/shitpost of the month

[Spartan094]

What type of color is the multi on the h3 assault rifle? standard purple with the standard ar cube map? Diggn the ODST pistol too

[ODX]

Hey CAD, can you please make a video of the FP legs where you start out in first person, then debug_camera_save/load to 3rd person and run around a bit(with you on camera still), then go back into first person to run around with the FP legs some more?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

jesus christ you guys are difficult,

hold the fuck on...

[CtrlAltDestroy]

ok, fuck it. atm halo refuses to accept keyboard input, so i'll just explain the gist of how the fp-render-only works.

the fp legs go off the concept of the a10 cyrotube model (where you can view your body) where the superhigh lod is only visible before an extremely tight cutoff. the rest of the lods are blank geometries. (basically ive confirmed to you that it isnt actually part of the fp model, as well as potentially improved some of the cheap knockoffs that you people are undoubtedly making)

i'll get an actual vid when halo stops acting up if you still fucking insist so then

[ODX]

i'll get an actual vid when halo stops acting up if you still fucking insist so thenI didn't mean to anger you, I was still a little skeptical. It's fine, you don't need to make a video of it, I understand now. Never would have remembered A10 though...you are a true inspiration CAD ;)

since theres (probably) no special variant of the sniper in odst, i decided to make my own :d

finishing it up tomorrow (adding a suppressor, textures, etc)

[CtrlAltDestroy]

oh btw its just a simple laser+flashlight attachment

[Con]

It looks awkward to use, shouldn't it be mounted somewhere else?

would look cooler to have it mounted at the beginning of the barrel

It looks good, though it doesnt look right in that position.

[kid908]

:worship: God(address you as such), Texture too clean. Please use your godly powers and make it dirty. Flashlight looks like it's in an awkward spot, but I can't see it going anywhere else. Maybe between the handle bar?

[Roostervier]

Uhh it doesn't have a texture on it, lol.

[kid908]

Uhh it doesn't have a texture on it, lol.

Talking about the sniper itself.

[SnaFuBAR]

Fluting on the barrel and the scope is way too dark. Never use black to make it look indented or shadowed :/

[ICEE]

isnt it just halo 3's texture?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

yeah, lol

[SnaFuBAR]

lol, bungie.

Still, you could fix their fuck-up :p

btw that scope looks off-centered to the right. is it? :/

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Yeah, it was a pretty stupid decision. I'm going to redo the design, or atleast mount the module somewhere else.

[ICEE]

lol, bungie.

Still, you could fix their fuck-up :p

It has been since halo 1. I'm not entirely certain about halo 2 though

[ODX]

It has been since Halo 1. I'm not entirely certain about halo 2 thoughI think it was only hanging over more to one side in Halo 1. In 2 and 3 the scope is centered, 'cause you know, Bungie threw realism out the window after Halo 1 :rolleyes:

reloadable plasma pistol what.

http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5404/pprel.gif

ingame will consist of:
-smoke trails on the eject (like the carbine)
-"power off/power on" on the power core when its ejected/inserted

[Ki11a_FTW]

Ive had this idea for a while to , great job

[Timo]

That's damn cool man

[ThePlague]

:o

That's awesome.

[Heathen]

Cool shit.
Do PR now.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Do PR now.

yes.


this will be a challenge

[ICEE]

I think it would look a lot better if he pushed the lid down with his hand. Like, that motion you have him using now... I don't think that would actually work. As for the plasma rifle... you might have to do some significant edits to the model and unwrap, but i would have him open the top like CMT's needler, and put in a bigger blue plasma thingie. You could probably use the model you have for that plasma pistol, just scale it up.

[Hunter]

That looks awesome. :O

[BobtheGreatII]

Well... it busts the battery idea, but it's still cool. :neckbeard:

[Newbkilla]

What happens if your battery runs out, and you got a few spare around? You reload, I think that's the point of the ammo.

[Heathen]

Well... it busts the battery idea, but it's still cool. :neckbeard:
No it doesn't....it reinforces it if anything.
When your batteries die you dont throw the remote away, you put new ones in :realsmug:

yes.


this will be a challenge
You could have it launch two out of the sides and put them back in like the double clipped SMG someone here made.

[BobtheGreatII]

No it doesn't....it reinforces it if anything.

Was it ever stated that the Covenant weapons worked off of a replaceable battery? Maybe it's a one time charge. How the hell would you know?

[ICEE]

and how the hell would you?

[Ki11a_FTW]

If you read the Halo Manual, under plasma pistol it says something like "The UNSC currently don't understand how to recharge a plasma pistol battery".
Same with plasma rifle

[ThePlague]

If you read the Halo Manual, under plasma pistol it says something like "The UNSC currently don't understand how to recharge a plasma pistol battery".

