sent you a PM, no need to derail this thread any further

That comment was aimed at Long Wang, not you xP You ninja'd me...

Return to the topic of the thread: Post open-sauce shaders here!

L28 told me on xfire he's just trolling because he enjoys seeing the reactions, so it's best to just ignore what he says. He still has personal issues with me because I once told people he had a troll account on halomaps, the start of a trolling empire for him. Oh well :-)

Either way, it's pretty sad to see people beating the dead horse that "only the lumoria team" can have opinions, even when I've said over and over its bs and that I value opinions. The only thing I have a problem with is incorrect statements (which are not opinions). Also seeing some of the dumb posts in the "lumoria sucks" thread, makes me realise just how downhill this "community" has gone since CMT returned. The community was going down a very creative, fun road before that, and now is being forced in a stupid direction where everything is about graphics. Not only that, but the increase of random trolls is remarkable. A terrible shame, I hope that people like Hiralis secure a future for good custom campaigns.

I suggest banning Open Sauce from this forum, as it and its PR team have brought this community into a negative state of mind. They have their own website, and yet feel the need to post their incorrect nonsense here all the time. Oh well.

FTFY.

But seriously, lets get back on topic before Dennis brings down the ban hammer. Alexis, have you messed with any Reach content at all?

well to get this thread back on track, i sauced the reach fp arms


and yes in the background that is the reach watchtower.

more pics (ignore the dmr scope its a wip)



(im not entirely sure what happened with the upper arms but i need to fix those).


everything in the photos is sauced, i'm working on a complete opensauce reach tagset.

on and any tips on making covi shaders, i am terrible at them.

I planned on doing the Spartan models and a few weapons. If the rigging was correct when extracting the spartans, I would have more drive to work on them... hahah

Generally, my process after extracting the models is to remove all of Bungie's smoothing groups, and apply my own. This helps me get the shaders reacting with light in the way I think they should.

Reach models are really high poly in most cases, so it can take some time.

those crates 0.o

are those barriers and crates seriously in-gameable? what is the poly count?

all ripped directly from reach, still getting 60 fps with v sync on, it shouldn't cause issues if you set up the bounding radius properly.

the barricade is 3, 870 tris

and the crate is 4,404 tris

and i have one more question, how is everyone above setting up the bloom, i never figured it out.

annnd, oops i dropped something


that is the reach gravity hammer, i have not done much shaders wise but ill get there,

ill get to fixing that later
more pics!!!!

wow, you guys are awesome! good shaders!
following the advice of others, i'm re-making the bitmaps for stock objects (new diffuse, multi, specular, and normal maps), but seeing how i'm getting married next saturday, i won't be posting anything for a while. have to put my wife first, you know.

For god-sakes fix those origins on the DMR and AR

yea that is probably the next thing that i am going to do after fixing the hand placement for the third person gravity hammer

that AR was not ported by me though, i believe that was Jesse or someone else that did it.

i still have to fix my AR as it floats magically above the hands

FTFY.

But seriously, lets get back on topic before Dennis brings down the ban hammer. Alexis, have you messed with any Reach content at all?

how about you shut up, lodeman? all you're doing is making yourself look like an arse. if you hate opensauce SOOOOOOO much then why did you come and post in a thread that REVOLVES around opensauce?

Hey clonecam, how about you read what I actually post instead of being a Masterz fanboy.
I'll help you out: I have said, in this very thread, that OS is a good addition.
I have also said that it is incorrect that OS is better than Halo 3, which doesn't contrast the sentence above.

Understand that clonecam? Stop being a mindless trolling fanboy that must defend his hero without reading what is actually being said. Okay. Thanks.

Lod3x, I think you're doing this whole trolling thing all wrong. Instead of prancing around bringing down OS, you should embrace it and start using it. We'd all hate the fact that an ungrateful piece of poop like yourself is using the features we all worked so hard on.

Source: The art of trolling by CV

@ lod3x trolling aside, i have noticed and i'm sure Dennis has too by now, that a good portion of the arguments on halomaps involve you. Nothing, and i mean nothing on the internet is ever worth arguing over, it just lands you between a rock and a hard place. so why not calm down and not have to try to prove that you're right to everyone, just add you two cents withing a single post and leave, if anyone reply's argumentatively, just ignore it. if this continues Dennis will surely shut down this thread

CV, what is your problem?
I have, once again, stated that OS is a good addition. Do you completely ignore what I say because another thing I say is in disagreement with your PR department?

