(shrugs) I know thats one way of doing it but i made it before i found that out, and i haven't messed around with detail objects much so i don't know how they work or if they can be animated. i'll mess around with them later but i'm busy enough now

I did exactly the same thing before Higuy told me of the proper way.

For the last time, it's not "3d grass". It's not even scenery. And it's not needed where it shouldn't be. I'm working on the detail_object_collections, just having some problems with sapien crashing when I place too many.

They looked too tall as well in your previous video. When you crouched, it looked like you could have hid under them.

Also, footprints only needed on the snow. Nothing else.

(shrugs) Just thought since a spartan had so much gravity it might leave a footprint, sorry for being a realist :P

I'm afraid that decal footprints might not show up under the snow seams-- they are more elevated then and more opaque than the rock seams.
I can make the footprints spawn footprint scenery, though, and that would work.
I guess I should make the detail objects shorter. Luckily, that's just a field change in guerilla.
Problem is, sapien doesn't like a lot of these objects so close together. I guess I just have to be careful, and budget space accordingly?

How would you get the footprint scenery to eventually disappear. Or could you do that in guerilla too?

footprints in snow or sand would look cool, but on grass i think it would look weird and unnecessary. however, go the stand up grass.

realism in halo would require spartans to stop flipping tanks without taking their hands off of their pistols that are somehow more effective of a weapon than a 15 round per second assault rifle

Halo is not supposed to be realistic, that is the whole point of Halo, Sci-Fi shooter. This is why we prefer Halo more than CoD because we have more skill and creativity while CoD Fanboys stick to their ultimate realistic games.

>cod
>realistic

you best be clownin'. I'd love to see you spontaneously be able to call in air strikes and choppers based on how many people you've brutally murdered

I'd also love to see you cap someone with a 50 caliber sniper rifle and not blow their arm off, much less freaking kill them

or be able to aim directly at someone from a million feet away and hit instantly and perfectly

or get to join a firefight with an mp-44

or jump and be 100% accurate

or quickscope

He's saying that fps' aren't meant to be realistic. I mean have you heard of Deadliest warrior the video game? it sucks because of it.

Damn it, this isn't a COD vs HALO thread.

ColorChange maps may take a while to do to DESTROY ALL WHITE LEFTOVERS!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!

I finished the footprint decals long ago. I will let slappy use them of course, if he wants. Either way, I'll release them (and everything I have) soon enough.

That reminds me, Jesse, Do you still want that test map?

Hey jesse. Did you use scripting for the footprints or did you do it all in guerilla like i did?. Just curious to try and compare working styles

Didn't take more than 5 minutes to get the concept working. What took a while was getting the decal bitmap just right due to the randomized direction, and it's all done in Guerilla.

Lol yeah that sounds about right. And what i meant by being more real was making it have better graphics and such. Like in the maps bungie made for halo 1 they could have made them much better. Like in the ice maps add in some stalactites and footprints. And maybe even some dead grass and dirt. And snow blindness. I'm sure you get the idea

exactly. both are effing terrible.

yay for the only 2 users online

wrong thread

so what all is there left to do?

This is the kind of thing that can easily be sent through PM. And who knows, you mite actually make a friend

well then in an effort to return to topic (sorry dennis) @slappy i made some trees that look would look great on valhalla if you want em

Are you saying slappy's work isn't good enough for you? You only get what you ask for.
Edited by XlzQwerty1 on Apr 8, 2011 at 03:39 PM

I wouldn't say "not good enough" More like "i prefer to personalize things to be more satisfactory to my preferences " Am i right?

Stop it with these posts of yours, as the information was already stated and therefore is redundant. You said you would stop threadjacking, and yet, here you go again, of course.

^this.

More than you can imagine my dear friend.

I said that i would like to change the map to my standards. That is including the map. It is not thread jacking. I'll stop "threadjacking" if you stop trying to troll me

idk. maybe I'm just a sadist

@slappy So since i haven't seen any gravlift scenery in the update videos does this mean that there wont be any or that you just haven't gotten them in yet?


@HaloIsAHorribleGame: If you love to see people in pain so much why don't you go to japan?. then you get to see a ton of people that have had everything they had taken away...The world isn't just a happy place to pick fights with others for sick psychological reasons and i think it's time we all had an awakening. Maybe then people would put aside this foolishness and stop acting inappropriately
