B - Close to Halo 3 playing on a 4:3 television.

Ignore the arm appearing in the photos, it's just because this FOV isn't 70.

HALP! -- Questions Section

How do I tone down the AR's ROF? --

How can I fix the bubble shield's stupid ability of keeping people in and out but allowing the person inside to shoot out... WTF --

Can someone walk me through making a custom shield bar sometime? Every time I open up my map, it exceptions me. --

_______________________________________________

FAQ

Who are you and what do you want with me? -- Well, my name is FlamingRain and I started off as a complete idiot thinking that halo modding was easy.... See: GBX forums user Halo2hCE.

What is the Halo 3 Mod? -- A mod that incorporates all the content of the game Halo 3 by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios. This mod even includes a map in Halo 3 named High Ground.

How far are you into this mod? -- Not very far, I'm still working on the weapons. MA5C, SMG and SL are my highest priority.

Attempt something easier. -- No.

So.... are we still asking questions? -- I don't know, are you?

I don't know -- Okay, quit spamming.

No. -- BANNED.

[Jay2645]

The last one got locked due to off-topiciness, I think.
Oh, and the second AR.

[UrKungFuSux]

Okay! This is good, but the issue with the bubble shield is very simple. Now, gameplay-wise, it needs to be more balanced. Now, if you create it so the player can shoot from the inside out, it beccomes a noob weapon. Guys can just hide inside and start shooting.
Fixing this problem....
1. Creating the shield to allow other players to step in.
2. Creating the shield where the player inside cannot shoot out, thus eliminating most of the noob problem. All weapons were not made to be invincible. Each has its weakness. I.E. Rockets are dangerous at close range, and have low ammo capacity. So, to balance the game, you need to make sure the shield has flaws so others can get around that.

[Agamemnon]

So you're going to start out from complete scratch to do what others are currently in the process of doing/have already done and you will also be attempting this by yourself...

Were you not thinking this through?

[FRain]

Not nesscessarily by myself, but yes, I do understand that, and I am only doing it cause I want to.

[Ki11a_FTW]

instresting. That map is coming out ok actually.

[UrKungFuSux]

If I can offer any assistance, although I am quite new to modding.

P.S. For the spiker, Please do not make the spikes glow. It is somewhat annoying. In my opinion anyway.

[et_cg]

The aspect ratio doesn't matter.

You animate it, then you check your screen dimensions out, and you rework your animations to work correctly for both screen formats.

[Bad Waffle]

and you SHOULD have set the camera to 70 already. Also, you should have determined this on your own. Oh wait, i forgot--you were trying to show us that you actually worked on this mod. In that case, setting up the origins for a weapon that is already modeled and skinned doesnt count. Work harder.

[mistercheif]

This should be good. :)

[FRain]

Is there a reason you had to post that? No, there isn't. :gtfo:

Also, I had MUCH more done than that, I just showed that for now, because I didn't want to give away anything else. Sorry, :gtfo:

If you think I didn't work hard, take a look at this: http://youtube.com/profile?user=FlamingRain231

And every other animation in about 30 minutes. And not only that, I have to redo them. So, I put in ALOT OF EFFORT that YOU CAN'T SEE because I WAIT FOR FINISHED PRODUCT UPDATES.

[Bad Waffle]

I think you're obligated to "give more away" when you post a complete synopsis of your mod in great detail. a crappy little render of an unfinished rough draft map doesnt cut it. And i don't doubt that you work hard, you obviously do something with all that time you've wasted, its the fact that you are not EFFICIENT. your workflow is crap, you have no method of actually PRODUCING content and assets within a reasonable deadline. The reason why you incite so many flame wars is because you confuse people with all your claims that you never follow through on. You are a dreamer, not a creator. Learn the difference.



..And what happened to when you said you were going to post all those things related to your mod? as i recall, you said

I can handle this project, god damnit do you listen? No, you just think I can't because I haven't been able to do it, because you haven't seen me do it before. You don't know of half the stuff I've done but never told the public, but if I knew that I wasn't able to do it, I would have never even started. :gtfo: and KEEP IT THAT WAY. I am leaving this thread open, and I will post pictures AND vids NEXT WEEK. Until then, FLAME AWAY.


