I hear someone has a modified version of the map, with a green screen of some sort?
If so, I'd like to say that's pretty unfair considering nobody else has the modified map.
If that's not the case, I apologize for bringing it up :downs:
itt diy hth
I didn't see anything in the thread related, I forgot where I heard about it.
And I can't do it myself as I don't have an unprotected BSP or access to the assets :|
A lot of work? All he has to do is enter the names in a MySQL database and (don't know if you know too much about PHP, but) write in PHP a mysql command ending in "order by rank desc" to tell it to order it by his rank in the descending format. I'd say it's pretty simple.Quote:

Why the hell would you go through all that effort when you could just use Microsoft Excel or the Open Office equivalent... Also, Yoyorast isn't into MySQL databases and web related mumbojumbo so I doubt that would happen anyways.
How bout we let yoyo do it how HE wants to do it? :raise:
Yea, because that way we'll get a bunch of hugely biased votes and the winner will be the person that promises to give out the most money to his voters!Quote:

Now I agree that a community vote isnt a good idea (because of bias) and I think that Yoyo has a bit too much faith in the community... but hey, it's HIS contect. He makes the rules. :downs:
Haha, what Yoyo wants is part of the game and challenge of winning people! It's entirely your own fault if you are worried people won't vote for you because they don't like you.
I agree. That's just part of the game...
:fail:
Yes that post was very useful. Come on guys. Oh can someone recommend a good flycam controller program? (as in a program that will let me use my 360 controller with my laptop)

Um... it's smoother? Higher quality? Isn't it?
nope
Then what?
Mouse and Keyboard.
Bodily control.

Hey guys, I've been a little off lastly cause I had to send my macpro and have no comp left til i get my new imac i7 mid november... Also remind everybody involved or those not yet in the contest that there's still time til the 29th to make your movie and post on youtube...
I m still thinking if there'll be like a jury voting for the best movie or if i stick with the public poll..
Get to work and good luck!

Ok so for the moment there's Innergroat, Freelancer and Blind/Rosco who are actually working on something... anyone else preparing some stuff?
Hrm- I had been working on something, but I only got it half-finished before school work took all my time away. :( Ah well- if I don't get it finished, I'm looking forward to seeing the other entries.
I am. About 2/3rds of the way done..
Chase cam doesn't want to work well in Yoyov2. It attaches to the bipeds in the sync chamber.
Cool guys, so it's now 4 vids , maybe 5 :) who else ?
okQuote:

One problem that I'm running into is that no one is playing on Yoyorast Island V2... So I can't get any big team game play footage...
I've had some luck with 1.00ce. Still, I have yet to see a KOTH gametype on this map.
I was thinking of running it for awhile on my server one day, get 16 people playing and then have people interested in filming take turns (so that most people are still playing at once). Obviously FP recording can be done by anyone during this, I just want people using flycam (not playing) to be limited to 1-2 people at once.
Yeh, i'm hopinf it will be more played with time passing maybe.. Althought I only played once sunday on a friend's comp.. There was a full server.. I must have been lucky..Quote:

Lancer, I'd suggest hosting Team King, Team and FFA Race. those are some rare gametypes. All I ever see is CTF or Slayer.
Yea i host ma server on 1.00, till sapp gets updated,ButQuote:

Requesting deadline extension, I finally found a server today that had a few people in it that I was able to film... However I doubt I'll be able to have anything rendered by the 29th.
Perhaps mid December would be better? You can announce the winners on Christmas?
Requesting deadline stays the 29th
learn to meet deadlines, it's part of the contest.
If people actually played Yoyorast Island V2 there wouldn't of been a problem. Not my fault in any way.Quote:

I had it running on my own dedicated server for quite awhile, I've even tried organizing games so people will come play for awhile but it never works. No one wants to play YIV2 anymore that I can find!Quote:

Again, how is it my fault that no one wants to play? It's not.
I had arranged to have a dedicated team of actors, all of whom are friends, and its worked out fine.
You seem to misinterpret having noone to join your server or having friends willing to help you not being your fault, despite others (myself) have accomplished this. So you are trying to say that it is not your fault that you faced failure.Quote:
Again, how is it my fault that no one wants to play?
Hence, Irony.
Seems like everyone else was able to film gameplay when nobody was playing, so it looks like you might be out of luck !
Well, good for you guys, congratulations on having 16 friends with no lives that you can ask on a whim to come help you film for a video game! I don't have that luxury so I had to scout servers and hope people joined.
I was under the impression that for at least the first week there were a couple of servers up with people playing :?
freelancer is mad because he has no friends at all.
Extending the deadline won't help if you can't find people in servers now - are there going to be more people playing next week? I haven't been on HaloCE in 2 weeks but when I was on I could always find a full or nearly full server.
stankbacon is resorting to 3rd grade insults because he has no life at all. :saddowns:Quote:

Grow up, guys.
Just becuase you need more time doesn't mean others do. If you wanted to win this, you should of gotten footage when you could. Be more careful with your time. And besides, you can always find like 4 people in the AAR server or w/e and Realworld has yoyov2 on its map cycle 2 times. It's not very hard.Quote:

Yeah this. No need to extend the deadline. We've still got what, a week? It doesn't take a week to get clips and work on them :ugh:Quote:

1.08 has like 10 servers, none running V2 that I saw.
Only other servers I've seen with V2 are 1.00, and there's usually only like 4-5 people in those servers. Not helpful...
UHH I've seen people playing in it for the last couple of days. Also Real world is a UK server, along with almost all of the people in it. Your going to need to go bye there scheduale if you want to play with them.Quote:

Also I was just editing my montage and realized I had a clip of yoyov2 from a day ago. on rw. with like 14 people.
some people might not even be able to play V2, i know i cant..it freezes when the map tries to load
Halo CE has always been like this, the only way your going to get a lot of people onto a server is to actually join it when there is no one on it yet. More people will join when they see there is people in the server.
there were just two servers playing v2 with 7 people in each of them earlier~
7 is a far cry from 16!Quote:

Ok i'm just gonna say this. There's a little thing called STAGING your clips for the video. That's one way there going to be perfect too. So really, all you would need is 6 people. thats a full hog vs another full hog. I'm not saying how to run your movie, im saying you need to be better with your time. There a was a almost full yoyov2 server today TWO times. If you want to win so badly then use your time correctly. It's not anyone elses fualt that you don't have 2 months to get decen't work into it. It dosen't take very long to get clips and filiming, the only hard part is editing.
And I can't film when I'm doing things in real life that are significantly more important can I? Staging video clips isn't a concept that I'm unfamiliar with, I'm not looking for perfect staged clips, I'm looking for real big team game play.
I have to agree, I've hardly got any large scale battle footage, myself. CE's community is just too small. still going to try for the deadline though
welp, you got 5 days. cya
@mookz half the time during the day theres at least two full bg servers. Now only if they were playing yoyov2?
Yeah really.
I'm mean seriously all I need now is third-person action and I'll feel like I'd have captured all I needed. Large battles best battles
Who can vote for the videos? Member's of modacity. that have been members of modacity for more then a month or just anyone that plays halo?
"one poll will be held here at modacity (listing all the links to the youtube vids) so everybody in the community can vote for their prefered vid..."
Exchange rate sucks right now won't participate :P
165 euros to 250 dollars
we need world credit~
Exchange rate 1.5...wtf is happening over there :P
Good for Yoyo though...he is French so I guess it's 165 Euros for him as well to pay ^^
Hi guys, well, 165€ is not nothing even for a french guy like me lol... + when I announced the contest I didn't knew I woud have to buy a 2000€ imac (i'm still with no comp right now and waiting apple to send it to me)... So I suddenly find myself with a lot less money lol.. But anyway i'll pay the winner as planned.. ;) The only thing i hope is to have at least 5 or more movies... Less than 5 would be painfull..
K, bout the voting thing, i think i'll hold one poll here and one at halomaps to have more people voting for the quality and no for the movie makers if this is a true issue. Holding polls at halomaps forums is possible right?
K hope everybody's movie are like ready now, Im keeping an eye daily at youtube but pm me here when its posted so i can't miss your stuff..
Ps: hope you could film what you needed Free ;)
Poll at halomaps? Ugh, I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. I mean, I guess it's more of a challenge to please the halomaps kiddies and the Modacity group at the same time. But all you have to do to please the halomaps kiddies is to do a shot of someone shooting the tank with the splaser. :realsmug:
Nope, been busy with real life pretty much all this week. Getting my Canadian Forces application, aptitude test, medical, and interview all ready and stuff.Quote:

Enter your "Yoyorast Island V2 Release Trialer" video into the contest, It good enough and better then nothing.Quote:

Do second and third place win anything?
blind and I can't be assed to do this anymore, but I have a small bit of video we did do.
Isn't 4 minutes long or anything, but I will release on the day to celebrate anyway.
lets improve it to be a legit half-assed attempt budQuote:

Yeh i sharded the money between the particpants for the 1st contest.. This time i prefered to offer everything to the winner..
But if you guys prefer to share the price between the 3 first participants like 30 for the 3rd, 40 for the 2nd and 170 for the 1st for example, I'd be ok... it would be more to the winner to decide maybe... don't know guys, one thing is it's always sad not to give anything to those who put effort... but I can't give more than 250 that's for sure lol.
buy the way, I just saw the mookz vid, I really love the way its done.. I won't comment more for the moment, not to influence anyone... the only thing is the image quality, sometimes it looks like its too much compressed...
Edit : Sorry, might be the comp or something that screw up the image.. the image is not that bad afterall, its even very good... I love the music, love everything man ! Congrats !
If I come in first I'll wire 50 bucks to 2nd place, 25 to 3rd. Assuming they use paypal.
lets see the video son
Camera's a bit shaky, I really wish I could have used chasecam.
Nice entry, I really liked some parts of it. For the sake of the contest I wont give too much crit. I will say that it was a bit long lol. Overall an enjoyable movie though ;]
