hi guys, if some of you know me then all you would know me as is that random guy who tries to help people sometimes and asks for help and or about models the rest of the time and today i tell you why. i have been collecting and making models for a kind of mmo for a modified halo ce driver that allows multiple players to connect on a rubic sectional map with interactive environments and rank systems for the best game play possible. in simple terms its a giant map that loads in certain ways with code to make a server based system that as many players as desired can enter a zone without suffering the lag consequences of other zones and competitive play can be made between all factions of the halo galaxy and its inner workings. i have spent the last 5 years playing every official game several times, watching all official shows, reading the books/comics... and a variety of texts on halo to get the best understanding of the universe, ask me anything. must of the finer details cant be discussed here due to idea theft, but the reason im posting this up is because its not a 1 man job. im posting an opportunity to join this team that i have formally named "Installation 13" (or i13 for short) this is an open signup and small trials will be held to determine if you can actually contribute. positions include but are not limited to;
animators
modelers (one of my areas)
story advisers (people who have researched the halo universe extensively)(also one of my areas)
textures\skins
story designers
creative designers (it will help if you can model or draw)
coders
and a legal adviser would help (you dont need to be certified, just have a knowledge on what can legally be done)
other

equipment can be provided by this site and by myself. if you believe you fall under these cattagories or multiple of them and are able to help, feel free to leave a reply in the comments below with the template provided.

A couple of pictures would be nice.

anything you want in particular?

Dude, show some damn pictures of anything!

woah, chill, i got some links to some models up, you dont need to be like that

im currently using sp bsps from ce on a life size halo for alpha testing plus some of the vanilla mp maps and a select few from this site, in addition to anything i, or any other modler on the team, makes

Wait. So this isn't using the Halo CE engine? Or is it?

a VERY excessively modified version. i choose to do this because it is the one im most familiar with but if anyone who joins has more experience with a later engine then we will likely move up to that (with the exception of halo 2, that engine sucked)

also please keep posts like this to the qna forum - http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=43254&start=lastpage

Fixed that for you Dave.

the actual creation of the game has only just begun, which means most of the changes are either idle or in theory, i do have maps made with hek to see how the models look in game but the whole reason for this thread is to get a team together and make this, i would do it myself but like i said its not a one man job and nobody has that large a skill set. my coding days are long over but i still know the works. i just lack the time in spelling to do it



thanks much appreciated :D

name - Dani
location - Europe, Romania.

role - Story designer

skill level - I've had a few decent ideeas about different stories and created some of my own throughout my passion as a story designer and story creator.

email - jin_kazama2008@yahoo.com

about you - I am a male, currently attending high school. I'll be honest with you, the first Halo I played is Halo 4 but the game was so intense and awesome it got me into the story and made me want to know more. I am not the most familliar person with the Halo story, but I'm only about two weeks away from reading all the books. I can try and provide with the best ideeas I can come up with and hopefully be of any use.
other - Not a native american so my english isn't the brightest. If I get in, I'll try to make the best ouf of what I got.

Name - Patrick "Internet names Max "MC" Carter, Anklashador Reiver

Location - Vermont, United States

Role - Story/Plot Creator

Skill Level - I've come up with many good story ideas before and weapon/vehicle concepts written down on paper. I've read some of the halo books here's a list...

• Halo The Fall Of Reach


• Halo The Flood

Email - klasher1000@gmail.com

About Myself - I am a male attending home school and taking a Cisco IT tech training course. I first played Halo when I was about 6 and have been increasingly getting more involved as time goes bye. I found out about Custom Edition about 2 years ago and have slowly been collecting maps, models, bsp's and tags making small test maps and porting certain things to Halo CE *I don't have the best skills and am working on my animation/modelling skills*. Pretty much.... If you need a Storyline I can come up with one that's pretty much it.

