Yeah, I finished the base shaders already. You seriously gotta smooth your base though, the light is reflecting off each face.

Were you working with maniac, and does he know that you're finished?
EDIT: FFFFUUUUUU I set all the faces to material ID 5 while trying to fix those stupid faces that you think are ugly.

Working on spartan shaders again :). DAMN COLOR CHANGE MAPS, i hate little white spots left over, makes me go crazy unless they're gone.

Add moar alpha, and don't worry about getting it on some of the black stuff?

Back stuff?

Black stuff, eg rubber.
In retrospect, I barely have a clue about what I said anyways.

I just finished the recon, took me like an hour or so. The most important would be the body itself.

YAY for progress!

Screenie please?

No.

no pics

It's not even complete yet, I have to work on it and I'll show you the finished product (Or almost finished product)

I'm sticking to my method, and no, he did not tell me yet.

Basically, I'm still trying to fix the base now that I've messed it up. Plus exams.

Later.

UPDATES
-My examinations will be over on monday.
-Ubergoober, an alpha tester, helped me find a few more client bugs and missle pod glitches that need to be addressed.
-BSP still taking a while to re-assign materials to. Also, the waterfall might look too strange. The entire map is off from halo 3, of course, to some extent... but in the future I'll have to post some waterfall-specific pictures.

do you have any videos of the missile pod by any chance? I want to see which you are using. Or are you using a new tag not on any maps yet?

I don't think it would matter 'whose' or 'which' tags I'm using.
If you have a prefect missile pod, I would like it.

it would b awesome if you could make the missile-pods home in on their target too, not too much tho, not like the rpg's on 'hornets nest' u cant get away from those suckers.

Only vehichle lock on.

It's not possible. One the one hand, you kind of need homing to take down banshees. On the other hand, you can't have vehicle-only lock on.
I think I'll use strong homing on everything...

hmm, thats a bumma that u cant do vehicle only lock-on, how about medium strength lock-on for everything? seriously, strong lock-on is ridiculous, just have a multiplayer match on hornets nest and see how the rpg's lock-on, theres no escape!
if u had strong lock-on for the purpose of taking out banshees, no-one would ever use the banshees cause remember u've got the laser there as well.

Ah. I didn't know you hadn't gotten one already. But yeah I would go with a medium lock on if you ask me. Gives you a chance to get away at least.

Well, you can't throw grenades with the missile pod, so that means the secondary trigger is free.

Primary Fire: Unguided Missile
Secondary Fire: Homing Missile (With a brief charging period, to establish a "lock" on target)

Ta-da?

Er, I guess that makes sense. As I have no idea exactly how it would play out, all I can say is maybe...

but y would u use the non-lock-on trigger when u have the lock-on trigger? wouldnt people just always use the lock-on trigger? i reckon go with medium lock-on.

There are no lock on's in halo 3.

there is but only for vehicles

Yeah, but the lock-on would have to be charged. Just for a second or two, but that would be enough to make them save it for targets large enough to track in that amount of time (i.e. vehicles) rather than trying to blast infantry with it. The unguided rockets would fire instantly, and would be better-suited to anti-infantry roles.

Yeah cause the missle pod totally doesn't lock on at all.
Needler doesn't either.

:P

Yeah, because all those shots I made in halo 3 are stright-up pro kills.

Decrease the speed of the Missiles, add a movement penalty to the weapon, and make the homing almost as powerful as the Needler's. That should work pretty well if I'd have to guess.

Yeah, and I'll decrease the damage as well (less than rockets)
Movement penalties don't work for some reason, meh
Yes, needler homing, perhaps more.

I'm also wondering if anyone has actually made one of those vehicles that act as a missile pod weapon.

Is it possible to make the missile pod a vehicle so you set the speed low so you walk slow and in 3rd person?

??? Slide over the map? What
