Yes and no.

Yes you technically could animate it within the fire-1 animation, but there would be two problems. First, since it would be part of the fp model, it would not land on the ground and bounce/roll around like the sprites do. Second, when firing full auto the fire animation is not played fully. Generally only the first couple of frames get played before the next round fires and it starts over.

There isn't really a way to fix that problem because the shells are particles. So the options are "screen facing", "perpendicular to direction", and "parallel to direction" so no matter what they will still move as the player moves.

There is one way you could do it differently... but I don't know if its really a great idea.

Basically you could model a super simply, lowpoly, shell casing and then make it a projectile that just kinda bounces around like the shell casing particles do. Then within the firing effect your could "fire" the projectile from the shell ejection marker with a very low velocity.

This way it would be actual 3d shell casings that came out of the gun, but it also means your creating a LOT of projectile models whenever you fire your weapon.

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't made a tutorial in a while. Still very busy with real life at the moment. Haven't had free time for anything lately.

I added a short text tutorial to the OP of this thread. I have received several questions about problematic sound files that just wouldn't compile. After helping those people with their files I decided I should write down the steps so that everyone knows how to fix them. Its a very common problem, but fortunately the solution is very simple. (so simple that the solution didn't even warrant a video tutorial... thus the short text tutorial in the OP )

As always feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Well, I guess you could make something like that as a scenery object. But it would be very difficult to make it look right. And if you animated it than the collision wouldn't work quite right anymore, so I doubt it would work for surfing.

what is collision so it can not be use for surfing but it wud look cool see ingame

Scenery objects are not actually collidable so you have to add collision geometry to them. Collision geometry is an invisible model that is collidable. Generally you use a simplified version of the object for collision geometry.

Basically yes, it could look cool. But it would not be very useful for surfing.

so do you no how I or someone can make a wave just as scenary wud do just to see ingame wud bee something good and new

Remind me again what you are trying to do with it. (sorry... I don't remember exactly what the problem was)

Edited by Super Flanker on Jul 29, 2016 at 05:51 AM

Right, I'll see what I can do about making a quick tutorial for your problem.



I am hoping to knock out some of the tutorial requests over Christmas break.

If you get the opportunity great, if not no worries.

can I pm you something new that 1 wud like to put in my update map but that I don't no how to do ?

That's when opensauce comes into play.

I would like to make a couple of tutorials soon but things have been extremely busy for me.

Cheddars is right, you will need OS to use normal maps in Halo. Within the OS shader_model tag there are slots for one base normal map (this will match your unwrap) and 2 detail normal maps (these work like basically like detail maps on a BSP, they are simply tiled over certain parts of the weapon based on alpha channel).

Is it possible to extract sky/ring/ark bitmaps from H3/reach/4 and use them in CE? and if so, how?

I believe it is possible, but I honestly don't know how to do it. I never really had an interest in porting content from later Halo games, so I never learned how it worked.

I'm afraid not. Before OS Halo did not support Normal maps at all.

I need a tutorial how to rig a dinosaur.

I just got it to work but I don't no how to put some more than one sound in halo ce say 3 in one file

I use Audacity

o and how do you make sprites?
and thanks for your time

Edited by DOOM899 on Jan 31, 2014 at 04:54 AM

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. Could you be a little more specific? What are you trying to do?

Are you trying to compile multiple sounds into permutations of a single .sound tag?


Also, do you need to know how to set up the bitmap for creating sprites or how to set up the tags or both?
