Yoyorast Island V2 : not done yet / help need again !

[yoyorast]

Hey everyone. As you may already know the Yoyorast Island project isn't going as smooth as everybody planned it to be. I personally spent the last 2 weeks on fixing everysingle UVW issues on the model (I learned how to do this at last and it has been a real nightmare), + I added even more strips and textures.. so the model is now looking very nice.. e3po reworked and bumped these textures in game.. and speaking bout positive things, my custom 5 seats hog has finally been fixed by ShadowSpartan and is working like a charm..

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/1241/doc7dy1.jpg
you can't imagine the how many uvw problems there was on the cliff (rock) texture.. a true nightmare to fix! (dont look at other textures than cliff, this is a special model not reflecting the actual textures) .

I mean, we made some good progress overall but we are hitting some brick walls. We are having trouble with portaling the map and getting all of the music's working the way they should.
Because the project is going so slow, we have decided we are in desperate need for a few more workers that know what they're doing. We still need shields fixed; music's working correctly, better portaling, lighting, and a few other minor things. I have included the areas that need shields in the below download pack. You will find them in the "Shields" Folder. What we need you to do is to try and create the best shield that will fit in the doors. When a button is pressed, the shields will activate causing the model to show and the collision to activate. After a sleep in the script, the shields will then turn off, no collision etc. This is essential for the game play on Yoyorast v2. The first person to email a working version to yolevy@free.fr will have their name put in the map. Please hurry guys We're counting on YOU! When emailing, please include your data folder as well as the tags folder, and the max file. Thank you!

here is the link to the shields to fix : http://ts.wmclan.net:73/Shields.zip

and here is a vid by e3po showing how the shields should work (taken from an older build) : http://ts.wmclan.net:73/vidplay/?vid=vids/shields.mp4

Thanks guys, wish luck to everyone and luck to yoyoV2 ;)

[Limited]

Like always, keep up the great work yoyo, I'm seeing some really promising developments, I'm pleased the model is finished (please dont change it any more :):)) Sadly I dont have much time to do personal projects, plus I'm a bit rusty with Halo, wish I could have helped, sorry.

:)

[ultama121]

Oh. Now this is nice. Hope to see it soon. I'll most definitely play it.

[yoyorast]

Thanks Limited for your constant support through ages.. ;)
O and if only I could edit the tilte of the thread.. "help needed" .. sorry for the error.. Ghost if you're seeing this... lol

[blind]

I wish I wasn't completely illiterate with this kinda stuff Yoyo, or I'd help.
haha. Model looks good so far though :)

[sevlag]

so it isn't dead after all.

I honestly wish I could help but I'm not that good at collision editing, I know one or two people who MAY be able to do the shield thing, I can ask them and see if they can do it, I can't I'm horrible with collision detection and the like

let's hope for an early 09 release, perferably in the spring or late winter

Nope, not dead, just progressing really slow. If you could check into seeing about those people being able to help out, that would be great. Just send a PM to me or Yoyo. As for the 09 release, he was hoping it would be released this year, but I doubt it's going to happen.

i thought after the E3po thing that v2 was dead. but yeah, anyways the two problems with my friends is this:

*one is in India for awhile, he went overseas to get a new laptop but he is still there, so my day is his night (I run off EST)...

*the other one I had a falling out with recently because one of the kids he plays w/ on XBL is egotistic and calls people a noob even if they get a legit kill on them and he has nothing better to do than insult everyone on his team. what I'm getting at is that egotistic kid affects my friend in the way that he also becomes stuck up and arrogant, but he can still provide advice or help if I talk to him via Xfire....damn it, the little dick removed me...

he used to work with XMT, one of his maps got mislabled as a machinima map, the counter one. his author name is his xfire so reach him that way...

but yeah and the first friend is helping me with "project gamma". his xfire is "spart117masterchief", dudes a little hyper but a good person to work with on maps and such

but yeah can't wait to see it done and I said 09 because of the porduction's speed and such....


