-_- Never mind...
Ah well, I might as well still get H2V, even though I don't have Vista. For memories' sake, or so I keep telling myself. In the worst case, I still have this.... http://halo2xp.tk/
(Sorry about the bump; I only come here about once every few months or so.)
Well, since my partner in crime for this project seems to have gone AWOL, I might as well let you guys know the root reason for the survey since I doubt the project will ever be finished now due to CtlAltDestory's experience in maxscript being vital to development.
We were basically working on a cinematics environment for Max (and later on possibly, Maya) that allowed you to do ALL of your cinematics (one or more cutscenes) for a level in Max, then you would export the cinematics scene to a text file which a tool I'm working on would then parse and perform operations to fix your scenario tag with needed data (ie, object placements, camera points, etc) also autogenerate the entire script for all of your cinematic scene and a few other nitty gritty details needed, but the idea is that it's ALL streamlined.
We had tons of things planned for allowing you to define what events took place during one cutscene (besides moving the camera). Things like, starting a sound, changing the position of a device, perform many operations on objects (ie, damanging, killing, etc), the list goes on and on.
The best part of it? Everything was done in one environment: Max. No going back and forth in max and sapien. Not only that, but it would have worked for Halo 2 (xbox\vista) and Stubbs the zombie too (and Halo 3 later on down the road).
But like say, the person who was helping me on the Max end went AWOL and I'm loosing hope in seeing this project accomplished anytime soon since I don't know maxscript and only have Maya :/. When I had this idea way back when, I tried getting TheGhost to halp but hes too busy doing...things >_>.
Learn Maxscript and do it yourself. Oh, and here are 2000 Euros for Max.
This sucks. :/
Talk to prom. I'm sure they'd be happy to help. (for a price ;) )
no thanks, I want this to be done sometime this year. I don't want to have to be working on this while in Iraq :/. The only max person they have working for prom is JamesD (last I checked anyway, early last year)
Does anybody have a way to contact l33t? This seems to happen a lot. :/
stubbs the zombie? can anyone tell me exactly what game engine it uses? it dosn't look like blam because there are things you can do in stubbs that you can't do with blam and ce. and it dosn't look like blam 2 because the ui dosn't look like it's as good as halo 2...
mid point? or maby the engine has also been modifyed slightly because i know for a fact that you can't rip limbs off and use them as weapons and all that. lol
Stubbs runs on a modified H1 engine.
