I like that. Gives it a removed, yet interesting feel. Of course, CE and trees has never been a good combination. :P But the fog is good.
All I can think of is the reverse of Snowgrove: the big icefall in the control room "plaza" turning into a pretty waterfall. :D
So it would br Grove_Final style? Ossim.
And how would that blend with B40 and C40? Major doubts that it'd go well.
A swampy theme, similar to Guilty Spark? That could suggest that it's close to the library (which would make sense from a design point of view) and also have some fun affects on game play (reduced viewing distance for example).
Quagmire style ftw!
Sorry, but the vast majority of that model looks like it was made out of cardboard--and i reckon thats because you took the original model and 'added' detail instead of redoing it. Some parts are interesting--i like the chestpiece and the back to a degree, but random shapes of detail never constitutes something good.Quote:

For example, you have what appear to be card-holders on the sides of his thighs, and a random rectangular shape that looks to be a belt clip or something on his back, that somehow supports the undoubtedly heavy equipment round his abdomen.
Also, remove those little horns on the back of the boots, those would be hell to run in, and show some wireframes. I want to see your triangle flow/distribution, and your tri-count. viewport screenshot with edges visible is the preferred method of showing this.
Other than that--i'm loving the wraith and the elites. and as always, i'm hating the whacko color scheme of the effects. I like the trees and the sky, but those have been around since 06 or 07, and i like the new ground textures.
Let's see those new weapons ingame, hm?
Me, I'd like to see a rocky badlands type environment with ancient style stone forerunner structures
Oh god, not that shitty H2 style forerunner crap. What the hell was bungie thinking. :|
What was wrong with it :/
I kinda liked that rocky forerunner shit a little bit
It was different, but kinda coo
It was totally at odds with the halo 1 stuff and a fair bit of the H2 stuff.
I problem I have with an idea of making AOTCR a sort of forest\jungle is that the engine isn't really made for vegitation. Sure you have detail objects, but I'm talking about ferns, bushes, tall grass, trees trees oh and some more trees. A forest\jungle is variety. You won't see the same shaped tree over and over again due to the climate factors such as wind and sun light. This iteration of the engine doesn't allow for much permutation room as the 2nd and 3rd have.
Think about what the control room is. Its deep in the bowels of the actual rind structure, so theres going to mountainess scenery. It's the control room of the ring's purpose, the harse environment I think does well for protection. We of course don't know if the climate controls had actually malfunctioned (as Cortana suggested IIRC) during out trip in that level, which caused the snow to build up. But maybe since the flood had been released, it was Halo's environmental defenses since no matter your bio status, colder temperatures will slow down organisms development and speed.
But imagine how the flood's presence can affect a forzen mountain range assuming it can live fairly still? We already know the flood basically absorbs into the environment and the life around it.
I agree with Kornman. Unless CMT modeled different segments of trees into the BSP, the map would be laggy as crazy. As much as I want to have Damnation converted into a Jungle map, it wouldn't really look incredible on CE. However, if you make it similar to Delta Halo, then I'm sure it would work some how. That would actually be pretty interesting, especially if you have some beams of light poking inside of the structure when you go indoors, showing that the structure has had some decay. Of course, that would require some BSP editing on the original structure, but then again you're pretty much doing that already. If it's Delta Halo-like jungle scene, then I say go for it.
keep the detail in the ok range, if you make it as detailed as some of the CE maps, which basically push the engine to it's limit. the maps should be detailed, but not to the point where most machines that run CE are unable to play the map because of the insane amount of detail...
also, what is the 343GS level lookin like? I hope it looks really dark and creepy, give me a reason to crap my pants again like I almost did when I first fought the flood way back when ^.^
I think they should just leave 343 GS alone. It was perfect enough. They'll probably just texture the inside with amazing textures then walk away. I remember hearing CMT saying they were going to not add BSPs to 343 GS. I could be wrong though.Quote:

I'm also liking this idea of making b40/c40 like Delta Halo, though I'm not sure if it'd be better to have the Halo 1 style of Forerunner buildings or Halo 2's style.

