Yes, the scripting was amazing and the virtual physics really showed their potential. It just wasn't a big step up from the original Portal. Fallout: New Vegas was quite unpopular compared to its predecessor because the gameplay was the same, with no improvements, just a different area and story. Why was Portal different?

You're naive. The only reason I (put up with) develop(ing)ed content for source was because I liked tf2 at the time (Before it got run over with terrible hats that destroyed the game with ugly visual clutter). I came back to HCE because I like the game, I could care less about the engine it's in, if it's a great game then I want to make content for it, it's that simple.

That's why I'm not in the UDK making random scenes, and why I'm not still developing for source. The game makes development worthwhile, not the engine.

Also what, UDK can't handle portal? Are you joking?

Ut 2004 could handle portals

Halo can handle portals with an external program.

It's not like it's some magnificent coding revolution, it's a gameplay revolution that doesn't happen nearly as often as it should, because big AAA developers just remake the same games over and over with better graphics because innovating gameplay is risky financially.

That's also why we have this huge surge of independent developers skipping major studios entirely and going straight to developing their own game. Given then choice, would you really want to remake CoD # 3157839175 or whatever they're on now, or make something new and innovative.

If you had any idea what you were talking about, you wouldn't have said that. UDK is much better in coding and visually then most other engines. Its rival is pretty much Cryengine and thats about it...

The reason Source is "good" is becuase the developers (VALVe) are very, very, good with knowing what to do, how to do it, and getting it ingame and perfecting it. All of there games are innovative, however if you've ever opened up the Hammer Editor you'll know that Source is a very hard engine to work with (personally harder to work with than Halo...), not only becuase of how its designed, but the messy interface and tools you are limited to work with...

I can also figure, a few similar things could be said about UDK, as half of it (coding, mostly) is very undocumented and experimenting or having experience with the coding aspect is the only way to get good at it... Sure they are lots of tutorials, but not really on specific things. From what I've seen, it is closely similar to C++.

tl;dr, UDK can do much more than Source and is a much more polished engine.

Oh yeah, I forgot about cryengine...

wel i dont thnk udk is very god but i only tryed it once i jst dont like the way there watr ripplez when u look at it from a distnce its 2 weird 4 me

What's that mean in English? Cause I can't read it. What translator are you using? It's not very good whatever it is.

Halo can handle portals without additional programs. Infact, you could remake the portal games in halo easier than remaking other halo games.

Now, can we return to the HUD discussion?...

That's more like teleporting. I haven't seen anything other than portal that actually warps the map and allows you to see what's on both sides.

Back on topic, HUD overlays rule! 20% transparency especially! Loljk

Someone wanted to remake halo 1 using the newest graphic but it would have seemed like just another halo game.

He is really smart as [off this game] he made a vehicle that is not even coded for multiplayer load on the map and actually do damage. It took him a bit as when it would actually render his system would crash. He has done it now and maybe he can pull some stuff in with halo as well.

[The folloing is not RMT related]

So he put a vehicle into HCE multiplayer?

And 343 is re-designing HaloPC aren't they?

And I know 18 year olds that are not as rude as you. Move on and cease with the insults.

Shaders for one, it looks like source hasn't updated their shaders at all the last 10 years.

:3



Yup, they're terrible too, the engine really has no redeeming features, aside from some of the games running on it :s

penis

my theory on overlays is if you're going to use them in the case of halo visor crap, make them subtle as balls. like nearly unnoticable.

that way you're not forcing it in people's faces "look how much effort I put into this!!11," and they will more appreciate it as more of a subtle detail

yeah. banned by request.

I know someone who is trying to recreate CE in UDK. I have some videos somewhere.

-EDIT-

Here was a cancelled similar project:

Okay.

e plays this other game called Killzone: Liberation.

You can't use vehicles in multiplayer.

My friend make vehcles work in multiplayer.

Maybe he can mega mod halo to use items tat may have not been intended t run in the game.

Newer HUDs graphix and VoIP mic chat.

m00kz was working on that with a coder but the coder left iirc

I'm serious here. EVERY single good project cancelled.

Naw, we're still alive and running.

CMT (maybe)

Ummm..... can't think of anyothers

I think the feathering on the HUDs makes it much worse. Look at the motion sensors on the Halo Legends HUDs to see what I mean.

I understand that, that's the point i was trying to make with my quote all together, given, my wording may be off but yeah, that's basically it.




Check out Half Life 2's HUD. Along with Displaying an exact number for Suit Energy, Health, and ammo in the corners of the screen, the Reticule actually has all 3 of these items as curved bars around the static reticule. Best idea for a HUD ever, combine everything in 1 area and easy to understand




You Mean Bungie? Lol




I swear, finally somebody gets what i was saying. Make a hud 5% Visible opacity wise, and make it very close near the outside, would be the best hud overlay ever




Back to my own words than quotes, Base HUD should be small, direct, and consise. Overlays should be very VERY subtle and not intrusive, somebody lock this topic already, it's getting out of hand imo

So, has anybody made some custom HUDs they wish to share?

Nope. we don't create. we rip.

Tha'z becuz rippin' be pro!
