[MOD] SomethingTeam

[FRain]

So I've put enough work onto SomethingTeam, so I might as well show it. Read before you start posting comments like:

"THIS IS SHIT"

"ALL IT IS IS BLOODGULCH WITH A FEW ROCKS ADDED"

"GTFO NOOB"

"STOP TRYING TO BE A MODDER BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKSTICK" (what?)

"lol"

"LOCK IT BECAUES THIS SUCKS NAO"

I'm the ONLY person that has worked on this mod. All of my content came from old H3T, or other and has been edited to be 100% more better, or was created newly, or edited from Halo 1.

In short, I need help. I've been able to get this far but I really can't do EVERYTHING in this mod.
The tests were alot of fun, gameplay-wise, but graphically are pretty poor. I need a few people to help me with this so it can become better.


The video is here

YpTT8PJetPI

SomethingTeam's idea is to get a taste of h1, h2, h3, expanded universe, and custom in.

Give me feedback, criticism, and if you'd like to join just PM me because I really need help. like.

"really"

Positions open:

Unwrapper -

If this gets out of hand too quickly, I'll lololololockedk.

[ICEE]

The animations seem much better.

[Sel]

When you began putting clips near the end where you were locked onto the target, it looked like you were aimbotting.

Also, why bloodgulch, theres so many less bland maps out there that you could use as a testing map, would leave a better taste in the video watchers mouths.

[Roostervier]

Work on your animations please. Most are inconsistent in time (it's a bit difficult to explain) and choppy. Spend some more time on your existing ones, and if you work on them right, they should turn out fine.

[FRain]

I personally before we tested was going to do Infinity, but, we only ended up with 5 testers, so I decided on bloodgulch.

[Rentafence]

Please use the H1 MC, all other bipeds look like crap. I'm begging you.

[Sel]

I meant something custom, like cliffhanger, or something.

[Dr Pepper]

I really like this. Great job. You need som rep cookies!
I lik the assualt rife the most

[Bastinka]

Eh, it's still bloodgulch I say. I'll try it when I get back home, so I can crit on the 'feel' of the map.

[n00b1n8R]

Your kidding. Your picking on his choice of test map? :fail:

[Sel]

Your kidding. Your picking on his choice of test map? :fail:

I played 5 rounds on bloodgulch today, I'm sick of it D:

[Anton]

It's a test map.. what does that have to do with you playing it?



Also, I like what I see so far. Especially the AR and the biped is alright.

[Bastinka]

Scale blood gulch down, it always needed to be IMO.

[Sel]

I know its a test map, I'm just saying, that a better overall effect with the video could be achieved, if he used a map that hasn't been played by just about everyone here, 5000 times :|

[Bastinka]

..or a map that hasn't ever been played, am I hinting at something?

I would change the sky, it looks too out of place.

[Ki11a_FTW]

you really shouldent of posted this with using the defaut level blood gulch :-|

animations are getting better though

[FRain]

Point stated that I will not be using bloodgulch for a release. I already have Huerosam working up a concept for a chiron-teleportery covenant map, and when he's done concepting it Disaster (just recruited today) will model it.

[Masterz1337]

SomethingTeam's idea is to get a taste of h1, h2, h3, expanded universe, and custom in.




I lolled.

[Heathen]

That sentence confuses me.

[blind]

Doesn't look very innovative vOv

[Masterz1337]

That sentence confuses me.
Because he is forming his teams focus on the same thing that CMT's is?

By all means, I don't have a problem with im "stealing" our "ideas", but couldn't he be a tad bit more creative than being another imitation mod?

[Cortexian]

lol, well I've come to the conclusion that THIS IS SHIT and ALL IT IS IS BLOODGULCH WITH A FEW ROCKS ADDED. To be quite serious you should STOP TRYING TO BE A MODDER BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKSTICK, and you should LOCK IT BECAUES THIS SUCKS NAO.

Please GTFO NOOB.

Learn to sarcasm you noobs.

Also,

Why are you trying to make a mod that's already been done by CMT? CMT did exactly what you're attempting to do, and they did it without having to use other peoples stuff.

[FRain]

What?

I had this idea of being completely custom mod back in H3T days, when I realized copying h3 isnt quite my style.

[SnaFuBAR]

i agree. I'm sorry, but this is riding the coattails of CMT, and isn't doing it nearly as well.

