AH ok, thanks masters!

wow guys. im quite impressed by the amount of documentation you included in this release.

They're fricken' professionals

Does this mean someone can finally make a Bloodgulch mod with CMT tags? I'll be waiting for Matt and Slowbullet to show it on HMU. ^_^

YES!

I especially like the human evolved tags.
Really the only thing missing is an evolved marine!

saber sux

also my pc is acting weird, i can use it but if i use 3d crap or something too much it will crash and i'll be stuck on bios for a half hour.

I got the AR working with 32 rounds and it runs off the A50 animations from 2012.



Compare it to this CE3 2014 screen i took from the trailer.



I honestly really like the A50 animations better then TSCE... so yeah. It looks like the SPV3 AR has a green stripe on it. I could add that easily.

also, whats so smart about smart SMG? it sorta just looks like a normal SMG with bigger effects and slighty higher damage, atleast from what i can see.

this tagset contains evolved trees?

Good thing there isn't documentation or something. And I like how nobody uses anisotropic filtering :D

You can easily change the lights via the weapon tags color change values. SPV3 uses a yellow stripe and amber lights.

O.

IKR

we didn't forget about it; all scripts will come with the next (and final) segment of the source release containing the scenario-specific files. we're holding all the scripts until then just in case the changes that've been made for the last patch expose errors and/or require changes in unexpected places

You can't create custom content in Halo Online - it's that simple. If we get mod tools for Halo Online, then yes, we'd move to Halo Online.

This is one of the reasons as to why I hate this forum. Derailing and flaming a thread like this should be a bannable offense, and you idiots should be the first examples of said banning.

Also, thanks for the easter egg tips. I am surprised that the panel is not entirely a known thing among the developers.

Anyway we could get the scripts?

Coming very soon!!! We've not forgotten about the scripts, don't worry.

Update -- the raw BSP files are here! We split this off from the rest of the scenario-specific release because the source files alone were 450M compressed. Scripts, scenario tags, and patch v1.3 are probably coming this weekend.

Anyhow:

With these absolutely fantastic assets now available to the public, I'm actually quite curious. Are there any specific permissions, guidelines or restrictions you have with this content for use outside of Halo: Combat Evolved & Halo: Custom Edition?

For example, should someone want to port the models to Garry's Mod and/or Source Film-maker, or somebody else wish to extract the sound data for use in video content, would these and/or similar activities be of the approval of CMT team as a whole or members of the team whom may claim ownership of their individual contributions (Of course with proper credit to either/both the CMT team & the individual creator(s) behind specific assets, as that's simply a given).

I did consult the .txt files in the .BSP & Core Data packages on the matter, but contains no information related to my query.

Whoops quoted.


The needler and shreddder do not compile. They always crash tool.

God Those portals!



Edited by SS Flanker on Apr 16, 2015 at 10:48 AM

if you're throwing every single tag into a map at the same time, check your model data ("compressing vertex and index buffers...done XX.XXM") and make sure that you're not blowing past 48.00M. once you exceed that -- i'm not sure if the limit is different for .map vs .yelo? if so it might be even lower for the former -- tool will crash ^right before the output gets to "done"

if that's what's happening then it's nothing to do with any specific gun; you've just got too much stuff in a map. if that's not what's happening then you'll need to start introducing individual tags with the problem gun one at a time (copy a working weapon, add the model, compile; add the collision, compile; add the projectile, compile; if it's the projectile, copy a working projectile and add the model, compile; add the fx, compile; etc.) until you can narrow down exactly which tag is causing issues

unless you're just missing tags. i'm taking "crash" to mean EXCEPTION. (or unless you're trying to compile os tags with regular tool's build-cache-file, which definitely won't work)


dude you wouldn't believe how


After an extended period of most careful deliberation, my compatriots, and myself, have rapidly found ourselves at an unquestionably decisive point of consensus in regard to your inquiry. In all matters regarding the third-party proliferation and modification of the content distributed through releases CMT Evolved Tagset (2015), CMT B30 Evolved BSP Raw Data Release (2015), and the imminent distribution of tags used in construction of the The Silent Cartographer: Evolved scenario -- and all scripts produced for the same purpose -- any actions taken by the aforementioned third parties shall be considered wholly within acceptable boundaries of reasonable use, providing that the parties in question adhere to a solitary overriding rule:

"don't take credit for stuff you didn't do"

(ok i lied a bit; i didn't go ask the dozens of people who made some piece of content that this mod is using, for hopefully obvious reasons. credit the people who made what you're using and you're fine)

Il_Duce_Primo?

Or an awesome portal generating maxscript?


I'm hoping it's both.

nope

every single portal manually placed via painstaking work mostly by siliconmaster (slashrat on this forum), the rest by teh lag. it's impossible to properly express how hard -- not to mention for how long -- those two worked at eliminating every last popping triangle in a map full of bsps way too big for their own good. (there are two bad spots we know of but most people don't seem to have found them, so whew)

i can't properly express the joy i felt when silicon handed me a freshly portalled security pit and suddenly i could see all of my particles

It appears he is teaching you one. As you say: "I know he doesn't break any rules" and still you reply to him instead of ignoring him.

In case you missed it the lesson here is not to respond to trolling posts and to know the difference.

I am still amazed the map runs as well as it does without portal clipping issues (in most places). Portalling and unwrapping lightmap uvs were easily some of the most tedious and frustrating parts of this process. Designing and modeling the entire interior was also a lot of work, but at least that was creative, not a slow mental chore.

I guess I have a huge amount to learn regarding my portals.

Noted. Thanks for the information!
Edited by Bizargh on Apr 16, 2015 at 01:34 PM

That's what this source release is for! There isn't a single portal in these ten bsps that isn't there for a reason, and in many cases adding any more would break that bsp. Take a look, learn what you can. While for obvious reasons I want to avoid doing any more portal work ever, I wouldn't mind answering any questions people have about the work in these files.

Odd thing is, i have the missing tags.

Either you actually don't have the tag, or something odd is going on with your filesystem. It's present in the stock solo tagset.

I have the tag.

I know.

wow XD these halo online trolls are relentless. funny thing is that means he says to give up halo completely XD cause all halos are on the blam engine

is the whole "ma5c_individual_combat_weapon_system" assault rifle thing supposed to be like, a satirical joke about halo canon freaks?

if so, nice job, because it made me smile pretty big at how every file associated with it in it's folder has a super long drawn-out technical designation
