[MOD] SomethingTeam

[Gwunty]

The pistol seems off-center...how can he be shooting at the rectile, if he's in sucha ackward position relative to the rectile?
and I see a normal H1 hud...hows it new?
he means he has gotten a new HUD since the video. Also the gun dosnt have to point directly to the center to shoot in the reticle, pm me if you want me to show how. I dont want to go off-topic

[FRain]

KiLLa has been around since 2004, so I think he'd know how to make it do that. He's saying in common sense, if you shoot somewhere else.

[Pooky]

he means he has gotten a new HUD since the video. Also the gun dosnt have to point directly to the center to shoot in the reticle, pm me if you want me to show how. I dont want to go off-topic

Uhh........

You don't seriously think the view model has any relation at all to where the shots come out do you?

Pretty sure he meant it just looked awkward

[KiLLa]

I mean it's not even angled where the bullets are acutally going(the rectile), and it seems awfully odd he's shooting in one direction, and the bullets are going a different way than the gun is aimed...h4x mb?
And yea..I was one of the first to fully make custom FP anims, so yea...I'll pass on that offer..

[ICEE]

Those anims aren't even Frains. They're cad's. You may have misread his post, he said that there were new animations for the pistol since that video.

[FRain]

Yours :)

[ICEE]

ooo :). Mine do aim directly at the center. I have the laser pointer version to prove it.

[KiLLa]

ooohhh I see now, so then wtf was he showing off?
I see a normal hud, and apparently OLD anims...
I'm totally missing the point of the vid now :confused:

[FRain]

It was made about a month ago when we had a test, and I was bant when I made the vid, so I just thought I'd catch you guys up.

[Roostervier]

His point was that it was pointless to catch us up with outdated content. <_<

[FRain]

Ah, okay. >_>

Anyways, we're going to be testing again hopefully by next week or after winter break starts. All I'm waiting for now is for me to finish Battle Rifle animations, fixing a couple of sniper rifle glitches (and fucked up shaders on that point), and waiting for the spiker skin to get done, and the HUD to be finished.

[{GR.DestroyerGR}]

wtf in the video?
are you greek?

[FRain]

What?

[FRain]

I'm going to be holding a test sometime next week or the week after. Anyone respectable in? We will be testing some revised stuff, and our new hud. Also, veex bitmaps and spiker finally in.

[ICEE]

I'm in again. please.

[Corvette19]

I'll test if you want me to.

[Gwunty]

im in again

[LinkandKvel]

also me again.

[ODX]

What maps would they be this time?

[FRain]

Hang Em still, but I might change beaver creek. I'll see.

[Inferno]

Chillout

[FRain]

eDa4rYl9vhA&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

Help on this:

Projectile only travels for a certain amount of time before dissapearing, and it only travels for about 3 seconds. I've looked everywhere in the projectile tag and in the weapon tag and I can't find how far the thing can travel. The only thing I can do is make it go fasterrr and it will cover more ground.

E: Also, can someone help me make it so it only fires 1 side per shot and not two?

[Inferno]

Edit-
Also improve the fugly plasma shader on the front of the turret. Give it some plasma effects and not just leave it as a bitmap witha alpha.

[Amit]

I'd like to see plasma flak.

[SnaFuBAR]

wtf is a turrent?

protip, i'm telling you to check your spelling/buy a dictionary/learn english punctuation because you're not too good at it

[FRain]

Hint: that was for the lolz. I am very aware it's spelled turret.

[Ki11a_FTW]

the anti air turret needs something different about the model, maybe new bitmaps or something, to make it unique

[SnaFuBAR]

Hint: that was for the lolz. I am very aware it's spelled turret.
right... oh, and your textures have no depth, makes em look gross. add custom bump maps and all that, otherwise it just looks like lines painted on the ground. Your draw animation for the pistol is also kinda gross. Who tilts their gun to the right when they cock it? that's just wrong and it looks really bad. If you're going to tilt it, you tilt it inwards, not outwards. gb2firearms101

[sdavis117]

I'm in for this test thingy.