You yourself as a programmer surely cannot say your shader system is technically superior to that of Halo 3. That doesn't mean it's not a decent shader system...really, do you even read what I actually say? Please respond to the actual content of my post instead of spewing out nonsense, and putting more words in my mouth that I don't say.

If I would still be actively working on a Halo project, chances are I would in fact use OS for certain features such as its increased particle count.

You're really just bashing me because I dare say something that is in disagreement with Masterz. You're no better than his other fanboys.

lol, I haven't read a single thing in this thread because I don't care. I just knew your posts were in all likelihood saying something negative about os.

And you couldn't be more incorrect about that.
But this has placed a good perspective on how people in this community think before posting, I see that often rational arguments get completely ignored. Shame to be honest.

If you're a rational human being, I'm Michael Clarke Duncan.

Okay, people, people. Just understand this.

Lodex is always right in the end somehow. Everything that's wrong is 'sarcasm'.

So drop it.

Although I do actually agree with his point about Masterz by the way. Masterz hypes OS a bit too much and with misinformation.

But the point about OS needing to be banned was dumb. Lodex has told me that was a form of sarcasm due to others' stupid arguments though.(Which I agree with again. Seriously, when somebody says something stupid, you're not supposed to start being even more stupid. That just makes things worse!)

For Lodex's information, I am not a masterz "fanboy". i think he does great work, and he's a cool person, but i do not worship him as you say, and he is far from being my hero. i simply agree that OS is an incredible work of art.

btw, how old are you Lodex? you act like you're 12. all you ever do is criticize people and start arguments.

I love horses, they are so beautiful ! <3

God damn there is alot of stupid people here. Why don't you all take a chill pill, come back into reality and realize your on an internet forum where everything you say is completely pointless and drama like this is unnecessary because instead of fighting you could be thinking and using your brain for once to come up with creative ways to make maps and forge new ideas; but instead as usual we get the Halomaps drama, usually involving CMT and some other group within the community. Why not, for once, actually have an intellectual conversation without someone raging at the other how they think their map/product/program is bad and instead discuss the issues and attempt to solve them, and not act so ignorant along the way.

i second this opinion, so much time is wasted arguing when people could be spending such time figuring out new and creative ways it improve the ce experience.

just ignore the issues people, I'm telling you. There will be nothing for people to complain about if we just stay on the subject of OS shaders and ignore the trolls/enraged posters.

Aren't we going to run out of ideas for this old pal?

Eventually,we would have no 100% new ideas,just reimagined/improved existing ideas.

Taking it easy might be a good thing in this case.

I was very clear and I hate having to repeat myself. Stay on topic or don't post. Post off topic and your account is disabled. Try to be cute with an off/on topic post and your account will be disabled. If you don't understand this then it would be best if you do not post. As a reminder the topic is: Post open-sauce shaders here!

can you guys post your shader_pp_global tag values? so I/everyone can base from/copy and or get an idea on how to set pp_tags properly. Currently, I base my shader_extension settings on The_Arbiter's OS H3MC tag(thank you). I have done the same with every biped i use. So far, the bloom on certain lightings are very irritating, I would like to learn from CMT's postprocess settings, however, HEK's unprotector wouldn't grant me access to those tags using the password(.Yelo version).

Also extremely nice job on those spartan shaders back there...

about killzone, for those covenant storage, make a good reflection propreties, like purple and blu, with the plasma rifle cubemap. Add a color change in your shader, select A. Now go to you .scenery, go to the color chanel, and add color. I think green-blu-ish looks awesome. Add another color, purple-red pretty good two. And now open sapien and look (AWESOME JOB IN DA GROUND)

Few months to late dude, he's gone.

But yeah, theres a lot of good stuff in this thread? Anyone care to share what their stuff looks like now?

Sorry, for, getting, off, topic, but, putting, a, comma, before, everything, doesn't, make, it, grammatically, correct.

Learn what moderation is, hun. You're as much of an offender as he is.

you're right, it does blow

it blows my whistle ;)

and my mind, but my whistle more
