Yeah it's not that I care what they think, I just wanted to verify that I am not some anomaly who actually likes this non-colory-theory-compliant mapstyle.

I personally find the old colors better, on the newer version it seems as if the purple has more power + the green is much saturated.

E3pO made a tool to unwrap your own lightmaps.
I have no idea how it works tho...

Yah especially that Kornman00, was a smug tard he is.

Kornman isn't the worst, however.

On another note, why has the topic of this thread been forgotten? This thread is about FireFight Descent - not about people over at modacity.

Choclate Thunda making awesome hud elements as always. :O

Tease. Poke.

That is in game....? I took it in a dark area to show you what elements I had done and what not, if I put it in a bright area it wouldn't be easy to see each element. And what do you mean by that? you last comment doesn't make much sense.

I think he's saying that you'll rarely be moving through a pitch-black corridor in-game, and he wants an idea of how visible the HUD would be if it was in a bit more conventional environment.

That'll be when the moose or pepzee posts it in descent. The base hud is done, so right now im just making the weapon huds cause all thats left. Once thats done descent should be released soon.

Firefight Descent looks very interesting,especially with the loadout system.
[size=1]I'm guessing that at least some of the map's contents will be released.

Scripts are being released with the map, and I'll probably release some of my own tags that I did for the map. Such as the Halo 2 small crate and its shaders, which was tagged from scratch for use in the map.

@Mooseguy. Im glad to hear that the shaders and particles have gotten an overhaul, I would definitely be willing to work on some of them if you are interested.

OK,"lighting seems to affect HUD",is that your problem/point?
Perhaps I can use loadouts...

You guys remember this?

No? Okie dokie.
Thank you for the offer. Because the contents of the map are pretty much final, save the HUD and a shader or two, nothing else is really changing in the map at this point. But again, thank you.


@Devon, the navs look pretty much the same ingame. It's a night map. No need to make a big deal out of this.

How is it misleading? It just gives you a better idea of what the HUD pieces look like without background interference in the image. Its not as if the HUD changes when it's against a brighter background, it's just less visible. You really are getting worked up over nothing :P

Technically its not since it is ingame. And you can ask almost everyone here, even Jesse, and the'll tell you I know what I'm doing when it comes to hud work. Me Mooose and Pepzee have played with it in descent's and normal lighting, and we all agree it looks and works great. And as said before, the reason why is so dark is because you can see how much detail I put into my huds. And the normal lighting pic will come later on because it ATM isn't complete. Don't worry about that and enjoy the work I've delved into it.

The funny thing is the AI syncs on the Floods. Whatsup with dat, I don't know...

But it syncs, at least visually.

Nope.
There may be the same number of AI, but that is as simple as setting the max and min to the same values.
The AI themselves, however, do not sync.

No, not just the same AI.

I've always thought the term 'sync' to be in the same place, same time, acting the same way. And, it happens when I play The Floods with my friends.

I don't profess to know exactly what it is, but it is pretty consistent around most of my friends computers.

They cannot, do not, and will not sync.
What your seeing is a coincidence.
Halo CE's MP engine does not transmit AI data.

Meh.

Player firefight is better anyway.

Liking the textures, btw. Very... fresh, and vibrant.

But I don't wanna be forever alone ;~;

Beep Boop... Donsky

That needs my sp laser...
This one is too ugly lol

Ew you're using my old old bad Plasma Pistol animations...I don't know where the new ones are though. I have the scenes maybe I think perhaps not sure ._.

I'm showing off the HUD not weapons, what do you think?

The HUD is obviously good, but arent these the weapons used in the map ?

These are most of the weapons used in the map.

How can y'all expect me to have the best of the best of all the weapon tags? I'm no wizard lol. I've made an effort to make the weapon set as good as possible with what I had to work with.

Anyways, there's the new HUD. We also did something cool with the flashlight HUD element, which you'll be seeing later.

It's amazing what people will complain about. The tagset looks nice and coherent, I approve and look forward to release.

Yeah..... First improve your anims. That's would be a nice idea mister bourrin.

I'm liking it! :)


If you gave your laser to Descent that would be pretty cool.

Bourrin was kind enough to let me use his really nice spartan laser. Thanks Bourrin!

So the HUD is now in, and most of the script issues have been fixed. Once Pepzee is able to send me the next test build after his trip, the build after that should be the release build. So expect to be playing this in the near future.

When will be the release date of this map?
