not much of a feat.

Keep in mind i am more of an amateur. And i am sure someone probably already created a better one but i wasn't about to wait for it to be open sauced and I really do not like the Halo 1 health pack so, voila, I changed it.

You are right though. Not much of a feat.

And Xel, i don't blame you for wanting to wait to judge us. Just don't judge us wrong prematurely.

Ok I will get my HEK fixed ASAP and help you guys as much as possible.

Projectiles need less tracers...

Map seems unbalanced.
If there's only 1 way into the base, and it's completely open to the defender's fire, how is anyone supposed to attack the base?
Also, from what I see, it's basically the base, a hallway and a center room, mirrored on the other side. That doesn't make for very interesting gameplay, since all the combats will probably end up in the center room. Add at least 2 or 3 ways into the bases that the defenders can't cover so well, and make side passages so that not all the battles are funneled into the center room.
Try making the passages interconnected so it's more circular gameplay instead of what you have which is basically a line.

I have already thought of that. And keep in mind there is much more modeling to be done. Each base needs to be scaled up about 150% because i think my reference models are not the correct height. It was supposed to be more like a 15 foot ceiling in there. Also, thee is more modeling to be done. We just compiled what we had at the time for the base and storage bay just for fun. As i said before, this is not the map. It is merely a few aspects we had completed.

You will be seeing a huge change in the bases i have been thinking of such as the stairs being wider and having rails, and I also hope to put in some computer consoles and make the windows have breakable glass.

Oh and SiMuLaCrUm, the weapons are just from halomaps. I did not make or edit these tags. http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4750

before you guys post suggestions on the map, look at the concept art on the ModDB page, it HAS more tunnels, they just aren't created yet

This.

lolwut

I have the swine flu atm, so this has been my only visit in a while.

I am going to populate it, once we have a final BSP, we have weapon modelers and animators, and we are making 2 other maps, one done by another member, so it is not ALL slash

New concept for a weapon i hope to get our weapons guy to do.
Keep in mind here. I am no artist. I was just bored in my 4 HOUR LONG Psych. class today. Ugh! I hate college.


Edited by eliteslasher on Oct 29, 2009 at 12:05 AM

Trust me. Not the psych class i am taking. Once a week. 4 hours. And way more than i would ever want to know.

Any thoughts on the design though. It is just rough and we may change it, but we'll see if our weapons guy even wants to do it.

It looks ok, should be easy to tag, but good luck getting someone to model covie for you.

Nah it's only Covie architecture that's beastly annoying to model. That weapon will be a piece o' cake compared.

Lol Is this thread really dead?

Sad :(

Not anymore :|

That weapon Idea I had, Ryan found a similar one that was actually going to be included in halo originally but never made it. It was called the gravity wrench.




Also. After watching some old videos of halo beta, I saw that the rag doll effect was used.

WHY THE HELL WAS IT NOT IMPLEMENTED!!!

Ok thanks for answering my question :]
Edited by sos on Nov 24, 2009 at 03:20 PM

Lack of good physics engine.

Death animations > Ragdoll

Ragdolls are neat but they are not that great yet, there is alot of issues with weight in ragdolls.

true, but it is more realistic than masterchief flailing his arms wildly and curling up in a ball even after already dead.

BTW

what does anyone think on this. It's a heavy duty electric cable coil texture I am trying to get ready for a map. Crit please!


Edited by eliteslasher on Nov 25, 2009 at 03:34 AM

Well that's the point. Does the texture look realistic though or does it need anything changed?

Looks ok I guess. Nice job on the tiling though, I wouldn't be able to do that without really visible seams.

Looks good, not like your going to be looking at it alot though if it's just a cable. Like others say make sure to have a good bump (if its bsp material) or a good multi if its scenery.

There are some tiny seams but for the size of the cable, you would have to be looking through a sniper at close range to see them so I am pretty happy. I will still try to get them out though.



Bumping that is rough though. I'm having trouble getting a good bump render. Looks pretty lame right now, but I think I know what my problem is so I will try to fix it. Also, it may look better in game anyway.

Thanks for crit guys!
Edited by eliteslasher on Nov 25, 2009 at 12:31 PM

when rendering in max you need to make a good render for your bump too look good. if not, sometimes it'll look bad. also don't use the nvdia normal map filter, thats only good for detail bump maps really, which in this case you can't do in ce.

hey guys, not to much PUBLIC progress lately, but some behind the scenes modeling has been done, for some more info, we update this page

http://www.moddb.com/mods/ryan-c-designs1

also, as slash said he is sidetracked with crysis, so no bsp modeling at the moment

That looks like an idea I had a while ago... hmm, I hope it turns out nice.

the map or the weapon?

It seems like eliteslasher is the only person working on this mod...

Well, we also have some work going on with weapons that I am not involved in. Also, Ryan has been doing some contacting of friends to see if we can get some decent tags in the map other than the ones we currently have. Actually, due to me getting Crysis, if anyone has been slacking lately it's me. LOL!

I have Qwerty working on the HUD, Halo3Noob is handling the BR, SOS gave us an SMG, Geared is doing other weapons, Jesse is gibving us some tags, and I am doing all the population of the maps, including the Guerilla work, and we already have a good and working AR, Beam rifle, pistol, and SMG

so no, Slash is NOT the only one working on this, just the only one working on the BSP's

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff- why did you say i was on the team, i told you like 9 times im not, im just helping you model some shiz >.>
