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

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
You can get it transparent, make it a plane in the FP model.
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 everyonecritopinions change what you want to do.

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.
Why not take a screenshot from Halo 3 and trace the HUD in a new layer(s).
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?
I like the grenade icons.
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
That conept is way to heavy on the right hand side.
i cant stand visors in the hud, they distract me so much
how about a nade hud like Conscars suggested, but like this?Quote:

Because I didnt get to test D=
You can't always get what you want...
We'll test when you get back, doany.
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.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!
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.
E:
Before I forget, we are also looking for a UVW unwrapper and another modeler.

Looks much nicer with less uber shiny bumpage. Created in about an hour by me.
Also, I used sapien to take this pic (print screen ftw) and it may be a bit squashed.
Crit.
I'd hit that.
Theres no hole to fit it in D=Quote:

ATM I'm using my shitty little laptop.
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.
It's 1024, but it's in a smaller sapien screen, so I'll get ingame pics later.
I like the anims. Can't rep you right now sry.
"SomethingTeam's idea is to get a taste of h1, h2, h3, expanded universe, and custom in."

hey look another CMT...
nice try though...
All in all the video made everything look pretty good, you said your the only person who worked on it? Including models skins and all? If thats the case then well done.
"Hey look, another CMT" was already dealed with in this thread. Do not bring it up again.Quote:

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!
If it's a render of a skin going into halo (which doesn't have AA), what's the point of having AA in the render? >_>Quote:

Wait you cant have both? My god then they said the internet was serious buisness, that really meant it.
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.
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
Wait...so it's mostly all gone? That is epic fail. How many freakin partitions do you have that you screw up the lettering?
2.
Anyways I'll ask doan for a beta later because I don't think I protected it anyways.
Don't use partitions cuz apparently you don't know how to...Quote:

Haha, I remember those. We had to use them for a Windows 2000 (1998) computer. I still remember the white framed monitor and boxy design. The good old days....or you could just get a 4gb flashdrive and save the stuff onto that.
or you could back it up to a secondary internal, then an external hdd, then put it on a server, then on a flash drive and then on a laptop.
i will NEVER lose my info again.
EVER.
lulz I think snaf learned his lesson early on in life, or hes a little paranoid now...Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
o sup update gayz ( yes you are gay mirite k bai )
click for full res
E: is it just me or are shot tags borked right now?
No. You just put tags around the wrong link.Quote:

You should show a pic with better lighting.
Yeah, now that you think about it I should. I'll show you some more pics later after I reanimate a few weapons that just need to be reanimated, fast.
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.
Too snappy. Your animations never look human.

I'm amazed how people are acting more retarded than Frain here. never thought I would end up finding his posts the most intelligent and well thought out in a thread.
Ouch masterz
All work and no play I guess.
This IS a crit thread however.
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.
rarely do we ever see such a thing happenQuote:

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 ^
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.
Nonono, the skin has been darkened since I took that picture.
Why not post the new one?
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 only have a render of what should should be newer, I don't know FRain's new settings, but this is mine.
new (I blurred the back a little so it didn't seem as grainy)

old (in that pic)
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7315/cadarmb8.jpg
I like the old one better. Don't see why people always seem to need things excessively dark.
The new one looks lower res around the back area.
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.Quote:

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. :)
I'll help if you want me to. I've been handed beta maps from a several sources and haven't leaked one map at all. I take beta testing as serious business. Not the kind of person to leak anyways....
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.Quote:

Yeah, H3T.
E: Yeah, it's been about 4 months over a year since we started H3T.
Damn, it's been a long time.
