said the Swords and Shields would work, but not very good over multi-player, and the Death Skull will work for sure.

Maybe I can open some sauce on this project. Not myself but see who can make some things possible, and contribute to the team by making such things said above possible.

Anyone willing to help with the opening of sauce with swords and shields, post it here, or msg me on Xfire: church897

Are you going to add the path that frank and the other guy use to escape at the end of the movie? I don't see how that would add to game play but it would be a pretty cool addition.

Maybe for the Machinima, but not for the MP map.

how long is this machinima gonna be, whats it about?

Idk how long it's going to be, that's all in Musicman's head. It's about Death Race, but through Halo Custom Edition. There will probably be differences, and new things added, but the basic thing is that it's about cars shooting the heck out of each other while racing for their lives.

Na.

I don't wanna know what that gun can do :|

How are the guns in the front going to be handled? Who's going to be firing them, gunner/driver/passenger?

The driver controls all guns and defense mechanisms.

ima make a custom reticle that stands out :B

Oh thats what that is, thought it was some kind of futuristic railgun (zoids)

ty for the info, now i can draw a basic idea reticle

you could make the path frank takes to escape a secret room path or put some easter eggs or something cool like that 18 wheeler

It isn't going to be just like the actual movie, Musicman is adding and deleting things. There probably won't be a path, and the Dreadnought won't be released as a regular drivable vehicle, it can however be spawned by cheat_all_vehicles through Devmode. Also, I might disable some Dev functions, so in the map there won't be any cheating.

Wait so you cant drive the dreadnought? gay

u can, but only through dev

not gay

And in the Machinima.

whats the basic layout of the track gonna be like

Don't know yet.

lets go for the natural oval XD

make some maps from this
http://strikeracer.gpotato.com/

Upshift StrikeRacer and Death Race are very similar in ways.
Also maybe model a few cars off of it?

The maps are race style maps, loops, but while racing, you can also shoot other cars down with assorted weapons you can buy.

i dont think anyones put this much thought into vehicles before

We are going to stick with whatever Musicman thinks up, and also, Team Death Race is the name, so...Death Race cars only. (with the exception of the Hog, because it's awesome)

It's the thought that counts. And we aren't really putting that much thought into it, just putting thought into how to use the vehicles.

You should make a one way bridge and then when the drivers are say head to head then they have to either ram them off road to the bridge or the fun way blow them up.

edit: said something that didnt make much sense...
Edited by jescon on Nov 19, 2008 at 09:44 PM

And that completely ruins the whole meaning of Death "Race." Like I said already like three times, "we are going with what musicman thinks up."

Hazard, wouldn't it be cooler if you included Death Race cars, AND custom cars? I had this cool monster van idea I wanted to model for you, but you're so intent on keeping the actual cars. :(