ok you guys, dogerdan if you can get your hands on the rest of the games and a few of the books for some more halo experience you'd be fine for the team, (im thinking about 3 story designers should be fine) and klasher you have some experience with maps so that's good, also same problem with dogerdan, try to get your hands on more games and books and you both should be fine. to conclude im going to put you both on the waiting list cause it looks like you both would be dedicated and that's good so get back to me with those ifs and hows and we can talk enrollment.



yes, that is why i put coder in the list of available jobs.
Edited by TheDave7365 on Jun 18, 2013 at 06:01 PM

So we have to tell our real names?
Is the email for communicating? If so, why not xfire?
Also Xtralaos and DoberDan, you guys are related right? You guys are both named Dani?

no you can use an online name if you want, and main communication will probably be via uncapped servers(the email is for sending files to one another), and i doubt their related just because they have the same name
Edited by TheDave7365 on Jun 18, 2013 at 11:17 PM

im ikke sikker på hvorfor, men det vil ikke oversette det du sa. engelsk behage.

@P3 We are like brothers
Edited by Xtralaos on Jun 19, 2013 at 03:41 PM

Decided against joining.
Edited by P3 on Jun 19, 2013 at 02:17 PM

I am going to get all the games the following week hopefully and then I'll read the books ! I'll come back and update you on that if you're still going to be interested. Much respect !

its your choice, though you would have been a nice addition.



do as much as you can, ill put you and klasher on the waiting list

Well maybe i should have been more specific when i said i decided against joining. Maybe keep me on hold? /:l
Once again, i'm getting my internet canceled because it is utter crap... Hughesnet I haven't even had it for more then 5, maybe even 4 months.... So that is my reason. Put me on the waiting list?

ok, what do you want to be put down as?

If you would let me try to be one of these. These are the ones that i think i could possibly do. If i can't then you'll need someone else.
Animating - via 3ds max
Modeler -weapon / bsp design

This is some of the things i know for sure i am pretty good at, and can do.
Creative designing
Story designing

ill put you down for all of those. weapon design may not be a big area though but if you can design a tomahawk for the brutes that would be great.

Brute tomahawk? Got it. Would it be ok to post publicly?
Also you didn't have concept artist listed but you assigned it to someone. I would like to be concept artist too.
Edited by P3 on Jun 19, 2013 at 08:18 PM

yep im thinking about 6 or 7 artists maximum for the team.

also remember in the design that the brutes aren't named brutes for no reason, they are a savage and violent race, so may i suggest jagged spikes for the tomahawk.
Edited by TheDave7365 on Jun 19, 2013 at 08:27 PM

Don't worry, i gots dis. Also brutes don't really use jagged spikes unless it's for projectiles, so I'm thinking blades instead. I might have it by today, tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon. Just watch. It's ok to show the concept publicly right?
Also I think it would be a good idea to make another thread if we are going to be showing or releasing things. This thread and the other thread you made i don't think are really for showing or releasing because of what the title says.

Also you spelled these words wrong: (How you spelled them)
modler, annimator
Edited by P3 on Jun 19, 2013 at 09:20 PM

good idea ill start a new information thread and then put a link up the top and like i said before, i have horrid spelling
Edited by TheDave7365 on Jun 19, 2013 at 10:56 PM

Actually you spelled them right until you got to me.

dont use the QnA page anymore guys go to the realeases thread here - http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=43263
ask all questions and leave feed back there



google chrome has auto correct

Removed.
Edited by Super Flanker on Apr 10, 2016 at 02:11 PM

Also, why a tomahawk?

yes i am a year 11 student, i understand, plus outside commitments. this is the reason more than 1 of every job is available to compensate for people who have things to do. come hsc time im sure a month break is acceptable. so any breaks required are by all means allowed.



well every main race has a one hand weapon and a 2 hand weapon. elites, sword and spear. human machete and katana. brutes have the hammer and the only remaining weapons where axe and mace. and since the hammer is a impact weapon and so is the mace a choose the axe to shake it up and tomahawk sounds freaking awesome so...
Edited by TheDave7365 on Jun 20, 2013 at 08:22 AM

Ok got it.
