"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

...but by the moments that take our breath away."


About six months ago, in about mid-July, the Delta Halo UI Project was started. At first, it was meant to be nothing more than a facelift of the default UI with a new map in the background. As time went on, the UI began to evolve into an entire overhaul of the user interface.

When the project was announced and the first screenshots of the project were revealed to the public, it instantly caught many people’s attention. Being the first of its kind to go the extra mile and do a complete overhaul of everything, the attention quickly grew.

Unfortunately, once September came around, things began to slow down. With summer coming to a close and school starting back up again soon, work was slowed down almost to a complete stop. However, while it became increasingly difficult to coordinate schedules between the Eastern Seaboard and New Zealand time zones, work slowly continued.

Today you are presented with our latest milestone in the project. As of a few hours ago, we are proud to announce that we have reached Beta 2 of the Delta Halo UI Project. The graphical user interface is complete, unless otherwise required to modify due to a bug or a disagreement.

In addition to the latest milestone also comes some announcements. First, we would like to announce that the GUI is not only being applied to the Delta Halo lake scene, but to L33T’s recreation of Mombasa, or the Halo 2 UI. While the level is not L33T’s and rather Bungie’s, he has spent a great deal of time working on getting it in-game. With L33T working on his own Halo 2 mod for Halo CE, this will add the finishing touch to his project. In addition, people will now have a choice in the matter as to what level they would like as their background.

In addition to the extra level, we are also announcing that we decided to venture off from the UI, and look a little more at singleplayer and multiplayer. Being that the tags for the pause menus are contained within the maps, the GUI does not show up if you are anywhere but the main menu. Once the main menu is released, select people will have the option of replacing the default pause menu with the new one. Screenshots of both of these announcements are below.

Sounds and music have also been finalized in this build. The music tracks are Beholden, Peril, Halo (full version), Road to Voi, Impend, and Leonidas. We believe the tracks we chose for the Delta Halo version of the UI will capture the moment and add to the Halo universe theme.

Without further ado, we present you with the pictures and a run through of some of the major changes we have made.

After starting Halo, the first thing you will notice is the fade and blur effect into the screen where you are prompted to “Press Enter to Continue�. For a video of this, click here. (Ignore the music in the background; it’s just Timo’s media player.)

After pressing enter, you are greeted with a redesigned main menu. In addition to the new images and layout, notice the new cursor, also visible in the other screenshots.

Choosing campaign from the main menu will bring you to the new level selection screen, followed by the difficulty selection. Completely new map images in addition to the

Choosing multiplayer from the main menu will bring you here.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...007/MPmenu.jpg

From there, you may select where you would like to go. If you happen to choose to join a game, you will be delivered to the new lobby.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...2007/Lobby.jpg

If you choose to start your own game, either LAN or Internet, you’re presented with the map selection screen, also with completely new level pictures.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../Selectmap.jpg

Continuing down the path to creating a new game, or if you choose to edit a gametype, you are given your list of gametypes to choose from.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...7/GTselect.jpg

Going back to the main menu, choosing settings will bring you to the new settings screen. A check for updates button has been moved to here, so you are no longer prompted to check for an update every single time you want to enter the server lobby.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...7/Settings.jpg

Choosing to edit your player’s options will give you this screen.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...07/Options.jpg

If you want to change your controller settings, the previously horrid menu now flows clean with the rest of the menu. The lists have also been switched from their default positions. Instead of the devices in your profile being on the left, they are now on the right, matching today’s standards.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...7/Gamepads.jpg

Finally, if you choose to go to the profiles menu, you will be greeted with a completely new menu.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...7/Profiles.jpg

If you choose to create a new profile, you will be granted with the “Enter Text� prompt.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../Entertext.jpg

Or if you choose to delete a profile, you will be asked with this prompt. This also applies to any “pop-up� notices or confirmation boxes.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...007/Prompt.jpg

Moving away from the main menu now, here are the two pause menus for singleplayer and multiplayer.

That’s about it for this update. Sorry it took so long since the last one, but this hopefully made up for it. This update might also be the very last one until release. While there are no pictures of the BSP to show right now, there is very little left to do on Snaf’s part, leaving all that’s left to do is to get it textured and in-game. There might be little, minor updates giving you progress on the level design in the future, but expect the next major announcement to be a release date.

