Delta Halo UI

[soloblast]

Okay. I don't know what has been happening lately, aside from the website revamp (an absence of several months will do that to you), and I know that this has been raised up before (possibly by me), but are people still working on the Delta Halo UI?

It's kind of like asking when Prometheus will be released, I know, but if possible, please answer. Thx.

[supersniper]

Please search next time. But to answer your question visit here: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=796
And look at the last couple of pages. Your answer will be there.

^That and also: This was from 13th of this month:
waiting for zteam to do the bsp textures, or dano and tweek :/

nobody looks like they'll take care of it tbh.
CMT has plenty of delta halo texures (and shaders) from our mp maps. Message me when you get online.

[soloblast]

Um. The search system is kind of screwing up for me, giving me a lot of error messages, but other than that, thanks anyway.

[Rook]

Didn't want to waste the space of a new thread... is this project even still alive and going to be released? Hell I saw the other thread i don't care if death island is in the background release this for the cummunity. :/

[SnaFuBAR]

I've sent the bsp to multiple groups who claimed interests, but nothing has happened.

Oh well. Don't count on a release.

[Rook]

Wow, pathetic to get people hyped up for nothing. I remember when they first announced working on it and after all this time come back to search old threads and this is one of the few that came, the one showcasing the project was apparently locked.

[SnaFuBAR]

Nobody was trying to get anyone "hyped up for nothing". Things fall through, BFD.

[Heathen]

They should could release the current version. Whatever it be. Even an unskinned delta map. I'd take it with no bsp :/

[Rook]

I understand your point, but you have to admit people were getting excited for it.

[SnaFuBAR]

Of course I understand. I was also excited to model the bsp I've wanted to since I played H2. I put a lot of hard work into that bsp. I know the others who worked on the UI worked hard as well.

[Con]

I've got the BSP, but there are other things I need to do for other people first. If anyone's a decent UVer, speak up and this can be done faster.

I'd really appreciate it.. =]
it's been what, a year or over that since we've first heard about this project.

[Masterz1337]

CMT has this all covered already guys. Relax.

[Sever]

Even though there's a very slim chance of me getting a straight answer, which format are you using it in: SP, MP or UI?

[Rook]

CMT has this all covered already guys. Relax.
Good to hear.

Don't want to jump to conclusions so you are confirming it will be released?

[supersniper]

No they are releasing a modified Delta Halo UI to go along with their SPv2... Sort of like the CMT UI v2.

[Masterz1337]

It will bee released well before SPV2.

[beele]

Can't wait for this. I've been looking forward for this UI for so long.

[SnaFuBAR]

cmt's isn't the same UI you guys are asking for...

[Limited]

Damnit, :P the one that Jcap and some other guys were making, thats the one I want.

[Corndogman]

It looks exactly the same i think, but theyve added some special CMT stuff to it too. maybe the one they release before SPv2 will be the original one.

[Heathen]

I'm confused...so I dont care anymore.

[Masterz1337]

Let me clairify.
We are finishing one of the Delta UI bsps.
It is not going to have any CMT features or extras, nor is it going to have anything to do with CMT.

CMT SPV2 uses a modified delta halo pause menu. Our mod has no relation to the actual UI.

[Hotrod]

Right, now that we have that all cleared up, what exactly is going on with the Delta Halo UI? Is it still being worked on, or is it scrapped?

Has it been decided what music is going into that UI? If I hear the default Halo music I'll vomit D:

I can't speak for timo and jcap about the UI matters, but something is coming of the BSP I made.

[NullZero]

How about the music that Timo was playing in the video showing a preview of Delta Halo UI (or something)?

[Masterz1337]

I belibe the plan is to still use tons of music.

[Timo]

It (currently) uses Halo 2 music, which could but probably won't change. No work on the interface has been done in like months, where as the BSP is currently being worked on as far as I know.

[StankBacon]

i really hope there is a variant that will have no music.

[Sever]

All that needs to be done is to make sure that the background music is tagged as actual music, rather than just audio, and you can go to 'settings' and turn off in-game music. Yoyorast Island employs the same thing - when you have music turned off, Swan Lake does not play while you are in the Upper Sniper Tower.

[Timo]

It's tagged as music, I have it turned off so I can jam to my own tunes :-p

[DaneO'Roo]

I've sent the bsp to multiple groups who claimed interests, but nothing has happened.

Oh well. Don't count on a release.

Didn't send it to me:/

Seriously, I am sick and fucking tired of seeing no one do anything to this bsp, so I will do it. Send me whatever textures you wanted in it, and I'll add some more if needed. I'll uv map and texture the entire thing, ok. Seriously, I will have it done.

I would almost believe that if it wasn't for the rickroll map

[SnaFuBAR]

i sent him the bsp this afternoon.

Awesome.

[Rook]

Heh getting somewhere I see.

[Apoc4lypse]

Heh getting somewhere I see.

don't flatter yourself... XD

but yeah... dano do you have textures for this?