[FRain]

right... oh, and your textures have no depth, makes em look gross. add custom bump maps and all that,
they actually do have bumpmaps, but they are failing for some reason and don't work. we have more bitmaps from Invader Veex soon otherwise it just looks like lines painted on the ground.
Your draw animation for the pistol is also kinda gross. ICEE's pistol animations. i'll do some new ones later Who tilts their gun to the right when they cock it? that's just wrong and it looks really bad. If you're going to tilt it, you tilt it inwards, not outwards. gb2firearms101

Those would be my pistol animations. He and I discussed this, and he will be redoing the draw ready animation whenever he can be fucked to do so. Way to miss the point of the video.

[SnaFuBAR]

I crit what I see, I don't do tag work. I didn't miss the point of the video, I can fucking read.

[FRain]

Great news, I fixed my problems with the tagset and I decided we will hold a public (internal) beta tomorrow.

Sign up and I'll send you a build.

Time is still to be announced.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Overview

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8018/haloce2008122819002704fp9.jpg

AA Turret effects. (Only in HangemHigh for testing purposes)

http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/236/haloce2008122819014539ir5.jpg

Grenade particle explosion. Better if seen in animation.

I'll make a vid of some new stuff if you guys want.

[ODX]

Not really liking the floor, looks really repetitive. Probably because it stands out so much with it's details compared to the pillars and elevated walkways. Also, I'll only test if you down-powered that cursed AA-Turret. I don't want to see you whoring it and killing us all like you did last time D:

[FRain]

Yeah, it's at about 1/4 damage now. Much less acceleration, too so you don't go flying 1/2 way across the map when i shoot people in vehicles.

[Inferno]

Yeah floor is *bleh*

Although your rainbow ringed explosions are Fabulous

[FRain]

Lol, that appears for only about .01 second so its very unnoticeable. I just attempted to fraps the explosion real fast.

[Inferno]

Oh and on the turret. Make the projectile emit more clouds of red smoke per second. So that the contrail has less gaps in it.

[Heathen]

Video?

E: The explosions on the AA is awesome.

[ODX]

Yeah, it's at about 1/4 damage now. Much less acceleration, too so you don't go flying 1/2 way across the map when i shoot people in vehicles.Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! I was sick of you shooting me around everywhere. I'll test now.

[FRain]

Any more beta testers? If not, I'll just cancel, doesn't seem like many people want to.

[ODX]

Any more beta testers? If not, I'll just cancel, doesn't seem like many people want to.What exactly would be new in this beta anyway to make people interested? I just said yes because I want to try the balanced AA-Turret in combat.

[Hotrod]

When would the beta test be? I might be interested in joining.

[FRain]

Ugh, I think around 6pm pacific. I'm not sure if people on the eastern side would be able to make it 'cause that's around 9pm. Thinking about tomorrow, I still have shit to fix, too.

[sdavis117]

I'll beta test.

[FRain]

Tomorrow 4pm PST.

This is final.

SomethingTeam Hangemhigh and Danger Canyon

[Hotrod]

I think I could make it for then, if you really need more people, though I'd need the maps. :/

[Rentafence]

I could do tonight at 6, well, 9 for me.

[LinkandKvel]

Pages back I said I did. Did you include me?

[FRain]

Yes.

[Pooky]

Tomorrow 4pm PST.

This is final.

Next time we play in the same game, I'll dominate you. :hist101:

I was E-76 on the HCEL server.

Will it still be going on around 10:00? I'll be back from swim by then....

[ICEE]

Am I playing this one?

[FRain]

If you want to.

[Hotrod]

So, how many beta testers do you have, and would me being there help?

[FRain]

You're on the list.

List of testers counted:

ODX

Also add flamingrain231 on xfire if you want to do a voice chat.

[ODX]

FRain stop posting 3 seconds before me :(

[Hotrod]

Alright, thanks, I'll need the maps though. And at what time (in Eastern Time) will it be at?

[FRain]

Server is up.

Hotrod, I think i sent one to you.

h/o 5 min i think my sound is ufcked.

[Hotrod]

Alright, I should be able to go on soon enough.

