I was thinking of a map called Scarab Construction Grounds ;)

Although I cannot design covenant structures, especially the tools. I should talk to Dane see if he can help me in the future.


you can also edit a map and put your scarab in it


Why would I do that. Bloodgulch mods suck.

Most members edit maps other people have made... its pointless. I do not download a single map. That's because they are all rushed and crap. I only download CMT maps if any, because they spend time and make their maps different than all the rest.

Kids also put AI in their maps which no one downloads because AI do not sync so its stupid...

/end

QFT. Mods are only worthwhile if it isn't just a few AI and vehicles thrown in.

where are the lower walkways, that if u shoot down the legs, he scarab will lower done and you can jump on from the lower ramps

They are there, the pic on the previous page shows them.

So Hunter are you thinking of putting the scarab in a map where it is inactive? I don't think there can be many maps with good gameplay while the scarab is a drivable vehicle. Unless its a remake of the battle on the level, The Ark, it will be quite difficult to make it balanced.

Wouldn't the game kill anyone standing on the scarab if it starts crouched and raised up when the driver inters the seat?

The kind of mod that you are doing is different. You are doing a global mod. CMT do the same thing with multiplayer maps and campaign.
Most other people put some extra weapons and vehicles in...

Also. QFT?

I don't think moving up kills you, because elevators work.

Scarab looks great IMO. Hope to see some neat Animations for it.

Well, i saw that a lot of people made vehicles being able to stand on with the use of devices, by attaching them. Maybe you could try that for the part where you have to get on?

Put the scarab in a campaign and make it a A.I

I think most people mis-interperit a Mod for a Screwing around project.

Screwing around is just putting in a few AI and a couple different Vehicles, as Egg said. A "Mod" is something like Battlefield 2's "Forgotten Hope Mod".

A "Mod" is the Whole Game. Not just a Map.

Mod=modification
Anything is a mod, technically.

well, again, a reference to morrowind, mod is short for modification. any sort of modification. morrowind has many mods for it, some ranging from simply changing lighting effects (see dark morrowind and lighting 300 mod) to adding new buildings to a city (see balmora expansion), to all new areas (see Sea of destiny and bloodmoon's slosthium island)
by your definition, gears of war is a mod in itself and bioshock is a mod, seeing as they both use the unreal engine

I noticed how most high graphics game uses Unreal.... but I had no idea Bioshock uses Unreal, I thought they used Havok?

<_< Havok is a physics engine, not a game engine. It probably uses both.

I still don't think Bioshock uses Unreal, I read somewhere that it uses the Shokz Engine

Nope it is the Unreal engine. I just finished playing it a few minutes ago and when it starts up it shows the Unreal logo.

If Bioshock had multiplayer and a descent developer kit, I would move to it if I could add custom bipeds and weapons. I think that game is one of the best I've played. Definitely interesting. Halo CE is still great regardless, especially considering vehicles.

In an attempt to re-rail the subject...
Have you made any changes to the scarab or are you still taking a break from it? Also, supposing you were putting it ingame as a vehicle, would the main cannon be part of the vehicle as the weapon with a gunner seat (like the phantom in extinction) or will it be a separate vehicle all together?

while we are on the topic of engines.
What does everyone think of the new Dunia engine? I love it

(Far Cry 2 Engine)


Couldn't tell ya, I'm just starting to learn Unreal 3's engine. Any chance anyone here works with it? I'm interested in making a Perfect Dark N64 Mod, and need some direction in the weapons department.

Far Cry uses the "CryTec" engine. I think. :|


The new game doesn't.

Turret would work like the warthog turret. And I am not putting it in-game btw. Someone else will be. HaloGuru said he will animate it and if Dane texture sit I might ask him if he wants to put it in-game.

And yes, I am still taking a break from it, havnt got time to model more of it now because mum is moaning at me for being on computer all the time... So I can't stay on for long, And I need to model a Halo 3 Pelican for someone and the Halo 3 Mauler for Penguin.

If Haloguru is animating it, I hope he can get the animations to vary like it does in Halo 3 and not like the Scarab in CE. What I mean is that if the ground is higher or lower, the scarab leg would actually adjust to it and make contact instead of stopping in mid-air.

Should be able to be done with suspension animations, like the warthog; only the scarabs legs are the suspension.

Yea. Halo CE's version of the blam engine does not have foot detection. It generates basic collision using the frame of the biped's rig.

Out of curiosity, do you still think you will be modelling a phantom when your done with this, or would you be preoccupied with the pelican and mauler?
