Halo 3 PC confirmed

assault rifle sounds need to be changed

Is this the only level or will you do the others?
On a side note this looks fantastic can't wait to see more.

i wanna give a go at the other levels, no promises though.

This blew me away. Is the BSP a port, or is it just a very good recreation?

At the moment, it is currently the only level we are doing.



It is a BSP port.

Good to know, so everything is a W.I.P

It looked amazing Dratt. Keep up the good work.

I wish there was halo 3 physic only for OS.

Will it be open sourced like h2spp?

This looks amazing! It reminds me of the good ol Halo 3 days.

I second doing the other levels. Please, this has been the most uplifting sight all day for me (when it comes to Halo on PC, i mean).

Everything will be released, but at the moment, me and Jesse really don't have the skills required to make the tagset as awesome as it needs to be. We're mainly BPS guys and are focusing on getting that ingame first.

We are only focused on Sierra 117 at the moment.

Hmm, so is Takedown: Extermination pushed to the side until this is finished?

I can lend a hand. Though the only thing i'm good at is fine tweaking and balancing stats and object placement so gameplay flows smoothly.

No. I will switch between projects as I get bored of one. None of my projects will be delayed because of another project (currently)

How goes Takedown: Extermination dratt?

Wrong thread dude. This isn't like a chat room bro.

Was genuinely surprised by this. Will eagerly anticipate. :)

Most of the work is porting over the instanced geometry (foliage and rocks), of which there are over hundreds placed in the map even if we only copy the unique models, they exist in various sizes which require us to group clusters of them into one scenery model (bounding radio may affect AI behavior) or use a scale script to edit sizing of one model into many (some rotations won't work due to node locations not working for all positions and directions (IE, a rock halfway into a cliff face)


As I am sure it is the same with Matt, I switch between porting the latter section of the level and working on various other projects (mainly one unnamed, CMT, and The Pit)

We will very likely be using Matt's h3 tagset since he has OS shaders on the weapons, something I can't afford due to tagspace restrictions on The Pit.

If I remember correctly, Matt stated that we'd be using OS for sure, but whether we use .yelo or .map depends on what we need for the level.

I talked to matt and me and mikecyborg will be working on the halo 3 tagset. I will also be handling the opensauce shaders. As with both jesse and matt me and mike are doing this as a side project but in our cases it coincides with our projects and allows everyone to get things done faster.

I really hope this expands into something more than just one level. This would compensate for the lack of Halo 3 on PC. I wonder how a Scarab would be done in later levels.

Sorry. I was just stating a thought, didn't mean to sound like i was being pushy or something like that.

Edit: Though i just realized i was being a bit pushy yesterday. My bad about that.

What's up with the ground?

Some of the ground is missing the detail maps it needs. We'll get to that later.

How long has this project been worked on, and what originally got it started?

im assuming this year when bsp extraction became public, so around april maybe? unless dratt got it early

When you say "bsp extraction became public", you mean with Adjundent, right (just want to be sure, as i don't pay attention to Adjundent news)?

No one ever gives me anything early. Like a Halo 3 animation extractor... anyone... no one... okay.

This project was started in June

Alright, thank you for the reply.

Only Zteam has the tools for that, it is me and I only managed to extract a few covenant weapons from reach and H3.

So no one has access to zteams tools.

What are they the dictators of halo?

Not really. Just really good at doing certain things, and then keeping it to themselves for a while.

That's not why they need it, they need the Halo 3 animations for many things, how the Marines move, the marines climbing the waterfall, the brute holding the marine about to kill him, the cutscene where you see Johnson being beat by the Brute Chieftain, and that same cutscene where the Arbiter is talking to Master Chief.
