looks great, cant wait to play!

On the help what do you mean by new textures? Do you mean create new textures, or put new textures on the BSP?

cool :) cant wait.

The Needler shaders shown in that screenshot are terrible, I can give you my H2 Needler with proper shaders if you want.

I like the idea of a b30 overgrown with plants. I def think you need to fix the textures though. People are right, plants don't just grow through metal, heh. Since it's overgrown, you could have some fun with a lot of decayed textures and broken down metal and stuff. If you do it right, it could look really good.

I would LOVE someone to re-texture

Please

Again I would LOVE someone to re-texture. please



If only I can scripted very well I think I would have. If I get someone else to do it, Then what will I be?
I've seen people try to create map teams and the leaders role was "idea maker"... lame. I don't want to leave work for everyone else and I slack off. But I do like new encounters...

I'm going to go attempt to get halo 2 dialog(elite maybe? campaign quotes to replace cortana and 419?)... Unless someone else has one?
Edited by spiral on Oct 9, 2011 at 10:42 AM

The thing is you aren't just the idea maker, I mean just look at the map! It looks amazing, I never thought it would ever be possible to turn a sandy beach into a jungle.




I can script anything you want. You want 5 AI encounters to spawn while playing music while a nav point shows up while your objective changes as dropships come in? Consider it done.

help would be nice. thank you Pepzee!

anyways I thought I should mention that I was using halo 3 hud if anyone cares. since there was no health bar I made it so when you injured cracks will appear on the visor. little weird since your an elite... oh well



oh yeah, I've seem to have ran into a problem, I can't open the .scenario in sapien. I just crashes.
no red text in gurrilla, and the weird part is the scenario can be compiled and played.

why can't I open it in sapien?
actually I'm using "a hobo" (kornman00's version of the HEK) and tool ++ with regular gurilla

Post the last part of debug.txt from the halo custom edition folder.

What do you wish for me to do?

As for the debug problem, open sapien and wait for it to crash again, then go get the last paragraph from the debug text.

If my assumptions are correct the debug should look like:

there. and the "references an invalid sequence" is not the problem. I can open other maps with those tags

wtf does "EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#3157: #1 is not a valid animation_block index in [#0,#1)" mean

Once I'm done vegetizing the map, I will need your help pepzee!

corrupted animation tag somewhere. Did you include a monitor? The Monitors animations cant be ripped correctly, there is a working version online somewhere.

Bleh Kirby beat me.

But there shouldn't be a monitor in this map, other wise when he added it sapien would of crashed then, it mus be something else.
Edited by Pepzee on Oct 9, 2011 at 07:50 PM

no, no monitor. and my monitor works fine anyways

and I created exactly same map with the same tags and it worked...
minus like 200 pieces of scenery

Being able to open it is the important part, hopefully you get all of that scenery back in place quickly though. Keep us updated!

since heempy wasn't very "thinkative" about it..
he created a thread for this

http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=39084
Edited by spiral on Oct 9, 2011 at 08:12 PM

It would look better if you could find an elite HUD.

open a different map, such as bloodgulch, and place all the ai in the map systematically until one of them crashes the game. If that doesn't work then start on anything else with animation tags in them. when the game crashes, you have your culprit!

Actually sir the animation tag is fine,the only corrupted animation in the monitor's animation graph is just one animation I forgot which one it is,all you have to do is open the animation tag and set the slot that is using it to <none>;.

The animation being set to <none>; isn't even noticed.
Edited by DarkLord0912 on Oct 9, 2011 at 10:52 PM

Is there a "uplink" animation for the elites? Is that the problem?
I'm using modified animations so...

Forerunner...so...dirty...what have you done!?

Bill, give me that flamethrower. We're going plant hunting.
-Zekilk

Heretic hunters!

before (yes the shield sucks)


after (still needs some work and the lights I know)


If anyone would like to make theses super epic with glowing bitmaps then go ahead...
there will be jackals...

oh and if I where to add flood, which kind?
original, cmt, halo3, halo2?, re-textured original....
Edited by spiral on Oct 14, 2011 at 08:50 PM
Edited by spiral on Nov 23, 2011 at 12:36 AM

so you play as an elite right? um why no elite hud and fp?
oh and i like the idea and the project. you can add me for help when needed/wanted in xfire, name is : joddyvi

I think i'm going to to use halo 2 elites.

edit: organized my photobucket, picture urls are F'ed up
Edited by spiral on Nov 20, 2011 at 06:17 PM

So uhm, where did you get those armoured forms from..... 'Cause they look mighty familiar......

yeah... Thankyou
proper credit in the end
unless of course, you don't want me to use them.
Edited by spiral on Oct 16, 2011 at 04:59 PM
Edited by spiral on Oct 16, 2011 at 05:04 PM

As long as credit is given I don't mind you using them. If you need any help with some better looking bitmaps or shaders hit me up on xfire and I'll give you a hand.

Xfire: warlordkillsall.

organizing Photobucket screwed up the urls...

Edited by spiral on Nov 20, 2011 at 06:23 PM

psst, spiral. update. we have enough.

ok hold on heempy...

This looks intresting. I'll have to keep up with this.

common page 3 so I can update

Edit: YES page 3
Edited by spiral on Nov 20, 2011 at 06:28 PM

ok update

Oh, Update

So....
Heretic hunters have been updated.

Joddy Created the multi-purpose bitmap so that the hunter can glow!
They will have custom projectile...
EDIT: Projectile should be in a later post

the next things your about to see may make you angry on how noob-ish it is...

The Heretics seemed kinda boring with just carbines so I gave them a new weapon
The Impaler! (as few of you seen in ASCM)
http://www.xfire.com/video/5079c6/
Yeah, it’s now a 2 burst. Does anyone know how to add time in between shots?

I was thinking about grenades...
there can't be frag grenades so I made this
http://www.xfire.com/video/507833/
A needle grenade!
... I totally forgot about the spike grenade.
I might spike grenade that instead..


Oh, and the player you see me play as is most likely the one your not going to play as.

I was testing my mic and realized I could use it!
I tried elite voice acting, so yeah I changed my voice
http://www.xfire.com/video/507aaf/
...
I got halo2 hud, not quiet complete...
(if anyone has a complete elite halo2 hud then that would be nice)
I have halo2 dialog
and I might have forgotten some things...
