Thanks a bunch man.

Can you gimme the link to the standard version? I wonder how waffles is doing.

i fixed those tags, and updated that post btw. even ranted about it for a little bit. got some help fixing it, those links above are the fixed versions.

the one on halomaps is before i fixed the tags unfortunately, just use my mediafire links.

and what ive been doing....

I hope the standard ODST is going to be made,if at all.

i just havent gotten around to it just yet. but if you realllllly want to use the odst, delete the shader model tags, and make your own. just make sure you use the old names so you dont have to worry about references.

and as to the scenery, i dont have very good collision for the crates. some angles bullets, and even bipeds can go through the geometry.... and you cant stand ontop of them without bouncing like crazy or getting trapped! i honestly dont know what is wrong with the collision. looks absolutely fine in 3ds max, and when i debug in sapien...

What is this debugging you speak of (i'm serious.)

Is it like playtesting a map in sapien? :o

That's good I'll DL those now. Make sure to submit and updated version to Halomaps.org though, as I browse the file archive way more than I do the forums. Thanks.

Even if you take over a biped, sapien doesn't recognize your input. Even if you import your ingame profile into sapien, it doesn't recognize the input keys.

Wait, you can play-test in sapien?

it was once part of sapien, but the required things seem to of been removed. Hit the top button that looks like a camcorder (third from the left hand side, second from right.. beside the stickman) click a biped. Press shift+v. Have fun *shrug*. Shift+Q to leave the body, theres third person options aswell, etc. If you get into the control config, everything is shown as ???, even when you load the stuff from your profile (you should be able to use profile_load <ingame profile> with OS_Sapien to load your controls, but they dont work.)

a few others,
debug_objects:
Enabling this command will give visual representations of the game objects or models bounding radii and collision models.

debug_portals:
Enabling this command will draw or outline the portal definitions in the game.

debug_sound:
Enabling this command will give visual representations of the sounds being played and their audible radii along with labels indicating the specific sound being played to the player.

error_suppress_all:
The suppression of error messages is by default on, disabling the error suppression (setting the value to 0) will show errors being encountered by the game and is useful in debugging content and game problems.

they are just from the hek.

edit: knew nothing about the stuff kirby just mentioned about the biped.

ah he's talking about os_sapien, the stuff i posted is only normal sapien.

Do I make them with just Guerilla or do I have to use 3ds Max?

I think Your tank flood form tags from halo 3 are brilliant Waffles,And i Think it would fit in in halo

.....I know you were showing off the scenery-vehicle trick for physics but I'm more interested in the fact that it looks exactly like you're playing halo 2

dem shaders

Only differance on that matter between OS and normal sapien, is the loading the profile. That command doesn't work in regular sapien, it was re-enabled in OS sapien (since you couldn't assign keys; of course, that's because sapien doesn't realize there is input, so it doesnt matter anyways)

guerilla, go to file, new, then choose shader model, then save with the same name as the old ones. and just fill out the base map, multi and detail. no cubemaps since its all specular based.

and collision models are making me sad :( the warthog wont even use the updated collision model i made, no errors or anything. yet only the originals tires and bumper are collide-able... seems like whenver i add anything else to the collision it just wont collide ingame, like its choosing not to use the newer collision... -_- reminds me of the stupid bitmap warning "bitmap different size than expected" replacing your new bitmap with the old one, even if it doesnt exist...

anyway. im basically finished with a h2 monitor biped, pretty legit :D. all lights and effects the same as h2's, made my own h2 styled idle, working h2 sounds, and i added collision info for a plasma shield that doesnt deplete (Y U NO DIE MONITOR?!). pics in a bit, errr maybe a fancy video. dunno yet, want?

Post it if you feel like it then. Either way it doesn't matter to us how you show it.

Behold

wait a sec did i miss something... where'd you get that biped

the shaders need definate work, personally i would make the visor blue or a steel gray because the red doesn't look too good

Not jelly at all. The biped looks like jelly though.

it also looks VERY unoptimized, as if it was right from reach. the rig seems to be ok...ish. otherwise it just looks it'd be lag in a bottle

I say it look pretty good. Except the textures.

Oh yeah.... And why in Waffles thread...? \:|

To show off? That's why I'm guessing,based on his troll face and those pics.

you guys are slow -_-

i gave him my (still) early build of the biped. its all my work, rig is still better than the 30 ive seen. only difference is its non-OS, deleted the shader extensions and let him have it, most of the original OS shader was all specular based so its not gunna be shiny (i told you guys im not gunna waste time making fakebumped shaders...), visor has its own color change... end of story.

do the shaders make that much of a difference? :o you guys react as if it was a crappy crap port some other guy did -_-

and i told starscream he could post in my thread if he wanted, why would i care?

he's precious :3
--------------------------------------

and btw i fixed the crates collision issues, it was the bounding sphere... it was like off to the left... alone... works perfectly now. still dont know why my warthog's collision will not update. i guess tool is ignoring me on this one :(

tool is also giving me false errors on my animation graphs... 1 animation, from scratch, and tool seems to think my graph index's are wrong? ive looked and im still looking for the error, and cant find it :(

and the two monitor variants



each with its own colored shields and lights, i want to get the stupid talking loop overlay working again... but everything is done.

edited the backwash monitors texture for the gold and black. (original texture seemed too much like the blue monitor.... ya know without the red color swap for the light detail... :/)

Hmmm? You mean the 30 other peoples right? Surely you don't mean mine

That smiley made me Lulz.

I don't care if the visors if red. I love the biped ^_^


Also HE'S MY WAFFLES >:) Back OFF >:o

But sir, what if he did? What are you going to do? :o

He gonna gather the other Spartans to kill him.

Don't gather the other 30.

Do you usually do this in public places?
I'm just curious what your... status, is.

Make all the monitor colors please.

001/Yellow/Green
007/Blue-Teal/Pink
049/Orange-Red
343/White
2401/Pink/Blue-Teal
16807/Green/Yellow
117649/Purple

343 is white? I always thought it was blue.. o.O

Let's just say that 343's light is blue,not white.

And you got those colours from where?
Most forerunner stuff is just white with blue lights, 2401 was an exception because he was rampant...
