I'll upload the latest version of c40 I have to some random site and send you the link for it, I'll include the script file aswell. As for the rest (scenario tag e.t.c.) you can rip those. My flood tags will probably be in it aswel. Which includes the shielded versions, so no need to to re-make those.

I'm liking the visual effect ideas though. Good job.

As for the scenery, try and get the opened varient of the c_storage, as it would be good for c10. For those of you that dont know, the Covenant were using c10 as a weapon storage area due to its security (lockable doors e.t.c.)

I finished up on the first bsp of c10 last night, and Gamma's working on c40's second last bsp recently.

You mean those covie weapon racks? yea I'll convert those
Another idea could be volumetric light, some scenery objects like on C20 i think has volumetric light attachements, it's funny how we can 'fake' the engine to make it look like the effect is really there xD another thing, I'm working on Physics for Scenery WITHOUT making them vehicles like I mentioned before in other projects, this isn't forge so I don't/shouldn't have to fiddle about that, however if that won't work I'll still make em vehicles, but thing is, I happen to have made 1 object 'interactable' but I'm not really sure what I did, so I'll look into that later again, as it would be really cool to be able to just bash some scenery that's in your way, it would aswell make fun challanges like, puzzels or stacking boxes to get higher, or fill a gap to get accros... oh god i'm talking like some educative game producer D= well nvm the ideas that come with interactable objects, I'm just going to look into that so that objects are moveable like in halo 2, hoping I didn't used vehicles for that single object, wich I stopped using for a reason, I hope not =P
Eye for detail, machinima and projects go well together, they both want to look good
well time to go now, I'll prolly see your pm tommorow, download it then, and be able to post screenies the day after, wow week is going fast hah

Ye, your right, I sent you the pm anyway.

I'll be online later in case you get back online though. Also, when are you gettingy our internet connection fixed, or whatever.

hey if it's done let me know

my xfire is rcghalohell

my nickname is ·ÅŘĶ·Ĺøňęłŷ on xfire

hey i have an idea for this, is it possable that you can make it like halo 3 so if there are corpses or live people get infected by the infection forms, they turn into combat forms infront of your eyes, instead of when you get infected, you just die.

You can find out whent he project is complete here.



Already being done, in a controlled manner however, and not as 'free-going' as in Halo3.

Hunters cannot be infected.

good, caus i hate it in halo when a couple of infection forms kill the elite and im like wtf? how come the elites not turning into flood :(

Yea, sure you were.

well i only played halo 3 for like 1 year and forgot that in halo 1 that they didnt turn in to flood, so im playin halo im just like wtf? turn into flood

Technically for the Blam! engine its not possible, but as handy little script work-around does a pretty good Halo 3 mimic. Note: This obviously isn't a perfect Halo3 copy, so dont expect it to be.

i know

How about a dead one that falls apart, and the worms scatter?

How about an empty hunter shell, which was filled with flood matter?

That would actually be pretty cool.
Make particles that have a bitmap that looks like a worm and they move out from the dead body when it dies.
@Gamma:
An infected elite with Hunter armor :O

i like his idea

Yea, dat's what I'm talkin' 'bout. There's bug particles in one of the campaigns that'd be a good basis

and then after the worms die, get like an infection form in there, and all of the sudden theres a bunch of flood stuff in the armor and it gets up and stuff and uses the cannon and everything

Flood matter cant just spontaneously be created in the armor. There has to be a source of mass, than just metal and a infection form.

*makes*

That would be the bugs in 343GS in the rain. I think the same idea is used for shells.

Wont be really good... The armor of the hunter isnt linked, only by the worms.

they cant be infected because there are just to many of the worms, yet, they can be killed by the flood super cell, but then each single worm will die/mutate, losing the ability to work together, as the flood deletes this minds.

that's true, and the most complete awnser. however, not sure about the gravemind's ability as hyve mind, but yea let's assume they just die.


Damn...


Ok HUD update, I've had TOO much time yesterday, so I remade the Halo 3 HUD's (spartan and elite) for HOURS by hand with a ton of reference =P However you'll only need the Elite one, since I thought we're only going to play as elite... *sob* well atleast I had a very fun time in photoshop =P

Regular:



When low on health:



When you pick up a health pack again, the colour changes back to normal flood colour =P

When receiving damage:



oh uh, I just noticed I forgot to change the damage bitmaps I made with the flood bitmaps i made, I'll make a screenshot of that for tommorow. well it blurs, that's the point =P

Do note, I implented the script to make your screen blur when you're hit, aswell at each heartbeat when you're low on health, just like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, that means, I can't use a constant blur as you won't notice the blur of damage lol, so overlay and health blur it is.

Note, I don't have the elite visor outline done yet, and as you can see I still have to make new weapon meters, aswell as make new gametype icons, however I don't know where they're set, they're not in the unit hud interface etc, i really looked hard =P but just replacing the bitmaps gives warnings on compiling, it works, but I don't want warnings, so I'd like to know where it's set. for now i'll make a placeholder with gore icons lol

So, I'll get some better footage now on the maps, thanks for the PM lone i'll check it out when I'm home.
Oh and, I hope to see those (H2?) Flood FP arms soon

My tags are just... too custom, almost nothing is left of the original halo tags lol
kk time to hit the road and finish the hud, cya tommorow again

Nice HUD but i think the blur effect is too blurry

i think the blur will only happen in like a fraction of a second, or does it like cause blur for like a whole second? if it does, than if you're being attacked by an automatic weapon or constant fire, then won't the whole screen go blur and you'll get seizures? seizures is just a joke

^ and darken the red(When low on health) a lil' bit, 1st, it may irritate the player when hes/hers low on health and the bright red may make the player more panicky*. 2nd, ingame, the flood are suicidal and wont very much care about their health,they'll just charge right into the battle.*coughandgetkilledcough*. So a bright red danger sign may not fit very well in a flood theme.* :/

*this two might be the reason why you made it like that. If it is, sorry.

The HUD is pretty cool actually, you get that pm I sent you yesterday BP?

Also, Flood Hunter, possible to have an hunter armor with biomass in it yes. Also, biomass can grow anywher,e it grew on High Charity's mass, and in the Library. (For those that do not know,t hat is how the Flood originally spread out of quarantine after the Covenant and UNSC arrived, through Flood spores creating biomass in the Library.)

Make the red less visible. It takes up all of your screen.

Hunters cannot be infected.

Wow, you didn't bother reading the last page, did you?

Hunters cannot be infected, but their armor can. Hence, a Flood Hunter.

What if an alien came down to Earth and put on a knights armor, but that doesn't make him a knight, does it?

Why is there even a visor? Its a flood. Adding a visor and the flood stuff just obstructs the vision even more.

Ya true. Unless the flood had a helmet on.

Which they dont. You do know that flood dont see through the host's eyes. But rather through the area where the infected form rests.

I'm quite sure he said it isn't final. The visor will be removed, but the Ammo counter will stay, as people would jsut get annoye dif it wasn't there.