...Wow.

Fucking win.

Awsome, guess you got the menu fixed.

I think this, along with CMT SP v2, will be enough to give CE the credit it deserves as a completely new kind of Halo.

I still use the old beta that Timo gave me. :-)

I love you all so much for making this possible. I can't even imagine the work that has been put into it. Thanks for everything.

It beats like... every UI ever, dude.

For serious.

I have one thing to say: make sure you put in something for "time of day" so coldsnap players don't get an exception when pausing. (unless the maps have their own independant pause menus and styles.) Also, great job fixing the scroll bugs. I suppose it won't be too bad seeing "scroll up" and "scroll down" in some menus.

edit: isn't that Danger Canyon in the background of the first screen? I thought this was the Delta Halo ui.

Aside from what Random just said, tailoring such a great UI to suit such an overplayed and fanboyish map would be stupid. Let 'em exception, I say.

...Except they wouldn't either way.

Amen to that. Anyway I think pooky summed it up in this first post. With the combination of the Delta UI and CMT SPV2, this will truely define what Halo Custom Edition really is.

I have an old build that barely resembles this. It's amazing to look back on that and see how far it's progressed.

Wow. I really can't wait to see this come out, that is, well, wow.

Wow, absolutely incredible. I've never really used a custom UI before, but I'll definitely be using this. Great work, guys!

Thanks for the comments, guys!

It's a modified version of Death Island that we're using as a placeholder until the Delta Halo bsp is finished.

like i said at gearbox.
this has been incredibly well done.

and bungie would be proud.

You need to show me more updates >:U

The Spartan looks too green, otherwise, win.

L33T's Alpha Halo UI looked pretty good, and Halo has a ton of music to complement its theme... is that one going to get spiced up, overlayed with the GUI, and released?

I have a single song that could be used for the UI. IMO it brings out the Halo feel VERY well. Its called EdgenHalo. Perhaps some of you have heard it? It really suits something like a tour of grand forerunner structures. Much like the Delta Lake. :)
http://media.putfile.com/Edgen-Halo-46
And if that isnt enough what about EdgenHalo 2?
http://media.putfile.com/Edgen-Halo-2

that is the sex!

Both of those are nice. As long as its not the MJOLNIR mix. Good though it is, it has been used far too often.

If this team had an office, it'd look something like this:

I hate the song, but I like the version ingame Halo 2: no lyrics, just awesome instrumentals.
I don't think it's a matter of not being suited to taste, but not being suited to the map's theme.

That's true, this map seems more suited to a tranquil sort of theme, like High Charity. Too bad no one here can write and compose a proper orchestra.

:confused:

When this is released, I'm going to try to get someone who can to port it over to Mac & PC, with permission, of course. I know the technique, but it just doesn't work for me. It's not the PC technique, it's a new technique that doesn't produce lighting errors when it's run through HHK (mac modding app), which is a good thing. It also can only be done on the Mac :/

We have a way of porting this to Halo PC, although we don't want people to start getting pissy because we're not releasing the means to do so.

Meaning? Why not let it be ported? No harm in it.

We just don't want people getting annoyed because we're not giving them the tools to port maps to halo pc.

The Codex series was a cool series, and they have some more coming.
any ways, I like the songs you picked T33k, very useful for that UI.

Would anyone really port a box map? Common sense says someone would choose a much cooler map than a box map. There are so many to choose from. Regardless, the problem solves itself.

The more good CE maps that get ported to PC, the lesser the influx of new players to the CE community; a count which is already staggeringly low.

Point noted... damn, and I was just about to shift into pointless argument mode :(

convert 4 macs plz?

and though it's been used alot, it doesn't stop it being bad.

how many times have you played retro mario and still found it awsome? (if none, please GTFO!!!)

mjolnir mix is good.

btw, THAT UI FUCKING WINS!!!
+rep for all involved (i'd like a list if possible jcap/timo/whoever has one?)

what more can i say other than win, ownage, pwned, 1337?

