Already talked and nagged him about it.

He's too stubborn and says no.

If the weapons have different animations but keeps the same style I see nothing wrong???

Considering there really isn't a need and all it comes out to be is a waste of time and efforts, why bother? And considering you have your "top secret" project or whatever, so its not like you'd finish animating all the weapons in time that the first map would be complete.

It's not a waste. People would appreciate the map more.

Why appreciate a bunch of halo 3 copies?

you know i like the classic weapons but i like um with new skins :D

why not like this? idc if the anims change or not but i would like to see this :D you could use the same pistol damage.

Thats pretty cool

Have you ever noticed this though?

We are the only mapping team that isn't focused about creating new assets. Almost all big CE projects is about custom crap. Why can't people be content with the things they are given and try to build something nice out of it? Thats what we've been doing.

Most people have never attempted to make a decent full length SP level, with good gameplay and a good story, with new environments. The entire "TMC vision" (TMC = tm campaign) is what we started out with. We as a team can create something fun, with a new story, while using what was given to us.

Me and Lodex are the leads on this operation. Have you also noticed that neither me or him have never taken anyone criticism but our owns pretty much? With a SP level we already know whats good or bad about it. What we says go's.

Custom animations are not on the list and I wouldn't care if the map got any more appreciated from it. There useless to have and the default animations are fine.

ya lod3x + you + tm = ftw :D

erhem, lemme offer this as a rebuttle, does the word CUSTOM in Halo Custom Edition mean anything to you?.................................at all?

Guys I really wouldn't worry, the levels look really fun even without the custom weapons. Putting custom weapons in at this point would just break the gameplay they've been striving to achieve since the beginning. Besides, the focus should be on how much fun the game is, not how shiny the content is.

fun games have shiny weapons and bots

Assuming they finish this, then let me ask you: are not new environments, new game play, a new story in a new single player level not considered custom?

So many of the people working in HCE today are more concerned with new weapons and making HCE look like some other game that they not seeing the forest for the trees. People get so focused in the single weapon or vehicle they forget to figure out how it will enhance game play. They miss the whole picture.

Don’t get me wrong I am not telling people to NOT make custom weapons and stuff, but so far a lot of the maps that have been made are shoddy because the maker spent all his time trying to stretch the limits of the game by making some widget or other and overlooked how it will actually fit into a level. Many times you can tell there was no overall vision and just stuff crammed into it. I can usually tell as soon as I spawn before I can see anything when there is the crash of vehicles spawning from a script. It is the tell tale sign of a map not well thought out. To say nothing of picking up a weapon and getting new hud.

It will be refreshing to see a CUSTOM campaign that has been given a lot of thought.

Yeah, like 20 mins before. :X

I would because I would have motivation to do it. And I don't see how you need to care about the time and effort, since it'd belong to me and not you so therefore you wouldn't be affected.

And it's not a 'Top Secret' project, it was just something I haven't really said publicly what I'm doing yet but as of current I haven't done much because I'm lacking motivation to do it and Sandtraps seems to be drawing me in now.

But I'm done nagging you on it, carry on :]

Well seeing as Dennis is supporting this whole thread, this whole forum, and the entire collection of Halo maps you find on this here site all with his own pocket money...

I would think he reserves the right to play the map and enjoy it before everyone else gets their hands on it.

I would think that's up to the creators of the map.

When they want to upload it, it's not.

Being first is not everything as a matter of fact it's not anything at all. Being first to play a new level is no different than being second or last because the enjoyment is in playing the level not being first. All that counts is that it is first for me why should I care if others have played it before me?

Pride. Of a 14 year old.

Because we feel inferior.

...The team gets to play it first

I don't care! I never did...
Maybe a little..
DAMN IT RELEASE.

uconfused?

FIRST!

i want a update on the mp maps :P

Regular ole update of Lumoria.

New screen shots of new parts of the levels:







Thanks to our newest member Massacre, we have these lovely screen shots.

The level is pretty close to being done; that is, gameplay wise. At the moment, the level has about 30 minutes of gameplay on normal (regular Halo level has about the same).

We are looking for talented 3rd person animators who can give there helping hand. If you are one, and you want to work on Lumoria, we'd like to see the following from you:

Qualifications:
Experience with the HEK, and importing animations
Can animate decently (Show us a video)

PM me or add me on xfire, or aim, which both can be found on my profile page

We'd also like to say that tomorrow evening on CE3, you will be seeing the first gameplay footage of Lumoria. Stay tuned!

Dude, please make a tut about modeling Caverns with Stalactite well. Also, y'all did a good job on population (not AI).

Pre Halo :o

The only person I know of that has done 3p is teh lag. I would volunteer, but I have no experience with 3p animations for Halo(I can do 3p animations though).

Then PM me or add me on xfire or AIM. You dont need experience for Halo, but it is recommended.

i want the cliff bitmaps :D

Screenshots look awesome. Now I have new wallpaper!

I can also say that Lumoria will be the 2nd thing shown in CE3 and the gameplay is looking good. Rambo lol!

lol a dead crewman??
