I'm sure someone like CAD has made it already. It's the only way I see the missile pod really working.

Personally I say forget the 3p missile pod because for a FP shooter it makes no sense anyway.

Your right,inless you make it where the masterchief is walking in the animation thats what going to happen

Just put it in first person. It's easier and it will function more smoothly.

Okay, okay. You guys make good points.
Gonna need some nice missile pod fp, then.

I already did this (with doan's fp animations) but the problems I ran into were that the projectile wouldn't home into anything unless it was ONLY all enemies, not just vehicles. Basically, it would lock onto regular people walking around, not just banshees n stuff.

If you want it slappy, I'd be happy to give it up for the project.

It also needs firing sounds and prettier particle effects (contrail, secondary explosion, ect.)

I haz sounds, even a flyby and distant boom. I dunno about this secondary explosion stuff, though.

When the projectile fires, it glides for a second, then it emits a contrail as it activates it's propulsion.

Same thing as the Fuel Rod\Plasma Cannon.

Well, is that part tagged? Either way, I would really like your missile pod.
Can't arrange anything until tomorrow, though. Almost finished with other stuff.

I'm back from a trip and I gotta go on another one for 3 weeks on Saturday. :(

Try using stun.

That's interesting...

Sux that you'll be leaving, qwerty. Before then, could I perhaps have what shader progress you've made?

It's not been a lot, I've been away for a while and all I really need are the color change maps. Just a question, will this be released before or after when I get back?

Some how implement the values of when you fall you slow down, maybe base it off that logic.

Actually, it doesn't slow you down, it stuns you. Your character can't make any actions at all when it is stunned.

You move very slowly when stunned, too slow to say so the least.

I think I've got it. Effects and damage effects can stun the player to a specifiable degree.
Sorry I wasn't online at all yesterday, my internets got deathanized.
Don't worry, this won't be released too soon at all, hehe. I'll wait if by some chance I do get it done.

Bsp-wise, I've fixed the material IDs and I'm on to remodel some of the forerunner parts. Defnitely the ramp and interior. Maybe I'll ask for that wall. Idk.

Are you gonna try and make it so we can jump ontop of the building from the back interior entrance? (I think you know what I'm talking about) :)

Yeah, I'm actually modeling that in max right now, how'd you know?
And Like I've already said, it's hard as hell to do that because it means having a weird ramp or lowering the entire base roof. I realize that I can't lower that roof any more, so the ramp will be a bit steeper...

are you also gonna model in the warthog jump in the middle ?

I'm pretty sure everything necessary is 'modeled in.'

In the alpha, I noticed that there was only 1 walkway "hidden under the huge rocks" to the left side of the map (Look at the left from the sea shore). Have you modeled in the other walkway? It's kinda hard to explain without pictures.

yeah, I think I know what your talking about, are you talking about the cave just next to the crashed pelican, it should have 2 walkway parts to the cave but in the alpha there was only one. i was gonna ask about that too, see if slapsta put in that second part of the tunnel. i think it's a pretty important part of the map. allows for a bit of stealthness, as it stands players will b too exposed when coming out there.
with changing the ramp so it's possible to jump up to the flag spot from the back ramp, im just worried that the platform that the banshee sits on will b too elevated. in the alpha it was already pretty high.
did u fix that back wheel on the goose?

I thought I said I was making those changes somewhere already... weird.
This is the kind of bsp stuff you guys were supposed to tell me early on.
The second tunnel is modeled, but I accidentally cleared all the IDs when I did so. Just wait, it still needs seamseals.
The back ramp will have to be high. The ramp is too low. There's literally no way to fix that without changing the ramp around... unless I elevate the terrain in the back along with the ramp, but it's not to that extent in halo 3, of course.
I'm not really working on any tags other than the missile pod. Still bsp.

Is it possible to make flag carriers not able to drive or shoot?

I guess so, through scripts or animation seats or something like that. Should that even be done?

It's in the gametype options.

yeah is possible just edit the biped animation

Er... that's not what I mean.

This doesn't matter that much, it was just a thought that came into mind when I watched ubergoober's vid on xfire.

Not to mention the retardation involed in people "roadkilling" other people at walking speed.

imo i think it kinda sucks that u cant hold the flag n drive or operate a turret.
imo i dont think that should b included in the map.

If only it was possible.

@IcePheonix

LOL

But cappers can still get in the passenger seat, right? I can see that working out well. No more solo flag cap/hog runs sound ok to me, but I don't know about the general playing public.