GOD that was a long post, I'm sorry for rambling here mr. yoyorast and other modacity users, a bad habit of mine.

anyways, have a nice day ^.^

[Inferno]

If no one else wants to do this I'll do it.

Post now if anyone else is doing it. I'll try and do it this weekend or after exams.

[Ki11a_FTW]

I might

[Inferno]

Can I get a definite answer? Cause no point in 2 people doing the same thing.

[ShadowSpartan]

Wanksta, nobody else has shown any interest in doing it besides Killa. It would be great if both of you could try working on it, that way hopefully one of you will get it working. Thanks for helping out.

Edit: Give us some time to respond.

[Inferno]

I've already made this exact same kind of thing for one the Infernal Map Pack maps. Only difference was the size and the shaders. Basically all I have to do is re-do the model and what not.

Also if I do this do you guys need me to script the biped crush or is that already taken care of?\


edit-
Lol didn't see that edit till after I hit post.

Well, we have some biped crushing scripts already, but as Yoyo said, the whole thing is broken so go ahead and do them. If you can get a test map together that has a working switch and shields, I'll send you a build of the map if Yoyo is alright with it.

[Inferno]

Alright I'll go ahead and start working on it. I'm kind of grounded though so I may only be able to get on a little while over the next few days. But this won't take long to put together I don't think.

[ShadowSpartan]

Ok, sounds good. If you need anything just hit me up on aim or pm me. Thanks.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Great Job so far Yoyo, Will it take advantage of Open Sauce at all?

[ShadowSpartan]

No it won't.

[Inferno]

This won't sync online it will have to be rewritten for that.


(script continuous "panic doors control"
(if ( = (device_get_position panic_control) 1 )
(begin (object_create_anew panic_door) (device_set_power panic_door 1) (device_set_position panic_door 1)
(sleep_until ( = (device_get_position panic_control) 0 ) ) )
(begin (device_set_power panic_door 0) (device_set_position panic_door 0) (sleep 10) (object_destroy panic_door) )
)
)


(script startup "panic control online"
(device_set_power panic_control 1)
)And here is video. (http://www.xfire.com/video/4ffc9/)

The fade out can be fixed by adding more (sleep) on line 5.

Tell me if I need to add anything else.

[KiLLa]

umm...I'm not to clear on what your trying to accomplish, but I can tell just by looking at that script, it's not gonna sync...
I don't see anything envloving a vehicle crushing a biped...

[AAA]

test that map with 1 or 2 other people to make sure it syncs online before you post the video, because it's one of those necessities...

[Inferno]

I know there going to have to re-write the script for the yoyorast island scenario anyways. Why would I set up a biped crush on a scenario that's just to show that the shield door works.

[Ki11a_FTW]

well i guess they can make the script themselves.

[yoyorast]

U guys are sure it wont sync as it is? Cause we used to test it with 3 players and it seemed to work fine (before it got corupted) anyway, these scripts are from CAD.. He could comment maybe.. But if you think it can work better wanksta or killa, dont hesitate to rewrite... Just to remind u guys how it is supposed to work.. The doors are open (no shield) in default postion, you press "e" on the panel and this makes appear the shield that prevent to let you pass or fire... You press "e" again and the shield disapear (so you're free to pass again...) If the shield is activated and you do nothing, it goes off by itself 1 minute after... Good luck guys... If you want we'll go ingame tomorow ( im not at home right now) and i'll show you the other non working shields that need to be fixed... ( not sure if 3po put them all in the linked file or only the panic room ones).

Edit: o and so good to have you taking care of that.. Thks so much, really.

[KiLLa]

I know there going to have to re-write the script for the yoyorast island scenario anyways. Why would I set up a biped crush on a scenario that's just to show that the shield door works.

uh to test if it works fully outside of yoyo...
I've written a simular script for the elevator in hypo...I know how to make things like this work..
To me, the most logical way to test, and write sucha script would be if you have the tag files needed to fully test it in action..
It's pointless to make a basic on/off script really, most people with basic scripting knowledge can pull that off, and it doesn't really serve the purpose yoyo needs...

[Inferno]

I can write a syncing shield door script. Ive done it before and I will write a syncing script for them if they send me a scenario to do it on.

