I vote retexture.

Halo 1 elite ugly. H2 elite ok but i dont like textures much.

The covenant side of halo is that they get there ass handed to them.
/thread

Ok so i just made this familie shot in sapien,

and yea i vote for retexture too, the ranks can all be done through recolouring the shaders in guerilla, no big deal, ranks solved. the only thing it needs it more detaills, and i don't mean detail maps (the bitmap) but a real overhaul, it can be done later on though

You import the model of the weapon on your back, put it where you want it to be on the rigged biped model, make it a new region, and repeat with all the other regions, creating new permutations.

I vote for the halo 2 one but redo some of the textures.

Then this would be the one with redone textures:


The pink rank, i don't wanna know what it stands for

If you have a better model / texture or so, i'm dieing to hear it (and maybe even get my hands on it! =) )

No Halo 2 Elite >:V

Halo 1 Elite with a retexture.

It's hard to notice the Halo 2 corroded metal detail map that i replaced the default one with, but anyways, if someone wants to reskin it with more details (doesn't have to be CMTish) then that would be great

That's the shader, not the multi. It's in the shader illumination sub title.

"Yes, when you play as a grunt or elite and throw a grenade, it just falls down at your feet, no matter where you are looking."

I recall this happening when I played as an Elite using bump possession in campaign. I saw a video where this was fixed. Look at this video and scroll to 2:42.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7D-6904qY

The grenade toss there seemed to work fine. I'm also okay with not being able to move and throw grenades at the same time. I think that this mod should try to imitate everything the computer Elite do when you fight them. The game should be made in 3rd person perspective and you should have the Elite melee that they do in campaign as well, it's much stronger than Master Chief's melee attack...if you noticed in when you play campaign the Elite melee seems to dominate the flood.

And about how the plasma sword works. It should work and look exactly like the sword functions in that video above. It should definitely have those sword swinging animations...it looks like it would be so satisfying to use. PLEASE don't make it like the halo 2 sword with the super speed lunge attack...that's not in Halo 1. I think that using the sword when someone gets close to you automatically is fine, I think it's interesting. I also like how the melee attack worked that way using bump possession on an Elite.

If I remember correctly the sword in that video above ANNIHILATES the Flood...I remember theres this one part where you're on a bridge and Flood jump from the bridge across from you. Theres a Gold Elite with a sword and if you zoom in you can see him fight the Flood that get in his way. They just get torn apart with one swing; it looks awesome.

fix the hands please oh and the pink elite it stands for the gay homo rank lmfao.

To be quite honest, reskinning the halo 1 elite is nice but not necessary. What matters to me is gameplay and a good storyline. This project wasn't said to be a conversion or of the sort, so I don't think these skins and little details are a primary, nor a secondary, or even a tertiary objective. Of course I wouldn't mind the elite being reskinned, as well as the backpack mod being implemented, but as long as the story is consistent and the gameplay is good, I couldn't care less.

I second that

now, more screenshots:

Hey! My sky!

all im asking is please fix the arms up please thats all i am asking.

BeachParty how long is the cruiser in the background in units. Do you have the model of it?
Edited by k9colin on Jan 19, 2009 at 06:38 PM

Yea, and it's about the size of 3 seraphs


Ask HDoan to modifie his own models if you want


I love you(r work) <3

oh and i just messed something up, bitmap rename error prevents me of compiling anything with the elite model now, i think i'll need 5 minutes to fix that, but its 1 AM so i'll guess it'll have to wait till tommorow *runs a quick check through all files*

that plasma sword doesn't look nearly as cool as the glowy one from halo 1.

You can set how fast you throw the grenades, allowing play as an elite

The one from halo 1 was just pure light, could hardly see a shape in it, it looks more like a beta-beta to me, but if more people think it's cool i'll make some action shots with that instead of the halo 2 sword ^^


Some things from the halo beta looked so awesome, too bad it didn't make the final

LOL PHAIL, i found the problem!

Just a typo! xD

Yeah could you please post a link to where I could find that model. Thanks.

I remember that video.... (Cause I'm the one who made it.)

animating sword be back maybe sometime over week bye yall

That's not the model I wanted. I'm looking for the Assault Carrier, not the CCS Battlecruiser.

wha? it just looks like about the same to me, i have about 4 different big ships, i'll get some screenies now, hang on

i've never seen a support ship like that lol, looks like some vehicle for the flood...
ok then this is the assault carrier, it's just not that big as the one from the campaign





again, before i post this ship, i have no idea where i got it from >.>




Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 20, 2009 at 02:20 PM

So ehm, where were we again? something about the sword, and new textures for the halo 1 elite...



Is this sword good enough?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 20, 2009 at 02:27 PM


I love the jaws, they work lol, except for the cheap teeth but meh, nothing is perfect
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 20, 2009 at 02:31 PM

The ship seems waaaaay too small..

Sword is pefect and so is elite

Maybe we should make a custom UI that goes along with this campaign?
I vote for Covenant Dance as theme song, I can make it into a sound tag if we need it.

Will you add me to the first post now I'm on? =P

The covenant had an AI too, like cortana, the books didn't tell us that much about it, so we could have some freedom in thinking of one, it also helps narrating some hints and stuff on certain points, like cortana did.

I vote for Alma as hologram, since we don't know if it's male or female, lol


Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 20, 2009 at 04:02 PM

I love covenant dance and ui isnt hard so yah plus do you want sarge or beach party as the name?

Halo 1, at the the silent cartographer? i dont remember, but it's a halo 1 album, i got albums from 1 2 and 3 so i have them if we need them ^^

Sarge please, my ingame name is "[BP]Sarge H" (Sargeant Haxor)
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 20, 2009 at 04:04 PM

lol, look at some cortana hent- no nvm, we all know she's female, she's based off dr hasley, obviously she made it female too lol

but i meant the covenant AI from the books



wwwoooooowwww boring skins >.>
