I have to say that is one of the cooler scripts I've seen for Halo CE.

[Evil_Monkey]

Wow, great work. Would this work for multiplayer?

[DarkHalo003]

That was nicely done. Is it possible to speed up the chief's boarding of the Ghost though? It looked like he was stuck there for a bit. Other than that, very nice job.

[Heathen]

Its cool. he was kinda just chilling, but I assume thats jsut in animations right?

[Roostervier]

Aside from his animation itself being a tad slow, him being "stuck" is a result of switching to the ghost enter animation when the positions don't perfectly match up. Well, at least that's what I imagine the problem is, not sure if it's really that.

[ICEE]

oh very cool.

[FluffyDucky™]

Haha, awesome. :)

[Hotrod]

That's quite awesome, one of the best things I have seen for Halo CE.

And is that a Hornet I see? :)

[Heathen]

Where? I missed the hornet then...

[DEElekgolo]

While they are boarding. That is the player's status from a different point of view?

[KiDD]

Pretty awesome man.

[Masterz1337]

Nice. I presume it uses 2 vehicle tags?

[Arteen]

That's pretty cool.

[Choking Victim]

Open sauce comes with a multi team vehicles feature. Two vehicles are no longer required. I did this shortly after os was released using h2 anims, looks good though killa.

[dark57]

Dude thats fuckin' awesome. Also I like that smg :)

[Alwin Roth]

That looks amazing, i never expected Ce to actually have the capability of doing this.


Plus, has anyone here made a 'perfect" gravity llift/mancannon?

[cheezdue]

It took time to board the ghost, either way great stuff.

[NuggetWarmer]

Cool. Also, that's H3MT's hornet you see there for those of you wondering. :)

[RickYng]

Looks perfect to me. Good job :)

[ultama121]

Oh man that's nice stuff. : D

[ODX]

Yes, you did a good job modeling it (I read the description of the video, haha, I win :P)

Also, what exactly is different about this boarding script that makes it better? I'm a bit confused, all I noticed was he could jump this time, and the elite died when he kicked him.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Thanks guys.

the animation was based off the one from the Halo 2 E3 demonstration

E: i added the boarding i made in July 07 in the original post.

[dark57]

The ghost doesnt fall as much in the new one :D

Well, it's visually pleasing and it knocks off one more AI in an encounter, allowing the game to run smoother in some cases.

What do you plan to do with that hornet? And wasn't Contamination supposed to be released already?

[Ki11a_FTW]

The only reason i have that hornet is because i used to be the vehicle person in h3mt, id animate, make shaders, then put ingame.

[killer9856]

Korn was right about 2009 :)

[Reaper Man]

This has been possible for a while, but this is by far the nicest job I've seen.

[Hotrod]

Same here, the only little thing I could complain about it the Ghost turning off, then on again, but nothing can be perfect, and I know that doing it without that happening probably isn't very easy at all, if even possible. So, it's probably as good as it's going to get.

[Masterz1337]

That can be fixed actually.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

What would be cool, if instead of kicking the elite off, he shot it in the head, thus killing it, then boarded it.
Then, the delay there would be filled by the killing :)

[Ki11a_FTW]

Watch the Halo 2 E3 demonstration boarding. Also, in the early testing, the ghost didnt fall down a bit, but the timing was a bit off, i had him get in the ghost right after the elite was killed, but MC kinda snapped into the ghost due to the rest of the animation that happens after booting the elite out, i could have done it if i edited the animation, but really, it doesnt even fall to the ground half way, so i didnt look at it as that big a deal.

[Hotrod]

That can be fixed actually.
Shh, I don't know that...

How would you fix it?

[Ki11a_FTW]

have the player be put in the vehicle right after the AI is killed\ ejected, with the editing of my animation.

[Masterz1337]

Driver powerup and powerdown time.

So does this use 2 vehicles or OS for the team vehicles?

[sdavis117]

I thought someone made an app without using Open Sauce that allowed for multi-team vehicles.

Edit: Heathen sniped me before I could make this edit, but linky FTW: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11524&highlight=team+vehicles

[Heathen]

Yeah, those Intergalactic Idiots or something.

it uses 2 vehicles, but OS would make it even easier, if i knew how to use it

Compile the source code that korn released, it will create a dll. Place that dll in your CE directory, now in any map you host you will have multi team vehicles.

[Masterz1337]

I still can't that to work >_>, I have my boarding script to, but without a external app or OS there's no way to test it.

[RickYng]

Compile the source code that korn released, it will create a dll. Place that dll in your CE directory, now in any map you host you will have multi team vehicles.
There is an even easier way.

For the people that don't have Visual Studio installed:

1.Make a backup of your 1.08 haloce.exe.

2.Get a Hex Editor, go to Address 16A3B1 and replace the next 3 bytes (including the one at the address)with B3, 01, EB

3. Save, launch Halo and make a LAN server.

Credit to Korn.

[Lex1337]

There should have been a little struggle action thing between the two players. Watching the player just knock him/her off of their vehicle. While the other player is defenseless looks dumb.

Just make it so that the elite(referring to the video) tries to grab the Chief before the Chief knocks him off. Instead of the elite just watch himself get knocked off.

Try to do this if possible.

[Ki11a_FTW]

its possible , but in going to do that for single player maps, most ghosts that i will allow you to board will have grunts or brutes, until then, i wont be making another video on it

[Inferno]

Killa how many ghosts are you going to have to script for boarding?

[Ki11a_FTW]

not sure

[Inferno]

Well I can imagine having to set that up for lots of ghosts would be a pain.

[sevlag]

anyone else hear what appeared to be elite laughing as he got killed or is that just me?

[Alwin Roth]

oh good im not the only one...

[Ki11a_FTW]

its one of the death dialogues from halo 2, :lol:

[Advancebo]

Using the "vehicle has fake hovering physics command"?

[Ki11a_FTW]

no

[MissingSpartan7]

can we get the script and/or model animations for that??

[sevlag]

its one of the death dialogues from halo 2, :lol:
wow...so when an elite dies, it laughs some times "lawls, I just died!"

[UnevenElefant5]

Can't see the picture things in the first post. :|
