this is a popular thread lol. 7 pages.
anyway, i hope to see this as a bsp in the future. like the maw's opening cut scene, right into a part of the dreadnought. this has got to be the coolest looking vehicle in halo lol(to me)

also you said door? does this have parts that are bsp like? (ive never played h2)
and can you send me the tags for that dreadnought you posted? i want to explore this thing in sapien (:

Not the one I was using! Anyway, how close to finishing the skinning are you? Ive also almost completed my map! It wont be long till its done. Its not the best but Im only just getting back into mapping again!

Collision is through tool, Ill just try to get a good pic! (Of course the model isnt skinned).

someone post i need to know whos still here.
Edited by disturbed on Sep 30, 2010 at 05:31 PM

lol i'm still here.

Im here! Dark, Ill pm you the link of the collision!

ok.

whats undone in skinning?

Lol, its all up to dark now!

cool so the collisions good/perfect?

yea the collision is good. i got it in game and it looks great but the skinning isn't complete of coarse. i got a lot of models recently and well i multitasking here lol.

Lol, are you able to get a pic of what you have so far?

ok nice job deathraider. and yeah id love to see your work so far. lol im just now learning to model and its not too easy...

Its easy once you get used to it! Its just boring when you choose a long lasting project!

hey i need some help. i made a new bsp out of bloodgulch. i cant seem to export to jms. i use that jms exported and it gives me some stupid actor error.

here's a vid of what i have so far: http://www.xfire.com/video/37fc97/

Use this tutorial:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2198

This is what I originally learnt from.

Nice work dark! Cant wait to get a hold of the finished product! What sort of map do you think we should make with it?

Edited by deathraider555 on Oct 9, 2010 at 02:03 AM

lol that's one of the one's i started out with too lol. and i don't know what map. maybe a campaign like high charity or a nice multiplayer map at some ancient forerunner planet.

Possibly! We cant go wrong with a campaign!!

Ok cool dark and lol its so small!
thanks for the tut, and i have always enjoyed campaigns.
OK i just tested that and chimp seems to work! thanks. i wish it was written in 3ds though

Lol, its only small for the moment! (That came out slightly wrong)! Anyway, there are tuts out there that are better, but for a fast and small download yayaps is good!

i spent 8 hours on 3 attempts...
lol i think that that hill thing it tells us to do somehow makes open egdes because tool keeps given me errorz

You mean when it tells you to get a hold of the vertices and make kills with them? That wouldnt be the problem...

To find open edges:
Convert model to editable mesh. Select edge mode. Look for the button that says select open edges. Press it, all the open edges in your map will appear.

oh ok. what do i do to fix them? also i just made a map without editing verticies and it worked fine.

It also depends on what you are doing to the verticies. You cant have them overlapping each other, otherwise that breaks the sealed world rules.

what I was trying to do was make hills. every small or large hill i made gave me an error. i sucessfuly made a flat map, with a quality of 0 (testing purposes, right) lol i got mad when it didnt show in sapien then i rememberd a TUT with the raterizer_quality 0 blah whatever. also about the dreadnought, will it be bigger than in the xfire link?
Edited by disturbed on Oct 10, 2010 at 02:44 PM

yea it'll be bigger lol. a lot bigger.

Lol, if he made it full scale and put it in bloodgulch, you would only see the ship!

lol yea you would look up and the sky would be blocked out by the ship.

So hows it coming?

ugh. i won't be able to finish it in time before i leave for the army. i'll give it to you if you wanna finish it. it's mostly done, i did the hard parts i just needed more time to finish the many small details there are. i may be able to continue but it'll be in gmax cuz that's what i have in florida.

*ahem* flash drive

i know that's what i'll do but it'll take alot longer to do it in florida lol. due to the pc over there being unbearably slow (900mhz with 700mb ram and a radeon 7200 graphics card from 2001). not to mention it gets viruses real easy.

oh i see. okee well 3ds has more features but gmax works for everything, not good but works.

It would probably be best if you try to continue it. My laptop is about to die!

lol. yea i leave for florida on friday so i have almost no time.
