*sigh* what do u take me for? A retard? U don't think i know that a red plasma rifle shoots red??? U don't think I know that a red bolt shoot be red when it hits something not blue, as i have stated in the description of my last vid?

@Bobblehob
Okay thanks i will work on it.

What other weapons should i add?

make me a decent one if u want it in this firefight

hey, that'd be handy. There are no decent grav hammers out ther (that i know of) so if i added one it would be crap and ruin the rest of it.

Any other weapons?

Came up with a cool idea.

At the start you can choose from 3 loadouts:

energy sword and plasma rifle
carbine and plasma pistol
beam rifle and needler

and when u die u can choose ur loadout again, like reach, and u can choose ur spawn point, also like reach. I believe the spawn point part will be the easier to script.

Cutscenes pretty bad, at least make it more fluent.

I know, it was the first time i could actually get the cutscene to work when i recorded it on xfire. It was only a one day effort. My main focus is to get the ai done then fix the fail cutscene, then script in the loadouts and a sexy new lives script

Rip a BPR from a CMT map.

Or how about you don't

Hmm, I just realized that all of the firefight maps out have used a previous map. Nobody made their own BSP, except for Mooseguy when he was doing Descent.

We can if we want to. CMT said that we (as map makers/modders) can use their content. Plus, it looks better than the one that he's currently using (which, as he said, is just a retexture of the Halo 1 PR).

starting in the middle of the map has got to be the worst freaking idea from any tactical standpoint

I'm getting to the fp, i want to get the ai done first to get the whole thing functional then worry about the extras
the sword doesn't work for some reason on my pc, so i can't just use it.

@UBE Chief
I'm using odstmts brute pr, not cmt's cos of the corrupt shader that my one has.

@HIAHG
I only moved the start location for the cutscene to see if the player was spawning, which they weren't, which lead me to fix the problem. I'm going to put in multiple spawn locations when the ai is done

Rip it from one of my latest maps then - the tags aren't corrupted. You can also nab a beta of the Plasma Repeater from The_Library (MP convert of c20) if you want as well.

cool but i will be fixing ours and using it.

So there are not other tags requested to be added?

Plasma Repeater? My beta version of it is available in The_Library - all you have to do is rip it.

But in reality it's just a modded version of CMT's PR :x

Ah well, at least it still work like it (with the exception that you can't discharge the built-up heat within).

Is the model an actual plasma repeater or is it just a pr that shoots fast and runs out quick?

sigh, is it the model a plasma repeater that has all the things of a pr or is it cmt's pr that now shoots really fast?

I've modified it to fire similarly to Reach's Plasma Repeater. Nothing more.


Breaking that down:

Fires fast at first, then slows down after five (or so) seconds of continuous fire.

Does not overheat.

Will continue to fire until the battery is drained.

Will spool back up if unfired for five (or so) seconds.


I can't replicate the Plasma Repeater's heating cycle, so that'll have to do.

Essentially a reversed version of a regular Plasma Rifle.

But yes, it just has CMT's textures, particle effects, etc., along with the regular PR model and collision model. Nothing fancy, just a mod.

friendly advice:
If you are going to use the ODST FP hands, then use a matching biped as the default biped and ODST hands don't work well together :) Unless you intend to make it this way.

Iwill be using cmt's elite fp and the biped will be an equally as sexy ultra if i can find one

Just remember Ultras caonically have 3x normal shield strength. Get a Zealot.

Yeah i was gonna increase the shields and not have any health packs (cos there is only human ones) and instead have regenerating health

Updates?

Just hope you actually release the damn thing. Have a door or somehing where enemies pop out, w/e you do don't make them just "appear".

Theres going to be teleportation sounds where they teleport to and possibly the co-op teleport affect which will require a few thousand cutscene flags

sounds like it would cause a lot of lag.

...yeah. idk how i could get it to work to appeal to everyone

I don't think a "Midship Firefight" would even work well.

But I'll see what it will turn out like when it's released.
And I will try it when it's out!

EDIT:

I LOL'd at the last video.
Anyway, based on these videos, it seems to actually work well...

wow

Either notepad or this site screwed it up a bit when i pasted it into my post. Added more cover to the map and got the health regeneration script going too

any progress?

mainly working on fixing the lives script and loadouts script at the moment. Then will finish the ai and cutscene and release a beta. Can't get h3 containments energy sword to go :(
