Only 256 actors can be present on screen.

I find that the post edited thingy breaks the flow of my post, so I usually make it beige. Its not really 'hiding' as I dont care whether people know that I edited, and they are usually just for spelling and stuff anyways... yeah. Not hiding it. Its just so my post isn't broken up in flow on first glance.

So, now what?

You sure? I'm pretty sure in my early days of CE I had made a map with more AI then that.

On screen at one time, yes. Try it in Sapien, and see what happens. I tried doing 300 infection forms for that cutscene a long time ago, and Sapien crashed, giving me an error about how the actors onscreen exceeded 256.

which cutscene?
do you have a vid of it, it would be interesting to see

I removed it a while ago from my YouTube profile.

i remember there being A LOT of infection forms in 343gs. A LOT. are you sure the 256 limit applies ingame too? or is it just in sapien.

actually i remember a while back i messed up a script which causes ai to be continually spawned. there were a lot more than 256, but the newer ones just stopped doing anything. they spawned in their default state and didnt react to any stimuli besides being shot

It's not less than 256 guys. It's less than 256 guys ON SCREEN AT ONCE. Those are the key words here.

um, lol:
thats AFTER i threw grenades

lol

That looks like you were just respawning them. In Halo, not Sapien: not the same. :P

I wasnt doing anything. i turned the corner and saw this. yes this is in halo. thats the question i was asking. does the 256 onscreen limit apply to halo and sapien or just sapien?

i cant even begin to tell you how many there actually were

I cant even begin to imagine the lag.

HMMMM I must say my campaign project has some uber hunters :P

No one shot pistol kills?

Sounds too good to be true.

Are you guys really gonna remake H2? Thats alot of work for a small team.
I'd like to see H2 ui with your SP maps supported

It's not too good to be true yet,it'd be too good to be true if they made it an h3 remake of h2 and added odst scenery to new mombassa.

That would be cool too. How about you guys put in both content from H2 and H3? But with H2s campaign?

this.
put odst weapons too

No guys I hope you understand the thought behinde L0d3x's post,it's gonna be halo 2 levels and %97 halo 2 things only small custom weapons and such nothing that effects gamplay,Also I do have metropolis bsp 1 ingame and textured but it's not finished entirely but If you guys would like i'll make the beta video and post here.



Also a question I must ask what H2 level would you guys like to see done first,the one Im working on at the moment is metropolis,and the other for sure one is the great journey,other than that what would you must want to see?

maybe quarantine zone or sacred icon

they had good replay value, especially seeing flood controlled vehicles

sacred icon was cool no doubt,and so was uprising for some reason??

thats the one playing as arbiter before great journey?
where you have the gravemind teleport you in?
only where there is elite councilors?
and friendly honour guards?
and hunters that fight for you?

so sacred icon or uprising!

someone should just release the bsps so teh public can mod h2 too...

and high charity would be the best to see first imo

How's it coming?

delta halo level was cool

Yea...

Everything is fine,Im doing bsp 1 of delta towers now,and later today or tommorrow im gonna rig and uvw the elite rangers,flood,and redo my brutes and all there permutations do to me messing up something by mistake :/

Permutations?

So there are Brute flood?

I haven't really been following this thread, so could you update the front-page please.

who was wonrg? i just saw the word mutation, brute, and flood, and pieced whatever i was thinking together

Permutation does not mean the same as "mutation".
