:(
EDIT: i like updates cause everytime i see them, i think, this is realy open source?

Edited by halo3n00b on Mar 23, 2009 at 10:54 PM

yes it is

i know it is, but i this map will be the best open source map, meaning that no other map this good is open source

If you look at any map that was made before extraction was possible, they were all good.

i know but i like this cause sandtrap was one of my most favorite h3 maps

I like the map too. but it doesnt really matter. i know for sure that since hes working on 2 maps its gunna go slower. but build up the patients to wait lol. and Grunt...how far have you come with Sandtrap and Captus?

Yo, I released the UT2K4 mod and the Deck level, I know a bit about weapon tagging. If you need some help with tags and weapon damage let me know and I'll work on it.

Captus is almost done, I just need to tweek the weapons and a few other things.
This still needs alot of work though.
check PM'S

Alright, we'll work something out.

If I do say so myself, one thing I always see that makes me sad are bad attempts at H3 sniper kickback... it needs a mix between permanent and temporary camera impulse, not just permanent.

I also know how to give the illusion that a projectile has two contrails, but I haven't perfected that yet.

Hope to work with you later lol.

Bumpdate:


SNIPER IS PLACEHOLDER DOODS





All weapons except for sniper, assault rifle, and rocket, were extracted from halo 3. These are probably placeholders, unless the community states otherwise.
also some more pics are on the way, thanks to Mookz

fix textures nao pl0x
lol, anyway, how long do you think the release date is going to be delayed now that ODX is away from the community?

That pistol is the BEST halo 3 pistol i've seen

"All weapons except for sniper, assault rifle, and rocket, were extracted from halo 3." Does that mean the animations for the pistol are ripped?

May be a while. From what I've seen so far the weapons need a lot of tagwork, which is what I'm going to work on. It may take a good while, 1-2 hours for each weapon at the very minimum. Plus I have a job, friends, etc, may have the weapon functions tagged within half a week to a week.

Also, you cannot rip H3 animations with the current available tools. I'm assuming the weapons and textures were ripped from the beta.

:)

Still, the textures. Also, fix the UV's on the back of the spiker. Banshee skin is meh. Don't love it, but I don't hate it either. Please fix the sand though :)

How well do the grav-lifts work?

not very at the moment

Starting to look very good! Really like the banshee too.

Delete that back door on the Albatross that has fallen on the ground, there isnt one in Halo 3.
And fix the display on the AR, the numbers are also crooked, and have the wrong font.

Also for the Banshee, since you cant have a perfect boost in Halo, make it so that it goes faster than the standard banshee, but not to fast up to boosting speed.

Damn, that looks neat.

But could you make it a tad bit brighter?

And the sky IMO is a bit ugly... change please?

and i noticed a grav lift in one of the pics.

does it work?

and if it doesn't just use a teleporter

Wow nice. And cant wait till Captus is released too. But some of the teextures from Sandtrap are a little messed. i mean i know u cant get it perfect but it needs a little touch up

Maybe make the sky a bit brighter?

Quite the contrary, I love that banshee.

i really like that sand texture

who made it?

can you change the spikes from the spiker? they are huge. do they actually stick to your opponents?

Grunt that looks so uber sexy. The map and the weapons look amazing, can't wait for the final release!

Anyone with a brain could have seen that, and could have assumed that they are a placeholder.


Also spiker isnt even in sandtrap, and I wont be using that model at the end, also also that's not the real banshee skin I put the old on ingame by accident.

I did, I also made alot of the other bsp textures. right now I need to make them more smooth.
Edited by CLS_GRUNT on Mar 27, 2009 at 01:30 PM

Whell the banshee looks beutifull the pistol is also awesome and the Spiker looks like some star wars weapon because of the rock/metal like textures (its too much shiny and has a lot more blue color then the one in Halo 3).
In tottal everything looks awesome and since this is just a small part of it i cant wait to see it all in tottal.

I need someone to make me a sky.
*cough* dee *cough*

Update.

Most of the current weapon functions are done. Sniper, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, SMG, and Magnum have kickback and weapon damage as similar to H3 as I can manage. Melees have also been tweaked to have more power. There's a few tweaks that will be made here and there but nothing game-breaking.

I'm not sure how many more weapons Grunt is planning on putting in, but I welcome the challenge. Rest assured the damage and functions of the weapons will be remarkably close to Halo 3.

Overall the tagging is coming along pretty well, and I'm working on making sure the tags are well-organized for when this project is open sourced.

You should drink some water for that cough.

Give the sand less saturation and I need to send you the new AR skin. ^_^

Is the map going to be made a bit lighter?

and is the Spiker going to be one hit one kill?

idk if it's been asked before but are you going to put a frigate in the sky?
