Mp fp model is a no go. If your trying to get the sp fp arms, make sure your using the right version of the emf importer. Which you can generate from adjutant.


lol back pre-release I immediately got an impression of metroid. this was probably why, and i just didn't realize it at the time.

Those hands in general have a ton of verts... So annoying sometimes.

Halo CE General Discussion » How to change lighting of a maps Yesterday @ 03:36 PM (Total replies: 1)

You can get an entire list of tool commands just by typing "tool" and hitting enter. The lightmaps command is.

"tool lightmaps <scenario> <bsp index> <quality> <stop threshold>"

Without the quotes

Ex: "tool lightmaps levels/test/tutorial/tutorial tutorial 0 0.9"

So far the arguments I've heard are
They're too hard to shoot, because of their collision. ;;Fixable
They can't land. ;;unimportant thats part of what made h3-reach more interesting
They take forever just to kill one. ;;Lower their health, no shielding, and to compensate make them use charged pp firing as well, but less accuracy when firing normal because there are so many of them
There's hardly anywhere to take cover where they can't find you, and they're so hard to kill that you can't take them out before the do you. ;;same fix as above. Sure, they'll still find you, but you'll be able to pick them off with a couple pistol shots or a burst from an AR Mostly an AI thing, As masterz said about them being basically sentinel clones.

So, let's recap. Fix collision, landing doesn't matter, no invisible shields, lower health, less accurate aiming, none of the last three matte because they travel in packs, add a little overhead cover maybe, and there you go. They'll be weaker so their easier to kill for those who said it's too hard, they'll be less accurate, making it harder for them to spam you and kill you when you're hiding, all of this adding a new "lower-then grunt" class, with the advantage of flight making them a little different so the player has to adapt. It doesn't seem that impossible to me.

Oh, btw, who's the texture artist for CMT? Just curious.

Its just a naming convention doesn't really mean anything as far as i'm aware, just a way to seperate tag names; seeing as there are a plethora of reach and halo 3 content still throughout. I could be wrong and it might be a super secret name only 343 knows the importance of.

Halo CE Technical / Map Design » Making sounds overlap and not cut off? Yesterday @ 11:08 AM (Total replies: 5)

Do default sounds do this? I have never seemed to notice.

Halo CE General Discussion » fp arms Yesterday @ 11:05 AM (Total replies: 25)

Its the "storm_fp_techsuit_control"'s green channel. There is no named diffuse texture. Just open the control bitmap up and pull the green channel out and save it as its own texture.

Anyway, my specs:

Case: Antec One. Great starting cases from antec.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 lol the p2 quads seem to be commonplace these days
Harddrive: Western Digital 250GB something. It's years old but I think it's actually fast even by today's standards. I usually go for WD for my HDD's only reason I don't have one on my current build is just because my current was free.

On occasion, textures may be referenced in a specific map, but the raw data isn't actually there. Try different maps in order to make sure.

Otherwise the control maps for certain weapons contain the diffuse in the green channel (fp arms, knife)

Halo CE General Discussion » fp arms May 17, 2013 05:33 PM (Total replies: 25)

skin modifier properties, it should be a tab open by default.



CE only supports weighting shared between two nodes, anything over this and tool will try to compensate and the end outcome is the weights get screwed up.

Which then led a few other members to jump aboard and further the situation :V

Also.

For materials without a named diffuse map, the green channel of the materials referenced control map contains the diffuse (ex: storm_fp_solo/storm_knife)

Did you actually add a region to support the weapons lol?