[DarkHalo003]

That was loads of fun. I just stole 1st in KotH while everyone was killing each other. >xD

[Hotrod]

Yeah, it was fun when I was there, except when CAD broke my heart. :saddowns:

[DarkHalo003]

Yeah, it was fun when I was there, except when CAD broke my heart. :saddowns:
I was surprised that I beat CAD most of the times we fought, but I think something weird was up with the Melee. I think I melee'd Veex like three times at some point while moving around and it didn't register, yet made the impact noise. Report Al La Bug.

[FRain]

Lag has always been like that.

I've also got some hilarious footage, I'm not going to make a big video with edits, but I'll put up some footage of the game.

I meant the part where he said that he didn't love me, but yeah, I know what you mean. I'm surprised I did as good as I did, since I haven't played CE online since the past summer.

[Ilvdrftng]

I've also got some hilarious footage, I'm not going to make a big video with edits, but I'll put up some footage of the game.
You mean the one where you tried to melee someone but somehow I got in front of you?

[Ilvdrftng]

Can somebody help me with the ammo meters? I'm making a bar based off of HueroSam's concept, but all the weapons have a different alpha multiplier, and I'm pretty sure thats not normal

[Masterz1337]

All weapons need different alpha multipliers based off of their ammo count. CMT HUD uses 2 different ammo bars, one for batterys, one for ammo.

[Pooky]

Next time we play in the same game, I'll dominate you. :hist101:

Oops, I could have sworn you were already on my Xfire. I don't use it much anymore. Added.

[HDoan]

BIGGER LASER SPLASH DAMAGE PLEASE

EDIT: Or atleast some auto aim -_- You have to be dead on accurate and its hard to aim with a big circle

[DarkHalo003]

Did I do something?

I don't remember :S
We were on the same team and we all kept betraying each other. I think Bunny was in that game....

[ThePlague]

I'm going to model a BR tomorrow to try and get in, like I told FRain on Xfire, my skills include (but aren't limited to):
Modeling
Unwrapping
HUD
Texturing (learning)
And Tagging

I showed him my work and he said for me to make a weapon, and I decided to make a BR because I was going to do one anyway.

Oh thought so. :(

[FRain]

Hey, since I got my comp up and running, anyone wanna do a test soon? Haven't played my mod in so long that I really don't know what to fix, so I've just been ditsing around with cutscenes recently.

[Rentafence]

Sure, I've nothing better to do today.

[sdavis117]

I'll join if I can.

[bobsam]

beta test today after I get home from the doctor.:rolleyes: My Xfire is 1bobsam1.

[Sabre]

If the offer's up for anyone, I'd like to.

[=sw=warlord]

Hey, since I got my comp up and running, anyone wanna do a test soon? Haven't played my mod in so long that I really don't know what to fix, so I've just been ditsing around with cutscenes recently.
I'l help test if you want.

[Inferno]

If you need me I'll be on xfire and AIM.

[FRain]

Test today?

[FRain]

Hey, I'm still in need of someone to unwrap weapons for me. There are several weapons I have that really need to be skinned, but I tried to unwarp them, and it failed.

[FRain]

This is the new HUD in action.

E: YES, I know about the shitty colors. Don't be a fag :downs:

[ramis92]

You should scale down the health and shield bars. They look wayyyy too big.

[Roostervier]

not gonna lie, i think they look terrible. too large and the style is just... really off.

[ICEE]

I think when it comes to HUDs (not necessarily the rest of UI) compactness is best. Move your shield and health bars nearer together, scale them down a shit ton. Also, less thick. They can be about that length, just make it thinner. This is just my opinion of course, but in my opinion, my opinion is the best opinion.:realsmug:

[Masterz1337]

I'd suggest scaling them them to .75.

[ThePlague]

And also moving the shield to the right more.

[FRain]

So I've hit a complete dead end. There's nothing really I can add in, and theres stuff that needs to be finished that aren't that I need help with. I really need someone to teach me or unwrap stuff for me, and someone to model stuff, or teach me how to model better. Is there anyone that can help with this?

[Donut]

idk if this was said (because fuck 35 pages), but please get rid of the sniper rifle reload animation. im not even sure what to say about it other than there is way too much unnecessary movement

[FRain]

Lol, those animations were taken out a while ago.

