yeah, there've been tons of topics on this already, I know, but still does anyone have the fixed geist tags? or can someone tell me how to fix them?

What exactly is a giest?
I've seen the tags, but I don't know what it is.

basically a robo-drone (sentinel/bugger)

As far as cmt tags go, I always seem to trace corrupted tags down to model_animations.
Look for fixed model_animations for that, that's my only idea.

Can someone post an image of a Geist, please?

Bam.... That's an ugly bugger.




Nodes have been removed so as not to obstruct the image, aside from the two located on either side of the head, designating the eyes. And now, a brief report on the characteristics of this creature (as discovered in 3DS Max).

-Aside from a pair of frontal claws, the Geist sports an integrated Plasma Rifle located along
the underside of its torso, and a pair of running-lights on either side of the abdomen.

-They are capable of generating a protective shield, similar to that of a Sentinal.
(I had to peel away the layers of the shield, as they fully enclosed the model within.)

-The Geist may have functioned similarly to a UAV, as several nodes refer to it as a "robot",
indicating it may not have been an cybernetically enhanced organism, but a mechanized
unit.

-Due to it's light armaments, and the fact that it seems to lack any other visible defensive
mechanisms, the Geists may have been deployed as Sentry or Scout units, tasked with
guarding key locations or alerting Covenant forces to a UNSC presence in the area.

which is like finding waldo within millions of people -_-

HE'Z OVAR THAR! D:<

BLASPHEMY! The Heretic must be SILENCED! D:<

My god. It isn't that difficult you guys.

I fixed it by animating it myself, and I dont even know how to animate

or maybe its just a random creature CMT wanted to put, that was pretty much a sentinel except with plasma.
which was pretty much modeled out of plasma rifles, and some other random object.

I like echo's explanation better, time to make a halopedia page WORT WORT WORT! :p

seriously though if I get fixed anims I'm definitely using them based off his guessed intel

halopedia only allows canon, foo.
your gonna have to go on the halo fanon wiki.

I'm almost tempted to ask how you know that :o

*casts a casual salute in your direction*

Nice to see someone appreciates my informative insights into a previously unknown unit. XD

Does anyone REALLY want my animations then?

fite?

YES

go nuts

(This is for all those people who messaged me constantly "CAN I HAVE YOUR FIXED ANIMATIONS?!?". Now you have it.)

in other words, the animations don't match the model so it won't animate, could you give us the model you were using and the collision geometry so it'll work?

CAN I HAVE YOUR FIXED MODEL AND COLLISION?!? you said to go nuts :/

E: those giests are fugly

badasses are always fugly :p

This is just one thing that proves you wrong.
Unless you think ninjas are fugly

try changing the node checksums, you durp.

who said I considered ninja's badasses?

i didn't

Just FYI, the geist was never finished. That's just a rough model with a five-minute texture job. Ideation, if you will.

LOOK, I WONDER WHO DID THIS http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Geist

i remember seeing a vid of them like a super long time ago... i remember watching yours to... werent they made for huge groups of um?

Yeah, I wanted them to come in groups and swarm the player.

If you really want to bother, there is a fanon wiki for that sort of thing. halo.wikia.com is only for canon.