E: so instead of copying H3, you're copying CMT?? lol

[FRain]

I'm suprised at the stupidity of this forum.

Because I have a custom mod I'm fucking copying CMT?

[Masterz1337]

Well you did a pretty good job paraphrasing what I've always said CMT was all about. What did you think people would say?

Also, what happened to that green bar of rep you earned?

[FRain]

I earned it by doing EXACTLY and BETTER at what I'm doing now. People realize that this bandwagon "Let's find 1 flaw in FRain's idea so that we can beat on it so we look cooler that we're killing a respectable member of the community! YAY!" is stupid. The sheer stupidity of all of you together is hilarious. You were right masterz. This forum is made of idiots. I can not believe you guys are so simple-minded that you actually earn a good reputation around here. Isn't it great? Hey, let's find another flaw, so it can look like we're super smart, and hes stupid! YAY!

Oh look a detail that he's making a CUSTOM mod, maybe we can turn that into OMG YOU'RE COPYING CMT YOU DUMBASS.


:\

Gonna leave this thread open until a moderator sees fit to lock it.

ps: 1000th post.

[Cortexian]

It's not that you're making a custom mod, it's that you're making a mod based on "a taste of h1, h2, h3, expanded universe, and custom" content.

That is EXACTLY what CMT is.

[Rentafence]

What's the point in putting him down? Just let him do what he wants. Honestly, more content for this old game can never hurt, even if it's similar to other content.

[Cortexian]

No it can't hurt.

No one will play it unless it's BETTER than CMT though.

[Rentafence]

So the only reason your putting him down is because CMT is "better" than him? I really wouldn't mind a bit more flavor to CE, even if it's of lesser quality.

[Cortexian]

I'm not putting him down.

I'm letting him know that he's doing something that's already been done. Unless he does better than the previous creation (CMT) no one will play his work, and it will have practically been for nothing.

[Bad Waffle]

meh, zmt have spent years recreating halo 2 in halo 1, so who the fuck cares if fr does something similar to CMT?

[Cortexian]

All I'm saying is that it's already been done, I doubt anyone will play it. Therefore it's a waste of time and he should do something ELSE.

[Bastinka]

Why are you telling an... him what to do with his time?

[Cortexian]

Okay fine, Flaming Rain, go ahead with your mod, I hope you get members for your "team" and get your mod/maps finished.

I probably won't be downloading them.

[Choking Victim]

I thought CMT stood for custom mapping team, not "Copy everything from halo 1, 2, and 3 Mapping Team". Masters, idk how many times you've told people "this is not a halo 3 mod" when a fan asks you to implement a feature halo 3 has. But now when Fgrain has something to show, your mod suddenly turns into exactly what he's doing just so you can insult him. Cool...

I've always said we're not a H3 mod, but I have said more times than I can count that we take everything from all 3 games and the expanded universe.

I don't have a problem with him wanting to do the exact same thing, but I would rather see him put his skills into something new and interesting. Wouldn't you think it was a bit strange if someone else decided to make their own extraction tools and re-assemble H2 in CE?

Edit: And when we change our name to custom, it was because back then, the majority of people were using ripped content, so it was a way to differnciate ourselves. What you guys call custom now is nothing like the community viewed it as back in 2006.

[Choking Victim]

Wouldn't you think it was a bit strange if someone else decided to make their own extraction tools and re-assemble H2 in CE?
They can at least try. There's still people making halo 2 mods using existing extraction tools.

[Ifafudafi]

BAH.
Why is it that all of FRains threads turn into a shitstorm? I bet you twenty bucks if this was made by somebody else, it wouldn't get half as much neg-repbombing.

Here's a suggestion for all you faggots: ACT LIKE CMT NEVER EXISTED. Look at this thing and judge it as such. I'll go ahead and start off.

---

The custom content that you have looks pretty good, although animations are a little strange; particularly melee ones. Also, new textures look like it's just a bunch of grunge slapped on top of the base metal, which I personally can't stand.

The catch there is that I'm seeing very little custom content, other than the AR, BR, SMG, and some rocks. The only other thing worth noting that I saw was the little lens flare effect you added upon spawning, which I liked.

If anything, just refrain (lolol pun) from releasing extremely early and buggy builds of the project like you did with H3T. I'm interested in seeing where this is going.