[Heathen]

I know because thats retarded and incredibly inefficient.
Those guns aren't made of polystyrene.

and yeh, I read the book that came with the game :downs:

[Roostervier]

Yeah, enough discussion on how feasible it is and whether or not the covenant had replaceable batteries or not. It's creative and the animation looks great. I don't see what wrong with that.

[Hunter]

A quick concept for the PR. Obviously you could make it look 100 times better,

YFstudfn9TI

[PenGuin1362]

I kinda like that concept

[Cagerrin]

Could the ammo cover split in half along its length as it slides forward? Keeping the front parts closer together so that it kinda mimics the fins on the back of the rifle?

[Heathen]

Or my suggestion if the two batteries.

[Llama Juice]

Haha that plasma pistol is neat :P Can't wait to see the PR or maybe a FRG?

[Advancebo]

Haha that plasma pistol is neat :P Can't wait to see the PR or maybe a FRG?

An FRG already reloads.

[Roostervier]

the frg doesn't, the flak cannon does. making a reload for the frg wouldnt be that creative though

[Amit]

the frg doesn't, the flak cannon does. making a reload for the frg wouldnt be that creative though

The FRG is basically the same thing as the flak cannon, just it didn't explode in the air in Halo 1. I can't remember if it did in halo 2 either but it looked pretty much the same as the Halo 3 one.

[Roostervier]

uhh

you just repeated my post. what i was saying was that since theyre nearly identical making a reload for the frg wouldnt be all that creative because itd be the same as the flak cannons. <_<

[Pooky]

If you read the Halo Manual, under plasma pistol it says something like "The UNSC currently don't understand how to recharge a plasma pistol battery".
Same with plasma rifle

Anyone else think it was funny that, in the missions where you play as the Arbiter, apparently he doesn't understand how to reload plasma weapons either?

[Ki11a_FTW]

haha, just got done thinking the exact same thing

[klange]

Anyone else think it was funny that, in the missions where you play as the Arbiter, apparently he doesn't understand how to reload plasma weapons either?
The entire idea of the batteries being replaceable has "fallen out of canon" so to speak. While it was an element that made the weapons more alien in the first game, it would have drastically changed gameplay and confused some players if it was changed in the second. By the time Halo 3 came around (and, in canon, the humans are now allied with Elites, and should therefore have all of the same information and least know how to collect and replace the battery, even if they don't know how to recharge it), it had become a relic of an ancient game manual.

[Spartan094]

My question is for all this reload-able plasma weapons. How are you going to reload a Spartan Laser? I can't quite think where the battery is.

[Roostervier]

It'd be more than easy to come up with one for the spartan laser.

Really minor (and I think it was originally my suggestion when you asked me), but maybe replace the X with a - or something less obtrusive for the unselected grenade types.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I can see from here though, that the textures on those weapons need some touching up.

Very badass HUD. @.@

Excuse me but is any of this work going to be used in Zteam maps or [Penguin's] The Pit? It would be sad if this wasn't going in any maps. If this has already been answered, I'm sorry for asking.

[Hunter]

Looks nice, you aiming to keep the sight low poly?

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/Sight.jpg

You should make it like that ^, it is pretty low poly and has a nice amount of detail and all the detail is viewable to the player, so it looks nice.

Atm your sight has flat sides, it is kinda boring.

Also; the light at the front seems like it has a lot of sides and it is at the front and will not be seen very often, it may be a good idea to lower the amount of sides, although it may give it a bad siloet when you do see the flashlight.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Any details not on there already I'm going to texture on.

[PenGuin1362]

I think the angled sides as opposed to rounded looks better. Also the light should have that many sides due to the silhouette issue

[Advancebo]

Looks nice, and accurate.

all the recoil strengths there are based on the fact that a spartan is wielding it (despite the odst arms)

[AAA]

Nice.

Thinking about releasing ANY of this?? not to offend or anything, But I would like to admit, that it's kind of becoming lame and disappointing that I haven't seen any of these new creations in maps for the past year.

[Amit]

The second reload animation is better. It actually makes sense because the bolt is being pulled after the new clip is inserted.

[BobtheGreatII]

The second reload animation is better. It actually makes sense because the bolt is being pulled after the new clip is inserted.

You don't have to pull the bolt if there's already a round in it I thought...

I think he has two separate ones. One for fully empty and one for semi-empty.

