dam thats pretty good.

Well you should add me on xfire or skype or something, that was good!

Skype is the same as my username, I can give you the audacity settings I used if you want.

made a quick vid showing off the sword anims. they are really cool.

Well i'm ok at this. I would love someone who is an expert at indoor work.

How could you not release such a high quality map!

Yes i shall release this test map with 0 smooth groups and took 5 minutes to do.

smooth groups are 4 n00bs

Found this and said "I can do that":

(This image uses some other elite shoulders, I wanted the whole commando set)

Well I did this:



Even has the little cute chest piece.


Heretic Hunt's new placeholder player model.

Really liking the holographic shoulder emblem.

Awesome work !

Make the general appearance more bulkier. Elites don't do slim fast.

I'm trying to attempt to make these elites more h2 like, I prefer wise looking elites, not completely fierce and alien like in reach and beyond.


Those hips look slim to me, they barely cover them selves up is how slim and proud of their bodies they are.

Though I do feel they could use a little more on the armor/color.
Thanks for the feed back, i'll look into it.

wise is like

the word i was searching for all these years to describe the ones that look cool

I think they actually wear a bodysuit, similar to what the Spartans wear under their MJOLNIR.

They do, it ends around their neck as can be seen in the picture with the heretic

Not sure why it's relevant though.

Because he said they barely cover themselves up, when they're technically covered from head to toe in armor and bodysuit.

I mean relevant to his topic in general. The elites still look wise and proud despite whether they are wearing a bodysuit or not.

Elites it seems are avid nudists.

Its a shame i'm not using much human tech at all in Heretic Hunt.


A drop pod walker seems pretty neat.
Seems like something the h1 shade turret could have been.

I think that was the original idea behind the Shade turret in Combat Evolved, that it would be mobile. As far as these designs go, though, the first one looks much more like a Covenant vehicle than a UNSC walker (all you'd have to do is replace the odd double-barreled turret with the shielded plasma cannon from Halo 2 and paint the thing purple). The third looks more human in origin, but doesn't seem very practical.

I would consider it if biped boarding was available, i'll think about it.
oh hey now I know why this looks familiar:

Well, there is still the Locust from Halo Wars:



Definitely not the same thing, but if you're looking for a walking vehicle...

There is a section of the Heretic Hunt campaign that I considered using a locust. It is just a concept for now. I can't guarantee it will be there.

I was thinking of modelling a locust out of banshee pieces. Pm me if you want it when its done spiral.

This would be nice to have soon.
Did I miss something?

Open carnage?

opencarnage.net

Oh didn't know about that place. Anywhere else?

Any progress on this? I miss your work

>no update on thread

nope

Everything below is WIP. All ingame screenshots are 1920x1080 so feel free to see it in another window. I did jpg this time. Not the best idea.

I ported a couple of things but who cares right? ports = bad right? haha memes right? "xD" :
The doors from the gasmine. I am aware that the lights on it don't all change color but I don't care too much. Animated by me too. I'll get a video later.




This box thing that was instance geometry. Made it into scenery. I gave it a shield system that created an emp everytime it went down. Cut that feature for several reasons. Maybe something else will do that.


I ported the hallways so I don't have to do really bad forerunner work. I have no idea how portals work for indoor maps. I did not know that portals would affect lightmaps. I know nothing about bsp-ing


Did a heretic banshee with the lights on it unlike everyone ever. Well Waffles had the lights. Hes dead.



Alright some biped stuff now:
So that spec-ops elite has some new minor things. I know that he does not look pretty up close. The normal maps got a little messy on my last compile.


I gave him the shoulders and chest piece that come with the halo 3 set for his helmet



Did you notice the poorly placed halo 3 elite color detail thing? I put on a couple of decals on the elite that came from halo 3




I'm planning to replace my spec-ops elites with those super spec-ops elites from that halo headhunters video
http://youtu.be/RUQ3k4KpL1c <- Wangtime posted this one.




Red energy sword may or may not happen.

Here is a halo 2 odst I modified a while ago. Not for heretic hunt, just did it. Not that great at all.

I have a heretic jackal ingame with shaders setup but I need to tweak it a bit first. I could show more stuff but I think I'll wait until I make a heretic hunt thread. That will be at some point in my life.

How do I make by level textures less jpeg/pixel-ie looking? I tried different compression types with photoshop but no luck. It could be Adjutant and its new halo 2 support it has. Its not that great with textures.

I'm starting to wonder why I'm using OS. It looks nice sure but all the features I want are on the next version. That is taking forever to become public and it is really delaying somethings I want to see done in my projects. I'll just keep going until I run into a wall. There is a lot of half finished scripts just sitting in my notepad++ files. It is hideous.

I'll release some stuff soon. Probably some old things I don't use, like that ODST.

Advanced Spec Ops Elites would be glorious. In case that doesn't happen, I suggest you to make the H3 decals on the current Spec Ops Elite white instead of gray, in order to better contrast the armor

If I remember correctly, the decals and symbols on the Halo 3 Elites were exclusive to those who had split from the Covenant and alligned themselves with the Arbiter. But, I can't find a source for that, so take that as you will.

Needle Pistol looks cool, I'm interested in seeing how it works and compares to the Needler and Plasma Pistol.

I could see you going the obvious route and giving it an overcharge that acts the same as the 7-needle-combo explosion but I feel like there's a more creative way to tag this weapon. Either way it looks cool.

Ok, I am not entirely sure about whether or not this have already been said, for I did read nothing but the first page, but here you go.

About the AI cover system, you can do it through vehicles.
Create a vehicle with no collision model, no physics nor animations, just a marker called, idk, marine. In the marine animation model, set the animations for this new, invisible vehicle. Scatter those vehicles throughout the map, where you want your characters to take cover, make them enterable by your marine and then make those vehicles have a chance of unloading of, idk, 2% per tick (idk whether or not this last chance could be made, you can alternatively make them unload every 3 seconds or whatever). There, you have AI taking cover. Good day!
