Don't worry, I still like you Limited. Well I was a little upset when Chelsea beat Genk with 5-0 but hey we made up for it two weeks later in Genk :-)

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR IDIOCY, PEOPLE. Are you all seriously this conceded?



@Masters: Sounds cool. I like the way y'all are setting up the Brutes. I'm glad to know the Elites are still enemies that would kick your ass.

Jackals are looking better, but I'm not sure what it is; either the head or the helmet is too big.

Your choice to make adjustments though.


Seems like everyone here is just obsessed with proving themselves right.

I know this is a weird question to ask- but will there be a formal trailer released for spv3? I've just always liked trailers for greatly anticipated games/mods. Thanks.

gather around everybody, it's story time.

Once upon a time, there was an adorable little baby boy born. his name was Dane.

Dane grew up in an average austrailian home, raised by an upstanding aussie family, his father, his mother, and his assorted siblings of varying genders. he went to school like all the other kids. unfortunately for him, he was often harassed and called a faggot for making random 45 degree patterns all over the walls with permanent markers, as well as bending paper clips into perfect triangles.

he went home and cried, cried and cried to his family about how mean all the kids at school were. his family wiped his tears and told him it would be cool, and told him to keep drawing those 45 degree patterns all over everything, just to spite those big bullies.

then one day he met a bloke named Boddie. Bodzilla was a chill bro, constantly playing his guitar like a boss, making home-made alcohol, being a total bro. the two hung out and Dane had another source of venting. Boddie was too chill to do anything but be a total cool bro.

Dane began showing off his 45 degree patterns to the internet, in halo forums. using filters out the ass, his work impressed. he asked for criticism and got it, and was happily improving his amazing 45 degree patterns.

then the most unspeakable thing happened. Dane's sister passed. Sad as it may be, and as unfortunate and untimely as it may have been, it sent Dane into a fit of seething rage. Dane did the only thing he knew how to do.

he drank himself stupid, night after night.

Dane's did not know how to handle the death of his sister, and rather than living on to be an upstanding individual which most people would have wanted, he sat at home with all the lights off at midnight, not a sound to be heard around the house, under candle light, using MSPaint's angle tool to continue making those 45 degree angles. on a whim after reading about demonic spells on the internet, he used the circle tool and the line tool (as well as the spray paint tool to add assorted blood drips), he made a 1024/1024 pentagram. he summoned the devil himself to take away his soul to turn him into an amazing artist, transforming him into a monsterous d-bag.

he became a conspiracy theorist. All those kids at school, all those evil bullies, were out to get him. to kill him. to denounce his beloved 45 degree patterns. they were sent by the government to try to lock him away and recover his soul from satan himself.

he joined modacity, and began to harass m00kz, some insecure emo furfag. while m00kz had produced some delightful animations and total conversions, Dane felt it necessary to research this kid and discover some unsettling facts about him: offsite, m00kz was an artist. a furry porn artist, producing images of alien species engaging in homosexual intercourse. Dane, being the superior being that he was, having sold himself to the devil, called m00kz out on this. m00kz did the only thing insecure emo furfag cases know how to do; he quit the internet.

http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?14010-See-ya

at the end of this whole thing Dane got banned, as the people had seen the seething soul of satan himself slipping out of Dane's posts. it's not at all because he was a d-bag in general or anything. And to this day, Dane refuses to post on Modacity because they're a bunch of sheeple who listen to Justin Beiber and Kanye West.

And that leaves us where he is today; on Halomaps, picking fights because his 45 degree angles are far superior to all of yours, you worthless piles.

you better bow down to his amazing art and respect the fact that he sold his soul to make the 45 degree patterns he blesses your visual receptacles with.

hail satan.

Terrible story 0/10. I want my time back.

too bad, it's mine

Terrible story, 0/10, I want my time back, and so should you.

bro I'm obviously a better story teller than you could ever be so your opinion is automatically invalid.

Well I guess you got a point...

it'd make a good movie...

ANYWAY regarding the brutes, you're saying the you a certain chance to encounter either brutes and elites in each encounter? how'd you pull that one off?

iMovie is awesome. :)



We've added new scripts that are intertwined with bungies.