[ODX]

Very nice style going on there, how the weapon really flows and reacts to every movement it has (rotates up when it goes down, points more to the right when it goes left, etc etc stuff like that). The mag flick looks pretty good although the mag seems to come off too quickly. Insert of the mag seems week though. I see you're trying to make it flow with the rest of the animation, but it would probably be better off if you copied Halo 3's and then reduced the stiffness that they have to make it fit better. Ophandle pull is good, in the way that you just slide your finger against it and the hand disappears off the screen. Return to origin is great as well, I like how you have the hand have movements instead of just staying static to the handle once it makes contact.

Very nice job for a while without animating.

[Amit]

You don't have to pull the bolt if there's already a round in it I thought...

I think he has two separate ones. One for fully empty and one for semi-empty.

Yes, that is quite right. I always forget that.

[W1zard]

i think it was called a tactical reload, when you have a bullet chambered and reload.

Everything's pretty much done except for the shield meter and coloring.

[Ki11a_FTW]

coloring just needs to be a little lighter, and the shield bar looks a bit to wide, but otherwise, awesome

[Invader Veex]

Shield bar is outrageously different. Otherwise, it's a near-perfect replica.

[Timo]

I like how you guys pointed out the two things he said he hadn't finished :o

Looking awesome man - is the metal around the AR's ammo meter supposed to be illuminated like that?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

yeah, i used a lens flare on the display, i figured it looked nicer in the dark

[Amit]

Good call.

[AAA]

Numbers at top right next to the weapon's picture isn't set to that cool angled view, it's looking like it's facing straight at you. Radar needs to be a teeeeeensy bit wider.

Isn't set to 25 meters. Pay attention to that for future preference.

[Invader Veex]

The numbers face two different ways in Halo 3. They can't be that way in Halo 1, there is only one allowed set of numbers.

You can change radar range in Halo 3 multiplayer.

[Sever]

Since the numbers can't both be angled outwards, it would look better if any and all near-vertical lines were made vertical (ammo ticks, grenade outlines, shield meter edges, maybe even the weapon icons).

[ICEE]

Are those hands actually ripped from ODST or did you make them?

[Heathen]

that looks fantastic!

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Are those hands actually ripped from ODST or did you make them?

theyre from odst

frankly, i dont give a shit that the textures look "low res". i could compile them using argb8, but that would be an awful waste of map cache space.

[ramis92]

Those textures, they look so low res D:
This. Also, any plans to change the numbers on the AR and BR [how many rounds are left on each of them]? They just don't look right for some reason...

EDIT : As far as the HUD goes, no problems.

[Timo]

If only UI widgets were able to be displayed high res like that D:

[SnaFuBAR]

The HUD looks amazingly well reproduced. Good work.

Maybe you should add lens flares for the yellow/green lights on the magnums?

It looks small, because its in shot tags, open it up and zoom in on it, it looks fine.

It is possible. It was done with Evolution.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Unfortunately, it isnt possible. There isnt a way to isolate a meter element to only render while zoomed. I've already tried several ways, but none really worked out.

One thing bothers me, why is your radar range 15M instead of h3's 25M?
The actual reading range of the radar can be easily adjusted aswell, I did that a long time ago, so that can't be the reason

I know that the HUD is based off Halo 3's, but that doesn't mean that something as trivial as the motion tracker range should be changed. Does Halo 1's motion tracker not actually have less range than the Halo 3 one?

I rendered multiple motion sensor bitmaps for different ranges, ~5m to 150m (which are all present in the bitmap tag), I just ended up using halo's original 15m. It can be changed easily though.

Nice job, a little bit of stretching on the elite fp hands though.

[Advancebo]

So pro.

The radar looks a bit too high though.

Also, ODST HUD please :woop:

'Bout time someone has done a good Halo 3 Elite HUD. Nice work.

Make it purple instead, the Halo 3 colors are so boring :\

[BobtheGreatII]

Wow, that was like, blatant disregard. Good job you.

So, is there anyway you can animate the HUD so when you zoom in, it does little animations like in Halo 3/ODST?

[ICEE]

I imagine that could be done with FP models, but even then it might be limited.

[Gwunty]

Unfortunately, it isnt possible. There isnt a way to isolate a meter element to only render while zoomed. I've already tried several ways, but none really worked out.

except that the fp model doesnt render when zoomed

[ICEE]

Ah, well... Theres the limit :)

[Heathen]

Not to mention even if you could, it would be ugly and not anti-aliased.

[Hunter]

That sucks testies... time to count your shots :/

1.
2.
3.
4.
Reload....

[FRain]

1. You should be counting your shots while firing

2. the standard ammo bar still shows (if im correct) when zoomed in.

[Heathen]

Not on h3, so if your going for authentic, it wont.

E: At least iirc.

[=sw=warlord]

Who said i was joking? i really do like the teal.
Did i miss something?

