Infection forms dont see, they sense.

Their tentacles arent for infecting.. but to ''see'' through.

As seen in halo 3, they use their pointy heads to infect, not their tentacles.

Wrong in so many ways.................

Even if this was true, try and explain a logical way to replicate this..

Their tentacles are like knives, described in Halo: The Flood. A flood used it's tentacles to cut Master Chief to try to burrow into him.

The tentacles cut a hole, but it goes head first.

Basically. Small update: All the bsp problems on c40 have been fixed.

Hmm I've compiled the map you've sent me lone, it's good you used standard tag structures so that I could seamlessly compile it.
However, this morning I tried to rush my flood models in, but the map crashed on startup, so I couldn't take any screenshots of the finished HUD.

On the bright side, I'm done with the Halo 3 Elite HUD, finished the Visor Outline and the grenade icons. =D yea I'm happy.

Oh and, I also finished the RADAR, it now is also put into perspective AND I fixed the radar sweep, that pulsing ring, that most people forget to fix and/or is just too hard, as it really is hard to make them fitting =P but it's totally H3 now.

However, Still not done with the weapon part, I changed the icons to halo 3 icons, but the ammo counter still has to be put into perspective.

There are 2, or 3, logic things going on here:
1 The flood uses the suit functions of the host, thus using the HUD aswell, as they can 'sense' the whole body, they can see what the host sees too, thus the HUD
2 The flood itself, doesn't see the HUD, as they 'see' through the tentacles
3 People here don't like the ammo counter on the gun itself, and don't or won't just look on the gun itself wich often carries it's own ammo counter (plasma rifle for example, got markings that fill when heatinh) so they want half of the HUD but not the whole thing.

My suggestion? Just go with the thing that the flood can also 'see' what the host sees, as they can use the rest of the body anyways, and why not just use the whole HUD instead a part of for convnience? It's all or nothing =P

So, I'll try fixing the models next hour because I'll have 2 hours off, so I can rush home to take some screenshots of the H3 Elite HUD and post it here.

So expect Screenshots in 2 or 3 hours from now.

For everyone saying Hunters can't be infected: It's called Halo Custom Edition. It's always fun to have something new, and it doesn't have to follow canon directly.

@BP: Woah, you've been working hard...

*hufpuf* I'm back!



This is the elite hud, you can't really see the H3 radar well in this thumbnail, just open the source of this image, or just play the map lol. The stuff here is drawn over by hand from h3 screenshots, so it can't be much more accurate =P still working on the weapon meters

The visor is wrong. Elites dont even need a visor overlays. They dont have a helmet like a Spartan that blocks their line of site. And even if their was something blocking their site, they wouldnt have a translucent visor, but a whole obstruction all together.

lol. Maybe you are right. but i just made this theory up in 5 secs, based on the facts they dont have eyes, and dont use their spines to infect :P

But on halopedia i also read, that those spines re-connect the hosts nerves to the flood infection form, wich takes full control once that happens.

Hmm, how do they see then hmm xD

Dayum straight he has been.

@BP: Good work, try and get pictures of the flood ai in action, but damn good job man.

what can i do to help, i wanna atleast to sompthin

Hey nice HUD, but how is your FEAR 2 HUD going?

This actually is right. But, we can use the loopholes in canon to make up an explanation. Since elite's are so vastly superior to us, they might be able to customize their own HUD, just like how we are doing it right now.

I dont really agree with that :P

They are superior in military plans, and physical strenght. Yet, their eyes are the same as ours, exept they got them from the side of their head :P

Are you blind, stupid, ignorant, or all of them?

'

Plus bungie puts those in for the visuals, if it would be realistic the you can't look through visor outlines but rather be opaque, this is HALO, and I based it on halo 3. gtfo, now.

I've redone the elite outline and made it more transparent, added a thicker line etc. etc. again, this is still beta/WIP so you're going to see different things later on.


Not going to be used here, but almost done.

If the HUD is not going to be open-sourced, can I use it in Keyes Assault? I dont mind when it's done since its still in the modeling stage at the moment but it would look good. Also is the mod going to be open-sourced? I dont mind if it is, but I just want to know since when it get released; alot more bloodgulch mods are going to made using these weapons and such. >:(

EDIT: sry MF Boom for the PM about canceling Keyes Assault ( :O ) anyways i was kinda pissed at the moment. Though if you havn't done so if you you dont want to you can delete the file anyways

You mean the Halo 3 HUD I made? I'm going to open source it when it's done, it will also be used in CLS_grunt's sandtrap (yay he asked for it xD), so you can get it from there when it's done too
I'm not sure about the FEAR 2 HUD, like my crysis HUD, I'm going to use them in maps rather then just throw it around to be used in unlogical halo mods =P

I was talking about it in real sense. Either put a Visor in there with full opacity. Or take it out.

It's not your mod. It's their mod. They can do what they want, whether it makes sense or not. So stop making demands. If you don't like it, then don't play it.

I am quite sure you would feel bad if indeed he was blind, however asking the other two questions is more a reflection of your mental acumen than his.

Statements like this are not the way to keep the discussion civil.

Agreed.

Also, BP, you still didn't answer my question. Did you get my pm's, and also, pics of more stuff in-game when you can.

E1: Also:



Thanks for the support, at least you get it.

idea @ Flood Hunter

You could just use combat form if you wanted to keep to the canon and have slow moving close combat. The problem is that it cannot use projectiles, unless you made a custom flood combat form which encapsulated both.

This is looking great so far! I can't wait. lol. Well... is there going to be any updates soon? I know i'm pretty much begging but it looks so good.

As soon as BP takes pics of the new parts (new being, not custom bsp) of c40, you know the bits you haven't shown yet ; )

use this song in like a hogrun or sompthin :), caus it would be realy epic somewhere in the campaign:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMyIG2EKPoE

I dont think we'd use that song, and even 'if' we were going to do a hog run, we'd just use a pretty fast beat song, or the drumrun again.

aww :(
i like that song

I think they want it to use projectiles.

I think they're already doing that.ARE YOU!?!?!?

No.

^lol

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Anyway, small update. Thought I'd let you play around with this, just forsome fun until the next few pics or whatever is uplaoded. We've added a part to c40, entitled "Gauntlet". no its not a new bsp or anything, its part of the old one. Well, have fun guessing what it is ; )

Warthog Run?

Probably not, because we haven't gotten flood into warthogs. Unless you mean watching a warthog run over a bunch of flood.
