I thought that about the wraith but then I was like....idc.
it's isn't that Important, but it would sort of set that battle atmosphere. Any pics of the AA?
Yeah, a few. Look back. Its shooting a dropship.

I feel like being an anti-cunt today.

Ahhhh.... Maybe we can drive it now...
Is there a troop transporthog now? I love those things.
That, or the AA driver is shit drunk and firing at its own ships.
wow just lookin at that shot of the AAwraith ingame only increases my appreciation of Dano's input for this mod, good job again bro.
Yes, wraiths are driveable.Quote:

Here's a tip : if we haven't mentioned something being in the mod, don't ask - it probably isn't and questions like that just annoys us.
please tell me you're not serious.Quote:

Also, yasnaf.
is it just me, or does the spirit dropship seem a little silver for a covenant vehicle?
Its more a dark blue/purple.
Think more Plasma Rifle colored.
Those shaders are outdated. The spirit is not the focus of that picture.Quote:

i have wanted to ask...why is that picture shown with every update you give us.
It has been shown about 4 times along with new pictures.
What gives?
What?
Not you, someone else. Also, sigs too big.
I fixed sig. I also noticed on the first page that the grunts skin looks.... different. I thought you guys were leaving the grunts alone?
You sir are a very informed individual!
they seem to have a different skin. but w.e.
Who cares?Quote:

Nothing gets left alone. I need to adjust the tint of their skin though.Quote:

Okay, sorry.
I guess we're all out of questions...:rolleyes:Quote:

Now how many CMT fanboys get to work on Spv2? Well I guess I can call myself CMT's biggest fanboy now that I get to work on the mod and with the team. [;)]
I know you guys don't care much about that so here's a treat.
I did not make any of this, yet. All I did was take the pictures.

Definitely clean. <3
So, I see a30's Energy Bridge architecture. Outside. With UNSC and Covenant forces already engaged in battle. Sweet.
I see something that could use some improvement - the edge between the terrain and structure. I'd say just make the floor's skin fade to dirt, and the grass edge fade to dirt as well, so it can be made with an alpha channel and not have grass growing out of straight metal.
Those pics probably don't do it justice but that section of the level looks so wide open and big but it doesn't seem too intense in the sense of a large scale battle. It's either that or not many units are shown on screen. If that section is only supposed to be a brief scuddle with the enemy, that's fine. It'd be awesome to have air targets, as well, but it's probably not the focus.
ghost looks nice.
There's plenty of intsense battles, but you also need small ones as a breather as well.
The grass growing over the metal does look unrealistic, and unnatural, but it's like this in other maps bungie has done. From the start when we decided we were adding new bsps, we wanted to make them fit in visually with the rest, and not to make them extra extravagant. We're also super low on tagslots, so we don't even really have room to spare for extra shaders.
Edit: I was thinking you were lookingfor something alot mroe complex than just an actual ground map. The ground map will be one of the last things to be done. Conscars is going to have to get started on those sometime soon if he's up to it. If not we're going to need to get someone new on the team to do them,. There's over 20 new bsps, and around 13 of them are going to require ground maps.
wow! Nice job. btw I'm writing w/ my new tablet. PWN.
I thought you had to ditch regional damage for vehicles on some levels :S

Clad. Either you didnt understand or I didnt understand his question.
ironclad is talking about something that's up with the brute in noob's post, not about regional damage ;)
Either the brute is sticking his arms out and is trying to fly, or I have no idea what the deal is.Quote:

AAAAH, okay. Apparently you saw my confusion. Thanks Timo!
It looks like it's his armor plates poking up from the sides of his upper arms. His fore arms look like they've got some greenish plating on them too, which is probably why you couldn't make them out as arms.Quote:

OH!Quote:

I am only pointing this out, I do no truly care if that is how the final product will look as most people will be focused on either
A) trying to stay alive
B)More focused on doing what "A" implies
great job, can't wait to see this finished.
one last question from me, I do not know if you have had this asked but is/will the apparition return in campaign? though cumbersome I found piloting one quiet fun.
once again sorry if the apparition question has been raised before I asked.
The wha?Quote:

This is almost tempting me to work on a Halo map...
it was this odd looking vehicle that made an appearance on AoTCR, a streamlined ghost like vehicle that fire single needlers or if right clicked a small burst of them.Quote:

O right that thing. I remember that I just didn't know the name.
I am very excited for this.
And Onotix, I PM'd you but apparently you dont check them. Your sig is toooo big.
no masters, I am not looking for more rep if it seems that way >.>
oh realy? I havent got one yet but i edited it.
and im x2000 time more exited than all of you :P
I totally, totally believe you.Quote:

I had heard that it was dropped. It always bothered me. I didn't like driving or fighting it.
I liked driving it... INSIDE THE STRUCTURES :D
[picture should go here, but i suck and didn't take any pictures of it, so... yeah]
Seriously, I even took that thing onto the dual-bridges above the second chasm. It was awesome to do that, but it's a good thing it got cut.
Other than its ability to fit through doors, it just made a cool light show when shooting its weapons inside - the slight randomness of its projectile paths combined with all of those forerunner multi-angled surfaces created some awesome projectile vectors.
God I feel nerdy - I just used the word vector in a sentence.
Yeah but... ewww...

Model would need a serious overhaul and so would the texturing (not that I think that would be a problem... but I don't wanna wait for it to be perfected lol).

Elsewhere in a30.

Same spot as the previous pictures.
.
I'm just gonna say this, and take it anyway you want, but don't take it as an "I hate this, it looks terrible."
But I'm not sure if I'm all impressed by what I'm seeing, don't get me wrong, it all looks nice, but all the forrunner stuff looks too grey or something. I don't know, ignore this if you want... just kind of wanted to say that.
Still looking forward to this though.
Masterz, if you could, post some pictures of the Forerunner architecture on a larger scale. That huge wall in picture 3 just looks too bland. I want you to take some zoomed-out views of that area to either prove me wrong or give me something to go off of for suggestions. Thanks, and keep up the great work, CMT.
CMT's shader work looks much much better this time around, nothing is rediculously shiny. Looking forward to it :-)
My only beef is that it looks majorly repeated. And I dont even care.
LOL at the matrix dodge. Wtf would cause him to do that? Is that his dieing animation?
To be honest I don't really like any of the fore runner textures either, but to me its because of the thick black lines. it just doesn't look forerrunnerishQuote:

damn, oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
the return of the BRG XD
lookin good
Looks good, my only critique is that the wraith looks incredibly flat, maybe make the cubemap more shiny/pronounced?
bah, I choose gameplay over graphics, because if weallchosegraphicsover gameplay gameswould look nicer, but would have shitty-er gameplay value.Quote:

You dare doubt the the awesome that is top-grade waxed-to-hell-and-back covenant alloys?!! HERESY I SAY
The world textures I'm seeing have too much of a 'Halo 2' feel, dark and bland. What happened to bright vibrant color?
Dano. :p
Changing the cubemap wont affect the "gameplay value" at all, or as you put it, it wont become "shitty-er".Quote:

That's what I was actually thinking. The cheif model looked like a lower res version of the one at the begining of this thread, so Masterz must have a "not as good" computer as the guy who took the first screen in this thread.
Advice: Have that guy take all the screenshots.
His computer is fine, he just has problems with CE.
Ok.
/deadend to avoid derailment :downs:
An early render of the wraith showed a body without a turret (and a couple turrets without a body). Will we see like half made Wraiths on any ships or Covy bases, or was that render just to show off the wraith?
/getting back on-topic
I'm pretty sure it was just to show off the Wraith, because I doubt that they would waste a tagslot on something insignificant like a half-built Wraith that you can't use.
is bloom on in the wraith pic?
Okay, next question:
Which control scheme best describes that Sparrowhawk you showed us on the first page:
A) Pelican (from about a million custom maps)
or
B) Banshee
or
C) None of the Above
I just come up with these questions out of boredom. If they bug you I can stop asking them.
Like a brick. Masters gave me some flying tips though, so hopefully I don't wedge it sideways between a tree and a cliff next time I use it.Quote:

If bloom was on you wouldn't be able to see sharp edges.Quote:

I can see it now; they fly in during the middle sections and you blow them the fuck right up.
