Actually, I didn't get to join the giant beta test :C

HEY CAT

SHUTUP

THE AR IS TOO POWERFUL

also, lol doctorate in game design would be useless. Recommended is a masters, and at the very least a bachelor's degree.

PS Why go to MIT for game design? Go to a college that was made around that subject or is specific to art.

MIT doesn't have a game design section, just programming and computer science. In fact, the closet thing to game design you will find there is game theory and that's just the mathematics behind games.

if that was an insult at me, well played if not, you confuse me

Well, my brother has Halo CE on his comp now (awesome-nesssss), so I suppose I can play but it depends on when you'd want to test.

Or you can just hand over the map right now too :P

What's the filename? I think I sent myself the wrong map when playing around on your computer with Teamviewer :P

I'm not really complaining about anything, but this does bring up something I've been thinking about with this place.

Nothing ever gets finished. People make these giant threads and hype up their map, but it never gets done. It just gets pushed back and back, then eventually it just gets forgotten.

The only people who don't really do this is CMT, as far as I've seen.

The BSP model is as good as it's gonna get. Still haven't gotten to the shaders as i have sh1tloads of stuff to do. I have to finish the H3MT Spartan and Elite HUD, I've gotta finish up the [ASP] H3 tagset in preparation for the release of Turf.
I have to finish the [ASP] H3 HUD (yes i have to make two).

I have to finish the alternate [ASP] HUD for runoff.

As for Sandtrap, if it's going to be unprotected i need.

New magnum animations (ODX is working on those)

New Sniper rifle animations (ODX is working on those)

Battle rifle... eh not so much but i'd prefer new ones to the leaked [ASP] ones.

Assault rifle... Same as above. or i could use the one gwunty originally planned to use.

Shotgun. ODX has already made those.

Rocket launcher. Needs new animations.

Splaser is already done.

------------------Vehicles-----------

Mongoose. done, though i might re-edit the cam track.

Elefant. I think it's in-game but i'm not sure.

Warthog. Needs new textures.

Chopper was never really going to be made for this.



If the map were to be protected i would be able to add.

[ASP] Assault rifle (leaked.)

[ASP] Battle rifle (leaked but we have a new kick ass model.)

[ASP] Shotgun. (not leaked)

[ASP] Sniper rifle (not leaked)

[ASP] Magnum (not leaked.)

[ASP] Frag\Plasma explosion effects (not leaked)

[ASP] H3 warthog.

My Halo 3 HUD.

mongoose (it's a rip too anyway.)

[ASP] Energy sword (in place of the gravity Hammer.

-----These above were used on the Beta test-----

The unprotected version would honestly probably be crap.

Most of the Halo 3 weapons and tags that were going to be used here are already out there.

The only real treasure would be the BSP.

If i were to protect the map, i would most definitely release the BSP and all the weapon assets that were going to be used for the original Sandtrap were it not for my intervention, because that's what the map was meant for.

This mod in many ways is a community mod, and as you all know, Most of the Halo CE community sucks tbh.

The cool version of sandtrap would have been released long ago were it not for those rippers (Pakar and Magenyoko.)

I could protect the map enough to prevent them from getting to the tags, but why should i bother?

I suppose ill add pictures of what would be on both versions of the map.

Basically I'm saying.

Do you guys want a semi-cruddy unprotected Sandtrap map?

Or a much cooler Protected map? But you all still get the tags from the original.

This decision is too big for me alone to make, so i ask you all.

If you have an opinion, make a convincing paragraph for which action you think i should take, and state your reason why you chose your decision.


Whoah, i just compiled a map using the [ASP] stuff... not good. I'll show you what i mean.


Cod 4 arms, messed up grenades, messed up shield meter\outline, and a messed up motion sweeper.




As for the raw map Gwunty sent me, the HUD is terrible.

