Those wings are bugging me quite a big. I couldn't resist

They need to be a shade lighter and tad more transparent IMO.

I think transparency will make it lighter anyways

a defualt green cubemap is the stock chief one

There is also the fact that the wings don't attribute to one consistent colour, it sorta starts of strong from the root then the saturation tapers into a lighter more subtle shade.

Hey do you still have your assault rifle?

No

How does your compass system work ?
Theyre part of the weapon's fp gb model ?

Are you goning to release it? i have some cool ideas for that AR (flamethrower, masterkey, EMP sistems, granade launcher, even a small variant of the spartan laser)

Nope, it is made using multitex overlays in the HUD



Not yet, because it is part of a mod that I'm going to release soon.

PROGRESS

Nex finally sent me his updated shaders. Now I'm just fixing some things here and there in order to be sure that everything works without flaws, plus improving some environment textures. Then, I'll focus on the most important things: encounters and balance.
I'm considering doing a beta, because I need some suggestions about AIs placement and other stuff. If someone is interested, let me know

Which IIRC won't ever actually work like a compass (horizontal mouse corresponding to compass motion) due to a broken section in the multitex area of the hud interface. If you've got it working perfectly, I'd love to implement this as well. Compasses are so useful in competitive play.



Hahaha finally, I know. Sorry again for how long that took. If you need anything environment-shader wise, just let me know and I'll be happy to help when I have some time. Just hit midterm week, so things should slow down here for a week or two with respect to school constraints.

I would absolutely love to Beta test this, count me in.

P.S. the human weapons shaders I sent should be easy enough to duplicate on other weapons just by following the "template" laid out in those. It's pretty cookie-cutter for the majority of the change, only some fine tuning once the groundwork is there. Make sure you replace that old cube that's in them now with the faked specular one.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that the compass doesn't move according to the yaw data (Jesse told me that even if you set the yaw parameters up correctly in Guerrilla the compass won't work, no matter what you do) but works fine with the pitch, so it rotates with the vertical movement of the mouse.

And about the shaders, I have already replicated all of them and implemented the fake specular cubemap, and works like a charme. I just couldn't implement the Elite multipurpose because the hexagons look quite weird on the curved parts of the armor even with fixed UVs. I've seen in the H4 textures that the hexagons are distorted in order to look right in the specular map, but I don't know if Max can replicate this effect (perhaps a sort of detail map baking?):

Damn. I dunno anything bout Max :/

I have no idea how getting them skewed would look like that, other than stretching the textures manually. I'm sure someone else can chime in

I'm game.

Yeah, me too.

Halo 5 gave me the inspiration for this. Quite useful in dark areas.

I also wanted to say that all levels except a50 are gold, which means we're near the end

not quite sure how useful that'll actually be quite frankly. Not much of Halo 1 is dark enough that you cant see stuff laying around on the ground

I do agree that a lot of Halos lighting doesn't lend well to the feature, but if you're in a situation where you need to analyze and see all of your options quickly (which good encounters should do) I can see this being pretty snazzy.

I dig that HUD.

I'd only like to point out that the weapon meter doesn't quite feel like it matches the rest of your HUD and I am curious as to what the meter looks like with both rockets loaded (it doesn't look like the meter would fit in the screen), and does the gap under the grenades have some purpose? A super-minor problem I see is that your weapon icon color doesn't seem to match the grenades, though I could be wrong since I am looking at this through my phone.


Also, are those my grenade icawns?

Very good job, Do keep it up!

So will this end up requiring OpenSauce then? You may have said this previously, I probably just missed it if you did.

Never said anything about OS ;)

I would really appreciate some elaboration then!

Hows progress going?

Any DMR's around? I haven't seen any in the images.

Some guy made this not sure who:




Could be cool if someone put it in game tho.

lenny face

This looks like the one from bigass though.

Damn u bourrin.

Y scope so tiny?

Reference I used was a concept iteration. I doubt it was created with mcuh scale in mind.

Download my model and compare it to the original dmr if you are still unsure.

This is soi's thread so let's keep on topic with all things soy and sauce. (Open)

Any updates? It's been a while.

Stahp the excitement is becoming to much!



soi flood level confirmed.

Are you going to release any of this craftsmanship?

He usually does but tbh the op needs updating.