Sorry for my crappy Paint skills, but there are some issues with an otherwise decent MC Model.
First off, you don't know why I put the things on the helmet in the first place. :V
Secondly, the belt stays. Nades are still being thought about though.
Thirdly, I'll fix the hands. Thanks.
Fourthly, yeah, I know about the boots. I'm trying to think of something to do with them.
Have some of you just not noticed that he has the same belt setup in the first Halo?
At first I thought that complainging about the belt was stupid, but now that I think of it, we really don't need it, and I think he'll look alot better without it.
D40 and A10_new have been sucessfully merged.
For those that haven't been following the project, we've been using child scenarios for our new segments, allowing us to set upa basic template of the new areas, so that the scenery and trigger volumes all match and don't have to be redone. Merging scenarios has always been a tricky thing, and for those of you who have looked at Bungie scenarios, they are full of duplicate referances and extranious data which isn't needed, which fills up palletes and inflates tagsize and slots. The new D40 should be finished within the week now, making 4/8 levels recieving new bsp treatments fully playable..
I like the belt imo. Not that that matters.
But if there were a poll, I'd say keep it.
Why change something essential to the armor in Halo 1.
GREAT! So that means the mod is even closer to completion(duh). Are you simply going to extend the canyons of a50/d20?Quote:

There are no real pros here onthe forum, but there are those who belive they are on the path to becomming one. Hope this clears up any confiusion to you and other readers :).

And what pros would that be? the only pro here is tweek, and all his work is undeniably cool even if it isn't practical. And really--pros are pros because they're doing it RIGHT, so if you want to encourage your artists to be 'different' than the pros, well, good for you.Quote:

If simply working in the industry marks you as a pro then I talked to pros on a daily basis, more goes into being a pro than simply modelling and texturing.Quote:

So does ANYBODY know what 'pros' hes talking about, because i really have no idea. Meh, whatever, masters didn't even model it.
Well I must be doing something right, otherwise we'd be just like one of those other million projects that never get far beyond the planning stages. The mindset that we should all be acting like professional artists and game designers is obviously not the way to go.Quote:

It's OK to cut corners, it's OK to streach beliveability to ensure progress, it's OK to have something that isn't the best it can be, because there are other things more important to be done, or because you've lost interest in that particular section of your project.
No one here is ever expecting perfect art, and if they are I feel sorry for them. Modding and Halo CE in particular are about having fun, and trying new things. If people are here, because they want recognition for their skills and art they have come to the wrong place. This game has always been about expirmentation and fun. If someone was serious about getting recognition for their work, they would move to an engine that lets them expand their art skills.
There was a time long ago, when mods and maps were impressive by the gameplay they provided. Not by how artistic they were, or how well designed the models were, or if the creator used proper techniques. It was durring this time when people actually made strides foward, rather than backtracking through their own work, redoing it until it was socially acceptable. No, this wasn't ignoring crit, or being ignorant, it was about self satisfaction and using their progress as stepping stones to new things.
If you think this is just some excuse I haven't thoguht through, look at the emphasis the community puts on models. Take a look at Hunter, whos's models have improved greatly since he got here. How long has he been working on his modeling and why? Was it his intention to just become a modeler, or was it his intention to have fun getting his own weapons ingame? I bet you if you asked him why he got into modeling, it wasn't because he wanted to become known for his modeling skills, it was because he wanted to be able to explore posibilities with this game.
People seem to get confused when they look at us. No doubt we have done some things that are visually stunning (as stated by senior and younger members of this community), but with the exception of Dano (who is an exception on his own), none of us have ever been that concerned about how artisticly correct our models or textures are. Yes you all seem to say our stuff looks good, but I'm sure if you looked at our content you would be able to fill 2 pages with all the flaws we have. At the end of the day, we don't care, it doesn't matter. We're all still learning and expirmenting, and that on it's own has gotten us recognition outside of these forums. I don't think anyone on the team other than Dano actually expects to be able to show their work and be able to have it be "picture perfect" so to speak. Take a look at our elites, With their oversized feet youall comaplained about, or the fact that they are 7k pollies, or our brutes with mis proportioned chest plates, or our carbine with a streached UV, the SMG with the incorrect Picani (SP?) rail, or our particle effects (which have been aplauded by everyone but you) which are far from realistic or natural. Yes we wish we did some things a bit differently, Dano included, but we are overal pleased with 95% of our content.
We're all having fun and are proud of our work, and as far as I'm concerned, that is the secret to our sucess, and that is what has held this team together and maintained friendships that have never faltered in the 4 years I have known my team members. So regardless if you or other members respect or disagree with our take on our work ethic, this is the way we work, and that's not going to be chainging anytime soon.
This needs to be forced down the throat and chanted daily to every Halo CE modder out there. Well, it's probably a little late in the game by now, but yeah.Quote:

"At least it got finished" is a very underappreciated statement in this little community (not in response to anything in particular). I know it sounds mediocre, or even pathetic, but what's better-new content for a game you love, or a pretty picture that never does anything, and only destroys dreams?
lololololol if you took the "destroys dreams" phrase srsly.
It's a matter of personal preference. I have seldom released any of my projects, because they didn't meet my own standards. They might've met a lot of peoples', but they didn't meet mine and that's what matters to me. I am not happy with something until it's as close to perfect as possible, and so I do everything in my power to make it so. You guys are obviously more concerned with actually getting the content out quickly. Given that you are indeed just a mod team doing this for fun, there's no real harm in that, but if you were planning to make a job of it then that's a bad habit to get into (although it seems to be the done thing these days - what happened to quality testing?). I do plan on making a job of this at some point, and in any case I couldn't live with myself if something I released was anything less than dead-on.
Bottom line, both of you shut up please :|
Hey man, don't worry about me, i'm not going to publicly respond to the above. I was just trying to point out what you just said, so you did my duty for me.
Go ahead and give me the warning for that, it's worth it.
I'd like to point out that Bungie took exactly that approach with Halo 3- everyone admits it could have been a whole lot better, but Bungie chose not to pull a DNF and actually released their game within some reasonable time span.
Perfection is nice and you should always strive for it, but face reality: it's not gonna happen, and you have to set priorities. Oftentimes you're better off leaving something be even though you know there's still more you can do to make it better, just because if you keep working on it people will have lost interest by the time you do finish.
*thinks about this for a moment*
Brb, I've got a forum system to hack out and publicize.
And 2 single player levels to finish. :cop:
You did raise the question, so maybe people deserve to hear your responce?Quote:

i know you had to get that off your chest for the upteenth time, but really. Let's not talk about my projects, please. It's my choice to privately develop and not worry about releasing--so i can focus on getting something good. And its called a picatinny rail. Yes, yes, you want to be different, but you totally missed the memo that if you want to be different, you should do it right. Yes, yes, you're still learning and experimenting, and so is everybody else. And yes, nobody else in your team has been as picky as dano when it comes to the art, and as far as i can tell--dano's work is some of the best in the mod as most of the released screenshots revolve around his skinning and teh lags modelling, both of which i know are concerned to a degree with accuracy. Blah blah, its about experimentation and fun, so lets throw in a lot of unbalanced guns with explosions and remake some halo 2 and 3 weapons, and hey, lets take the hunter cannon and make it a weapon even though we have the FRG. Masters, all i'm saying is that you say you've done new things, but you really haven't. i have never seen one new custom weapon other than a halo 2 or 3 remake. I have seen new custom vehicles--but vehicles that were soon removed. You had new brutes, but thats still halo 2.
It's been i don't know how many years since you released spv1, and all the delays etc are becoming more of a duke nukem forever kinda thing. Delays, constantly changing plans on the "finished state", redos of content. I actually tried helping you guys out to organize your work so you could know what direction to go into, but somewhere that got lost. That was a bad idea. If you want to release like you said, you need planning. If you're saying "so what, at least we released", yes, you released--but what you've released has been so little and sparse compared to what you've surely planned in the past to be constant installments of maps etc over time, that you can't really say anything about my private projects, ESPECIALLY since i usually work on them by myself with almost no outside help compared to your team of 4 years or so.
And you have to realize that this is not a mod community anymore. We're not altering gameplay in radical new ways anymore. We are an art community, because we value content. That is, until kornman finishes what he's doing.
And no, your particle effects have not been applauded by everybody but me, and you know you pulled that one out of your arse.
Edit: Zeph, I think you made a mistake when -repping this post, you were suppose to give me an infraction for embarassing your friend, not -rep..
No, how about you don't. The constant pissing matches are getting annoying.
What i mean is just give it a darker feel, I didn't say anything about adding on in my post did I? NO, I asked a question and I understand you just put in what has been announced, I just feel that a darker atmosphere would enhance the "creepy factor" of 343GSQuote:

Your post is extremely true Masterz, and I fully support your views. Although I must admit, the encouragement I get from modelling is two things, well the two things can be split down:
1. To get it into Halo:CE with good amount of quality and now some custom parts on re-makes.
2. Get my name known to people.
This is mainly because in my social life for the past 6 years or so I have had the piss taken out of me... I wanted to be well known for once and "popular"/"respected". Although sometimes I am a prick. And a bit dumb :/
And another reason I make these Halo 3 re-makes is because I plan to one day make a full weapon and vehicle set, with textures (With help/none, if none I am going have to learn). And then re-make a Halo 3 map to the best I/We can with custom features on the weapons/vehicles.
In other words, make Halo 3 better in Halo:CE/ Halo 2 Vista if kornman is managing to unlock it... No one knows...
So that concludes Masterz's post to be correct.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ontopic, I would prefer that you make as many delays as you would like in this campaign project Masterz, because each delay means it is better. And with Dane's textures the content looks,feels and plays nice. And with your effects and particle systems. Your entire team are making the most epic mod. Remember that.
And I would love for you to use all of your content to make a custom campaign in the future. Halo themed though.
One more offtopic remark; Wave of Lag, personaly I don't have a problem with you and I actualy think you are sound, but lay of Masterz team. And what is happening with my AR? I PM'ed you but you having reply'ed. It textured yet?
Edit: I also feel honored that I got mentioned in your post and really appreciate that you say I have improved a lot, it really makes me happy when people say things like that Lol.
I agree with Hunter about the delays. The more that have happened, the better this project has gotten. If you'd released back in July like you'd promised, it would have been great. When you do release, which is looking like March apparently, it's gonna be amazing. Even though people bitch about the delays, the fact that you've kept the project your own is amazing. Good job CMT.
Jesus fucking Christ, can't a CMT thread exist without the drama? :fail:
So, any more secks pics?

I didn't see the message as critisim, I saw it as a flame. Anyway, I don't think we need to continue our little fight anymore, I think everyone see's things as they really are.
And as far as this topic being "ruined"
While for SPV2, we decided to cut the regional damage on vehicles, we have decided to include it on our wraiths. As you can see in the pic above, The wraith has taken enough damage to have destroyed the main hatch, as well as one of the side guns. Wraith tanks can now be disarmed of their side guns, allowing the player to get in close enough to stick them or kill the driver, after have finding a way to destroy the front hatch. The back plate, where the engine on the H3 tank would be, can also be destroyed, allowing the player to fire into the back of whichever gun the wraith sports, destroying it.
That wraith looks odd to me for some reason. Is it recent? Or is it just the lighting? Oh well. I love the lights on its wings and the definition of its shape. Good job.
I love regional damage.
You look odd to me. Its perfectly fine.Quote:

And it there anyway you can make the texture compile larger so there is more detail?
Other than that it looks awesome and awesome work on the region stuff ;)
Oh and I am onabout this render:

looks awesome and regional damage sounds awesome.

i think it might be the freckling detail in the diffuse map. it does look a bit off.
This. I'm a big fan of the colors found in Halo 2 in High Charity. Then again, you have stated that you want to be trying new things, so...Quote:

Everything in moderation. I think it's possible to use color wisely.

Even though while it may be hard to see from that angle, it looks like the MC's back might be blending into the back of his seat. You might want to move him forward just a little bit.
Other then that that has to be that best Wraith I've ever seen in that actual engine.
It's fine just the way it is.Quote:

I'm starting to see a pattern here... The diffuse map (or did you stick on a detail map?) is way too grungy and cluttered; it makes it look like someone took a massive purple shit and wiped it all over the thing.
Just my opinion.
Doesn't a multi-purpose map say where things are shiny or reflect a cubemap?
If so then imo it would look better if the rest of the wraith was made to shine more and then you add the overlay of hexagons and make the not shine as much. If you get what I mean, then that should give you that effect...
looks nice, can't wait to see this finished, got a a few pics of new areas maybe? or a new teaser trailer?
Doubt it.
Maybe a leak?

I can see the hexagons but in the render they are not very shiny whilst the rest of the texture is. I was saying that it would look better if it was like the render. Where the hexagons are not very shiny.
The wraith is staying as it is. It looks great ingame.

Too lazy to look if this was already asked, how did you get those pictures so AA'd?

Btw, I'm going give him the NXE today, but I didn't tell him about having no live till the 19'th...is that too cruel?
But I digress,
to get back on topic, any updates?
for such big maps those speeds look promising IMO.
would still like to see some sort of screens from the added parts if possible, just to get a taste of what is in store for players (I watched that trailer, but it went by too fast).
anyways hopin this thing shows up on the day its supposed to be released
150-350 megs x10, at about 50 KB/sec (average speed I get on a cable connection, and this is on my crappy computer) would be about half a day, faster if I can do simultaneous downloads. (horray for DownThemAll!)
I might have to clear some space on my games drive :v:
damn. Who would of thunk that cmt would go from a halo 2 conversion team to a team that makes content that completly murders the shit out of halo 3. Bungie, the doorbells ringing...guess who's at the door!
if ur too dumb to get the joke, the answer is cmt
Anyway, that wraith looks great. Allthough, with the hatch blown off, it almost looks too clean. Like it was cut off with a precision laser rather then plasma or bullets. Maybe it should be alittle more jagged and rough.