That's from the first area in T&R. rather than just do ai_place for the elites, we have that bit with "random_range" and then the brute version of the elite_back squad with our changes. In each of those squads, there are multiple spawn points for the elites and brutes. So suppose there rare are 4 spawn points for the elites, 2 of those will be PR elites, one could be a needler elite, and the fourth can be a carbine. So if we have one AI spawn, then theres a 25% chance it will have a carbine, a 25% chance it will have a needler, and a 50% chance that it will be a PR, and each time one is selected to spawn it is not available for the next AI that is going to be spawned if your difficulty is legendary and calls for 2 elites, and not one.

So when what was an Elite encounter loads, theres a 50% chance it can become a Brute encounter, or a 50% chance it will stay Elite. If it stays as an Elite and spawns one AI, then you have 3 possible weapons that AI will spawn with. If it switches to Brute, it will spawn 2 Brutes if on easy/normal, 3 on Hard (which is what the mod is designed for), and 4 on Legendary. Each spawn point for the Brutes has a different designated actor_variant which has a specified weapon, so that those Brutes can spawn with different weapons each time you play.

Pro jackals. The light on the sniper should be toned down a bit though, because it looks too glary. Make it less bright, but still easily evident.

i liked the story :)

Yo Masterz, from experience I can say bungie's randomiser doesn't really work super random or well at all. So unless you guys somehow changed it in OS that script won't REALLY work correctly.

Yeah, the randomizer is pre-determined when your map is compiled. Every single time you will have the same outcome.

Thank you sir! Your positive opinion matters to me and is taken willingly regardless of your skill level of story telling!

I'm so glad you guys love the story I wrote on the end of last page!! It makes me feel like my life isn't completely worthless !!

While I share your dislike for Dano getting personal like that isn't necesary at all.

well that's just like your opinion man 8)

another question, will cmt be incorporating new tracks to the new bsps, or will it just be a loop of an already existing track like in spv2? ALSO will you be replacing the original score with the redone CEA soundtrack?

and you've been changing ai dialog already, so can we expect to see new marine, elite, grunt, etc. dialog from later halo games?

LASTLY, will you be doing more HD remakes of halo's more basic bitmaps like you did with fire bitmaps and a few others in spv2? because though ifafudafi's effects are great, the bitmaps that are used to make them (the default impact and firing flash bitmaps) themselves are a bit dated

Great, can't wait for the trailer whenever it comes :)

if halomaps had a like button, you'd have over 9000!

We really should have like/dislike buttons.

From the halomods.

......Anyway. I love the jackals but i do agree that the light is a little blinding and distracting, maybe tone down the light by 1/3 the strength and shrink it a little, just my opinion take it or leave it. the models for the weapons and everything are awesome but they look Really high poly. idk they are awesome, but i'm afraid my weak old computer won't be able to handle it :/, either way you guys are still legendary and the best team out there. my congratulations on the new work and the great turn out

Look up normal maps before you start criticizing poly count

Yeah, then anyone who has an opinion can be downvoted. Sounds like a wonderful idea.

Pardon me for being Dennis for a second:
We're not going to have a voting system, this is getting off topic.

I'm not criticizing, i'm just saying that i'm afraid that my lazy computer graphics card wont be able to run it smoothly. And i really want to be able to play this, since it's so good looking.

What do you have? It should be alright. Get a modern computer if yours wont handle this... cheap one would be fine :/

just face facts that you need a new graphics card and go buy a new one for 100 bucks, unless your pc's like mine and is too crappy to hold up a new one and would run the risk of basically frying what's left of your pc. stupid 2007 acer tech -.-

2007 Acer tech and it fries your pc? My old PC runs counter strike source and even portal 2 fine with 512mb ram and a 128mb graphics card back from 2004. It runs Halo CE on cmt's campaign SPV2 at 100+fps

I have $46 and don't have a job...i can't afford Anything. i am running a dell latitude D620. it can run halo fine just can't process to many faces, without lagging like crap.