I just did that simple little on/off script to show that the door worked and to show that it had the fade in/fade out and the collision on/collision off functions.

[Ki11a_FTW]

you dont even need scripts for a non-syncing door

[Inferno]

I always script doors. I don't mess with power groups usually. Habit I guess.

[KiLLa]

Well I still don't see the point...
Or any proof you ARE capable..
If you've done it, why didn't you just show the one you've already made?
I'm really not seeing the point of that video...

Your making me wana dig into the HEK again..
I wouldn't mind doing some minor scripting work, and we all know(well not all you still green behind the ears XD) I'm more than capable...
Who would I contact for the "broken" scenario to work with?

[Inferno]

Why would I lie about that???? If I could not do it I would not be trying to help.

Also here is the script for a shield door on IMP_highground. It's a shield door that is similar to the gate on highground for Halo 3. It can only be deactivated once per round.


(script startup h3s
(object_set_collideable sdoor 0)
)


(script startup "create newb"
(object_create newb)
(object_create bonecrusher)
)


(script continuous "host sync sdoor"
(if (= (device_get_position sdoor_control) 1 )
(begin
(object_teleport bonecrusher rape_newb)
(sleep 200)
)
)
)


(script continuous "client sync sdoor"
(if ( = (unit_get_health newb) 0 )
(object_destroy sdoor)
)
)Syncs online. Been tested with the door closed before client join and then being opened and also door being opened before client joined. Its set up so that the warthog continually falls down on the bipeds so if someone joins late it kills the biped and turns of the door for them instead of leaving it up for people who join after the door has been opened.

edit-
And also to prove I'm not a noob at scripting. Project THOR source.

so why didn't you just apply the same basic concepts behind you shield door, and expand it to what would suit yoyo's needs?
I'm not saying you can't script, nor am I testing your abilities..I'm just not fimular with your work, and didn't quiet understand why you didn't just make a full on working/syncing shield door for the video demo..
You have to understand, last time I was around the "scene" scripting was fairly new to the masses, and only a select few fully grasped the whole concept, and there were maybe like 3 or more maps with working, syncing switches, hypo being one of them..

It might have just been me... but the switches in Hypothermia never worked for me...

[KiLLa]

well they've worked for me since I created them, maybe you should try expanding on how they "don't work for you" ?

[Inferno]

BUMP!

*snip snip snip*

Playing on a crappy connection on my shitty router while running sapien and 3ds underneath halo. So yeah a little glitchy laggy recording but shows that it syncs just fine.

[n00b1n8R]

So their on a time delay too? There needs to be like 5 seconds where you can't turn the shields back on after they go off, to give people a chance to get in there if somebody is just hiding.

Looks good. :)

[Sever]

Show what happens to a biped when it stands in the doorway durning activation, and on the energy shield during deactivation, with both host and client.

Also, "Press _ to toggle energy shields" or something along those lines would be better.

[Cortexian]

And don't post videos of the beta. If you're going to do that, then send it only to Yoyorast or those that are helping him with the map.

Please remove that video.

[.Wolf™]

Make a cooldown for the Shields so you cant just rush and put it on again after it goes down..Not that anyone would want to spend a entire game there..:PBut just if...

Edit:Nvm..

[n00b1n8R]

What's wrong with it freelancer?

It's not exactly showing us anything we didn't already know about, and since when was YoyoV2 a top secret project? :S

Are we going to leak a beta from a video or something?

Well it's Yoyorast's map, always let him decide what gets posted and what not. I always made a habit of asking him for permission before posting something. A courtesy thing you know.

Other than that, I'm interested to see this thing in a real game before having an opinion on it. Looks cool though.

Yoyorast hasn't been online much lately because of the holidays. I have asked Inferno to take down the link because of it showing beta content that I believe Yoyo doesn't want shown. And I agree with Freelancer, only show it to people working on the map. Oh well, it doesn't show much, so no real harm done.

Shadow told me to take it down yesterday but modacity was being attacked again so I couldn't. Just removed it though.
