What are the limitations of the Halo: CE engine? Oct 31, 2013 04:36 PM

Having not heard anything about Open Sauce before you posted it, I did a bit of reading. So, Open Sauce is sort of an add-on extension to Halo CE? I'm not entirely able to find a good description of how it works on their site or Halopedia.

What are the limitations of the Halo: CE engine? Oct 31, 2013 03:28 PM
(Total replies: 7)
After a few years' absence and a proper education under my belt, I'm returning to the Halo: CE engine to try my hand at making a map in it again. My main experience comes from UDK and, to a lesser extent, Unity; I want to challenge myself with the unique, archaic limitations of the Halo CE engine and see if I can produce something portfolio-worthy. I've already read over the HEK document listing the expected tri count and all that; but I was wondering about a few other things not listed, unless I missed them: What is the max supported texture size, versus recommended texture size? (We'll use a spartan-sized prop as a frame of reference.) What channels does CE support? I know it has bump maps (but no Normal maps); but what about specular? ------------- My Online Portfolio Edited by Mr Gruntsworthy on Oct 31, 2013 at 03:30 PM

really? no one else has had the exception problem; unless you're trying to play race, in which case it's because i never support race.

Okay, so i've got my island map. I've got my wicked hurricane .sky tag. I even downloaded kornman00's weather effects package... but how do I add weather to my map? I want to make it all hurricane-y... what with the rain, wind, and (maybe) fog. help is greatly appreciated; search didn't turn up anything except kornman's package

A little update (also edited into original post): download links have been added for Halomaps. As well, the beta for my third map, 'Sandbagged,' is chugging along. If anybody has any custom vehicles or weapons I can use, let me know. By the way; it's been a while since i've done it; but how to you get custom vehicles to spawn in games again? I remember it being done by script.

Weapons and Vehicles--much welcomed Mar 27, 2008 06:11 PM
(Total replies: 3)
Seeing as (for some reason) the weapon and vehicle tags were cut short when the site updated, I haven't been able to find many (working) weapons and vehicles for maps. So, does anyone here have any non-default (as in, not included with) Halo vehicles and/or weapons they'd like to share with me? I've browsed through almost the entire weapon tag selection and all three pages of the vehicles. Alot of them require files that I don't have (for instance, the wraith tags requiring the covenant drop ship particle system). As well. I seem to forget; but what is the script for getting custom vehicles to spawn in the game again?

Advantages/disadvantages of scenery over map geometry Mar 24, 2008 09:46 PM
(Total replies: 4)
I guess i could do most of the simple buildings (the ones that aren't accessible and are relatively simple in geometry) by extruding faces to look like simple rectangular shacks and just texture them from there. Well, this is what betas are for :p

Advantages/disadvantages of scenery over map geometry Mar 24, 2008 08:27 PM
(Total replies: 4)
I'm making a map that will have many buildings and shacks. Now, it'll be easier for me to add the few types of buildings as scenery items rather than geometry (because I need multiple instances of them). Apparently however this causes lag, or something? They are stationary buildings, and i'm estimating a total of 30 buildings of 4 different types. So, do the pros outweigh the cons as to making these scenery items rather than part of the map geometry? Pros/Cons much appreciated.

Amaranth...........the best map that no one has tried. Mar 24, 2008 08:16 PM

well the maps are only in their beta stage, but so far no one seems to have any issues with them other than uv's and weapon placement.

Hey, picard, I dont mean to look like a potential thread hijacker, or to advert my maps incessantly; but (and only if you're interested) do you think you could chuck on a map or two of my own creation? I could use the publicity, and I feel that these maps are the best I've made to date. They've yet to appear on halomaps (as I've only recently uploaded them) but i've got temporary links for rapidshare downloads (which will update as the maps appear on halomaps). here is the link to the maps: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=16227 I feel that this will help me get some more crit for my maps, and help solidify what I need to change for their final versions. I have my own server running but nobody plays on it. :/ P.S. I'm going to first check that I have all the maps for your server, then I'm going to try it out.

bsp errors? I had no geometrical problems while making the map. What are you referring to on that front?

I've begun work on the third map. This one is definitely BTB sized.

actually, the name was inspired by all the 'tacular' suffixes in the Halo games... killtacular, blasttacular, maptacular, sucktacular, etc
