The powerup orbs look incredible, but the battle rifle in the vid looks horrid to me. The skin looks really low res, but I suppose thats what happens when you take a texture from a new engine that doesn't require high res, and put it into an old engine with inferior shader capabilities.
The battle rifle is not the point. Please refrain from commenting on it.
those clouds in the middle are kinda just randomly appearing, instead of expanding and swirling from the center like they should.
That was his take on the effect in the video btw, in mine i made it dust instead of clouds.Quote:

I sincerely doubt the halo 3 tags will be open sourced. I believe peng was talking about open sourcing the bsp model and textures. But looking back through the thread I can't find where it was said, so maybe i'm imagining it.Quote:

Well, what I'm debating is why ripped content should be open-sourced and why it shouldn't to keep the ripped items "safe" (no other ways to explain it).Quote:

Please don't derail Peng's topic.
Yeah tool bags.
BSP may or may not be open sourced. If everything comes out the way I want to, then it will not be released. If it doesn't then most likely. Con has already stated the textures will be released. More progress tomorrow.
This was a test to see if I could get a 3rd person camera without an external program. It worked :). You can probably expect 3rd person turrets in the halo 3 version of the mod.
Warning: this image is not posted for critical analysis, just to show you what's in store. I'm aware of the flaws and already know how to fix them.
I'm actually not surprised it worked. I saw something for camera angle when I was checking out the tags for the spartans a few months back.
One question though. Why is there the arrow above the reticule like there would be in a warthog?

Edit: God damn it postimes.
I don't know how you think im doing this, but it's not what you're thinking. The method used is a dummy masterchief biped with a third person seat. The game doesn't allow you to enter/exit the biped pressing the 'E' key, so I scripted the game to load the player into the seat when he presses 'q'. When you press 'q' again, you'll exit the seat. The reason the warthog reticule is there is because it uses the warthog user interface.Quote:

very good.
It looks great, now...to find the BR spawn....
I don't have Halo 3, so I wouldn't exactly know.

Quite good.
Are you gonna do the words over by the popup target?
Once I'm done with the regular textures I'll make some text ones, anyone have the front though?
Now, we have popup targets obviously, but what about the Jackal targets?
What about the troophog outside of the fence.
As you can see I am very excited about this :D
Terrible thing is that we cant dual....throws off my strategy.
SMG/Mauler rapes.
I forgot...would OS make that possible?
I was hoping to get it exact, down to the last decal. And yes we have jackal ones too. We even have the camera that tracks player movement. Transport hogs and pelicans i believe will be ripped, just for the sake of saving time.
_0/ Ripping never hurt anyone.
It looks badass you flightless bird you.
Just yank the model of the troop hog from W4rtorn.Quote:

I never like that one. It always looked wonky and it hovered a bit off the ground.Quote:

It's looking very nice, hopefully it'll be played upon release.

Not a whole lot left to do really. Skybox model (hanger model), finish sword room, few textures, and scenery.
I assume once you got those grate thingies done, it was mostly textures?
But hey, Are you gonna model the little outside bases/put the pelicans out there? Cus dat wud be tite. And brute cut-outs.
Oh, and looks real good btw
Awesome model is awesome.
I think you should make something different than what there is in Halo 3.Quote:

Point of this is to be an exact map replica. I want the bsp to be as close as possible. It's a "because I can" sort of thing...or a pride booster :p. Pelican's will be there, transport hogs, mountains, flying birds. I'd like to have this done by christmas, but realistically we're lookin at February.
Have you put thought into another level? I'm just wondering because I would like to see how well you can do other levels. This looks great by the way. I'm impressed. The last picture makes it look like you extracted everything straight from Halo 3. Nice job!
Will it include the halo 3 weapons?
Yes. :eyesroll:Quote:

I hope you can get the airlifts to work decently online..
just use like a "step teleporter" that makes it looks like u get thrown into the air, then u end up reletively where you would in the air in halo3 and can "move" through the air still from the top. It shouldn't lag, but there'd be issues with multiple players possibly.. it'll also look a lil strange, but relatively no lag... i dont think i never really tried it before, just a thought i always had after I was fukin around in spark edit long long ago (hpc) and linked teleporters through the air, fun stuff.Quote:

