As you all know Gamma has decided to leave the Halo mapping community for good (I think)
And he has given some people some tags, I received one of these tags which just so happens to be his ODST tags.

By default the .Biped tag in the .rar uses my slightly nerfed animations which is slightly different from Bungies default animations, for a start I've taken out that annoying "pistol crouch = cower" thing, as well as make the pistols held with 2 hands.

If you don't like these changes you can either use default marine animations or the odst.model_animations in the "odst" folder.

NOTE: This is to be used with Marines, not Cyborg. Unless you are smart enough to make it use Cyborg anims..
Gamma has given me full permission to release this tag with proper credit to it's authors

-delta4907 for the rig and the shaders
-bungie for the model and textures
- marine animations from Bungie
- Me for messing with Bungies original animations to provide alternate anims



Proof this is legit.

In this rar there is a readme which provides additional information...

Gamma has also told me to include this written tutorial on how to modify the animations through Guerilla to allow marines (Or any other biped as a matter of fact) to hold different weapons that they normally can't hold.

This is how I also got the Marines to hold pistols with 2 hands and get rid of the cower whilst crouch animation (So now they can fire with a pistol whilst crouched)

The Tutorial

"You have a model_animations file, but the file itself is missing cases for each weapon. It's an easy tweak.

1) Open the .model_animations file
2) Under unit, select stand
3) Scroll down to weapons. In this example, I'm using the marine model animations, and the first item here is rifle. This is the 3rd person rifle animation. Now, assuming you want your biped to hold a rifle, you would leave this at rifle. Otherwise, you'd browse to pistol for a pistol animation, and so forth
4) Scroll down to weapon types
5) Here, you will see a 2 or 3 letter string. In the marine, the default under rifle is ar. This is the assault rifle animation. Now, open the weapon you want the biped to hold and scroll down until you find the weapon label. Go back to the marine model animations and weapon types, and click duplicate. Rename the string in the duplicate to the weapon label you just found
6) Save

You're done




If you find this tutorial hard to understand addition help will be available from myself :)

Thanks for taking your time to read this.

nice release, and as far as ive talked to gamma, hes only doing cmt related work. :'(

to bad, he has the potential to make mad ill maps.

Gamma is actually off Halo completely due to losing his whole tagset.

since when, he told me not to long ago he is only doing what duce tells him to do for cmt (animations). last i checked you dont need a tagset for that.

Ah right, I thought you meant something else, sorry, it's 3am and I'm losing brainpower

Yes he is doing work in the form of animations, if I remember his youtube video correctly...

cool but not as cool as lonewolf's

anyways its released. cool!

gamma will be missed

i watched his videos more than any other person's

Pix?

Cool thanks!

Wrong button on that one... Sorry

Meh, shaders don't look too great... Might just be my laptop screen... IDK

Precisely, so they will be scaled correctly, and not look deformed.

And if you really wanted you can make these your player character, you just need to fix grenade throw animation :P

EDIT: wrong thread. my bad.

VAMOS GAMMA!

...and may flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.

Oddly enough, I already have these tags :3

I wasn't theonly one he gave the tags to, I am aware of that but he told me to release them

I've had this forever imo, finally glad to see gamma gave permission to release :o even though he should have talked to delta but I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind.

And gamma had nothing to do with this odst as far as I know.

Didn't mention him on Credits, I wrote the credits he told me to put.
Didn't say Gamma had anything to do with it, he just told me to release it, the tread is so titled because that's who gave me this ODST

Delta4907 did all the work as far as I am informed. That's all I'm saying lol.

Well he is credited for the appropriate tasks, as in what Gamma told me to do, as the models and textures are Bungie's

I'm not going to credit someone for clicking on a program to rip something out fo a game

It takes more then just using a program to rip something, son. You have no idea theres more work to it then hitting a button. Delta4907 did everything in the rar EXCEPT the edited animations you added to it to my knowledge. There's more work then you know. Don't give me any hurf durf, if you want to see work rip the elephant from sandtrap and try making it work.

Sure, give me the ripping program, the H3 map, and a description of what you want to see it do (I've played H3 multiplayer a whole like 2 times, so your actually gonna have to tell me what you want this vehicle to do)

I'm not giving hurf durf, I am aware of how to rip, but still, not as much effort as 100% custom content... It doesn't matter in the end anyways. As Microsoft owns everything that goes through tool.

Most people give me a hurf durf when I talk about how much time is involved with ripping and effort but true its not as much as 100% but it's still irritating, and I use a laptop mouse pad 90% of the time so it's a pain.

If you aren't being sarcastic I'll find you on xfire.
Edited by Spartan_094 on Jul 26, 2011 at 09:08 PM

Ha!

I smell a challenge.

I was getting more to the point that ripping is not as good as creating custom content... I knew what I meant, sorry if you didn't get what I meant.

So, if I throw this in guerilla and change its animations to the cyborg anims, will this biped work as a player biped?

I haven't tried it... You can try if you want... If you get it to work can you PM me a MF link so that I can include it in the .rar with credit to whoever made it work...

Changing the anims didn't work

Somebody should release a fixed version of this as a player biped
