Halo CE General Discussion » Best bloodgulch mod Sep 5, 2010 02:32 PM (Total replies: 33)

The only Bloodgulch mod, that I like, is my own.

I really just made it because I wanted to push the standard Halo weapons and vehicles to the limits (see how powerful I could make them without crashing the game).

I don't think I'll ever publicly release it though...but I plan to use the weapon and vehicle tags from it as 'Easter Eggs' for my future maps.

Halo CE General Discussion » recharger? Jul 23, 2010 03:18 PM (Total replies: 11)

You could make the plasma plasma pistol able to pick up ammo...and have an ammo respawn in front of it...

another thing it could do is recharge shields...not sure if it would work in mp though...

Updated the picture :D

none of the buttons do anything yet though lol still trying to adjust back into c+

To be honest I kinda liked the object oriented setup of vb...but c++ is definitely a better language for building a script editor for reasons I wont go into...

I might be able to help with some things,I use VB and C##.
Add my xfire: vipspartn.


did you mean "C++" or "C#"? I'm just curious...it doesn't really matter...the same methods should apply to almost all programming languages.


EDIT
I spot competition

:(

...however (looking at the video) it doesn't seem to have "script templates" (if it does then they are pre-made scripts which will require hsc knowledge to make useful) like EHS had...and mine will >:)

Halo CE General Discussion » Can't get actorvariants to change color! Help. Jul 22, 2010 11:38 AM (Total replies: 8)

Download this: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2028
Open the bitmap of the skin of the actor variant
save it as a file type that you can open in a picture editor (mspaint, pdn, gimp, etc...)
open it and edit it to be what ever color you want (if its black and white you can apply Sepia to give it some color then adjust the hue to get the color you want.)
save it as a .tif (NAME IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL)
recompile it with tool
now you can either swap it out for the original bitmap OR edit the shader to use your new version (or make a new shader - you will have to make/edit several files if you make a new one but then you can have both colors).

Autodesk Students is a program for students in College providing free software for courses involving digital design, architecture, game designer/engineering and CGI Movie production and effects.

Not for a 14yr old playing halo to get a free $400 software to make crappy box map on a 10 yr old game.

Making Halo maps helps build the skills you need for "digital design, architecture, game designer/engineering and CGI Movie production and effects." What better way to learn about a program than to use it to make maps for a game? And who says that's all we are gonna use it for? Chances are that if someone is REALLY into making halo maps, that they will likely go into one of those fields.

The biped is pretty nice, too, although I think that instead of the forearm scythes, you should go with retractable blades mounted in the wrist plate. Then you could just use the animations for the Plasma Pistol melee, but add the blades springing out. >:D


I will download the tags for the biped if you do this ;D

if we post scripts do you also want evil scripts??

like go into a trigger volume and it makes them quit xD

or go into a trigger volume and it will unit suspend the player.


Post anything you can think of, however I'm not gonna guarantee that all "evil" scripts will be included, a few would be nice though.

Edit: As of right now I would prefer useful scripts.

Quote: --- Original message by: pakar45
make it so that when a player walks into a trigger volume, it exceptions. Wai no make it so that it deletes their system32 xD


I'm not exactly sure how to do you're first idea, how ever I'm sure there is a way. Your second idea, however, is not possible....well...not through halo scripting anyway.

Meh, better than me. I rely on scripting programs >.>


It's k. I do too. (For most things. >_<)


For really advanced scripts I used to go to EHSv2... however some of the scripts in that program have their flaws...

How long will it take you to make this? I really need a good scripting program, I can only script basic things, like object_create and firefight scripts (bad firefight scripts)


Not sure. Hopefully not too long. 2 Programmers now though.

GUI looks proper ugly, but that isn't really your aim at the moment. HaloGuru made a good app like this, probably better. He didnt finish it though I don't think.


he never finished ehsv3


If he would have then I'd be using that instead of making my own. :b

Halo CE General Discussion » WIP: Halo Scripting Utility Jul 21, 2010 10:25 PM (Total replies: 20)

Yeah I know the GUI sucks, I just want to get the programming done. Then I'll worry about the GUI. And yeah HaloGuru's was better, but he didn't finish it. EHSv2 was a good tool, however it could've been a lot better (had more scripts).