[FRain]

Of course. That was one thing that I now realize was actually not good for the mod. I will be testing constantly, but however, will not be releasing until its at least playable and graphically well to look at to find any more bugs to fix then fix it, and then I'll release it final Of course this will be in a very very long time.

[Inferno]

:words:

Exactly what i was thinking. Even though there is very little of it the custom content so far is really good.

[ICEE]

I don't see why everyones making a big deal about him "copying CMT". If he wants to make primarily custom content, let him. Granted, his idea is fairly similar to CMT's but so what? Pepsi is similar to Coke and yet you don't see people shooting it down. Besides, in what way will it ever hurt you?

And for the people who insisted on calling it bad just because its in blood gulch: He's just testing gameplay there. Jesus.

[FRain]

And, not only that I said it was just testing gameplay, I also said that we were ALREADY working on getting a new map modeled.

[legionaire45]

It might just be my computer being retarded, but the video seemed like it was fast forwarded. Also, something about the SMG reload animations looks funny (the way his hand gropes the magazine into place).

I'm not calling it bad, I'm just saying that it would give an overall better effect if he did something less seen D:

[ICEE]

yes the smg animations were all around bad. The assault rifle looked pretty decent though, but the melee seemed uncomfortable.

[PopeAK49]

Ya well i think there doing something great. I mean if these guys are copying cmt then what did cmt copy from? hmm i wonder. Could it be bungie? i mean come on every team has a source that they started from so give these guys a damn break, okay.

--edit--
LOL i just realized my post is just like iron clads.

[FRain]

What can I improve on the SMG anis in general? I was planning on tuning up animations today.

[Ifafudafi]

I actually like most of 'em, particularly the melee (which is sexier than all the rest) but as stated previously, the hand/finger placement when MC replaces the magazine is different and strange. Just toy around with that a bit.

Also more kickback.

[FRain]

Alright! No problem. Will fix.

[ICEE]

Well it looks to me like it is the exact same anims set that doan claims to have made for h3mt (the smg), and that in its self makes me question the quality. The melee looks like it has basically no force. Look at the elite smg melee in halo 2 and 3. thats how a one handed melee should be done with the smg. The hand and finger positioning on the reload was just terrible.

[FRain]

No. Goddamn why does everyone say that the AR and SMG animations are the ones doan made for h3mt? They aren't. The melee is like the one with the elite in halo 2 and halo 3 and yes, I am working on the reload.

[ICEE]

If it were "like the elite one from halo 2 and halo 3" I wouldn't have told you to look at those and compare. Yours looks really shallow and weak.

Edit: after a somewhat closer comparison, yes your anims are slightly different than h3mt's.

[JunkfoodMan]

The SMG anims look a bit too snappy. Try making them smoother, but not so smooth that he looks somewhat robotic.

[Hotrod]

This seems pretty interesting, and when I first saw your goal for the mod, I didn't think "CMT", I thought "this seems quite interesting, can't wait to see what will come out of this". This looks quite nice at the moment, though it could use a bit of work in most aspects, probably because it's early enough in development.

[rossmum]

Why is it that all of FRains threads turn into a shitstorm?
Could well be something to do with the fact that every single time even a hint of negativity appears, he will explode into some sort of self-destructive emo tantrum and basically flame the living shit out of everyone and everything and go on some indignant soapbox rant about how shit everyone treats him and how horrible they are and etc., etc. whereas any other person would just ignore it and move the fuck on; therefore if I wasn't stone broke, I'd cover that bet.

Had to be said, and he was actually doing pretty well while he kept it under control. Obviously it was too much to hope he'd keep it that way.

[Huero]

Rossmum's right, but he only explodes when he's flamebaited into it
in this case, masterz was being a jackass

Very well.

Does anyone know what the shader name for the transparent indoor lighting shader is in a10?

You know, the shader you place on a plane that lights up your map instead of having a sky in it.

are you kidding? he started his rant in the opening post.:eyesroll:

[FRain]

No, I just knew that if I gave it no forewarning it was going to happen no matter what.

[LinkandKvel]

OH MY GOD don't respond just get off their topic and talk about YOU AND YOUR PROJECT....if it looks/sounds like CMT who the fuck cares? Drop it. If they don't like tell them don't play it simple as that. conflicts only start because of your responses 2 one another. Ignore them and soon they will stop and if not let them waste their time by doing something your ignoring. They keep posting smart remarks because they KNOW your gonna say something back and that is why this doesnt happen to other members....dont respond and they will stop.

