i agree with bacon on the "do u want to continue?" window. it just seems pointless...
leave it out plz :)
theirs a reson why they have that on xbox, but on PC it's un-nesicary.
ditch it plzkthxby.

I'm also finding it hard to press enter when I start up halo CE with our UI, it's such a nuisance! I cannot believe that you would even consider making me spend half a second to get past that menu to get to gain access to the main menu! I don't care if it's there so you can admire the bsp! Please, Jcap, make me take it out!
lol owned
I see no issue with keeping it. I couldn't care less either way.
It's trying to make it feel more halo 2-ish, i believe. But it makes no difference wether or not it's in, except maybe a few tags in the file.
Removing would mean we would lose around 5 tags, and the final UI map would be less than 40kb smaller.
Exactly. No noticeable difference, except it takes a few less joules of energy that would've been used to press enter. :rolleyes:
I like it :P
kill it, it takes up space and is un-necessary and annoying.
and you can admire the BSP in the main menu (mb with some more text but GTF over it)

Maybe you should just get the fuck over it :)
It takes up literally no space.

i don't really care, it's jus that one of my pet peeves is useless things.
and that's useless.

Seriously though, get over it. It takes less than a second to hit enter, it takes up under 40kb of tag space, and it lets you admire the map... so who gives a fuck?
it would apear i have a rightous burn on my ass >.>
i've been signing my name on my posts so long, it feels weird not to.
so fuck it. leave the enter in, and i'll keep saying n00b out :P

plz dont tell me your putting in the "checking for updates" screen as well :\
Why bother? Because it lets you look at the map without dirty great text and such marring it, and it takes virtually no space, and no effort and no brainpower to put up with... just hit enter, is it really so hard?
With this UI you can check for updates via the settings menu. The big fucking difference here, is, is that the updates screen sits open for around ten seconds, then auto closes. The enter screen takes around half a goddamned second to get passed! You don't have to download this UI if you don't want it.:eyesroll:Quote:

Don't like it, quit complaining, cuz I'm pretty sure despite your complaining, its going into the UI. Either, download it, or not, it's up to you.
Indeed.
Yes, I agree. The whole "enter" thing makes it feel more like a console game (except Halo Xbox, of course) because almost all of them start the same way: developer/designer logos, possible opening sequence(s), and then a "press start" screen. (okay, maybe some other games, like Lego Star Wars or something don't have the "press start" screen either, but...)
ok, PEOPLE, THE ENTER IS GOING TO BE IN THE FINAL. NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
this thread needs more update please.
n00b out
Now please shut up.
An image from the halouvre? Whoop de doo?
Yes, I don't see what you're getting at.
Win. Awesome, the models are done! Now to integrate the ui to the background... then it's basically done. We can expect it to be released some time before the SPv2 comes out. (But that was always a given, no? [sarcasm]unless the SPv2 comes out tomorrow[/sarcasm]
I don't think the model is 100% done, maybe it is, maybe not, don't make them quickly finsh it, and release it, that all wasy mess things up.

Its Halo 2, No way anyone could recreate it that well for CE unless they ripped it.
Wrongo. It's just that the vast majority of the CE community are minimalists.Quote:

Thanks, now I feel like a noob, knowing I fell for that.
Idea: make it so when you get a "can't connect to server," "server is full," or "error loading a map file" errors, the OK button is tied to the multiplayer screen? Not the internet/lan lobby, just the multiplayer select screen.
This thread is really going places. And I like your idea p0lar.
Now all we need is animated textures to perfect that UI.
(if one can make animated textures for holo panels and tank treads that shouldn't be too hard for that should it?)
Tried that out, but it stuffed the back button up. It didn't go back to the main menu. We can tell the enter/left mouse to return to the main menu when the back button is hit, but escape would do nothing (because there is no event type linked to it).Quote:

o_o
This would be a cool main menu song xD
Nicely done. :p
I got another cool little idea: make a menu option, like in the Farcry main menu, called Demo Loop. When you hit it, all widgets disappear. You hit esc to return to the main menu.
I always liked hitting that option in Farcry, and just watching the flyaround. :D
ah the games you can buy for $10 (got Farcry months ago, just to see how it was to attempt to get a taste of what Crysis might be like, dissapointing storyline and main plot, I am hoping Crysis will be on the other end of the polls)

I've hardly see any servers running CMT maps for a while. When I decided I actually WANTED to play Halo seriously for the first time in months, all I could get was Blood Gulch. =\Quote:

n00b out
I'll quote Veegie.
Quote:
We have the tools, it just has to be done manually every time a map is added. Which would mean you'd have to create some sort of autopatching executable that updates itself based off of an index hosted on a server that contained all map descriptions/images of every map ever made.
You could always just put in a certain set of maps when it's launched then forget about adding more, but that would be pretty lame. I say just leave it as is
It's actaully not that bad, without the maps. It's actually not possible to do that thing with the maps in the ui. The ui will probably tell the game to display certain information for the map you have highlighted. If any maps it tries to display don't exist in your maps folder, the game could get an exception or "error: Halo couldn't load because [this map file] doesn't exist in your maps folder. Correct the problem and try loading Halo again.)
Any map that would go into the UI though, everyone here probably has.
Oh God no.........Quote:

however, that does not mean that you shouldn't put any custom maps on that list.
add what maps you makers want.

I think you guys are missing the point. It would take alot of fucking time to do, you need to do it in HMT or some halo PC hacking tool, so I'd have to find a converter that doesn't fuck everything up. It's not worth enough to do. Not everyone has the maps that I would put in.
ok, calm down.
(though it may become like a tresure hunt to find the maps that work and then those maps may become more popular)
but the majority of the comunity is a slack as so it doesn't matter.
n00b out
If it was added and you didn't have the map, it'd be greyed out, like the default maps are if you don't have them in your maps folder.
Who cares, it's completely unnecessary and a waste of time. The UI is certainly more than adequate without it.
Get the fuck out of the thread. Please. We are no longer taking suggestions because the UI itself is finished. Also, stop asking for betas Rossmum, you won't get it before anyone else. Keep it civilized or I'll get Jcap to lock the thread until release.
EDIT: ROSSMUM I AM SO SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER MAKING THIS POST D:.Quote:

I've been doing well with the beta I have, but I'm hoping you fixed some glitches like not being able to set the name and password when hosting your own server?
We were too hopeful with the latest HEK+ release. It protected everything fine, but you can't get to any of the "enter text" menus. The final release will only have .bitmaps protected, so everything should be fine.Quote:

Well I said Sorry for the Bump twice. I was just curious. No news in months. I want to feel excited again. That's all.
you're just setting yourself up to be disappointed again :smith:
hey shut up mister.
Oh hi snaf, mr. im-the-only-one-holding-back-release-because-im-too-fucking-lazy-to-model-the-damn-temple.
sup?
oh damn you!

you guys are actin like i'm the only o.... oh... tha's right i'm the only one modeling. damnit con you could've done the temple, too D:

Yes thanks for that little update. I look forward to the release. And I guess I did set my self up for disappointment.
