Ok had an idea for a simi custom campaign(Storyline will be custom, bsp's will be custom mixed with non custom stoke halo bsp's) Here is a script of how it might be....
______________________________________________________________________________
-Spartan wakes up inside cryotube to find him inside a covenant jail room with a few elites surrounding him.-

Elite Major carbine-
“Had a nice sleep demon?" "Tell us.... Where is the key?”

Spartan-
“The key…?”

Brute plasma rifle-
“Be quick with it demon, before I rip your face off your skull!”

Elite Zealot-
“Quiet!” “If you were to do that now, the Prophets will surely kill you.” “Heh, too bad the Brutes don’t get to become Arbiters.”

Brute plasma rifle-
“Hurmph….”

Elite Zealot-
“Don’t play dumb demon. We intercepted a radio contact shortly before we boarded your ship saying that a human.... A Spartan… numbered 1-4-6 has found the location of the key!” “And that person, is you!” “NOW WHERE, IS, THE KEY!”

Spartan-
“I don’t remember…. Who am I…? And who are yo-?"
Plasma rifle Brute-
“RRRRAAAAAAAHH!!!”

Elite Zealot-
“Wait…. He might just be suffering a short term memory loss from his cryo sleep. I heard a few prisoners talking about one of their engineer named Davison sending too much sleeping gas through there cryotubes.” “Sometimes causing them short term memory loss.” “They sounded pretty angry.” “But enough of this…” “Keep him locked up and secured until he-“

*Door explodes and an Odst runs in towards the control panel screaming *

Odst-
“AAAAHHHHHHHHH!”

*All covenant turns to look*

Elite Zealot-
“Kill him!”

*All Covenants run towards him and a horde of flood barges in*

*Firefight breaks loose*

*Odst clicks the panel and opens the prison doors, you walk out of cryotube*

Odst-
“Go! Go!”

*The Odst and you run out of the crowd of covenant and flood and into the hall way*

Odst-
*Panting* “Oh my god I really need to get in shape more. I’m amazed I’m even an Odst…” “Well… Enough of that.” “First, you need a weapon.” “Here, take this pistol.” “It’s all I got right now….”

*You look at his back and he has a rocket launcher and two smg’s on the side of his legs*
(Pistol has one bullet in it, no reloads)


Odst-
"Okay, let's go."

*You and Odst walks towards the covi sliding door*

*Covi door sound*
__________________________________________________________________

I will make a manga of it to give you guys a better view of what i am seeing... For those of you who don't know what a manga is, it's a Japanese version of a comic book. Usually(If popular enough) would most likely be made into what some of you might know as anime. It's read from right to left rather than from left to right.

I sort of already made a part of the bsp for the outer level.

What I can do-

Draw\concept art?
Sort of come up with storyline
Sort of 3d model....
Put some sort of layout of where i want things to go and what to happen.
Voice act?
Mostly draw.... >.>

What I can't do-
Put anything in-game....T-T
Script
Good encounters
Cut-scenes
How things are needed to be to be able to be put ingame.
ects....

Polly count as of now- 32,349

Is that alot? /:|

Yes, i know i didn't show any pictures, yes i know this might die, yes i will not care much if it did, as long as i know i had tried. I will most likely want to use CMT weapons ects.. Excluding the Elite and Spartan. I might redesign the spartan, and maybe the elite.... Maybe if this goes good, i might redesign weapons and other things...

I want someone who is familiar with OS, texturing/shadering or what ever, voice actors, animators, modelers (No i do not mean people who model... I don't need a bunch of pictures of half naked dudes. XD It'll be lovely if they were chicks, bu- *UH HUM....* errr....), and anyone else who could work on something that i had missed...

Oh...and also someone with Cmt tags... I sort of reinstalled halo and deleted all my tags a few weeks ago. (:p)

If all fails... I'm just going to be necroing some of my old drawing threads and start making halo manga of my ideas... Of how it could have turned out.... If it didn't go wrong... If it did make it... If- Okay I'll stop.... People won't help.... ^ This will happen.... >.> Not that i don't mind if it did.... I see failure on this project in my future... >.> *Huff* At least I'm trying to make something interesting right? /:|

I'm starting to have doubts on this project... I shouldn't have created this thread... X( It's going to be filled with people going- "You're not even going to be doing anything but boss people around!" :(

Yeah. You're going to have a Odst buddy with you for most, or maybe even all of the game. It's going to be more of a comedic campaign.

This seems interesting. I would definitely play it. But the real problem is... can you execute the map building correctly?

I will try to help with what you need.I'm currently thinking about making a Headhunter singleplayer map/campaign.Maybe you can make a BSP for me or I can use yours. XD
Don't give up!

I don't think your skill-set really is that of a designer (as you kind of sum-up yourself), however people will always have use for a good concept artist. Perhaps you can try and join a team based on that.

Also, should you ever decide to start some form of campaign, you can always ask me questions about design-related issues should you run into trouble. I don't mind helping people out :-)

If all fails here... I will help you... Even though i'm not sure what's really the proper way to make a map that can go ingame, other than; no open edges, nothing needs to intersect, and it doesn't need to have insane poly count... I think.... I wish i knew what the limit was so i don't make it too high poly.....