Personally the mod looks pretty fun to me...I rather play this instead of CMT's shit because I get crappy ass FPS in all their newest stuff and hopefully this will be more flexible. (No disrespect CMT)

[SnaFuBAR]

Dude, why don't you relax? If you open your topic with something ridiculous like that, do you expect not to get any flack for it at all? Try to be friendly and more professional instead of OMG U GUYZ R JERKZ SO IF U B MEEN I R LAWK IT :mad:

Seriously, you'll be more well received. I myself took it as another one of the hissy-fits that you're infamous for.

[Huero]

are you kidding? he started his rant in the opening post.:eyesroll:
It came off as more of a warning not to personally attack him to me

Either way, Link, it was actually very fun :D
the splazer makes for some annoying but hilarious situations!

[FRain]

Damn you CAD and your splazer whoreyness.

Although that is quite the best bug ever.
A bug caused me to place the Spartan Laser at the blue base (the base CAD and CV were at) by accident, instead of replacing the rawket, so they basically whored the sniper, splaser, and the rocket the whole game.

[Amit]

It matters not that his modding goals are extremely similar to CMT. It's not like he's gonna have the entire Custom Mapping Team helping him. It will be quite different than CMT. What's wrong with him being able to do something the way he wants to do it?

CMT has amazing people and content but sometimes people would think something like, "Hey I love CMT but I wish that this was different." or "I like the idea of this but I'd like to see it like look like this."

I'm just dumbfounded that you people will turn him away from just trying to do things the way he feels that they should be done. You people act like his models, skins, etc. would be the same as CMT's. With enough time put in from him and people who help him, the mod could have the same amount of content and ideas but play completely differently. How? Because not everybody's brain has the same thoughts as the members of CMT.

If I wanted to model a Halo 3 Assault Rifle would you want me to do it? Probably not since there are so many variants already. Could you try to stop me? Yeah. Do you have the right to try to stop me and potentially insult my work? Hell No.

*If I spent enough time polishing it it would look pretty much the same as anyone else's MA5C but the point isn't that it's useless to the community, it's that everyone should be able to at least try to do something without being shot down because somebody with the same ideas has started their project years before the other person has.*

I'm quite surprised at most of the people that posted in this thread. I don't like the way he started the thread either but that's no reason to ridicule him. The amount of posts just trying to stop him from doing something he wants to do is ridiculous. If so many people started jumping into a thread and giving the poster such a hard time I'm sure they'd be pissed too. To stop all production of my current work because I could do something more useful with my time or because I want to do something similar? It all comes back to the mod being different. That's all there is to it. It's different. It's always gonna be a different experience.



Also, what happened to that green bar of rep you earned?

What the fuck is this?

Also, everything Choking Victim said.

[Heathen]

WOOOO, who gives a fuck? If you were trying to talk and they kept saying "Hurr, what did you mean by that?!?!?!?!" You would get pretty pissed. Fuck who or what it looks like. When you are both taking influence from the same series, shit is bound to seem alike...who cares?


Bullshit stops here?
_______________________




Cool.



Incidentally, looks great to me.

[Sel]

This topic is turning into tl;dr

[Amit]

As Heathen said, it should stop here. Flaming Rain has already stopped replying to new posts and is trying to keep his thread of track. If anyone interrupts his thread again I should think they should receive an infraction.

[FRain]

Sorry, I've been trying to get a testmap ingame that me and a few other people are gonna use for a new weapon that we're not gonna talk about >_>.

[rossmum]

Rain, I actually think the warning kind of provokes it, because it shows people they'll get a rise. Just post your work, a description, and leave it at that. See how it goes.

OT - nice to see I'm not the only one who misses the reciprocating AR bolt anims from the beta.

[Amit]

One thing that kinda bothers me is the sound of the AR. Why does it sound so...enclosed and dull?

[FRain]

Update!



Alpha concept of new HUD. Made by Huerosam, our concept artist.

http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7061/hudconceptue0.png

[Amit]

Looks decent but it definitely needs some work. Of course it's only in Alpha phase so here's where the fun and arguments begin.

Pretty much everything needs to be a lot clearer. It's more noticeable with the outside edges of the center of the visor. Shield bar needs shaping up, it looks sorta fat. The bottom part of the visor could use a bit more translucency if those colours are supposed to represent what they should roughly look like ingame. Of course, it's too early to tell how translucent/transparent they'll be ingame.

