And i can completely guarantee you that every one of those valhalla variants will be absolutely incomplete. I've seen them too, they all have problems, they're all pretty much crap. That's the entire point in me making this variant. A version that has completed everything within it. Not 12 concepts crammed in a map with halfassed tags and an ugly BSP with terrible shaders. I'm making this so that i can say that there is a good version of valhalla out there, one that looks like it's had a lot of work put into making sure that everything is good, well done, and aesthetics are as close to halo 3 as this engine can get. And i don't mean i'm trying to make halo 3 in CE, because i know the limitations of the engine. My concern is making this map look good.

As for OS. I have tried it, the version before last just made halo exception, thefireyscythe tried to help me by sending me d3d9.dll's or whatever and each one disabled another component, and when we got to the end and i still had the problem, i gave up. Now there's a version that runs, and all of the visual upgrades are disabled. So what's the point? Anyway, i know just how demanding OS is, i know because I've tried. It's just not going to work, and not because of ram, because my video card isn't compatible. I'm planning on getting a new laptop this year or next, but this map will be non-OS. That's what i want for it, because i'm not going to force people to decide weather to get OS just to play the map, or to not play the map because they don't want OS, and screw over the people that can't use it.

@Jesse: I'm using that model because it's the model i had. I had to reduce poly count because it was stupid high. If you have a better one then i'd be happy to check it out.

I'm fairly certain that the first pic is ASP's first model ever in-game. I can tell by the scope, TP model, and general low-poly badness (due to being a TP model)

The second pic looks like the revised TP model, and Broke also modeled in the triangles on the side there.

What changes did you make, exactly?


I haven't attempted modeling skills on a weapon model before, but with the BSP skills I have now, I'm certain I could make a better detailed version of the BR by editing the H3 fp model. I could model the insets, and uhm... yeah.

Those triangles on the sides were about 60 polies each, because of the unnoticeable rounded edges. I reduced that and poly count over the entire model, made the bolt grip more rounded(after that picture) and have been editing shaders. I'm going to go back after i finish shaders and finish with the model itself.

If you'd like to make the model based off of the BR i'd be happy to see it. My only concern is that i'm trying to reduce poly count where it's not needed, and adding more detail to a detailed FP model is going to raise it. But if you want to, go for it. I'll see how things look and maybe it'll make it to the final build. Thanks, Jesse.

how about a flaming sticky napalm nade? so if u stuck a hog for example, it would set a considerable amount of the hog on fire and continue to burn the occupants until they got out of the hog. if u stuck a player with it, maybe the player could extinguish it by crouching in the creek? if u threw it on the ground it could set an area of ground on fire that would burn any enemies trying to pursue u.
just an idea

But i'd like to save space wherever i can, as well. Like i said, we'll work on it and see what happens in the final product.

Which two of the four grenades do you guys think for the map? i am considering replacing plasma with spike, but i'm afraid without that the map will feel too unbalanced toward human. I know that spike grenades are a brute weapon, but they don't have that blue explosion that gives the feeling of an alien weapon. What do you guys think?

Quote: I got an awesome idea.

Plasma nades that stick to people and shoot out spikes when they detonate.

And frag grenades that set them on fire.

I made assassinations, awhile back. But assassinations weren't a part of halo 3, so i don't think it would make much sense for them to be in a halo 3 map remake.



FTFY.

TLDR: Is this going to do it right and use OS?

Of course you can, it's not ilegal and nobody is going to your house to stop you.

Can i make a Halo 4 Version of valhalla or "Ragnarok" ?

Quote: --- Original message by: grunt_eater


Of course. It's not my map to decide who gets to use it or not. i'm just trying to fix the problems that the released map had. But this thread was designed for the halo 3 variant. So all i'll ask is that if you do make a halo 4 version that you please make a separate thread to post updates for it. Thanks.