The main reason i think it hasnt been released is because the biggest benefit of halo CE are the custom maps.
now considering CE is allready struggling for players wat do u think would happen if the the best Part of CE became available on PC.
it'd be another crushing blow to the CE player base.

but if we could port them, would we really need CE?

wat Snaf said

And that you can't add maps to halo PC, you have to overwrite them.

Explosive and I debated the issue earlier, I think he knows the full reasoning now... but I'm not typing it all again.

Therefore,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wow, I just saw this thread, that looks better then i thought it would... Total and undisputable fucking win time. Plus Rep for you guys!

I can't wait for this. You guys own.

It's mine, and that is the Halo 2 battle rifle...

im fairly unimpressed with the beta.

the "scrool up/down" buttons a really an eyesore, why not just use the arrows.

the renders of the mc, even with how nice they look, dont fit the theme of the ui at all, the rest of the images are that white outlin-ish type, and these just feel out of place.

the hit enter to continue button is nothing but a waste of time, and i sincerely hope you either dont include it, or make a varient without it.

alot of text, for mapnames, profile names and such are squisshed and jaggy looking, and get worse at higher resolutions it seems.

just to load the ui takes a good amount of time, and that is never a good thing.

you guys did a great job otherwise, lots of work went into it, and in most places, it shows.

why not have an image with just the arrow and have the rest of the image transparent.

Agreed, I could care less about the loading time, it takes some time for me to load Halo CE any ways, so it will not matter that much to me if the loading time is tiny bit longer, I use to have to wait a hour and a half for Halo CE to load, back when I was playing off of my laptop, so the loading time is ok if it is long.

Well, how about this, when you are drunk, maybe you should go lie down and sleep the Beer or what ever the crap is that you're drunk on, and then when you are not drunk, come back, and read afew things.




Oh, and just so you know, beer is really bad for you.

Stealth, stop stirring trouble and acting like a fanboy. They can speak for themselves, the last thing this thread needs is you attempting to argue with Bacon.

Just so you know, getting on people's nerves is really bad for you. And there's nothing wrong with beer if you don't overdo it.

Way for everyone to fail horribly at life and turn this thread into a flame fest. :gtfo: flamers!

That post really isn't going to help. At all.

Anyhoo.......

This is awesome. I dont use a custom UI, but this is going in for sure!!
Whats the usual timeline for beta2 to release? (not asking for a commited date, just a ball park)

On a side note, releasing the modified tool to allow for PC rebuilding of CE maps would be a really really really really really realy BAAAAD idea (Really!)
Wont help whats left of the CE community, and won't inspire any new PC modders to bridge the divide either.

It'd be the equivalent of just dropping a nuke on GBX and UXB's servers...

i mean when you leave a server, or ... get tk banned (>.<) it has to load the ui, and it takes a good 10 seconds.


and guys, im not attacking you here, dont get so offended, i simply stated (in maybe not the nicest way) a few problems i had with it.

as for jcaps reply "cry about it" to my hit enter to conitinue statement, sounded like a 12 year old getting mad that his legos fell apart.

still <3 you guys, whether or not you wanna blow this out of proportion and not <3 me back.

TK banned? What's this? :p

See, no need to overreact, was there guys?

Yeah, it does that with every UI for me...

Will there be a way to load CMT SP v1 and v2? And I think some one nedds to mak a UI switcher, whcich one to use Earth ior Delta Halo?

Wow I leave for a day and look what happens. What is wrong with you people?

I just hope jayden's computer gets here before the release of the UI. My desktop is currently on its last leg. :x

while I do enjoy do enjoy watching people flame eachother, I would like to interject with a point and a question. if you like the game then why the hell do you care about how long it takes to load? if you know it will take a long time but look awesome, then go and make a bag of popcorn to aid your enjoyment of the awesome or get rid of some of your maps.

and the question is is there a time-frame for the release of the UI? it really does look awesome

@ first comment - agreed.
@ question - when it's done.

i never usually let my maps folder get over a GB big. it had gotten over 1.2 GB so i went a pruned all the maps i don't like any more or don't play at all, and ended up killing about a 700MB!!

halo now boots about 25 seconds faster.