Easy dude, protect version, also you can release the bsp of sandtrap, if you need to protect your work fine, if it means the map gonna be cooler that the unprotect one, go.
Edited by Hry on Jan 15, 2010 at 01:10 AM

yeah i would do the protect version.
would you release your hud though, its too f*ckin awsome.

I can't make a 'convincing paragraph' but, since you say that 'the protected version will be better' then go for protection. Rippers will find a way to rip those tags anyway, so there's no point having an unprotected map. correct me if im wrong

*coughs* check your eula.rtf or .txt it says you cant say tags are yours all rights and reserves that shall be compiled is owned by gearbox *coughs* and so what if they do the ce community doesnt give crap out the only one who does is kingfish999.

*coughs* alot of map makers you guys know are rippers or were rippers.

Protected or not, the tags will be at risk of being taken from the map

Keep that in mind.

No, it's an M6G Magnum. The top pic.


Edited by Tuaha on Jan 15, 2010 at 08:32 AM

Just the picture I guess.

Yeah, well. No-one cares about that. Release the protected version.

If you guys don't want others to get your tags don't release </dennis>
Edited by Dwood on Jan 15, 2010 at 07:21 PM

Except you guys complain big time about it when we don't release.

Same here.

Good for you?

I want a release, and whoever is running the show now that CLSGrunt is gone I would love to try the map :)

Why don't you message me on xfire.

I would but I can't get on the internet with my computer right now. D:

(e: Yes, I know that was at Yak)
Edited by Dwood on Jan 16, 2010 at 10:05 AM

So did you finish the textures on the weapons yet?

What weapons are untextured?

FAIL

last time i looked at his screen shots in xfire there was an untexered spartan laser.

I'm willing to do any FP animations that need to be done. I did the shotgun and the laser a while back specifically for this project

Edit: ^OMG MUKI LOL, I WAS TOTALLY POSTING THIS RIGHT WHEN YOU WERE POSTING THAT I HAD NO IDEA I'M SOWWEH D:


Hmm, well, this is my laser (which desperately needs a fixed moving animation):

I believe Spartan094 unwrapped DarkShallFall's skin to it (H3B Model) Of course, it looks really ugly and I pray to whoever that no one ever uses it but me just because I don't want a white weapon when I test junk.

Oh, here's the shotgun too while I'm at it, still needs a reload:



Note: It's widescreen because this is my brother's computer, which kicks ass, and he installed Halo on it, which kicks ass. Give me Sandtrap now, kthx
Edited by ODX on Jan 17, 2010 at 09:14 AM

Jesse will be gone for the next two days. Just a heads up.

That's H3MT's Spartan Laser, I believe.

Laser was crap, specifically the grenade, everything else wasn't too eye-bleeding horrible. I've improved a bit since then, or at least I like to think I have.

But that's besides the point, I'm willing to help with this project if needed. Are there any weapon tags or animations that need done?

Also,



100% agree with this.

• Mongoose camera track


• Tag readjustment. A lot of the tags he has in there are ASP's, or other tags that he can't release publically, such as the magnum animations. One weapon I know for sure that he's going to get reanimated is the magnum. Battle rifle, I don't know if he'll change the animations or not, but one thing that needs to be looked at is the model. And the splazer used here... >.>


• The mines. I'll probably do it for him, unless someone wants to do it for me. I could do it one of three ways:
  

  
   Actual mines. Would take lots of tagging not to mention time, to put them down everywhere 
  
   Script mines. Still would take a lot of flags and trigger volumes, which I also don't want to do 
  
   Kill everything that isn't in the play area. Simplest solution, would take me five minutes at max. I like this one :D 
  
  

  
  


• Weapon balances. 'nuff said


• Alpha's for the HUD. Dunno if he'll redo them for sandtrap, or use a different HUD, but the AR and BR don't count perfectly, which makes me sadface.

This is all I could find from the build I have now, which is probably outdated.

Why bother w/ mines like that in the first place?

Why not?
