so far i am still in modeling. i am making it from scratch so it wont be perfect but it will still have the basic layout of standoff

the hud looks awesome, i love the shading and the detail on the ar too, lovely work guys!

oh man yet another halo 3 hud, never would have expected that. are people still trying to port the experience over after four years?

and as always the visor opacity is freaking terrible. seriously, does anybody even look at halo 3 gameplay before they make these things? why the hell do people keep making visors with a third of the transparency it should have? it's supposed to be almost unnoticeable



fix it. that crap just gets in the way

aweful hostile over a little feedback, don't you think?

but hey if you guys want a horrible visor outline not at all accurate to the opacity of the original obscuring the balls out of your view, you go right ahead. ain't my mod

How is a hud made?

They need to do way instain modder> who kill thier huds. becuse these huds cant frigth back?
it was on the news this mroing a modder in ar who had kill her three huds . they are taking the three hud back to new york too lady to rest my pary are with the modder who lost his huds ; i am truley sorry for your lots

I actually agree with Gane about the h3 hud. I've been complaining about that for a while too.

you're pro at quoting what and how I say things

Jesse keeps redoing the HUD over and over, not me. If it were up to jesse he would release it NOW with crappy bugs and terrible models/bitmaps.

Oh HaloIsAHorribleGame you took out the text where I said it's jesse's, hope you knew this :)

He's right, but you also have to consider that it's against a black background. I'll fix it later.

Fixed.

it may have been on a black background, but it's easy to make a comparison of how much if affected the weapon.

that looks much better, still may be a tad too visible on the bottom half



was commenting on the picture, didn't give two craps about the text

fix the shotgun animations, make it look more like halo 3

Welcome to the world of centered-reticules, different FOV's, 4:3 Full Screen and 16:9/10 Widescreen.

It's not as easy as it looks.

first, what does ftfy stand for?, second. why does everyone on halomaps want me to shut up when i am trying to help?

they won't ever be perfect as the animations are rendered a lower on the screen in the later games, but it doesn't take a genius to know jesse's shotgun could be moved back and up, and it would look much more like they should

I can fix that' it starts with re-origining the animations and moving the reticle down. Then, there is a simple XYZ firing offset you can change in the tags.
It's just inconvertible because people are used to the centered reticle. I would do it for valhalla, but I'm too lazy to move all the sniper reticle elements down...

yeah don't do that. that screws the auto aim.

I'm fairly sure that those animations are mine, with a custom origin by ODX. I'm also fairly sure that I did these animations as a custom animation set rather than a Halo 3 copy (for the most part). They aren't really meant to be Halo 3-ish, and I actually like these origins more than the Halo 3 ones. Unless someone else wants to do a Halo 3 set, I'm sure Jesse is content with these. I really hope no one butchers them and forces them to Halo 3 origins though :]

Yea, they're either mine or teh lag's, depending on whether I remembered to send them to him.

Looks good, I'm so glad Jesse's back and confirmed that he's working on it again, I was losing faith there for a bit.

well if you want to know so bad, you can very easily read his posts from his profile

are you guys blind?, i actually think that i post my work to often. i am starting to feel showoffy and i do not have much to show off because i (at best) am amiture,

more of what?, i have shown you what i have if you want something else. try making it yourself. i mean the only thing i haven't shown you guys is my reach plasma repeater in progress and that i have made the. projectile. for the needler rifle, not even the model of the gun, so if you want to see something tell me what it is, and if i have made it or know i can make it. than i'll show you, hows that to all you unhappy people out they're?

Take it to PM's, if you lock this thread because of going off-topic, oh well, no updates for you

:)

if i may make a suggestion to jesse; uhh the gradient should fade to completely transparent (on the visor) after about 1cm... that would make it seem more like halo 3. take it or leave it im just trying to help :)

The HUD's against a black background.

The visor's not THAT noticeable ingame. It's even less visible in bright areas such as Sandtrap.

Will. You. Be. My. Valentine.

Remember to add a heat radiance to the map aswell, in distances the heat can cause vision distortion. Not needed, but a nice touch, aswell as the reflective material in Sandtrap being lit up when a firebomb, explosion, or the sun glare hits it at an angle.

Yeah guys, you should totally add the ability to choose perms aswell, and dual wielding. You should also add bump mapping on the weapons and bipeds!

Sadly, this stuff isn't possible in CE...

Remember to name things that are actually possible in this engine.

that sounds like something I would have said

I'm so proud of you right now

Almost done with the HUD. I'm in the process of cutting down bitmap sizes, making most things 16 bit, but not while sacrificing quality.

i need to get working on fixing up the bsp for you soon >.> ill get some done tommorow

bottom half stands out quite a bit. put it in 720p, fullscreen, and watched. definitely stood out.
