Awesome job with the port. Lets hope it turns out fun and awesome, unlike Seclusion.

I'm sure you know this, but weapons on the ground can be resized without changing the model.

I agree with you. Delusions such as: "wanking in an xfire convo is the pinnacle of self-confidence!" :p

Yes sir, I do. I made the shotgun be the size of the containers just for lols.


Arbiter100 stresses that this is NOT a port by traditional means. Sure we used H3 scenery and textures, but so did H2 mombassa, and that's a new thing. The BSP we are using is custom, but based on an already existing concept or map.

Hello there, I know who you are :-)
One hell of an internet tough-guy, that's for sure!

You tell 'em Thorolf28! :p

It saddens me that you think the real world is the fantasy world, and the weed-filled world is the real one. Wake up, Thorolf. Open your eyes the world is outside.
E: actually it doesn't sadden me, you're the one with the sad internet-based life :P

I know you're ranting, but all I read is:

Wise words indeed, from a sick deluded boy :-)
Weedpower!!1!

You guys know you have no chance of getting anything out of this, right? Your assertions are completely justified but it is entirely hopeless to try to get lodeman to realize it.

Its too bad you trolls have ruined this place, I just get a kick out of seeing how persistent your efforts are :-)

The two of you stop by yourself or you will be stopped.

True friends will never turn against you (in a perfect world,that is).

So long as Foundry has enough map space, then I'll do it. I've been holding off doing it..if theres enough space I can do all perms and secondary colors.

Awesome job folks, looking forward to release ;)

Any plans for a server?

Not sure if it's going to stay this way, but currently MatthewDratt (I think) has a server up for the beta build that we played.

There's not much to do for secondary colors, simply use the color change properties in the tag. takes up 0 space. But yeah, armor perms would be pretty cool

^Halo 3 has two different colour change parts on armors...

Yeah, CE can support up to 4.

I've talked to Maniac1000 and he said he MIGHT be able to use 3ds to light up the map for super sharp shadows. If I know my stuff, the lightmaps would be fairly large, meaning possibly less tagspace...

I herd OS lets you get around size limits?

You have a /lot/ more tagspace, but memory upgrades are yelo only.

^ Glad your trying to use max for the lighting. I know how to do it though, I have the slightest clue how to get it into CE. I think shadowing is a big part for making a map look good, so I hope you have good luck with it.

once i finish my reach stuff i will give this map the sauce it deserves

But not the kind it needs right now.

If I don't do it first.

Oh dear me. Killzone, I know you're probably joking, but this is actually one thing against having it unprotected (not that our decision to leave it unprotected will ever change.)

TBH, I only ever really want to see my H3 version and a classic one (with the former hopefully being as successful as snowgrove.)

you can use the tool_pro, it let's you compile maps with sizes over the limits, it worked for both (h3) Core and (h3) Imposing v2 in my case so yeah, if you want it pm me and i will send it to you personally

Is that really necessary?

Sure I agree it shouldn't be used for multiplayer unless it somehow becomes mainstream, but to just trash it like that...?

What's SO bad about it really? If it makes it easier to produce mods and achieve effects that otherwise wouldn't be possible, how does it really differ from any other tweak or hack to the games editing tools that we've seen, in terms of quality?

Personally I think OS is badass, I don't see why it's garnering so much hate. Until someone comes up with an alternative method of producing similar effects I don't see why anyone should refrain from using it.

It's 2013 son, if we would have looked through a crystal ball and seen the stuff OS can do back in 2006 we would've creamed our jeans and been all over it.

this^

plus there aren't any shortcuts to speak of, if your stuff is crap then its crap.

not to mention the bonus of countless scripting functions and added tagspace, improved shader system, increased particle count, increased bsp rendering, more objects on screen, unit infections, random fp animations, better damage, more grenades, etc.

the list is much longer, but i cut it short so that i could ask, why all the hate on something that doesn't deserve it?

Go ahead and post why it shouldn't be used.

Saying that effects shouldn't be added to the game is ridiculous, it's what the community has been trying to do since Halo CUSTOM Edition came out.

Any further modification would be moving towards Halo 2? Okay everyone lets STOP everything we're doing. We're getting too close to Halo 2, it's time to stop.

While we're at it lets all go play some Blood Gulch with Mexicans.



Not.

Gameplay wise you don't need it at all. Visual wise you could make it look even better while still retaining your current look for non OS users while keeping it a .map.

There is no reason it "must" use it, but it sure would look even more pretty with normals that would only render for those who have it installed.

I'm not even saying your map should use it.

Just trying to understand what your problem is with it, when its a tool among many other tools that help modders achieve new effects. If you think that mods are starting to get too far away from the core Halo: Combat Evolved experience (at least visually), then I'd have to say that's real rich coming from someone who rips bitmaps from Halo 3.

Not that ripping is a bad thing.

See what I'm sayin?

I'm just going to say that I'm not a big fan of killzone's stuff, a good OS remake would be done by CMT or ki11a, otherwise it'd be a random OS remake.
Start by handeling stock before using OS. I'm not even close to it.
Used wrong, OS will just highlight the mistakes in stock tagging/porting

^
Expect for some people like cmt, waffles, killa, killzone etc....

But I totaly agree with your opinion DSalimander , you can make very nice stuff without OS and his "features". Do never use OS for that map please ! It looks awesome right now without OS.
