I am very out of touch with Halo CE since I haven't messed with the HEK in a long time. So I am re-learning A LOT. Edited by OrangeJuice on Apr 21, 2016 at 01:58 AM It might actually be good to explain it as you are learning it, that way you would be more thorough in explaining the material. Really you could be anyway, but it would help in remembering more about the individual steps. Edited by MrCool on Apr 21, 2016 at 06:56 PM

I plan on using visible-only index gifs, dot-matrix color schemes to save on file sizes where detail isn't needed in a graphic, etc. But after all, a compiled HTML file is literally a website in an 'LZW compressed archive' thingy. So it shouldn't be much bigger than an ebook. Since there is a lot that I have never actually tried doing with halo anyways. Never made weaponry, Never made bipeds, Never made a GUI or HUD, Never customized the rasterizer(though this looks easy enough), etc. I just make bumpmaps and level geometry. So I do lots of research when adding to this helpfile. And on top of that, I'm only creating the markup right now. Just generating lots of empty HTML files, placing folders, rearranging folders, messing with the css stylesheet in notepad++, I only wrote that one Tags Overview.html as a proof of concept of how I would be explaining things Still coming up with folders and topics to stuff into it though. I know I plan on putting a some other folders in the navpane: Engine Behavior +++ globals.globals And its importance +++ Heads Up Displays +++ Menu Interface +++ Rasterizer Behavior +++ String Lists +++ Font Rendering Technical Overviews +++ .gbxmodel +++ .model_animations +++ .physics (probably needs a folder with lots of de-complicating -_- ) +++ etc. You should think about making it easy for others to add stuff. I personally believe there should be a single repository for all of the worlds' tutorials (halomaps world ofc) I'd personally fill out the HUD section and various others.

Because the .chm I'm working on is made of tons and tons and tons of these .htm files. But sure? (I'm not a programmer, maybe collaborating is as easy as just making html files? ) EDIT: What if there was something of an ...online.. version of the HTML help workshop(chm maker) where multiple users can edit it at the same time, like with google's office suite? Here are some example images and a good guess at the filesizes: If anything, a complete version of this helpfile might be no bigger than any of the maxscript addons that halomaps.org hosts. This HUD element is 3kb. I can remove the gradients and relegate it to solid colors to make animated GIFs of it at the same size(maybe) And this file is a little bit less than 1.9 Kb Edited by OrangeJuice on Apr 22, 2016 at 06:03 PM

We're all immature 14(+4 for legality's sake, M rated game and all that) year olds. Every last one. Always have been, always will be. Probably. As far as your stalagmites, to keep them from becoming staLAGmites, just do a texture thingummy like Jesse mentioned.

Or put a nice looking texture on a plane, inject it with lots of vertices that match up with the ones on the original, connect those new vertices with the create-edge tool, then stitch it onto the original stalagtite.

R93_Sniper Joined: Feb 13, 2011 When in Doubt, RUN!	Posted: Apr 26, 2016 06:46 PM Msg. 8428 of 9951 Like where the idea is going but I gotta agree with flanker. Try fleshing out what you want to do with it and see if you can go from there. An interesting idea would be to make the outer walls similar to the TnR hallway walls, that covenant shell stuff, and then make the top level a hex floor with strips to highlight and accent the important areas (Banshee pad + Teleporter). Unless you want to go forerunner, where you could complicate the outside of the wall a bit and go with more matte gray/grey colors and spice it up with lights and trims
