No, I don't have a picture of a bubble shield to show you.
It's a idea concerning it, that I had recently. I'm not sure if I'm the first to have it, but I doubt it, with all you smart people out there. Well, in Halo 3, the bubble shield is basically transparent with the edges of the hexagons blurred, yes? A blurred effect similar to the active camouflage blur. If there was any way to harness the active camouflage refraction, and apply it to a bubble shield model, it would look fairly good. I've looked hard, and I haven't found any way to do it. But I am definately not the smartest tagger, nor the most effecient searcher. So there might be a way. Just an idea. |

Even if you made the bubble shield a biped, how would you get it to pick up the active camo? CAN a biped pick up active camo? Like, say you put down a biped in sapien, put down a active camo powerup in the same place, would the biped pick it up ingame? |

The only problem is that everyone would either need a ATI card or that Nvidia patch for you to see the camo effect properly.

Only players can pick them up. |

I'd rather go without than take what you'd bring. |

Quote: --- Original message by: Rooster ya, my camoeffect doesnt work any more, does any one know how to fix it? It currently looks like the model just went semi transparent. I have an 8800GTX, wth intel quadcore... aka a nice comp. How do I get the camo to work right again. Try changing the target from: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\hce.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\hce.exe" -Use20 Note: Your video card must have 256MB memory or more. |

It only looks right on ATI cards, or if you get DXTweaker. (Click the link I posted if you want to see) |

On the bubble shield topic, I'm trying to make it a biped, to see how it'll be.