[Ifafudafi]

Outer visor needs to be more transparent, ammo counters confuse me (labels plx) and shield/health meters could be more subtle, although that's more a matter of taste.

Looks good otherwise, disregarding the more obvious problems.

[FRain]

The filled ammo counter is a bar that will deplete slowly as you fire more rounds, and the one directly to the right is a number of how many rounds you have left in your current magazine. The one on the top is # of rounds in reserve.

E: The filled one is also how many rounds you have left in mag except a much easier glance.

[Huero]

The outer visor is definitely going to be more transparent, if it was that opaque in game it would be incredibly annoying. I plan to move the visor lines more toward the center, if not just the upper one. The gaps will also be repositioned.
Not sure what you guys mean on the health and shield bars; subtle? What? <_<
I'll work on thinning out the bar, but do you mean horizontally or vertically?
Oh, and I'm going to completely redo the Ammo Counters. Thanks for the crit guys : D

[ICEE]

the visor's shape is sort of unappealing to me. Also I don't much care for ammo meter concept. I like the grenade icon section though, im assuming that the bottom one would be a secondary fire "grenade"

[LinkandKvel]

Okay ima say it now before someone else does.....It's starting to look TOO much like CMT now, especially the ammo counter.

[Huero]

not really
that's basically saying any hud that looks kind of like H3's looks too much like CMTs

I havent seen the CMT HUD in uh
months
I honestly have no idea what it looks like

EDIT: And Ironclad, you're right

[Con]

I am not liking the meters being so boxy compared to the visor's curves.

[Pooky]

Okay ima say it now before someone else does.....It's starting to look TOO much like CMT now, especially the ammo counter.

I didn't think so.

I have to agree with basically everything that's been said about the HUD, and I'd also like to add that I think the visor outline is completely unnecessary. For that matter, the shape doesn't look anything like the chief's actual visor. Seems like it would make more sense to have shallow curves near the top and bottom, with some faint lines going through the middle if you're doing H2/3 style. Unless the visor is ridiculously narrow, you're not going to be able to see that much of the outline.

[Huero]

You know pooky, you have a point. I'll discuss with rain whether or not the visor is necessary.

[Masterz1337]

If you're really going to use that HUD, make sure the right panel stays within the visor shape. I do like the visor shape as well.

But as otehr have said, the HUD does look way to much like the CMT one.

EDit: The lines are to thick as well.

[ICEE]

I don't really like the concept of a numberless meter for the ammo, especially if there is a number right next to it that serves the same purpose. Now, if your doing it for the shape of artistic appeal you could make the shape of the meter the same shape as the gun's magazine (given that i have no idea if that will work or not).

[jngrow]

The visor shape reminds me of a fat person, or Pom-Pom (http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/2/23/pompom.PNG/220px-pompom.PNG). Matter of taste though. But yeah, the lines are too thick, and the meters are too boxy compared to the visor outline.

[Masterz1337]

I th eonly one who thinks an ammo meter around a reticle would be an interesting concept?

[Disaster]

I th eonly one who thinks an ammo meter around a reticle would be an interesting concept?
Heh, That would be pretty cool.

[SnaFuBAR]

I th eonly one who thinks an ammo meter around a reticle would be an interesting concept?
we did that with evo :spin:

[Amit]

I th eonly one who thinks an ammo meter around a reticle would be an interesting concept?

I've played a few games with that style of counter and to be honest, it was hard to see how many little ticks representing the rounds I've fired in the heat of battle. One game that I know that is disadvantaged by this is Star Wars Battlefront 2. Half the time I couldn't see shit of what was inside the reticule because the rounds I were firing off were in the middle of the crosshair.

[FRain]

I don't really like the concept of a numberless meter for the ammo, especially if there is a number right next to it that serves the same purpose. Now, if your doing it for the shape of artistic appeal you could make the shape of the meter the same shape as the gun's magazine (given that i have no idea if that will work or not).

I don't see why it wouldnt work.
Most likely, though we are going to scrap the visor outline.

[DarkHalo003]

Ha, this looks awesome. I can't wait till it's released. BTW, those AR anims are awesome.


Heh, That would be pretty cool.
I think Crackdown uses that feature, correct me if I'm wrong.

