I have noticed that i Halo 2 and Halo 3 there is a blurr behind the energy that comes from the Gauss hog turret. Like the kid of blurr that you get behind the Grav Lift in Halo 3.

I have looked at the Halo 1 sniper rifle bitmap that you see when you zoom in. There is a alpha channel in there which is like a rectangle blurred alot to make the edges ultra smooth and not sharp, when the sniper rifle zooms in the rest of the environment blurrs:

Does this alpha channel make the blurr effect.

no, that's a camera over lay effect or whatever the fuck it's called.

No. You don't even have the right mindset for modding. Get off these forums.

Those are two entirely different systems - sniper is a camera effect, the gauss hog is using something in an effect that that isn't in Halo 1's engine.


No. You don't even have the right mindset for modding. Get off these forums.

He saw something similar, he wondered if there was a connection. Granted he could (SHOULD) have done more research into it, but that's a perfectly valid mindset. Of course, common sense (which given some could have figured that alphas are NOT blur at all,) is needed, but you can't lash out at someone like that.

He, at the least, tried some stuff and did research of his own instead of coming to the forums and go hai guyz i sees blurr i DO WANT blur.

Err, I got the impression he was a newb who got off to a rocky start and is now making some attempt to create and contribute something.

Hmm... Funny, I don't see any mention of CMT in his post.

In that case what the hell is a Guess Hog? A hog that shoots questions till it turns the victim to a mass of foaming at the mouth carbon?

Either way I don't think you really want to pay attention that small detail.....also wasn't that a heat distortion? Not blur?

thank you

and hunter, i don't think that shockwave going through the air is possible to create in halo 1, but the epic contrail that tails the blast as in halo 3 is possible to make
