The use of Open Sauce is actually one of the things I'm looking forward to the most. I'm not sure why people are so afraid of it.
I'm still having trouble believing that this thread is real. This is probably the most ideal team you could have for CE. I'll admit that I had trouble concentrating on reading the original post the first time through because I was so overcome with excitement.

Sinow :D

Oh and I'm looking forward to spamming plasma weps to see ifafudafi's effects :D

Well, in the next release of Open Sauce Kornman said there was going to be an installing program with it. Which is going to save all the people who are new to Open Sauce a lot of stress.

Mostly fear of the unknown, or people just being ignorant and only considering how the project was in the past (sans an installer, which is a painful thing for end users who just want to play) instead of keeping up with how far we've come. With CMT, we're able to actually get competent people to not only test our systems before a major release, but to also show average users some of the things that OS makes possible (remember, CMT is only using some of the parts of OS which don't break the map's ability to be ran in a non-OS game, this is only the tip of the iceberg).

Remember to hide porn through your beta maps so dennis has to take them off the website if they get leaked!

yaY FOR PROPER CMT! HURRAH HOO!

Make a map like CMT Snow Grove, but better. Like, fixing the Icefall sou can't get ghosts up there and camp.

^Excellent idea.

im very excited by this!!
(the return of cmt and collaboration between old and new skilled members, not the porn)

Alright, I pirated, I repent! Now what, off to buy Halo CE when/if this gets released?

How do you imagine SPV3?

Actually what's nice about OS is that our maps can't be leaked. We compile now for testing in a special format where it requires the most recent build of OS to play, or the game doesn't detect the maps. Of course when it comes time to release we will remove the backward compatibility restrictions but I could post a map right now and none of you would be able to play it.

Unless we compiled the most recent version of OS ourselves?

Because you understand the workings of Open Sauce?
Anyway, can't wait! I have some questions... (I always do, but i'm sure you can answer THESE...)

1. Do we get our dogfight over the Cartographer back?
2. AA-wraith?
3. Better Cortana model?
4. B40/C40 jungle theme, or is it the boring snow one?

This should be all...

Cmt spv3... This is a joke right ?

I can't wait for this, I'm so gonna run this with OS, SorrySoldOut's texmod, and Enb Series, it'll be godly

Animation update thread is up, sorry it took so long:
http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/topic/311-odx-and-the-weapons-56k-warning/

I had to sort through some problems with .gifs and such and even now I'm not sure on using them even though they are very convenient. Try to use Firefox as it tends to work best through their browser.

And as the link clearly shows there is a 56k warning so be prepared for waiting as they all load. Each is just 320x240 so it shouldn't be that bad.

For anyone who's curious, in order to install the version of OS I was handed for testing, all I had to do was open the installer, click "Next" a few times, and I was good to go. The only problem was an issue with incorrect HEK installation (since OS draws some stuff out of HEK folders), but that won't matter for anyone not using the HEK in the first place.

It really is that easy to set up, and the payoff is far worth the negligible effort.

Also, for anyone who didn't catch it in the OP, I've got a thread over in the Halomods forum in which I'm detailing a lot of extra things about my effect work - you can check this (and the other team members' threads) for extra information and media:

http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/topic/300-ifafudafi-writes-about-his-mod-work/

Sounds awesome. I'll definitely(You may have noticed I usually say certainly. Is this the right spelling for definitely?) get this mod when it comes out.

Definitely is correct.

Hope you don't cancel it. I have been dissapointed in the past, and I will not again. * Raises warning fist *. I am glad you are just coming back! I have been waiting for something like this again. Also, got any ideas for Pistol, like a Laser Pointer? Somthin like this:

Sorry for the Duke Nukem Pistol, I can't find anything better :P

I hate laser pointers. They may be effective in real life but they're just a waste of space in a game. All they do is distract you from the scope.

They already had a lazer pointer:



I personally hope they bring it back. I kinda liked it.
Edited by Pepzee on Jul 27, 2011 at 03:47 PM

IMO lasers are only good for games that don't have actual aiming reticules.

Same here. That was one of the weapons I wanted most, and, as luck would have it, one of the only ones I couldn't find in the release.

<3

I still don't get it, Why not finish the thing you started earlier that you didn't finish, than starting something new?

cuz spv2 is all effed up :p

In a way this is finishing SPv2. If you had read the first post...
"A significant portion of SPv3 will be comprised of polished and completed versions of what we were working on with SPv2."

This is still more than just SPv2 though (hence the +1 to the number) because so much is being added. A main one would probably be the addition of OS, but other things include: weapons, HUD work, encounter planning, particles, etc etc. The list goes on.

Edit: Laggy sniped me while I was refining my post :[

Cmt AND Ifafudafi are back?

I am the happiest Goldkilla ever.

Nice, so this is what the suprise Masterz talked about on youtube.

Meh, I just hate the Blue Dots, they just annoy me. Plus, I want some of the UNSC Weaponry to have Lasers. Or else the can add a crowbar:

Or a candy cane. :/

We actually have no pistol right now, but lag and I were considering bringing back the h1 pistols.

Semi-automatic Snowgrove style, I hope?

I liked that pistol, it was classic but also had a new feel.

the one from cmt coagulation with the black skin was cool too.