[Huero]

Visor is MORE THAN LIKELY gone; if not it looks almost exactly like the H3 one with a small change. The shape of the shield + health bar stays. The ammo meter wasn't numberless; the little box next to it wasn't just for show. I've played games with ammo meters in the middle, and it felt a bit too cluttered, not to mention that sometimes the meter was covering up your target. I also noticed that the lines are too thick.

[Pooky]

we did that with evo :spin:

valve did that for HL2 :rightround:

[FRain]

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4937/hudconcept2yp4.png

oshi new concept hud by huero :iwannabecooltoo:

1 - The visor, was made just for fun, unless you can get it REALLY transparent, we're not gonna add it in.

2 - I've already talked to Huero about scaling up the grenades and making the ammo counter less "thick"

[Sel]

The visor is still horrible, but I would be lying if I said I did not like the ammo indicators, health etc etc.

Tbh if it were my decision, I would drop the visor all together, but if you don't want to, try to come up with a more pleasing shape, and don't make the bottom so damn huge. Lower the bottom.

If the lower half of the visor was dropped down lower it would look alot better. Now it looks alot like a H3 hud ripoff, than a cmt one at least.

Edit: the grenade panel is ugly as hell.

[Con]

I wouldn't have boxes around the grenades. Instead, have a grenade icon and a number next to them (faded when zero).

[Huero]

fuck rain you werent supposed to post that
Grenade counter is the result of my being zoomed in too much and not being about to scale the diagonal lines with the rest; it'll look more like the one the first concept but with thinner lines
visor isnt going to be in, it was already discussed

[Bastinka]

You can get it transparent, make it a plane in the FP model.

[Masterz1337]

It's possible to do the visor right pretty easily. If you guys have a vision fo rhte HUD, go for it. Don't let everyone crit opinions change what you want to do.

[Huero]

http://img387.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hudconcept3gi9.png

Uh yeah; I tried out what Con suggested, but I don't really like it. Wondering on your opinions. I don't like the ammo bar either... We may just go to the normal bullet display.

[Bastinka]

Why not take a screenshot from Halo 3 and trace the HUD in a new layer(s).

[supersniper]

Well technically that's not ripping...

But isn't the HUD in Halo 3 curved a little giving it a somewhat 3D effect, but in Halo CE everything is 2D?

[jngrow]

I like the grenade icons.

[ICEE]

visor looks much better. I think it would look a lot better if the lower half was brought down a bit, or maybe even cut out of the picture altogether since i doubt that you would really see it looking through the actual helmet. much better nonetheless

[Masterz1337]

That conept is way to heavy on the right hand side.

[Ki11a_FTW]

i cant stand visors in the hud, they distract me so much

alright

because I don't want halo 3's HUD

EDIT: oh cool veex, that looks nice :D
oh wait it looks really close to what cmt has
nope

Before you say something about this bump (old bump is old), I've got news from the Something Team.
This is Something Team's forums. http://somethingt.freeforums.org/ It's going to be where the source of all updates/discussions regarding the Something Team is to be posted. If you have any questions/feedback/suggestions, please post there and give us your opinions. Thanks and I hope to see you guys there!

[FRain]

I also will post major updates here, but most of the small updates like a new weapon animation set or something will be posted there. I just like being a little more organized than throwing everything in a single topic.

MAJOR FAILURE UPDATE

My computer is currently infected with approximately 40 viruses. 1 trojan, 7 malware, 17 spyware. The computer is being spammed with popups (about 25 an hour) and is counting, or so said by Spybot, Search and Destroy! I may have to reformat again and may be out of contact or updates for a while.

OSHI EXTERNAL INVASION.

Texture looks nice, post some ingame (eg. Not Sapien) shots of it when you get a chance. Either that or up the res on it, because it looks really low res and ew.

"Hey look, another CMT" was already dealed with in this thread. Do not bring it up again.

I tagged, animated and modeled everything that is custom. You're probably going to realize CAD's AR model, Doan's skin (made for somethingteam though) but the rest is by me or people made it FOR me.

[JunkfoodMan]

The texture looks nice, but you should work on a Spec/Multipurpose map, right now the specular shows no detail/is too clean.

[FRain]

This is a shader_environment and has no multipurpose map. No specular, I don't know how to apply it, but if someone can help me with it, it'd be great!

