EDIT:
THIS IS OLD HERETIC HUNT


Please go to my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/spiral779

and/or my newer thread here: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=46720



By Spiral and Heempy!



What is this?

A little campaign mod by Spiral and Heempy
This is a modification of the standard campaign, only with new encounters and with a new feel!
You are now elites, dropped of by phantoms, killing heretics!
(and yes, the phantom works!)



So far we've only redone b30, the silent cartographer. This mod will change the feel of each map
with a dramatic change in scenery. b30 is now a overgrown jungle indoors, sounds weird but it turned out pretty good! (its not cmt good so yeah)




Tags!
Obviously Heretic by the Title

These heretics where requested by me a while ago and that call of distress was answered by Co1t3r. (thank you!)

after carefully thinking about the campaign me and heempy realized "only carbines and needlers?" boring. heempy set out on a great journey to find what he could for the mod and he found...


These weapons and more will be incorporated
Thanks to Ifafudafi's ASCM(I loved it!), the missions will be less repetitive in weapons tags (sorry I had to turn the plasma beam orange, brute plasma rifle's fault).
proper credit will be given in the end

Brutes?
there will be numerous dead brute squads to give loads of ammo, brute ammo!
inspired from halo 2


not sure if we are going to add brute teammates, seems weird

Help us please
I don't want to sound needy but
We would appreciate
-needle rifle

-focus rifle... http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=39014

-jackal sharp shooters or sharpshooter animation

-maybe a re-texture of the map

-a person to help create new encounters like I don't know, a banshee flying in (scripter?)

-NEW VINES PLEASE

-More swamp scenery like SWAMP TREES PLEASE

-Better fuel rod! (yeah, jesse released one)

-Halo 2 Dialog (did it my self... most of it)

edit-

ok...





and old ghost

btw Should we add flood?
(sorry if I disappointed anyone)

Must... have.... Heretics....

*enthralled*

I hope we get to play as them at some point.
Edited by Echo77 on Oct 8, 2011 at 04:12 PM

tah da!

not only will this be a campaign mod, there will be a separate mod for firefight!

.... can somebody tell me why those plants are growing in dark metal areas? if the metal was cracked with the plants coming out, with them ensnaring light producing objects, I could understand... but directly in the metal with very little light.....

sorry theses pictures are a bit old, the growing out of no where thing is fixed

It being a swamp and everything I would say yes to flood.

But I do think that the whole jungle thing turned out pretty well.

hey can help you in the project ... i always have some ideas like this i even make a possible heretic wraith also i can retexture some parts of the levels if you need if you want my help add me to xfire
lmtheretic

I would appreciate help from anyone but
umm, I have a xfire but how the heck do I use it?
Edited by spiral on Oct 8, 2011 at 05:10 PM

oh got it
Edited by spiral on Oct 8, 2011 at 05:19 PM

you download it,install it, make your account, add me
and you can post pic and vids of your projects and gameplay in many games

DAMN SON!!!

leave flood out of it. then when you get to the second mission or so put them in there towards the end.

That's interesting...

Does anyone care if the teammates are halo 3 elites, or should I change them to halo 2?

Why not CMT elites?

anyone disagree?

No. They should be using their own tags.

this looks good but I'd feel as if I'm playing for the wrong team, after all, heretics are good guys, right? Why not make it where you play as the heretics instead.

Maybe if you could script the level sort of differently where you start off on the outer part of the level, and defend the level in a sort of losing battle that requires you to retreat to the interiors of the level, like maybe instead of deactivating the security doors you fight to do the opposite and actually activate them

maybe?

I would but..
I can't scripted. That seems like a good idea for mission (or a v2).



crap. I can't do crap except rip, fix, texture, gurilla, sapien, compile, and give credit
but It turns out nice unlike some others.

so what elites?

I'm sure for an interesting project like this you could find a scripter if you really wanted to, but okay

preaching to the choir on that one :p

I'll probably play the level regardless, but Covies vs Heretics was done in Halo 2, and as fun as it was, it would be interesting to see things from the perspective of the Heretics.

Or Covenant vs Humans. Something that makes you feel evil. >:P

I've just never liked being evil, even in video games, but I always get joy from slaughtering defenseless enemies in very brutal merciless ways, which is why I swooned at the rebirth island level with all those defenseless scientists

Hold on I'm getting a little confused on this one. What exactly is this?

Since you just said you can't script I assume this is just a mp with AI in it? Or this is a mod that plays exactly like b30 with different bipeds?

I know it says campaign mod, but to be that just means you reused a BSP for something else.
Edited by Pepzee on Oct 8, 2011 at 10:21 PM

I can scripted very minimally.
mod that plays like b30...

and for that brief fire fight thing I have help

What exactly would you need help scripting in?

Umm, Is that an offer to help? I don't need much.

maybe a banshee or 2. perhaps some flood, or more vehicles
Edited by spiral on Oct 8, 2011 at 10:29 PM

I'm considering it, it depends on what you want and what I see.

You could probably just add those to existing encounters, no need to create anew encounter and script it in.

told you you could find a scripter spiral, damn i should'v bet money

also btw I recommend new encounters and just scripting in the vehicles

in case you don't know, the scripting commands for vehicles are basically:

if objects aren't placed at level start:
ai_place (ai encounter name goes here)
object_create (vehicle name here)

finally:
vehicle_load_magic "seat name goes here, driver, gunner, etc." (vehicle name here)

I think that's pretty much how it goes, might be missing a word or two, or maybe some punctuation, I haven't scripted in awhile due to being banned from all video games for a month in order to build a "better family relationship" -.-'

Plant's can't grow through metal... make a decoy of dirt and broken metal plates so it looks decent...

I believe it's called a "decoy" alcahol dunna help :/

Hope there is halo 2 like voice acting or in depth story.

egarding with some heretic equipment I was wondering if you can heretize the lamp/torches instead of blue maybe a yellow orange or red light

it seems weird to have the black plasma rifle i think i saw it in a video once its cool but it doesn't fit covenant weaponry but if you really like it i guess ill trust it up to you to make a good campaign!

if you want growth consider moss in tunnels and in the structures

illuminated wall would look cool too

needler looks eh

if you have sentinel beams will there be sentinels/enforcers? and youre discussing about flood battle already(i think a flood level should be separate level or revisit level

i dont like just having around dead brutes, if you can let them ride the phantoms and have them in cut scenes like in halo 2

i really like the feel of the level so far, what kind of operation is this if i may ask?

You can just add extra AI to the original encounters. As for vehicles you would have to add the commands to the scope of the script block.

---

To be honest what I would do is script from scratch. I would not use the original campaign for this. I would give the player different encounters, stories, HUD messages, music, objectives, everything. This would not be a campaign mod, but a custom level besides the BSP.

There would be no resemblance between this and the actual b30 campaign, besides the BSP.
Edited by Pepzee on Oct 8, 2011 at 11:41 PM

I like this idea.

yes but that would remove some of the opportunities for customization that are given with a fresh encounter, which is why I made this suggestion

The only thing I can think of is the team it is on, and if you want it blind and whatnot.

Other than that you can do anything with a pre-existing encounter. Add an extra grunt, elite, ect.

Another Campaign Mod.. ughh

*oh wait* PICTURES.

Thank You for not being some noobs leeching for help, and actually progressing. I will be watching this. +1

On the other hand, looks very fun and promising! Make me want to download Halo CE again!