So flame, where are those things that you said you would produce, hm? You should NOT have posted this thread, and you SHOULD have worked on PRODUCING--instead of telling everybody who disagrees or has an opinion of you to GTFO.

And oh yea, dont flip out and flame me/lock the topic because you're on really thin ice right now. you would only solidify your bad reputation more as the new SVC.

GOOD DAY SIR!

[FRain]

Okay, I understand now.

BTW:


And oh yea, dont flip out and flame me/lock the topic because you're on really thin ice right now. you would only solidify your bad reputation more as the new SVC.


WOOT!

[bleach]

Flaming Rain, why didn't you reply to my messages about testing the beta for the Blood Gulch? Oh well, if you don't want me to test it, I'm fine with it. Whatever floats the boat, good day to you!

[FRain]

Actually, I wanted you to test, but I never got around to replying.

[bleach]

You got Xfire? Please PM me or get xfire. My Xfire: elmhillln14579
~Bleach

et_cg is actually right. No offense.

[et_cg]

A)WOOT!


B)Actually, I wanted you to test, but I never got around to replying.


A) Not needed. And never make fun of Wolunism, you will go to multiple hells.

B) Pure lazieness. If you were a potential lead for any potential project, you would at least be making an effort.

And:

You create posts that are flaming against others. Now that is not cool at all. Please, grow up a bit Flaming. And yes, I'm talking to you (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/member.php?u=47).

[bleach]

Flaming Rain, if you followed the advices that people have given you like et_cg and WoL, you might be a better person and think some common sense.
Yet again,
If you were a potential lead for any potential project, you would at least be making an effort.

[bleach]

Lol, where are the rest of the weapons in the Halo 3 Mod? :(:mad:
Missing: Rocket Launcher, Chaingun (I know you need a script, so find someone.), Beam Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Brute Shot, Energy Sword (You probably won't put this one in), Missile Pod (You might not do this weapon), Needler, Plasma Rifle, and Plasma Pistol?

[FRain]

I am well aware of those weapons, but am not working on those ATM, that is why they do not show up... If you want me to work on them before I get the Crucial 3 - MA5C SL, and SMG.

[Bad Waffle]

Well, you've already dug your grave, rain. Enjoy wasting your time :/

[Tweek]

oh hey another one of these threads. cool.
this will MORE than likely end up in a "yay postcount +1 thread"

rain, TAKE A FUCKING HINT.
i have to say, i've seriously never EVER seen anyone before in my life, as well IRL as on tah intarwebs someone that's so freaking stupid.

WHY WHY do you keep doing this. you're only making a fool out of yourself.
more with each thread, each post.

[teh lag]

WHY make another thread showing this? If you're serious about making this something people will enjoy, you should't give so much time (which you claim to be short on, if I remember correctly) to trying to hype it and post every little thing you do to make it seem like you're trying. You need to give as much as possible to develop things for it, so it looks good. Make the mod happen, and then worry about showing it to people. your "pre-alpha" was a half-assed attempt at showing what "effort" you had put in, but according to you, everything was a palaceholder or was going to be fixed. Why didn't you take the time to fix what you KNEW was wrong, instead of rush out crap? I didn't post renders of the CMT brute 2.0 until the body's model and one full permutation of armor was done. I didn't go "hey, here's the legs of the body, theyre not done and probably will be replaced." Until you develop a work system here that focuses on development of content first above everything, and not releasing pictures until it's something you know you'll be proud of, you will simply not progress fast enough to get a good product out, if you progress at all.

Also, you should ALWAYS be animating at a 70 fov camera for Halo - there's no reason not to.

[JunkfoodMan]

So, What happened to High ground? And updates on that?

Enough of the Adjutant Reflex stuff already. If you really want to get involved, go to BNet and join the Compound Intelligence group. That's it. I don't want to hear anyting from AR imitations again.

Edit: well I decided to read more than one post after mine. I take back what I just said (deleted it) . So, Mr. ONI, I will continue with my argument.

Where is the headquarters for Section Zero located? Was it destroyed, does it still exist, or has it even been built yet? Answer correctly and I will trust you.