DAMMIT

While setting up the start reformat this morning I cleared the wrong partition by accident (I don't know how both of those partitions switched spots from last reformat)
So, I'm pretty sure everything I've had that should've been backed up has been lost, and I'm royally screwed now. I'm probably going to have to remake the tagset over again, so I'm screwed now.

Comments.

E: 1,111th post.

[SnaFuBAR]

That's why you don't rely on a partition to use as backup, you use more hdd's or burnable media :awesome:

gg

also, spell "damnit" right

[Amit]

Wait...so it's mostly all gone? That is epic fail. How many freakin partitions do you have that you screw up the lettering?

Yeah, that's what I use for the most part. I think I copied my entire original HCE tagset onto it for reference purposes if my new tags need to be the older versions. It's always good to have a backup.

[FRain]

Well, I lost a few tags that I for some reason could not extract from the map, but I got most of the tags out of it. I had to redo the ground bitmap and everything is well. I lost all of my MAX files, but I'll recover fine. I was banned for about a week (was interesting...... yet stupid) and I got some stuff done, and it feels good to not lurk around the forums with that fucking white Modacity theme shit all over the place.

I'll probably resume normal work in about a week, but I've got some real life things to do in the next week or so, so I won't be able to put in as much time as I used to but realize that this project isn't dead.

I'll get some pics of the new floor tile when I get home from school, because I need to get ready for school, I'm leaving in 15 minutes.

Its interesting but the force is really disproportionate. The most evident example is when he flicks the cover closed. There is waaay to much power in flicking a tiny little piece of metal. it must weigh about as much as 3 or 4 quarters, so why would moving it make the heavy flamethrower react so much? Also, the weapon comes down to quickly. I would recommend having him visibly grab the handle as it comes down a bit slower, and then make the weapon sink below the origin a little bit and come back up. This is 90% effective (if done right) at making the weapon look heavier. I'm not positive, but it looks like hes screwing/twisting the tank into place after he gets it into position? I like that little touch, but you could take steps to make it more evident. The entire thing moves strangely when he pulls out the old tank. I haven't really got a suggestion on how it should move, but i would recommend messing with it a bit until it looks more natural. You might consider making him press the button with a different finger. The index finger "poke" looks a bit clumsy. I would probably make him use the thumb. Overall, I do like the animation's timing and flow though. Keep working on it. + rep.

This IS a crit thread however.

[DarkHalo003]

Never mind my previous post. It's no longer valid. I agree with ICEE though about the last part involving the handle/meter/button area. Something about it seems wrong, like it may need a bit more time. Keep in mind, even though you're a spartan super soldier, you're reloading a pretty huge weapon and holding it with one hand.

EDIT!!!!!!: Don't use your finger to close the little lid part of the button area, use your thumb! That's what looks unnatural to me.

New AR skin by Invader Veex, our new skinner. Thank you a bunch Veex. Any criticism on what needs to be fixed? Also, since this picture the skin has been made less brighter, and higher contrast, which apparently looks good.

Opinion, crit, comments, all welcome. No shitposting like ^

[Hotrod]

I find it a little too bright for my taste, and if the picture has made it darker, as you say, then it could really use a bit of darkening.

[FRain]

Nonono, the skin has been darkened since I took that picture.

[ICEE]

Why not post the new one?

[Hotrod]

Oh, I misunderstood what you wrote. I thought you said that the picture made it seem darker. My bad. A picture of the current version would be nice though.

I actually think this version is decent. The upper half (lighter areas) are pretty much correct. Just make the darker parts a little darker, areas like the fore grip and lower receiver.

[Con]

I agree with Freelancer, darken those areas but keep the upper part the same. It looks good sorta metallic like that.

Alright guys, so I haven't been working on this mod for almost a month, but I do want to get it started up again, and I will be holding a public beta test later on this week (probably Tuesday, because I have no school) because I've completely forgot what needs fixing, what needs redoing, etc. This beta is open to respectable members of the community, who I know do not leak and have tested before. This is a very early build of the mod, but I want to work on it, but since I haven't worked on it, I don't know where to start up again. If you want to do a quick test to remind me what to fix, then just say so. This is not a release test like I did my H3T builds.

By public test, I mean that you say your name and I give YOU a build, and we play a game of it, I get crit, feedback, so I can fix that.

I'll have a play. I beta'd some H3MT maps around a year ago.

