they still have SOME training, and they are strong.
Also; you need to model em.

I'm working on that. I'm at a loss as to how they should speak though.

When I am constantly misunderstood by newcomers who only read recent posts, yes, I am maddened, for they do not provide valid crit. I apologise for my outburst.

ACTUALLY, they do. You just cant take it like a man

Well if we're doing multiplayer, I think our best plan is to make Reach tags. We need weapons and vehicles. Then we can put them in, and then texture the maps.

Almost done modeling my reach falcon it can only have one gun thanks to halo ones crappyness.And all thats left to do is finish rigging the gun and add in the seats then it's off to be tagged and then i find out how to skin it

Isn't there a script or something that allows a vehicle to have 2 guns? Or am I just fantasizing again?

If there's only one gun then how about making the 2 turrets one vehicle gun (like a ghost), and having a panel on the falcon (Press "E" to operate falcon turrets) and then going into 3P camera to shoot with both turrets? Of course only one person would be able to man the guns then but that's just a last resort idea.

Um. Maybe because that would give one person a ton of power and no one would be able to take them down. Plus the turrets are supposed to face different ways and if they don't then one is going to be shooting across the vehicle the entire time. The vehicle will still have the same amount of seats just not two guns. the left side will have a gun and the right will be kinda hanging out and shooting more than the others can

The second "turret" i believe can be done, for player usage via scripting forcing them to pickup a 3rd weapon (and making the seat FP), + view restrictions. It would also require a script to force them to drop the weapon too. I don't know if this is possible, but it might be.

The second turret would be a forced pickup weapon rather than an attached object, so the Engine will allow it.

Good, you edited it, i was about to say "Credit?". I'v never had anyone disprove, or prove this theory, but if it works... It would allow for so much awesome...

If i can get the script than i could do it. make the second turret and make it so it's not a gun and instead it's just animated so that the person in that seat controls the animations so it looks like they have a gun. one problem i see, couldn't they just switch guns like in the passenger seat of the warthog?, i mean you don't really want plasma rifle bolts coming from a turret or the script taking away an assault rifle and giving them a turret to carry around

It'll be restricted to the turret only in the gunner seat. Like having a flag. It's a 3rd weapon, but you can't switch to the other ones when you have it.

In order to make it so it can't be switched out and automatically picked up you have to check must be redied and that makes it so if you shoot then it drops the weapon. I tried to do this with a machine gun turret

All are early ideas, I have not drawn up a map design yet. I lost the original, so the model is incomplete and unworthy of even the title of WIP. The Forerunner Dreadnought is actually a placeholder model from sketchup, because I've had a virus and loast everything on my computer including schoolwork since January. The only decent replacement without remodelling the entire thing again that I can find is here:

http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/455666

Anyone with money on Turbosquid? I'm too annoyed to model a new one. I'll buy something on Xbox LIVE for you (I have £20 worth of Microsoft Points)?

So Halo 4 is going to consist of a massive flat plain with a bunch of forerunner structures extracted from the CE campaign? Is that it?

Why not try to model your own forerunner geometry, like this



My worry with this project is the overall quality, after seeing the quality of the material presented so far, I and many others don't have high hopes. I think it would do you and the rest of your team some good to change your priorities from large amounts of content, and instead focus on making less at a much higher quality.

You know. I'm really sick of hearing about how there aren't any reach bipeds, except the H3 E.V.A with a black visor and a lame skull. So i made my own reach-(styled) and there will be elites and more Spartans too. i hope to hear opinions on them and i am not releasing until i finish

Credit goes to Spartan-094 for the original EVA model i edited. Added on to. And made a few new Shaders for. Hope to hear back soon

looks pretty bad. learn to model or find a modeler before undergoing a time consuming project like this that WILL BE heavy on modeled resources.

truth is.
the models are not bad. but they are not yours. Those are from the MYOS. you =screwed for using that, They are under s CC lisence by Shimmy and StealthSP2.
Also, no textures on them.

Theres nothing in the readme that came with it http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4641
So i thought i'd mess with them. Like the one with the bad visor. I just edited the mesh a little and edited the Shaders. I planed on giving credit and protecting the map. So i sough nothing with it. I won't be releasing if it's got a CC license but i didn't see one So i don't know

Why didn't you say that originally instead of saying that you made them... :\

^This. You definitely were trying to take credit for making them.

1000th post Wooohoo!

Sorry about the spam but the only way to subscribe to a thread is to post in it.
BTW do you guys have any original armour abilities and is it ok if you guys give me a summary of the discussion?

Edited by cyboryxmen on Apr 21, 2011 at 01:44 AM

No i was not trying to take credit for it. I specifically gave credit to the person that originally made the tags. And only took credit for what i did to them. And as for the armor abilities, i have made jetpack and sprint. I'm working on evade. I have completed assassination but am still working o the animations. SeanTheLaun has made armorlock and is working out the bugs and such. I and a few others have made bubble shield. What else is there?


EDIT: Oh yeah i and many others have made active camouflage
Edited by grunt_eater on Apr 21, 2011 at 09:17 AM

That is credit for the eva model, we are talking about the armor pieces that you "added on"
Edited by Bobblehob on Apr 21, 2011 at 06:00 PM

So i'm not allowed to take credit for what i did?. i modeled the extra armor peaces and made some new shaders. So yeah i'll be taking credit for it. And i see no problem with it

I think they're saying that you didn't model the armor pieces. Which comes to clarify: Did you model the armor pieces completely from scratch?

Yes. I took the original EVA and modeled the armor peaces by myself. And i also made the new visor shader and am working on others. I made the shoulders leggings jetpack knife and the thing on the visor by myself
Edited by grunt_eater on Apr 22, 2011 at 01:37 AM

Sup. I've got a much better Forerunner Dreadnought model now, and Halo 2 textures look pretty sweet on it. Just a FTW, no, this is not another placeholder skp. This was made in 3ds.

Alright, well that looks pretty good for a rough draft. I've got Gmax up to shape, starting to get the hang of it a little bit. Got my maxscripts working, can do some basic editing with meshes, finally was able to create a polygon (it wouldn't close before :P wow im a noob). Still need to play around with the material editor until I can get it working and making me smile too.

Yeah, let's get this party started with that groovy h4 music. I liked, it feels sort of Halo like, because it isn't too orchestral and COD sounding.

EDIT:
YES!!!! Now I can also use the material editor thanks to Higuy's tutorial again!!!!

Alright, blah blah blah.
So who's doing Noble Actual?
Edited by Xoronatus on Apr 24, 2011 at 02:39 AM

Noble Actual will be a last minute thing. Also does anybody have software to rip parts from other CE .map files? It will make stuff a lot easier. HEK isn't compatible atm with my PC. Also, my JMS exporter still doesn't like me, so any models I make, someone else'll probably need to get in-game.

halo tag converter can extract tags and there's a bsp extractor that cab extract models

It keeps on not responding when I try.

i take you guys are talking about the bsp tag converter v2.5.
here's the program http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2029

and here is how to use it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gyoQxGPb54

Thx. :D

What does everyone think of the draco ship on rp_gamma_marrine?

Lol also how do you spawn it.

No offense petera, but you need someone in your group who's actually good at drawing to make concept art =\
