Question: Since this just changes the bitmaps that the game displays, cat the original bitmaps be used for custom shaders and Result in the same product?
I'm not entirely sure about how this works... it's the only question I have.

No, this is love. It's true.

I'm pretty sure this thing "mod" is only temporary...

how bout the water, its uglyness stands out

I was skeptical at first, but after seeing this, I just want to see that you are doing a great job reinvigorating such an old game without making it look too glossy. Keep it up!

Will you also be doing MP textures too?

texmod edits the textures the game uses. if a single player texture is edited and that same texture is used in multiplayer, then it is edited,. that being said, the answer is yes they already are.

Here's a small update of some of the Library Textures.

Dang dude those look GREAT.

Please, PLEASE PLEASE, RETEXTURE THE FLOOOOOD!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

O.o
Well, i guess it's time to go change my pants!

Looking great! some of the back walls look a bit too repeated.
Other than that it looks fantastic!

what's up with the redness at the bottom of the second screen?

I changed the damage indicators to splashes of blood

Oh, at first I thought it was a flood infection form clinging to you but then your shields were still up...I kinda like it :)

i think they should probably be a bit bigger and less opaque.

I can't change the size of the texture unfortunately, at least not with this mod. As for how clear it looks, I had it really deep thick red and it ended up just not looking right in game. You are constantly going to be seeing these go off throughout the game and I didn't want it bashing you in the face "bloody screen, so real" type of stuff.

I'm meh with the blood. Doesn't seem, idk, I'm just meh with it.

I agree, If you could do some other sort of indicator it would be awesome, just the bloody patch really doesn't seem to fit in with halo :\

Easy enough to fix/change out. I added that in months ago on a whim to see if it looked ok in game. I can always package in ui stuff seperately inside the mod so I can make a few different options for people.

Word of advice.
Do not cater to everyone's little needs, do what you think looks good ( as you are doing a good job anyway), and dont delay the release because of one guy's opinion.
Remember this can go on forever, and there needs to be an end point, if there is not, it's unhealthy.

And that is why a we see maps that look near completion and we end up waiting a year or more for their release. I would definitely agree with this. Someone's always going to find something they don't like, that hasn't stopped the release of any game before, and don't let it stop you now. I guarantee, SOMEONE or a few someones will not be satisfied no matter what you do, so go with what Maniac is saying here or you may find yourself putting way more time than is really needed into catering to their wants.

Heh he's still here. :)

Question: Can these modded bitmaps be released, so people can use the bitmaps for custom shaders?

He already said yes.

That question's been answered on multiple pages. Try looking back through threads...

Anyway, this is looking great. Can't wait to see it released! :)

Try adding some grime and mold to the library considering how it is over run with flood. If the library textures are not used in any outside map of course. Other than that mod is turning out great.

so... Any new progress?

This was my question as well, because if so... Have you ever considered making your own maps? Because if you were to texture them, they would quite possibly be the sexiest thing in Halo ever.

Yeah, I'd like the bitmaps for custom shader use.

so when you releasing these?

When he is done.

Soon.

Hopefully.