I can design... Just not sure if it would work sometimes...:( I sort of wanted to join a team, but it would be kind of awkward making a thread going "I wanna join a team!:O" wouldn't it? /:| I will ask if i have any problems. -_- Forgiven each other from the past? I did a long while back... :|

Wow, you guys stay up late. :| But uh... The thing is.... People might complain about this.... But i want someone to do the put ingame and modding. I just want to instruct (Ttrust me, it isn't as bad as it sounds... The word instruct makes it seem like I'm going to be bossing everyone about every little thing, but I'm most likely not... unless that's what i have to do...), concept, storyline, map design (like draw out the map and draw areas where encounter's and what enemies would go in the encounter's...), and most likely make the bsp's... Not so very sure about texturing it though... So right now i need some one to be the modder, the person who is going to be putting everything in.

I also want a background of yourself if you want to help. Just post it here to see if people here would agree that you are either a bad person or not. I don't want any leakers. :(

Err... The first level has 2 covenant cruiser, the one from a50, and the one from d20. Yes, it is going to be the gravity lift part from a50, and the outside area of d20. Before we can do anything, i would have to make a quick manga of the first level. Sorry for writing to much. :p

I'm not good for much but at least you've got someone to help you.You want a background?Here it is:
*Released one map.Ever.Used public assets.Proper credit was given.
*Never participated in any other projects.Useless for advanced roles.
*Minor experience with scripting.
*Never leaked anything.I never had anything to leak.
*Anything else? Nothing else.

Sadly, I don't know what I'm doing really. :( This is my first time with this, so if anyone who as good experience with managing a group or a team, please post tips and maybe join and help me out a bit. Like tell me what i need people to do to make this mod successful. I know i need a few people who is really good at scripting, modeling, doing cut-scenes(also giving characters dialogs), and getting rid of errors and getting things ingame in the most efficient way.

Dumb AI what are you good at and want to do?

If you want to join, please explain what you are best at or what you can do, then tell what you want to do. Even though I am new at this, I am still wanting to aim high for the best quality and visuals. I am also wanting good voice actors for the characters. (I am going to be doing the voices for the elites, brutes, jackal, grunts, some marines/odsts, the main character spartan if i can't find someone that is fitting for the part.) I have a feeling this will die... T-T

Um,I'm not very good at any specific thing,but I could try to help with anything you may need.Voice acting is one thing I can do.As for cutscenes,Dratt would be your man but I'm experimenting with it.The thing is,we need more people.I can do scripting as well as good encounters.

Aiming high is probably the last you want to do,considering that we only have 2 novices planning to work on this.Our skill set is very limited at this moment.

Ok helping, voice acting, got it.
I will think up some characters later. All i got so far is the idea of how they escape and what will happen. I know aiming high is not the best idea, but at least it'll give you the feeling of wanting to create a master piece. :3 So your in? :| Ok. I am not putting anything ingame(because i can't T-T)so i need someone with a good tagset. What i might need is; cmt tags and effects, the new things are not coming out soon so there will most likely be place holders. :| If you think there are some tags that would look cool in the level but need modified looks, give them to me and i will try the best i can to change how it looks with 3ds max. And then i will need someone to unwrap and texture it (also give me the thingy when you unwrap and i will also try texturing it too. When we both are done, we will compare and choose the best texture to use. ;3 ) and then tag it.
I also want lots of plant scenery because this first level will be a jungle map. I will try to make some models, but like i said before.... Need someone to put ingame. If you guys find anyone who would help please ask them for me, for i do not really think i can take responsibility to organize everyone to do what they need to do, and keep everyone on task. For i am new to this.... I wish i could do all this by myself... T_T

Polly count as of now... - 32,337 Lol it went down by 12 pollies

Oh... Forgot... Xp fail. Here are some pics that look like crap but looks a lot better when you actually look at the 3d model yourself.

This is the top view. It is d20 mixed with the gravity lift part of a50, with an extended mountainside.


Added an area for the sharp shooters on the side of the cliff on the left...


I might be make it steeper, as it was originally intended to be.


A close upish picture of the crevice.


Top view again.


I haven't changed anything on the d20 level except for the side connecting to the a50 level because it's kind of hard to see with everything being to close together. XD

^ This... is what we need... The h3 things can be place holders if it has to. Only him/her and me so far.... T-T I will give this another day or two tops before i decide it's dead... and then it'll just be the comic.... I mean there will be comics either way but.... We do need more people. I have also only thought up a bit of the storyline for the beginning, so if you guys want some kind of manga comic or concept art, expect some tomorrow. I would be glad if someone familiar with team campaign creation to be the lead assistant to keep people on task and find them something to do, or find more people. I need some one to teach and assist on how to lead a team, and how to give specific task for people.....

Beginning level- You wake up with all the ruckus, escapes the ship because of an explosion on the side of the covenant cruiser, and go through the d20 exterior level with different encounters and scenery until you reach the gravity lift part. Then you get chased down this super steep mountainside by a very nooby hunter encounter coming down from the gravity lift(by nooby, i mean alot of hunters... Like maybe 10-12 or so hunters.) (Yes on purpose). You slide down to the crevice and then the odst gets a radio contact to go to this area where they will be picked up.

Main level-Help the monitor get the key back from the Flood and use it to deactivate halo(which was a lie told by the monitor, which is not 343 guilty spark. Same concept of the Halo series, but not exact.)

(You guys are probably waiting to see more storyline before you guys decide to do anything huh? ....Tomorrow. -_-) I would like more comments though...