[FRain]

Some HUD work. Only thing I've worked on is the shield bars. Yes, i know the automag's skin sucks and is completely broken right where the chamber should be.

[UnevenElefant5]

Looks suspiciously like my shield bar.
http://www.xfire.com/video/11355a/

[ThePlague]

Wasn't that one of my concepts? I was the first to make anything close to that, so no need to argue about it. Either way I like the middle to outside effect.

[TEMPTii]

I want your weapons tags D:

[FRain]

Huero made the concept, I'm not entirely sure where he got it.

no u cannot has my weapons :)

[Donut]

pistol looks elongated. perhaps scaling it down on one axis would make it look better. and yes please replace the skin on it to something more crisp

[FRain]

DU4lIAoJDe4

something i did
yes im redoing the automag dont make fun of me :saddowns:

[=sw=warlord]

Very impressive.
Are you going to get someone to model a face behind the visor then and use this in a mod?

[FRain]

Probably.

[Heathen]

meh, dont see the point passed a novelty.

[ThePlague]

I think he did it for cutscenes or something, right?

[FRain]

Yeah, most likely.

[n00b1n8R]

If you're going to put a face in there, make it female just so it's not "OMG THE CHIEF'S FACEEEE" and put a blue hue on it from the HUD inside the helmet.

[Inferno]

Use louis's face from L4D.

[FRain]

lmfao i actually was going to steal the faces from l4d lol

[Heathen]

Do the blue hue thing...makes sense after all.

[FRain]

The blue wipe? I'll do that later, it's easy enough to do it's just that i'll have to compile a new model and im busy reskinning the automag atm.

[n00b1n8R]

Wouldn't it make more sense for the visor to polarise when the flashlight is off (high-light) then when it is on (low-lite)

[Inferno]

Wouldn't it make more sense for the visor to polarise when the flashlight is off (high-light) then when it is on (low-lite)

Since when does halo make sense?

[teh lag]

There's a difference between not making sense for the sake of cool and not making sense for no reason at all.

Not to mention that I would assume that it's only linked to the flashlight for testing purposes.

[Inferno]

There's a difference between not making sense for the sake of cool and not making sense for no reason at all.
True.

But try and apply that logic to the 60 bullets in the tiny assault rifle clip.

:allears:

[Heathen]

Not to mention that I would assume that it's only linked to the flashlight for testing purposes.

figured everyone would have guessed that...
Am I the smartest one here? jk

[Huero]

figured everyone would have guessed that...
Am I the smartest one here?

hahahahaha
no.
anyway i'd just like to say that i am damn proud of my hud

[FRain]

The only way I can actually get it to work is to link it to the flashlight, so thats out of the question. I'll probably only use this in cinematics as I can remove the flashlight "light" and just make it polarize on/off

[Rob Oplawar]

Can you do it on a scenery piece instead? (for example, the helmet that MC takes off at the end of the final cinematic)

[FRain]

The thing is that flashlight is the only thing I can control via script. So, probably not as it would be a biped.

[klange]

The thing is that flashlight is the only thing I can control via script. So, probably not as it would be a biped.
You can make the visor a device_machine and set the polarization to its power level, then attach it to a node on the head with objects_attach. It will still turn on and off. I once attached a door to a biped and told it to open, worked fine (yeah, I also did the power thing, the light did what it was supposed to).

[FRain]

I'll try that later, it's not too complex seeing as all it is is that the visor is a shader_transparent_chicago that is triggered by a function that is the flashlight in the biped (A Out)

[Heathen]

hahahahaha
no.
anyway i'd just like to say that i am damn proud of my hud

get out sam.

But yeh, what would be the point of that rob?

[n00b1n8R]

True.

But try and apply that logic to the 60 bullets in the tiny assault rifle clip.

:allears:
What part of "for the sake of cool" do you fail to comprehend. :downs:

[Inferno]

Clips that are way to small to hold 60 bullets but some how do are totally cool.

:smugsome:

[Rob Oplawar]

get out sam.

But yeh, what would be the point of that rob?

I have this mod where there are these ODSTs that take off/put on their helmets during cinematics...

[Heathen]

>.> Fine.