[teh lag]

Is this thread like a shit magnet or something? If you guys want to dick around then at least take it to community discussion or something. Maybe the threat of bannage would keep this thread in order?

Evidently not.

You missed a hi-fucking-larious page and a half spam spree of that phrase.

[=sw=warlord]

I guess it must have been yesterday as i couldnt acces the site yesterday due to finding the new keyboard i got didnt work with some letters mainly M, H and A...
Sigh.
Anyways Kamekazespec, any of this ODST stuff going to be made public or is it all for show at the moment?

[Ki11a_FTW]

Wait so, is that a mock up (PS) or is that the actual in-game shot? I actually like the colours, it fits to me, maybe because your staring up at the sky. I wonder if its still easy to see if your in a colour rich environment.

[jcap]

It is an in-game shot.

[W1zard]

So, is there anyway you can animate the HUD so when you zoom in, it does little animations like in Halo 3/ODST?
Not sure what animations you mean, but you could sort-of animate it by making a font tag, place it on the hud, and when its unzoomed make it use an empty char: when it's zoomed just let the script scroll through all chars each tick while it's zoomed in, sorta how gif anims work lol.

Have you played Halo 3/ODST? When you zoom in with the Carbine, 4 little marker things move. Hard to describe without you seeing them... but yeah.

firebombs (wip):
http://halotrialmods.org/zteam/personal_files/cad/videos/firebomb.wmv

i'm probably gonna change how the fire propagates, cause i'm not really satisfied with it atm.


also, i'm aware of all the trivial little details that i could improve upon. if you really must point them out, bear in mind i probably already know what they are...

[Advancebo]

That is awesome, best I have ever seen.
I love the particles.
Also, it looks like projectiles were ejected from the explosion, with flames attached to it?

The smoke is a bit fast though.
And, whats with the string when you get near where the projectile lands?

[ICEE]

That's what im wondering. Until I saw that I thought I had it pegged down as for how he was going about accomplishing this effect. I experimented with flame grenades for a time using projectiles which emerged from the detonation effect and traveled a short distance before detonating and causing flames, attempting to accomplish the "spreading" effect of real fire. Also, for whatever reason that you have a weapon spawning in the middle of the flame, couldn't you just change the label to avoid getting the HUD prompt to pick it up?

Cool firebomb!

I believe I understand how the firebomb you made works.

You made it so when it collides with anything, it instantly sets its particle state to "birth" and one big fire is created. Out of that big fire shoot out 3 smaller fires at an angle. However, it looks like these fires are either actually weapons with no models, or just a hud info error.

Did you make the fire particles yourself? Cause they look good (I am sure you can make it look even better :P)

[Rob Oplawar]

Looks alright (which is great for fire in CE, cause it's a bitch to get any fire that doesn't look like complete ass in CE).

Might look better if you toned down the smoke- it suffers a bit when the smoke particles overlap with the flame particles up close.

:iamafag:

Also the grenade seems a bit light, maybe increase the gravity effect on it?

[Amit]

I've never seen the firebomb in action in halo 3. Does it set someone on fire if it hits them? What kind of damage would it deal if it did? I would hope that it cuts into their shield quite a bit and impair their ability to see properly.

[ICEE]

if you get hit directly with a firebomb you have no chance of survival. You catch fire and burn to death.

Look's normal to me, the gif is just slow.

You figured a way so you can use 4 grenade types?

A shotgun attachment? Interesting.

I didn't notice it until I looked at the link. I was focusing on the lack of scope. Does it actually work in-game?

[Advancebo]

That is awesome

Why did you take off the silencer for the in-game'd version?

i took out a lot of things...

at any rate, it's still in the gbxmodel. i can reenable it

heh, i was wanting to do that for a long time.

The silencer on the shotgun makes the gun a bit too bulky, but I liked the feel of the silencer(the main barrel) on it. Couldn't care for the sights much.

Psst, thats his older version.

Is it going to be easy to do that orange overbloom from the fire grenade effect?

[Advancebo]

In the damage effect, you can have a color effect that appears on the screen. So instead of white for normal playing, it would be a bright orange.

[Heathen]

And the bloom/blur?

[ICEE]

Psst, thats his older version.

Psssst, he knows that.

Liking it by the way. Did you do an anim set? id be interested in seeing how the shotgun reload works.

[TeeKup]

Oh my god. Release that.

[Delta4907]

I like the idea, but on the topic of attachments, I'd prefer a bayonet attachment over a shotgun attachment. I've always wanted to see one on the battle rifle or assault rifle.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

I just retooled the halo 3 animations to fit it (base battle rifle; shotgun for secondary fire). I'm working on my own animations atm.
