So umm.
I've been messing around with Halo 3 lately. It seem that it is possible to do it in a different engine so it can be used on a pc.

I've been playing with models form Halo 3 all over the internet and instead of a Halo CE remake, I want to get a true group of people to try to creaste a version for the pc with a very open mapping system.

Unity can do the trick but it would take a while.

I'm only going to try for a while. If we dont make progress I'll drop it but i think everyone would love a Halo 3 PC

What are your views on this?


My "Mapping" team isn't puting pout work. All have to the VERY VERY basic shape of the first weapon tag. I'm more willing to do something new something harder.

I've build code before for people.

My little experience wont be enough i need people who want to at least try.

You do not have to have Unity to help but if you want it pm me.

This is something IO have my heart set on the most.

I hope you guys can allow me to show you what I can do with teamwork.

SERIOUSLY, STOP TRYING TO GET UNITY SUPPORT. its not HAPPENING. i KNOW, from about 2 MONTHS of trying, and making BARELY any progress.

Not happening. Period.

What do you suggest? Hmm?

I love the game but it is so annoying only being able to play it on XBox 360

Do you guys even want a Halo 3 pc?

I also have access to UDK

I want to do it.

Someone has to try!

i DID try. its not happening.

Okay.

What did you do the get the models in the engine?

What i mean is did you have to convert the models and material at all?

I will try as something to pass time.

No one wants it but I do so i'll try myself.


Important You ahve to have a good group of people to get anytrhing done. it takes a TEAM.

that is way I'm asking for a TEAM first.

Like i said im not exzpert but I'm going to try.

And if I even get some progress I'll credit you because you are making my angry therefor giving the fuel to try and get it done.

Unity imports MAX and OBJ and 3DS and a crap ton of models and automatically converts them to FBX. does a heck of a job with it too.

Why is he even trying? they are probubly going to start later and finish before him if he or they evn tried.

Meh, idk. i tried. I have a AR that works like a call of duty gun.
In other words, its an AR with bloom that recoils upwards and has a glitchy muzzle flash and makes sparks fly EVERYWHERE. If i ever continued, i would change that...but as i said in my thread, i would need support from people who could legitimately help...like gamma did, by donating his AR.

I've modeled before.

I don't know if this guys could handle it though.

Got any images with that dead project?

someone made one...pming u a link
ImaBroke dude, All i had pretty much was the AR...ill post screeny later

I have doen this in CryEngine 2 and 3, several assets... over 100...

You WILL get bored when it comes to BSP scripting and AI.

AI is mad bad in unity, not without rediculous work.
BSP scripting isnt that bad, i did a bit for a little indie game a friend was doing....but that was like 2 years ago and i completely forgot how to do all that stuff.
I remember your little halo aero, shame that didnt happen...

Wait you can do it with CryEngine ? How would I get accesst to cryengine 3?

I love how Unity works but i actually have experience with cryengine
Edited by DarkAvengerX on Jun 9, 2011 at 04:52 PM

Oh please don't fake anymore...

Anyway I think that dealling with the long ai process is crazy but with how "open" Crytek claims cryengine to be it can allow for some very realistic physics and some crazy weapon abilities

I would love to do it

So you want to help?

unity is awesome being able to play games anywhere! graphic capabilities are comparable to psp and if your at a college computer it loads a game within seconds
though halo 3 looks like itll take forever to load not to mention system lag once it fully does
halo2 for pc i understand but halo would have to be downgraded a lot if you want it to run successfully on unity there will likely be bugs and glitches to deal with
thousands of pages of coding

if you can run a multiplayer only ver with a few maps i think that would be fair enough to work


i plan to makes games with my friend with unity during my next semester.

ive always been lurking around halo forums but i thought id be of some help because i see progress going down. but ill be around until the near end of summer because ill be going back to school then ill be lurking again haha

yea, i wasent making halo 3, i was just making a new multiplayer. but same difference.
I give up on the unity halo thing...its was a cool concept but no one can really help.

unity is pretty simple you can work with the defaults and just modify them if you want a real simple haloish game but i know how people dream of the exact replica

the thing is people here specializes in the halo engine or just learning

im sure some people will let you borrow some assets and models but if you need help with coding and you need to find people at the unity forum or find friends who are also interested learn about the engine and help do a certain area where you can work in other areas im sure people in real life you can depend on more

If you did somehow break through to do this, and you were able to provide me the bipeds, bsps and vehicles, I'd gladly recreate the campaign for you.

that would be great to have a halo 3 PC game but Microsoft wont be happy because they own halo now. i think that the best idea would be to make a thread into a petition and have people leave a comment if they want halo 3 on PC.

get a super long list of people then send it to Microsoft to show them how many people want it to happen.
(and how much money they are losing)

they should be doing that instead of a ce remake anyways.

Oh sure, let's take a couple of people from a forum where only 10 out of 200 people know how to properly mod, and recreate an enjoyable game that took a professional game studio 3 years to make in another engine! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Edited by Bokito on Jun 10, 2011 at 07:31 AM

ha ha so true.

HA! Good Luck!

Conclusion:
DarkAvengerX has not the means of going about this. I have not the means of going about this. This is not going about, lets just end it and ill trash all this stuff.

guys i got halo 3 on my pc

there are some, er.. "versions" of halo 3 on the pc, but we can't talk about things of that sort in this forum.

HOLY CRAP! Thats amazing. Why didn't I think of that

have you guys seen the secret casio calculator game? its the best

i thnk i put halo3 on my comp but idont remebr

WOAH, WHERE DID YOU GET THE FREE TO DOWNLOAD FROM THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE, UNREAL DEVELOPMENT KIT FROM?

Hey guys!

Sorry for the bump!

I have been doing some more things in Unity and I was able to create a plasma grande explosion. I also did s script that theoretically make the plasma grande stick to items and not the ground or wall.

[Update]
It worked

Now I'm working on making the plasma grande seem to charge up before explodng.
I might have to write a script to do an explosion after a charge up sound.

Anyone have any sounds fro halo 3 I could use to try it out?

Learn to spell "grenade" correctly. It isn't a medium sized coffee drink.
