I don't see how his sexuality is relevant, and I don't understand why you would feel inclined to point it out unless you are homophobic.

Indeed, G.I.N.A.S.F.S.

I think Alpha was pretty justified to be skeptical about the game engine you claimed to have created. Your reply, not so much.

Why exactly does this thread still exist, I don't know, since this is HALO CE discussion, and the very purpose of the thread is to NOT discuss CE, but OTHER game engines.

So far, the best engines I've seen besides Halo CE's (in customizeability), are the CryEngine, Unreal Engine, and potentially Source, although I haven't seen extensive mods of Halo in Source.

CryEngine 2 [CE3 in Nov.] Most realtime, best graphics proccesing., eeasy to use, sucky content pipeline

UDK Unreal = Best graphical appearance, Very hard to use, great content pipeline.

Bets 2 in class, UDK3 is Free, and CE3 will be like $45 [Just buy Crysis 2]

but u can mae money off udk with minal royalty payments(20% above 5k), ce3 is propriatery, so royaltys will be paid if u wanna amek money. rather work in ue3 incase u wanna amke money off ur project later, and avoid the hazzle. and ue3 is kinda hard to use, but once u ge tinot it its easer then most engines, as it imports directly from max and maya :P srry for misspellings in a hurry....

You guys do realise I'm just joking? I dont care what anyone thinks of me honestly "halomaps members"
I mean really if you say something about someone 's sexuality ,then of course then you can expect a few replies questioning your own.

CryEngine 2 comes with Crysis, just buy it and it's on the CD. then download the MOD SDK v1.4, which is free, about 400mb tho. WHAT I HATE is it's export is only max 7,8, and 9. [2005-2007] CE3 will support 10, 11, and 12 [2008-2011]

its a very steep learning curve, like 60 degree incline. but once u learn ti its easier then it looks. for a cgi film ud use the matinee(which is what they sue to make cutscences for games, either prerendered, or "live" as in its rendered out as if u were playing. second option is better quality but might cause some pcs to freak. slayer tak to me on xfire about it. im getting back into udk and such,.

There is one reason why I would stick by the idea that VALVe's source engine is the most flexible mentioned here. It is completely open source. Unlike halo, you can create new mechanics. Weapons are all individually programmed to suit themselves. It's also all done in C++... Thing is, C++ intimidates most people. Also, what makes source so much better than halo's engine, anything that isn't an effect, and is in the "server" sub folder, is synchronized in multiplayer :)

People don't usually use source to it's full potential.

udk cna do mroe then source, tis unreal script is based from c++ but slimmed down. adnm u can do pretty much anything u got ur mind set on. but source is cool too, but then steam ruins it most of the time....damn steam!

Why is that? I am curious what problems you have with Steam and how it ruins the games?

dennis:
steam keeps "loosing" my sp progress files for my games randomly, sometimes literally right when i leave game(even thou its saved) or a week later
i contacted steam and they didnt help
i checked everything on my system to make sure it can write etc
also teh overly randomly lag me
i get 90fps+ on wasteland with a full room ppl going crazy, then i get a drop to about 50...i tested with friends version(nonsteam) at his house, he has almost exact same rig as me(only difference is a bigger fan on case etc). no lagz.

and to abkarch:
the sandbox is a tool taht comes with crysis and crysis 2(as well as farcry and farcry2) that allows u to create levels and maps in the editor, test directly etc, like UDK but no brunt work at start, just make a terrain and start dropping things in

jes...it wouldz. make sure thou that after u install crysis, u go on the iso/cd/w.e and go and install the editor, u have to do it manually. te exe for teh editor wil by in ur crysis/bin32(or64 depending on os) make a shortcut and tada.

Half Life 1 used to be fun..... until it was updated to work with Steam. After it was updated to work with Steam, it lags HORRIBLY. That is what problems I personally have with Steam.

Plus there's the fact it keeps coming up with annoying messages every five minutes.

No offence but seems like your not going to accomplish much...
Just because you can edit the engine doesnt mean much you have to know what your doing.
