rain!?!?!?

[soccerbummer1104]

my team hs looked through the sky files and cant ine one with rain in it. does any1 care to point us in the right direction, or or some reason did they leave that small detail out...

[et_cg]

They have left us with no real set of tags. If you and your team have verified by now, they also have kept us from creating new ones.

AKA: Map Creator.

Tools provided with Halo 2 are no longer an Editing Kit.

[Lightning]

They are still, actually, just locked like the original HEK.

[et_cg]

For an average map creator, Lightning, one without good friends or whatnot. All they need to hear is it's not possible right now.

That's what I tell myself, I have no friends. lol, I do, but not ones that make those tools that everyone splooges over.

[-£§- §age]

Hmmm....I'm feeling hackalicious...If only I had Vista and H2V...
So, they're not allowing you to make new tags...and there's not a lot to choose from? Gayness on a bun, right there. Leave it to M$ to screw up the good stuff. Should've left custom versions to Gearbox.

If you havn't noticed, M$ is EXTREMELY sensitive about modding H2 in ANY way. I'm surprised they have the ability to make maps at all. I mean, they even say you shouldn't use Xbox H2 modded content...On split screen. Fuck, screw that, I mod and play with friends all the time. Eat it, M$. Does that mean you go on Live and fuck people in the ass by cheating? No. You simply enjoy yourself and have fun. My friends had fun with nukes and flying hogs. But does M$ recognize that most people just want to enjoy a different flavor of the game? No.

The weather system is still in the editing kit if thats what your wanting to know. Its been redesigned though (wouldn't be to hard to learn though afaict)

[Oxygen]

this is good news. we were mainly wondering if it would be possible at all to locate any weather tags or if it would ever be possible to create our own.
btw, GO KORNMAN00! mucho love!!!

Whats the hs stand for in your team?

[the1]

i think its just if common sense serves me right
my team hs looked through the sky files
my team hAs looked through the sky files

[soccerbummer1104]

sry, hs was just a typo -> has
ty, hopefully pretty soon we can get a custom sky ingame :) itd be sweet with some of our maps. Also, if some 1 who knows the entire process, or knows essentially how to bake lightmaps, could contact me on aim. In h2v, when u portal a map, it applies a light to each portal, and completely fucks the lightmaps, so we need to create custom ones.

[Lightning]

No, you don't.

Just run it at a higher quality, that's just the effects of running a "fast" one.

[soccerbummer1104]

i was happening all the way through draft high. so what do i need to run it on? high? super?, or will medium do? (this is just beta tests) but we would be truly be great full if some 1 could pm me the tools for doing the baked lightmaps, and a brief description on how to do it, or at least point me in the right direction of where to find out how to do so.

[paladin]

My bad for being, way to skip over the obvious me.

Don't be sad Pokemon trainer Paladin! I don't think hs is their team name.

And soccerbummer1104, so far people on the forum have posted what they did in Halo 1, so far I haven't seen anyone figure a method out for Halo 2.

If you ask me, just run it in between medium and high, only takes about 8 minutes for a map that has about 700 polys with a space coverage of a couple football fields. The map wasn't much, but still shouldn't take long.

[Oxygen]

well...too bad the map is 30k+ and the size is quite huge/complex. anyways, it worked after being run on medium. looks pretty dang good too, if you ask me.

what i've been trying to figure out is lighting. there's little to no scenery lights and i'm also experimenting with the shaders a bit. hopefully i can get something soon...but right now i'm sticking with the "scenery" bsp stuff. are there any tuts on lighting yet?

btw, paladin was talking about the fact of it being "his" team. it'll be understood later.

[Lightning]

I'll get some example radiosity shaders uploaded soon here.

[StankBacon]

so has anyone gotten rain to work?

[Syuusuke]

The Korn's Guerilla doesn't have the Rain?

Why is it that always SOMEONE has to BUMP a thread somewhere between 1-3 months from the last post date?

Listen, I have seen you bump over 3 threads right now, and you continue to do that, your going to have a unpleasant time here (aka banning)

Bumping we take serious here. Dont bump repeatably, this is bad.

...

[StankBacon]

1st of all, LOL.

2nd of all, bumping is allowed/encouraged if your bump is relevant to the topic.

would you rather have multiple threads on the same topic?

3rd, LOL.

[Syuusuke]

4th LOL

One of the 3 threads he bumped was his originally (note: original account = him) What was the other one (besides this)?
Besides, I will give this bacon dude an unpleasant time if I have to *whips out saucer*

Also, the semi-but-not-really unlocked HEK doesn't have rain? That sucks.

It's an on-topic and acceptable bump, hush.

We could probably put rain in if we had some tags, but we can't extract them atm.

[paladin]

Its rained here for 48 hours, you can have ours.

[Lightning]

Heh, I never did upload those shaders, did I?

I don't have HEK2 installed, so I would need to find them again, if anyone wants them.

What a terrible attempt at Moderating. Until your name goes green, shut the fuck up.
