the problem i see with that is if the rider is an enemy then you wont be able to board that extra seat and even if you work out a way around that you still have the problem of making it so you don't have to get out to enter the abandoned driver seat if someone made it so you could enter enemy vehicles then you could do your plan i suppose. but they're is still the problem of not being able to melee when you are in a vehicle that halo one has

yes you could and i've done it in halo trial with HMT=halo mapping tools=it's for modders
but i don't like that because it is limited. if your standing under something to short and jump it can either kill you or you bounce back and through the ground and if you are trying to jump onto something that is shorter then your jump hight you expose yourself to be killed.i would much prefer to make the jetpack like in reach where you get to chose how high you go and i am working on it but it'l take time

Hijacking is not possible, and that falcon looks ok, if its your model i believe your going somewhere, if its ripped well i guess it works for this if it actually happens...

Did you actually just introduce the possibility of it being ripped?

no i did not rip that model.i modeled it from nothing but pictures and videos so no it's not perfect and it isn't even done yet i still have to model the chainguns and the seats for them.and then i need to find someone to skin it for me and i have an idea of making the falcon destructible and then when it is killed it spawns a chaingun weapon that you can pick up and use


*this post has been changed* and are you saying you think they are to bad looking to be riped ?

This might help to see how jet-packs have been done in the past:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2611

Ah yes, those are classic. This could more easily be implemented in singleplayer using attach and vehicle enter commands in script.

i have seen both of those before and they are not what i'm looking for what i meant by my post about wanting it to be like in reach is i want it not to be a vehicle think about it if you are in a jetpack vehicle and you try to reload by pressing E then oops you fall out and to your death

Not if you script it to make you automatically reenter the vehicle before you exit completely. Which has been done by the way.

but then you still have the bad physics and it doesn't look like the real halo reach jetpack meaning you have to look up to go up i am at this moment working on a flashlight powered jetpack and after making it i will change the control switch

*this post has been edited*um.hey.does anyone by chance know how to change the battery lifespan on the flashlight?

*this post has been edited*ok guys so i have made a jetpack the acts like the one in halo reach it is NOT! a vehicle the only problem is it is powered by the flashlight witch makes it last way to long so i need to know how to change the lifespan of the flashlight to make it perfect
ok so here is a vid of the jetpack and lets just call this progress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGoW_BCbTsc

I really think a jetpack 'vehicle' with a handheld weapon is the best way. Maybe just have something that spawns it you that can carry around? 'tis similar to Reach anyways. Like I said, we don't have to make this exactly the same, we can be as creative as the limits of CE let us.

I've got some reach falcon bitmaps/textures if you want them. they are ripped

Nice. Yes please. Anyway, putting hijacking aside, is it possible to 'boost' vehicles in CE, maybe using a secondary weapon that makes you go faster rather than shoot?

Oh yeah also the new textured MAC Cannon looks awesome and true to the CE feel. I am so using that.

Do any of you know how to rip bitmaps from reach?my ascension app doesn't work any more and I need the reach warthog turret and tyres for my warthog

I could give it a try, but I've only ever used Halo 3 before.

Heres app

Here's Reach mapS

I think that grunt eaters first person one would be better than a vehicle, in my opinion anyways.

uh dude that's considered piracy

Haha doesn't matter to me I have the disc anyways, I'll just use that. As for the software, I'm not sure how to rip, just looks like a standard tag editor to me.

um sorry for posting that i've done this already again but i have. and it looks ok. the thing you use to tern it on and off is you have to hold CTRL to tern it on and let go to tern it off if you want the tutorial on how i did not make it but heres the link http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1060 this is the boost im talking about

*this post has been edited* o my gosh are you guys ripping tags from reach...because if you are you just lost all of my respect to you

ok so no one is posting pack and im starting to wounder if i've scared all of you away and you just want me to leave. if so i'll release my reach tags and tutorials on making the new stuff im making like jetpack and i am now working on hologram. and leave you guys alone

so how's that falcon coming along?

someone should sub'd model one! then texture bake the details so it can be made to look good in this engine ffs! i aint got time.

What happened to the really good falcon model (the pink one) that one dude was making?

i donate some falcon bitmaps that are ripped from reach

OMGriiPZZZZZZZZ iMa KEEeeEeEeLl j00OOOoo!!11!1!!1!!11 WtF iZ wIFf DeeZ RiPZZzzZzZzzzzZZ?!??!?!111//1?!/




jk, but I bet some people in this community would feel that way.

If your talking about me, then I actually don't really care. It's just pointless as it doesn't look as good as it could if it was custom made for this engine.

Nah, I just mean the group in general lol...

not to mention this was made for a hi-poly engine so it also doesn't WORK as well for the engine unless you optimize it a lot.

Exactly my point, if its custom details can be put into the texture more than they are for the rip as normal maps fake most of their details. Fake bumping from rips is disgusting, just cell-shades everything.

I can make the armor lock for you guys if you want,I make new 3D bitmaps all the time so I can make a new really cool looking shield for you with particles etc if you would like.

Hi?

you make 3d bitmaps?.i have made a falcon and don't wan't ripped bitmaps(mostly because i want to say it's all custom ) but don't have photo shop and i'm waiting to get the trial so that i can make custom cross hairs if you doubt that i have made a falcon i have put a video on youtube.com just do a search on (halo CE falcon)

Okay, I will rephrase that. Fake bumping with BAD SHADERS or over done. because your elites look pretty good tbh. No offence to you. :)

You mean this one?


(Mine) the model has been finished and released over here --->http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=34756
Render is old btw.

Someone should unwrap and tag your model.