Yeah I'm up for that too. :)

Has it really been a year? I can't remember, you might be talking about H3T maps, dunno. All I remember is we tested the first textured Narrows on the 4th of July. But if 3/4 months ago was that teaser/better textured Narrows, and the month before we July, I think I'm going to have to say last 4th of July was the first actual test. That untextured one doesn't count.
So, I'm here if you need me for a test.

[LinkandKvel]

^This

[ODX]

So, ICEE got fatal error :(
Well, that was fun. Down to the criticism or whatever:

I really like the AR, it's perfect for CE, even when my ping was >200, I could still hit almost every shot. The SMG is also a worthy opponent to the AR, as the AR will win at longer ranges, and the SMG will win at closer ranges. The pistol, as we all already complained, is overpowered. I think it's fine that you use CAD's animations, but it just doesn't fit well with the fast paced gameplay that the weapons offer. Maybe speed it up a bit or do something to fit it in. Also, the BR, um...other than that the reload need work, and when it's almost empty, a second HUD that shows bullets left is HUGE, it seems like a somewhat good gun. However, the only thing I think you've nailed so far is how the AR is the best all-around weapon, but I think the ammo max should be lowered, and your best animated gun, is the SMG. Thanks for letting me beta FRain.[/endofsuperlongparagraphaboutfourweapons]

[LinkandKvel]

The AR was definitely the best out of the weapons. BR seems perfect damage wise, but the HUD for it needs fixing. I thought the pistol was pretty decent. Also ran VERY well on my shitty PC 256 RAM with everything maximize and got minimum FPS lag, but when I turned down some settings, it ran almost perfectly smooth.

this gets an A from me.

[ICEE]

I thought the AR and SMG and BR were well balanced. To be honest though, wtf where you thinking with the pistol? it fires so ridiculously fast :S. the animations are getting better, but you still need to improve you frame gun movements. Also i hope you animated the BR with a different rig or something, because people dont generally float the gun 3 inches above there hands. Getting better, and it was definitely fun to play. RIIIGHT up until my crash, but dont worry that happens no matter what I play. I'll beta for you again anytime

Since I missed the beta I'll play this with some friends next time we LAN. I'll record if you want.
FRain already has a 500MB, 2 1/5 Minute long video.
Edit: I'm just saying, he'll probably be too lazy to edit in your clips.

I'll still play it with friends though. It looks like fun.

I'll still play it with friends though. It looks like fun.Nothing stopping you from doing that, heck I want to join in...if you let me. You heard what ICEE said.

[Inferno]

Would bit when I host games on my router it blocks all incoming connections cause my router is horribly anti-social. I mean seriously, I turned on fucking DMZ and it still blocks people from joining my server.

Fuck Linksys.


edit-

Also I'm a 1.00 crack whore.

[Apoc4lypse]

btw... make it so when your carrying the flag/ball you run slower.

Never realized how serious of a flaw that was in the first halo lmao. I played on danger canyon and I was running the whole time behind this dude just far enough away that I couldn't do anything to stop him from scoring.

Not that much slower jus enough so theres a difference...

E: o yea.. fuck linksys, worst fuken router for gaming ever. I can't host games, and I can't even play some of my games...

[Inferno]

Yeah linksys blows. I swear I port forwarded every fucking program on my computer but it still blocks them. It's like it doesn't fucking work.

[ODX]

I think I had one, and I could host easily, but now I have some Netgear adapter and I can't host. I don't think it's the reason though, it's my brother's PC sappin' my dispenser internet.

Starting HUD work. Colors are going to be redone. Thanks to ilvdrftng/Bubbles.

FYI: I know the grenade number is on the wrong side for plazzy, I'm fixing that right now.

Set the HUD scale to .75. It will look alot better.

[KiLLa]

I dunno if it's your vid card or not..but the huds icons seem a bit pixalated, and choppy...
and the gradient on the shield meter isn't so smooth, you can see where certain pixels are further back than others...
I know I'm just nit pickin, but if your gonna do it, do it right...right?

[FRain]

Set the HUD scale to .75. It will look alot better.

Make it smaller?

[Masterz1337]

No, change the scale in guerilla. It will righten it up and make it more crisp and sharp.

[FRain]

Oh, here's a vid I made while I was bant. Nothing interesting, new pistol anims and HUD since then.

Yes, I just embedded in HQ, what now Youtube?

[LinkandKvel]

wtf? betray at 15 secs :(

[KiLLa]

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?

[Huero]