Or ask jahrain how he did his cronopolis lifts, they were amazing, but they too lagged and were only in one of the betas. These are small lifts tho so that method could work with less problems.
ot: where the hell has jahrain been anyway... forgot about that dude, he like left completely... :confused2:
You wouldn't be able to be shot at if that were to be used. :downs:
Sometimes, it's better to make the map a little different, but with seamless gameplay, rather then use some laggy method to make it the same.
If we can't come up with a plan to pull them off using OS, then it'll probably just be teleporters. But its up to peng.Quote:

Jahrain used projectiles that did no damage iirc, but they lagged due to the sheer amount of them.
sword is horrible in CE, please DO NOT put the sword in
Heh... Peng > h3mt
Im curious about the sword too though. It's a fairly vital part of the pit's game play (sword camping ftw) so I hope zteam has something up their sleeves to make it work well. Without lunge, it could work just fine but with CE's crappy netcode it would be far from the real deal, and almost completely ineffective. A shotgun would work well in the same place, but that just wouldn't be as cool. I don't know, but whatever. I'm very interested in this project.
I think a few scores of posts back it was stated that the Flamethrower would be located in the Ops Center in the classic version.
Wow, those pics look really nice. Keep it up!
The flame thrower will most likely replace the sword in all versions.
Told ya so. Good design choice there, Pengy. Maybe if you could up it's range or make the flames sticky (much like H3's version), or some other augment to make it a tad bit more coveted.
I forgot to ask, what flamethrower do you mean by this? Will you use the Halo 3 one, with Third-Person as a support weapon, or do new animations for First-Person to still keep it in FP and keep the FOV(You see more in TP) the same?Quote:

Unfortunately since penguin is re-making the pit I have to hurry up and release my re-make of the pit before he does cause his is gonna be 10x better than mine.
Shit...
Uh.. what? He never said that it would be the Halo 3 flamethrower.Quote:

Will there also be a classic version?
Penguin has talked about this already, go back and look in the thread for the answer.Quote:

Comparing people doesn't make anybody feel good. It just builds egos and makes others less likely to create content. You think H3MT sucks, well then don't play the maps. :) Not like we care who does and doesn't. We're taking our sweet time to bring cool stuff to the community. Tearing people down is NOT going to help the CE community grow at all.
Way to be Mr sensitive. It was a joke. I never even said that h3mt sucks either.
If H3MT would release Narrows within the next year....lol....:XD:Quote:

I think you might want to make vehicles that are outside, actual vehicles that are undrivable and located on a death plane. Also I would be happy to make the sky, if someone could get me refs
Already got it covered.
:O ive missed alot. this looks nice something im probably looking forward to more than spv2.
You know, I wonder just how many servers will have The Pit as their map when it's released? I expect like 7, but I really wonder how much the mapping servers out there will change when this is released.
I want a The Pit (Classic)
Hopefully quite a lot will be running it. I can't wait to play this map, hurry and finish up the model so we can beta it Penguin!Quote:

There better be some awesome shader mr. :eng101:
What he said :eng101:
yeah whos doing shaders again :tinfoil:

wEll we wEnt through and diD a quIck tesT with some of zteamS tags. no sceneRy yet. aLl that was dOne was shaders, thanks to cHoking victim (and huge thanks to consCars for the textures :)). it played pretty well. here's a little peak:

Damn that looks nice, can't wait to get my hands on it.
Those aren't final lightmaps, just temporary ones.Quote:

Is the spiker actually useful in that map?
I've yet to see a useful Spiker in CE, excepting the Fragment RC3B one
I know that.
Secret messages are fun. :o
I wish you could lay the sniper up like it is on halo 3.
All you have to do is rotate the node thing in sapien, use a weapon tag as a ref to see how much to rotate the item collection.Quote:

A problem is, is how some textures just seem brighter than others, and dont blend well together. Also isnt the ground brighter pale stone than the dark green one, or is it the lightmaps?
specular pl0x
It hurts my eyes atm. :saddowns:
That's why it's an alpha. How can you guys expect people to post pciture of WIP if you complain about it >_>.
