Isn't that a mission from halo 3?

I think mine looks different.

But yes I did take a lot of inspiration and reference pictures from Sierra 117

Might want to make the fog a dark green to make it seem more swampish. And since CE has such choaking limitations I'd suggest you take advantage of the 2d grass/plant stuff seen in a30 and c10 for most of your foilage, kinda like what Pandemic did for Felucia in battrefront 2.

I plan too! What I showed is pretty much all I have at the moment ingame lol so I was kinda rushing the video footage. A lot to do still, even in that area.

And darker fog! Got it!

In TakeDown Project LAwson and Introduction, the Magnum isn't Z team. So expect the Z Team Magnum from H3 foundry to be included in Extermination.

can i request u use altheros's OS weapons, i've taken a liking to them recently and i'm hoping the OS version will use normal maps this time.

implying Altheros makes anything himself.
Just use Z-Team's stuff and change the damage values. They have a tendancy of watering down weapons, a lot

too bad OS doesn't have Color Correction, a lot of things could be made better with it. however, you can get away with something similar by making the water fog brownish-green and making the global fog green-blue rather than the dark blue-grey you have going on.

...you mean Althero's ugly shaders on otherwise good weapons.
I'm sure the original weapons will be an ample replacement, if any.

The GTA SA enb is capable of color correction and is compatible with CE.

don't know what's with the hate all of the sudden, i never meant the tags or any other data, zteam's values are quite accurate (though based on an unbalanced game) i merely meant i liked his shaders, and the way he made his weapon models appear in game (also the main reason is because i believe he normalmapped his unlike zteam).

The environment looks pretty interesting (although the upper cliffs and stuff need some work, ala background ambient stuff). The encounters also look pretty solid, with the exception of those hunters at the end ; the environment there didn't seem to suite them well for gameplay.

Make sure you won't be making linear encounters either, since you are using custom bsp it gives you many options, one being able to make very dynamic encounters.

however enb's color palette can do more then SweetFX, but the best is when u set up a proxy through enb to run both.

Yuh as I said in the video I added the hunters just so I had something to end on ;P

Should have shown more

Scarab Test 2: http://youtu.be/jvnUqCf693M

Let me explain what I have in mind. My first scarab test was an AI with a scarab gun. Whenever you pop out of cover it would blast at you, but this got incredibly repetitive in testing. Get out of cover, wait 5 seconds, move, wait 5 seconds, move, wait, ect.

The elite is a scarab. Just imagine that. He's not an elite, he's a scarab. The elite is just easier to work with in testing.

In this video I made the beam constant with cover along a wall. The player would have 2-3 objectives that would help bring the scarab beam to a halt. In this video my objective is to get to each end of the walls (It's just a test right now). But as the beam passes by, the scenery/protection in the front will get destroyed, so the player has to move fast and quick before all of his cover is gone. In this test the cover doesn't get destroyed.
I feel like this will work out better since the player has a feel of urgency and fast pacing in contrast to my first test.

Of course things like sound, effects, ect can all be worked on at a later date. And of course there is going to be a reason why the scarab beam is firing like that (No it wont be under construction). Gameplay concept thoughts?

I like your idea, maybe you could make the scarab change its position at a certain point of the battle, but that's just a suggestion.

Please tell me that you're going to use that song during the boss fight...

So for the UUI I guess this will be the image spot for TD:E unless I hack up something better before the update comes out.



default halo1 poses ftw

All I hear is "scarab" and I am getting more and more excited about this!

It looks like they're getting intimate with one another. Maybe have one of them reloading so that the pose looks better?

He's gonna exterminate some virginity.

And no OS ftw

(srsly, y no os)

not me, after all I saw was hide behind walls. -.-

Well, almost done with the dialog script. Just a few more things in Rally Point Alpha to write and then the script should be final and I can get voice actors! :o


73 pages of dialog for the main script.

Plus Rally Point Alpha.

Kill me.

That's a lot of dialog.

.YELO PLZ

I am starting my look for voice actors if anyone here has a good mic and stuff

pm me the list of parts, this time i can definitely do voice acting

and i'm definately going to get working on those bsp's again.

and if you need a little sauce i can help with that, considering altheros seems to have quit ce according to mootjuh

I have some of altheroes old work and he might give me more; but yeah I could use help. darksoldier helped me with some stuff in Project Lawson and I see he's working on some more stuff so if he wants to help too, that'd be cool. But yeah; I can really use help from whoever on shader work stuff.

wow such take. much down.

Comedic genius

its not comedic. its retarded.

Looking good, there aren't enough swampish areas in any of the games.

i haven't really done voice acting for anything of this scale before, but i have a decent mic and a good voice (lulz) so if u really need the help, then i'll see what i can do.

MatthewDratt, Y U NO USE 3RD PERSON Z-TEAM ANIMATIONS LIKE IN H3 FOUNDRY FOR BIPEDS AND Y U NO USE THE LATEST H3 Z-TEAM MAGNUM LIKE IN H3 FOUNDRY?
