If that's too much information, I just can't wait for you to get Halo 3. Marines get infected in real time.

Yes I do. But it dosen't work that way.

Mind sharing it? Sounds interesting.

Pseudocode
Sleep until the elite's shields are down
Create new elite with sword
Attach the two elites
Detach
Erase the guy without the sword
Play "rawr" sound

"shivers"

You tell me. I'm using the same concept here.

is that kinda how you did the dual wielding as well gamma?

No...

Because everything we do must be perfect. If you really looked closer, you could see that the chest pouches disappeared off the new marine, because I forgot to restrict permutations. It's obviously not perfect, and I never stated it was perfect. But it works, which is what's most important. There's only so much we can do on this engine.

Nasty? I didn't intend it to be nasty. I was expecting you to tell me that it was terrible, which you do on a daily basis, I might add. I just responded with an explanation as to why it was like this.

Back ontopic: With some help from Elefant, the map will now include a prophet hologram and elites dual wielding swords.

Should have checked into this thread earlier.
Its nice. I would have said you are aiming to high, but you have some of the best of the comunity behind you (buy hey, CMT). I hope this map ACTUALLY gets realized (hmm gamma)

I have no idea what you're trying to hint at here. He's obviously realized his map, as he's planned it out very thoroughly. I've also realized many of my own maps, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

hmmm

Sooo, polamee, Did you notice that mp2spmt members are halping you out?
btw i made a cutscene 200 frames atm, im gunna try n get to about 250-400 frames in the final product. The biped in the cutscene is using the h3 beta spartans bone rig which i hope we are using for our biped.

@NinjaDude: I am not aiming too high. It is within my ability to script the stuff mentioned in the first post, plus L28 is already working on the pause menu. I have all the tags I need but the energy sword.

@Shade: Great. So you're helping me animate bipeds, not just dropships? And the only MP2SP members helping me are you and Elefant.

Fine, I see how it is *cough* scripting help + HUD *cough*

While I was typing that, you hadn't offered me the HUD. Plus, the scripting help you offered was a little irrelevant as my question was phrased a bit awkwardly.

My answer wasn't though :smug:

Nah, it's k. I'm just joking about the credit.

Dood elefant is a beats with animations and other things.. One question i do have though.. Since there is a new dev mode is this map going to be those types of maps that, whenever u put in like "deathless_player" or something it screamss nooo and kills you? or is it goin to not have that so people can find some way of extra fun with it?

BTW: Still a great map Idea Polamee

I'm not sure...if I add it in I'll probably simply disable the cheat whenever its used; I will disable devcam, however, since I'm adding in skulls that can be found in weird places. Skulls might include:

Blind (disables HUD and crosshair)
Overpowered (Adds more enemies to each battle and reduces allies, Legendary only)
Thunderstorm (AI rank increased by 1, pending removal)
Windfall (gives infinite resources, Legendary only)
Infuriation (AI will berserk upon seeing you, Legendary only)
Mass Suicide (All Grunts are now suicide Grunts, Legendary only)
Assassins (Greater amount of stealth elites, Legendary only)

Not all skulls will make it into the game, especially thunderstorm, since it requires a huge amount of work.

I'm thinking of scrapping my work on Snowtorn cove and changing the BSP to a30 Halo's, what do you think?

The fact that you're changing BSPs means that you haven't thought up a full level plan that you're comfortable using. I'd suggest you get the level idea in place first, and then develop the concept. After all, what use is the concept if you have no level plan?

I already had a level plan, which I am now considering scrapping. Why? Because the general idea will still be the same (in fact it'll be better in a30): get into a forerunner structure and find out what the Covenant are doing. In STC, there was supposed to be an energy shield blocking the entrance into the tunnel, and you had to deactivate two Covenant terminals, one at red and one at blue base, to lower the shield. Now, there are three terminals, each near a forerunner relic on a30. Deactivating all of them will cause the shield to lower and you'll be able to enter the tunnel.

Aw i rely on dev some more on harder difficulties so i don't worry about reloading.. as for a30 i think that's Halo level if i remember right.. but if the forunner structures are used to deactiveate shields i like the idea, plus i like it more because of the room for the level..However where would this prophet go?

EDIT: What's STC?

STC is Snow Torn Cove

Geez i Feel dumb now...

Hmm, I Polamee, Do not delcare this as a mp2spmt project! if you feel you should (its probably best if you did), delcare it as an mp2spmt project when its ready for testing, so we have no Large problems in the way =) . Also, i dont think using an already made map is the best idea, If you could make some level concepts, i can model (outdoors only), but im nut gunna model any structures, cos im nub at that =) . Also, if you want me to make some cutscene animations, i suggest you discuss to me about the Choreography of the cutscene, cos i dun wann a cutscene where i dont even know what im doing!

I can't find a modeler; I can't model, so thus I'm stuck with using a30. I would've liked more complex forerunner structures and more small areas, but we can't get everything we want. the only thing I'm getting you animate are dropships, nothing moar.

As for the Prophet of regret, you never fight him, he only appears in cutscenes inside the forerunner relic and makes a few announcements. When the Elites realize you have shut down the shield systems, the commander orders the prophet to be escorted back to High Charity.

I like the idea, and by the way, a30 is my favorite SP map

Update: I've gotten the starting cutscene working quite fine, working on the drop sequence now. Elefant sent me the shielded Wraith and is now working on my hologram. Generally, things are coming along quite nicely.

Good. There's a simple answer for you.

Sweet Dood

Answer for...?

Expect a teaser trailer of sorts soon - it will show parts of gameplay and the starting cutscene.

:D excited.

Best hopes! :)

he is right, Ma5B was though