I volunteered to just uv w/e I could using ripped textures originally when me and snaf started talking, he doesn't care just as long as it gets done tbh, and I don't think anyone else does. I'm pretty sure you can snag textures off of some of the remade halo2 maps easily right?

Unless you'd rather make all the forerunner ruins textures?


I guess thats up to you and snaf though now.

Also... think we can talk over aim? My aim should be listed in my profile, because, chances are your uv'ing a bsp that still has errors... if you started already XD

[AAA]

I only have one easy request to make of this UI.

Randomize and loop the music. PLEASE. CMT UI bugged the shit out of me because it started off with one song over and over again. (No offence, it's an awesome UI)

EDIT: Will there be any consideration over Halo 3 music or Mothergoat's?

Could I get a picture of how it looks to this day? Doesn't have to be new, just need to remember...

You would think it'd be purple, but dear god.

It's fucking hot. I can't remember the last time I couldn't wait for this... All my hope goes into Dano for this and anyone else who may be working on the last bits.

Is what mine currently looks like

[Rook]

Betcha cant give me 5 good reasons of why NOT to release it just like it is there in that picture.

[DrunkenSamus]

That's kinda orgasmic...*splurge*

[t3h m00kz]

I'd fully appreciate that UI as is, custom BPS or not tbh.

[Boba]

Weren't you guys going to add Delta Halo and a remade Space sky for a quick release a while back? :-3

[Heathen]

I'd take it as is. Furshur.

[jcap]

That was an idea - to just replace Installation 04 (Alpha Halo) with Delta Halo - but no one wanted to make a new quality space sky and ring.

[Heathen]

Wouldn't making an entirely new sky and ring be easier?

[jcap]

It would, but that wasn't what we originally set out to accomplish on this project. We had our sights set on a final product, and really, we don't want to release anything until it is exactly how we first thought of it. I also refuse to let all the work Snaf put into recreating the entire Regret lake scene from scratch go unused and unrecognized.

[itszutak]

Hell, I'd take it without textures.

If there was a way you could make it wireframe, that'd be even better, to hide a lack of textures. Just as a suggestion.

Didn't one of Bungie's UIs for the halo 3 beta use a wireframe? I remember seeing one a while back and wondering why they didn't do that more.

JUST RELEASE THAT FFS

[t3h m00kz]

I vote for the release of that until the full version with the custom BPS is done. Then we can all download that one and nut our pants, because honestly the main Halo screen looks pretty sweet... just the UI itself is a bit boring

The Main Menu for the "Essentials" DVD was on a path of a wireframe (of sorts) of Valhalla.

And @ Muki....you lost me.
You like the main halo screen but the UI is boring? So you want the main halo screen without the present ui? :lol: kind of a step back if thats what you really meant.

[AAA]

...So let me get this straight.
- The UI with The Ring for a backround has a illuminating white theme to it.
While...
- The Delta Halo UI has an illuminating Blue Theme to it?...

EDIT: ^^^ My eyes aren't deceiving me in the color recognition, is it?

Either you made two different themes or Timo created a custom one to fit his liking...
Either way, they're good themes and that Halo Ring one shouldn't get left with no improvement on backround environment or else it would be nothing but a basic variant...

Nah I meant keep the Halo floating around in space in space but with the new menus.

[Heathen]

They have that in the stock UI :lol:

[Ki11a_FTW]

didnt some one make one with the remains of installation04 in the background, was it cad?

[supersniper]

Meh I say release Timo's and the normal one they both look bad ass.

[itszutak]

They have that in the stock UI :lol:
But not with the improved UI.:eyesroll:

[Heathen]

He said he didn't like the UI, just the bg.

[Rook]

It would, but that wasn't what we originally set out to accomplish on this project.

Eh, release that one as it is and then when the other one is finished we can fully recognize the lake scene. Please for us. :rolleyes:

[Apoc4lypse]

if you give me pictures I'll + rep you... if that means anything lol...

That could be a cool background for another variant to the UI (talking in terms of laterz on when the first ones finished).

I'm definitely hoping that snaf's model will become a map. I was working on fixing the errors so it could be used as a level bsp before dano went about skinning it.. actually I need to talk to snaf still not clear on weather or not dano is skinning an error free bsp XD I was away for a few days, so idk, I do have an error free version though. (Dano if your reading this IM me mb?) Using snaf to send bsp's back and fourth isn't the best idea; I want to send you the "error-free" version, in-case someone does decide to do a full multiplayer map build of it, that way it'll be textured without errors, so no one has to re-make UV's, no use in making extra work.

[Cortexian]

I've been waiting for this UI release since it was announced and the first images were shown... I concur with the vote to release the new menus on the original background, it'd be a great hold-over until the final release!

[Hotrod]

I also agree, the UI with the original backround is amazing. Though, if you wanted to make it a little different, you could just change the planet to be like the one in Halo 2, and it would be fine as well.
