along with the other posts, most of them just plain stupid, it seems the only thing that has to be worked out is the textures, making them more fitting the general theme of halo 1.
I will work on that, as that's the only usefull clue I could find.

well enough useless spam to reply to, it's 1 AM here so i'm gonna finish a few models i was working on and hit the sack, laterz

Rawr, Im an emo spider whos gonna eat ur babies

/bored/random rant

BP. Have you asked Lone if we're even using those?

I believe that Lone is on his way over to this topic right now

Lucky I checked my mail before shutting down,
but no, as known for some time, i don't have regular internet so i can't log in at xfire, so everything is through here or PM's like the huds i've sent him.

Hard to ask if there is nothing to show eh? But we'll see, as i've said from the start when i joined this campaign, I make this for my movies, you'll see how, and everything that might help this campaign is nice, but i don't make them just for this campaign. sure, i'll work on the textures, can't be lazy not to finish the textures making them more floodish, but that doesn't prevent me from making the models just because lone says it's not going to be in this specific campaign.

Oh my god, seriously the amount of fail that has been posted recently is jsut damn stupid.

Ok, I'm going to outline a few things, so theres less garbage to contend to.

1) The mod is meant to canonical, that means no flood hunters. (Yes Bp, I knw you offered an explanation, but it seems some people here would rather flame you, so I think its best if we leave it out)

2) This is directed at Bo now: How many times have I told you to cut the crap and stop spamming or being damn sure as hell ignorant to what people post before hand.

3) For gods sake, its a spider, and it obviously needs a lot of work, but does that really give you the right to flame it for every thing wrong? No it sure as hell doesn't. If you want to criticise, then do it in a civilised manner.

4) I'm all for the spider... thing....... but it needs a good bit of work. Get rid of the eyes and the mouth, add tentacles instead, and add spikes to its back.

5) IF and I sure as hell mean it, if we are going to include the hunte,r which I'm thinking of, that model and texture need a good amount of work.

If its not going to be in this specific campaign, then it doesnt belong in this specific thread.

That is why modern weapons dont feel right in Halo.

Hunters cannot under any means be taken controlled by the flood because it's not a single organism. Now if you create a flood that hijacks all of the hunter and basically controls it like a crab head controls a body, then that'd be fine.

Hijack a hunter? Its not a vehicle :V

It seesm this post is being ignored so I'm going to re-iterate what I said.

@DarkHalo: Agreed, unless you have the flood biomass grow all over it or something.

Ok, I'm going to make one thing clear about the flood hunters. Whether we're using them or not, here is the explanation.

THEY AREN'T INFECTED HUNTERS.

They are merely flood biomass grown into hunter armor.

I think the main confusion here is when someone says Flood Hunter, people go "omgz hunterz cant be infected". So how about we come up with an alternate name for the unit instead. And make it so it looks like Flood, ala biomass e.t.c.

Humans are a single organism in general, the bacteria and stuff is separate from what makes you a human.
Also, if its flood biomass thats growing into hunter armor, which is somewhat impossible since lekgolo worms are attached to the armor, then they shouldnt be leaning and moving the same way as the hunter. And there would be no bones in logical places. There would be random bones potruding out of the thing in places where it shouldnt be protruding. And there would be flood tentacles and stuff.

Yes, but Humans are the organism being taken over. The bacteria is living in us, but it's not infected because it can't be.

I agree, for once, I find this stuff just, well, it wont work.

Especially when the spider looks like its wearing clothes.

I already said how he could fix it: No face, replace with tentacles, and the back needs spikes slanting towards the tentacle area.

And, I agree with you Bo about the Hunter, it needs a different posture.

Yes, look at the tank form, it looks like a hunter, but it walks differently, and stands differently.

Ye, I think the original concept for a tank form was the hunter. I think, in this case, a Tank form look-a-like would be best.

Also, after getting some news about said spider. I think its best if we dont implement it.

Ok. I'm going to do this post in bold, so that people read it.

THE FLOOD HUNTER THAT WE MAY USE IS NOT INFECTED. It's merely flood biomass growing on Hunter armor

Also, @ BP's flood hunter. It needs to be less buff, and more flood-like. It doesn't even look like flood biomass, because of the teeth stuff.

SHUT THE HELL UP WITH THE ARGUING. THERE IS NO FLOOD HUNTER.

Cut the crap. Stop the spamming. We are done with the Flood Hunter. It is not being added. If someone says a single thing about the Hunter again, I will delete all the progress I have on the custom single player map. I am quite far. So I suggest shutting the hell up.

Each worm is an individual organism. They work in unison to give the appearance of a single creature.

Oh hai, you have a point man! :O

EDIT: My point is that, if newbkilla's forruner is going in this, you better have better AI then what BP is currently showing. Takeing textures from other places and adding some blood doesnt apply.

Why thank you there young sir :) Point is made, listen to it.

Now, I've been working on this in my spare time. You can obviously tell where I worked, and places I didn't. But this is my first skin.

Get more done.

K.


I fixed a few things up and started a little more.

FFS This. Only this. This has turned from a logical but still exciting flood campaign into a free for all, zombie add-on, Doom 3 fest. It's not even that I don't like the idea of adding new forms in. It's just that half of it doesn't even look flood-like at all (new human flood, hunter/tank thing, spider). If you made the hunter and spider thing look floodified with biomass. yellowy skin, and infection forms in them, they would be outstanding. However, it just looks like you are getting any random freaky model from random freaky games and throwing them into this mod. Not trying to sound rude at all guys, but I think they suck harder than my new vacuum cleaner, if you forgive the pun. ( This rant is only directed towards the most recent flood models that have been added like the human, hunter and spider with the butt-ugly face. The effort itself is still fantastic)

First time the rest of us have even seen those models, so dont complain to us. I've already discussed the problem with Bp, and I'm waiting for a reply by him.

What human form model? I hope your not talking about the Halo2 flood, because, for one, complain to Bungie not us about it.

No not the H2 flood. The one that looks like it has squid tentacles for a mouth. It just seems BP is getting a little carried away.

fnish doing it like that, and when you are done, add more detail. And NEVER use a large round brush at 0% hardness for detail. nooooooooo

And instead of just getting a large brush, doing a couple licks and moving on, add a lot more minor details and scratches.

Oh that one, ye that looks fine to me. Just needs some obvious improvements we've already mentioned.

@Kanine: Wrong thread maybe?

1024 by 1024. Will scale down to about 512 by 512 (2 times smaller)

Wouldnt 2 times smaller be 256?

Whats 4/2 ? Whats 2/1? It's using 2 lol. That's simple math there.

X/2

Lets assume X=1024

Now, here we are with a soultion to this complicating problem.
1024/2= *Drum role*
512
