Hello, this is CodeBrain, and I was going to make a team for Halo Custom Edition. It was going to be called: HCER Team, which is a acronym for "Halo Custom Edition Revival".

Anyway, about the team...

I sort of need members for it. However this isn't your usual team, such as:

For this is meant to be for the revival of Halo Custom Edition. Sure, I may sound like a fool now, but seriously, look into it.

Halo CE is dying (Not with patch 1.00, however most of the times people are playing stock maps.) I had a theory. "If someone people made a really kick-ass map, which had custom, and original content, plus had very talented members, the community would be a better place.

Now, that sounds stupid, I know. But think for a second. CMT strives for making custom content, for all to be awed at. This is kind of the same point.

Techically, the team isn't "set in stone" yet. I need a couple of people first...

1. Modeler (This would be the spot for modeling certain objects/weapons in the game.)

2. Animators (For animating the modeler's stuff)

3. Artists (Usually this means people who can use Photoshop, to make textures for Halo.)

4. Scripters (In case we do a SP map, or a MP map which requires scripts)


That SHOULD be about it.

Now I bet you are thinking "HEH THIS KID HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING / GETTING INTO" Maybe I don't, maybe I do. All I know is, we need something that brings Halo CE back to the good old days, back when everyone was on it, having fun beyond imagination.

So, if you would like to help, Please either post in this thread, or PM me your "resume" for a spot.

Also, if you are going to spam, I recommend you don't.

Thank you for reading this thread, and I hope we can work together in the future.

Edit:

We now have a list of people. Here they are:

Gamma927: Scripter/Campaign Designer
Scrables_the_DeathDealer: Artwork
High Prophet of Regret (Modacity): Unknown (Likely to be Campaign Designer)
Sierra117: Scripter
Sabre: Tagger/Populator
Mythril: Particle/Effect Maker
l283023: Animator/Rigger/Artwork
UnevenElefant: Animator/Modeler/Tagger/Scripter
Geared: Weapon Designer
Polamee: Scripter/AI Manipulator

want to revive the game? fix the community. people are too hostile nowadays, and all the knowledge is getting passed on less and less due to people being overly protective. I'm not advocating no map protection, its just that knowledge should be passed on freely with no insults and put downs.

hai i r gud modderz i can join teamsz :D :D :D :P :P :P

Its been the same since 03. If you want to know how someone did something, ask and they will tell you. The only thing different now that back then is map protection.

Good luck Codebrain. Hope the idea works. =]

i can do scripting. But im a bit busy atm, so for now i can be a backup. Like overviews and such.
And beta test (if you want beta testers)

EDIT: i wanna be a hero :D

Just so you know, Halo Custom Edition wasn't realeased until 2004 :L

http://pc.ign.com/objects/692/692670.html

But halo pc was, guess who was modding it back them. Its still essentially the same community.

fixing open edges is not that hard.

It might have good gameplay for a good ol game of snipplers, but it's not showing off any impressive modeling. Looks like I see alot of extrusions.

Em. Extruding means coming forth, into. Most of your things there are extrudes, and the rest is flat.

master cheef didnt i told you in the wip opic how to fix open edges.....

thats 1 of the way's to fix open edges

Intersting concept. Though I doubt any map will ever revive CE. Its just too old D=

That main problem is in my opinion, Humanity.
Hell, I doubt that even half of the people who play Halo custom edition (On 1.00 at least :p) know that they can play custom maps or know where to get them. Its easy to see this- Just look at the number of servers playing stock maps.
Since well, most people are on 1.00 we need people to maybe "educate" them on it.
So, missionary gang anyone?

Lez get em boys

In my opinion. If Zteam gets done doing there magic. and SOMEONE finishes at least ONE halo 3 map. In addition the map will be VERY good, and on top of the we would have to advertise this sort of stuff. To make people go " Omg, I better go check this out! Halo 3 in CE wtfeck? *GASP* Look at how cool Zteam's crap is!"

Besides that, really if you want to revive CE. You need to advertise some form of eyecandy and actually RELEASE stuff. I.e: work on ONE map instead of like 50 at once. Then release + advertise.
If people have NO IDEA about halo CE then of course they won't play it.

Halo CE is pretty old right now in terms of pc gaming, i dont see how you can really advertise it well enough to get a large amount of new people here, even though we are getting some new people here. the problem is since making good ce maps takes such a pro touch, and the big projects like halo 2 or 3 maps take so long people just move on.

Just do your best to make a great map and hopefully alot of people will play it.

Another way is to take a cool video from CE, and post it on YouTube, giving it all the video tags of the most popular Halo PC mods. Then the comments will be filled with "OMG WHERE R I GETZ THIS", and soon, they'll be able to enjoy the benefits of CE.

this. I'll bet that's how half the people here got into CE. I got into CE because I searched "driving pelicans in halo 1", researched the source, found some cool (noobish weapon mods) maps and got interested.

This.

^that. I found out how by modding halo demo for mac.. lol.

Lol. I like how you hurt my feelings inadvertently... I was mainly trying to focus on the fact that there is not a lot of Halo CE advertising going on with most teams.

But yes, a video with all the newest "fashionable" mods, maps, etc. would suffice.



INADVERTENTLY *ECHO*

Plus a super long list of FAQs of where to dl Halo ce... etc... for the youtube nine year olds.

should make a really intense sp map. With some air, vehicle battles. and make it nice and long, so you dont get bored because you always finish it in 5 minutes. Like with the stock tags plus a few custom.
btw where here is Codebrain anyway?

Probably checking modacity instead of here :P

Probably not, since we all shot this down lol

I am here, I just wanted to see what the community wanted to say before I posted.





Alright, you can do artwork Scrables, you make fantastic art :D



Hmmm...Sounds like a plan.

:D

Yeah, still waiting for more people.

Technically I am waiting for more people to come, however if no one comes, then we will have to make due.

I will PM the current members listed with my IM account.

I can tag and populate, I'd like to help in any way I can :P

Sure, I guess that will work.
