I would have uploaded it on HaloMaps (I did it two days ago) but it is still not there, and Dennis doesn't seem to answer to PM, so here it goes on MediaFire.

Screenshots (now textures are a bit different, but I didn't want to upload new versions of them; now the inside of the hull is of the same dark green of the cab, and the illumination bitmap is much more refined):








What I included:
The files for a full-working space banshee, both a SP version with a destroyed effect and a MP version, with the files I worked on for texturing so that you can modify them the way you want. I included as well a tutorial for noobs so that they can learn how to port good content.

What it has:
Custom collision and physics, destruction effects, Reach-like contrail and, obviously, the model ported from Halo Reach.

Now go, download and rock!

I would advise releasing the tutorial separately.

Why? It is a 15kb txt file, it hurts no one nor it weights a lot.

I guess I should have been more specific, it would help if it was not included in a random tag release. It's not going to be easily findable, let's say I Google "How to port halo (game number here) vehicles to halo ce," it's not going to bring up a Halomaps thread titled "Space banshee ported from Halo Reach [RELEASE]." Ya get what I'm sayin'?

this is awesome good job i like it works great too.

You are right, I am afraid. The readme.txt file I included (which was to be shown on hce.halomaps.org as a description for the tag) should have done the trick, but not on MediaFire. I guess I will have to fix this indeed. Apart that, do the tags work well?

this thing+motion blur=next gen gameplay

motion blur doesnt make gameplay doh

Actually I don't know how to edit map, can you release the blood gulch with this banshee?

this shee is cool!

Great work!

nice, i like

So this is the final one, the contrail looks cool its very fine.

The final one has yet to come. Another release is near.

Omg 10/10 would rip - IGN

There won't be need to; as I did with the previous release, I will include the files I worked on (I'm not going to release a map with them because HEK+ and the gbxmodelimporter tend to be a little buggy), along with this new little villain I've just finished animating.

Are you going to make LODs for it ?

Is this a halo 4 banshee?

"It" is the banshee or the seraph?
Either way, LOD are not planned yet because several reasons
1st) These tags take a lot of space in the map (about 700 kb each one with just a single LOD; and 6 mb of hi-res textures)
2) as for now I am thinking about animating. It is the first time I animate and it may take a while to do it properly (even though they don't look bad at all). But the twin tails of a seraph flapping in the wind with a 15 years old engine is probably the sexiest thing EVER, you better believe me.
3) I don't have resources to waste on matters of so little importance, as for now that's a lie, I am just a noob and I don't know how to set up properly LOD and permutations
Release with properly-set LODs, however, are not excluded (which means that, in spite of all the reasons above, the idea of LODing it really tickles me)





I am not going to work on H4 stuff because they are just plain ugly, with the sole exception of the Chief. I think that the H4 Mjolnir is probably the most absurdely awesome armor ever designed. And because I don't know where I can download the maps, but whatever.
EDIT Oh, and the ghost and the shade turret look pretty good, too.

I'm not going to port content from halo 4 anyway lol now my goal is to make space battles come true. We have the space banshee (now wings and rudders animate properly), 2 variants of the seraph (space and in-atmosphere), the longsword from BigAss and, after that, I'm going to port the Saber (which should be the hell of a lot easier, since it has no contrails nor animations).

And the broadsword? Can you port the broadsword?

I didn't even know of its existence lol
I may work on it, though, because it doesn't seem to be very hard to port (except the likely enormous poly count).
Oh, almost forgot, I also wanted to port the space phantom (the easiest of them all; just give it no shielding and a ridicolously low damage to the driver). The biggest problem now is the energy shielding; I found a way to have very beautiful shieldings with a two-layered shader transparent chicago: one runs the stock characters\elite\plasma shield noise bitmap, the other runs a negative version of it; except for the bitmaps, the settings of the two layers are otherwise the same. It looks very beautiful (I mean... really, it is really sexy) but it also takes some crazy amount of memory to render. Therefore I am trying to build a 3d bitmap that achieve a similar result without such a usage of memory. As for now, I had no success, but I am not giving up. We need a map with good space battles.

And if you are look for a pelican (I take this opportunity) you must see the h4 pelican and if you like it port it ,but for many people is worse . Do what you want

The allmighty (and much more experienced than I could ever be) shadowslayer have already ported a pelican from h3 which looks incredibly sexy to say the least. It is already animated and fully working; I may put my hands on it just to give it some widgets and stuff, but we already have a good-looking pelican available. I am not a big fan of the "zomg we must port contents from the last halo available" attitude; Halo 4 and Reach have both good assets (actually, I really love the overall design of Reach; it features the best covenant design out of all the Halo games) but for me there is really no reason to choose a Halo 4 pelican over an already-done and good looking halo 3 pelican.

ok man, good decision I have absolutely nothing against it

Make a good map

Blamdepot is just weird now. Since Gamecheat was involved with it I'm not surprised. But CE3 is still awsum so who needs blamdepot anyway?