Halo CE General Discussion » WIP: Halo Scripting Utility Jul 21, 2010 10:06 PM (Total replies: 20)

Not yet no. When I verify that a script has been tested in game and works, I will change the information in the main post.

Here's an example:

+Before test+
Name: No Damage
Description: Prevents the players from taking damage.
Made by: Ghilli
Status: Complete
Tested: No


+After Test (if it doesn't work then it will be repaired or removed)+
Name: No Damage
Description: Prevents the players from taking damage.
Made by: Ghilli
Status: Complete
Tested: Yes


Most of them should work. They do 'in theory'.

Halo CE General Discussion » [Weapon] H3T Ma5k Release. Jul 21, 2010 05:02 PM (Total replies: 145)

I honestly can't believe I clicked on this topic, but since I'm here I may as well put in a few words.

1. Ripping is fine if you are doing it for yourself (because no one knows about it). Its when you publicly release it (in a map/mod or a pointless forum post) that it becomes stealing.

2. If you are going to take the easy way out and rip from someone else's map (instead of learning how to do 3d modeling) then ATLEAST ask for permission. Did you even try to contact Kenny?

3. If you really think that he wouldn't care, then why not ask him?

4. And what was that about you being against ripping and now you're trying to defend it? You're such a hypocrite.

5. If the community NEEDED more content they would ask OR (even better) MAKE IT THEMSELVES!

6. If you can't figure out something (in this case 3d modeling) then ASK! It's what these forums(and tutorials) are here for!

Halo CE General Discussion » WIP: Halo Scripting Utility Jul 21, 2010 03:21 PM (Total replies: 20)

I am currently working on a new halo scripting utility. I would just stick to EHS, but development on that Utility seems to have ceased. The application is currently called "Halo Script Builder" - I don't have much for imagination...so if someone else can give it a better name that would be great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Contents:
1: Details
2: Things I need
3: Scripts I have so far
4: Conclusion

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Details:
Application name: Halo Script Builder
It has (will have) many built-in templates, and also has the hs_doc.txt built in.
(If you want more details just ask)

Pics:
v0.1.0.0
http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac64/xThex_xAssassinx/halo_script_builder.jpg
NOTE: Switched to C#, so the above picture is no longer accurate, however the basic layout of the GUI still exists.

If you have ideas for features that you would like to see in this application post them here or message them to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Things I need:
- Scripts:
Vehicle Teleport
Extra Vehicles (would like to use the one from EHSv2)
Any other scripts you can think of that aren't featured below

- A short, typed tutorial on Halo scripting (will be included as "Help" - and credit will be given, of course. I just want something that goes over the basics of scripting.

- I also need a few people to test some of the scripts.

If you are interested in submitting material then read the bottom of this post (read part 3 first if you are submitting a script idea - to make sure I don't already have it)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. Scripts so far:
I am organizing the scripts by category. These categories are Player, AI, Vehicle, Server, Map, Device, and Misc.

Player - Scripts that affect the/a Player(s)
AI - Scripts that affect AI units **Might mix with Player or Map**
Vehicle - Scripts that affect vehicles **Might mix with Player**
Map - Scripts that affect your map in general
Server - Scripts that affect Multiplayer Servers that run your map **Might mix with Map - unlikely though**
Device - Scripts associated with devies (ex: doors) **Might mix with Map**
Misc - Scripts that don't fit into the other categories

4. Conclusion:
If you have any scripts that you would like me to add (or don't mind if I add) to this Utility, post it/them here or send it/them to me in a message. Credit will be given.

If you have any script ideas post them here or message them to me and I'll see what I can do (credit will still be given).

I would make all of the scripts myself, but I would rather put my effort towards making the actual application (that way I can get a Beta out more quickly)

If you have ideas for features that you would like to see in this application post them here or message them to me.

Credit will be given in the "About" window and in the "Tool Tip" text (with the description of the script template you made).

If you are submitting material read this:

When you submit a script use this template (please):

Name: <name of the script>
Description: <Description of the script>
Made by: <Name of Maker>
Idea by: <Name of whoever came up with the idea>
Status: <WIP/Complete>
Tested: <yes/no>
Note: <notes if any>


I welcome criticism. So please, share your thoughts on this. If you think its s stupid idea then your welcome to say so, however it would be much appreciated if you back up your opinion.

BTW: I'm thinking about giving people who submit (complex/impressive) scripts access to Beta versions.

Thank you,
- Ghilli
