Famous Halo

[Vegavak]

WASD would work if you programmed it to compensate for lag. Also, if you had an option to raise or decrease turn time.

Make A and D turn. Q and E are for strafing. I'm sure you can manage. The game will play like Goldeneye 64.

 

[Kwah]

I can do those keys. I'm not going to be able to start tonight, and I have a hell of a lot of other things to do, but we'll see. There is a chance that I might get this done.

 

[FamousPker49]

Aha! Good idea Vega. I was just thinking of how its accomplished in real shooters and was thinking of some sort of combo.

I should get some work done later tonight though because Ill be on campus.

 

[Ghost765]

real shooters use analog sticks for consoles and the mouse for PC.

 

[Sabertooth]

I don't move with my mouse in shooters on the PC, buddy.
I'm pretty sure the topic was movement...

 

[Ghost765]

lol oops. you LOOK with ur mouse, and strafe/forward/backward with WASD

 

[FamousPker49]

As far as I know that would be awesome. BUT as far as I know it would require something from RtC and I think the patch killed a lot of things that are in that. Im not positive though...

Also I fixed a message bug

EDIT: Wasnt paying attention to the previous convo with above post either way. Discuss the damned thing.

 

[Ghost765]

will u somehow incorporate radar?

 

[FamousPker49]

Radar as in...? Like.. Pinging the other player positions?

Also, HINDY has upgraded a few thing within SEE, so I can do some new shitz. BTW there will be a new secret weapon, but only I will know. At least for now.

QUESTION, would you guys rather have the weapon selection system as it is now(SW Battlefront styled), or change it to an item based system like in Halo. If it stays as is, I am going to add some requirements for certain weapons, to add more balance, and more like the real selection system of SWBF.

 

[Anachron]

I wish you good luck on this project.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Pretty much like my two year ago attempt,good job man!

 

[FamousPker49]

Thanks guys. I should hopefully be uploading a version soon, with grenades that actually work among other things.

 

[Kwah]

Bouncing?

 

[Ghost765]

i like the SW style, although once i couldnt choose my sniper since he got disaligned somehow.

 

[Kwah]

What's SW?

Anyway, Pker -- are there going to be any bonus to leveling, or are they heroes for no reason?

 

[Ghost765]

Star Wars.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yes bouncing. And a max throw distance. They are heroes for no reason really.

And yes, as Ghost said, Star Wars. Also, with that problem Ghost, I am in the process of trying to figure out a way to perfectly align the units each time.

 

[Kwah]

I really should download SEE and see what's going on. (Poor pun)

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, I have been having some weird bugs with the grenade launcher. I am trying it now, so hopefully it works right. After that then, I will be uploading it.

 

[Kwah]

I'm awaiting it eagerly.

How are the types of grenades going to work, or is there only going to be 1 to start?

 

[FamousPker49]

For now, there is just the plasma grenade. I was working on getting the normal grenades to work again. Thanks to HINDY, they are working right now. But, I am going to look into some alternate grenades also. The way it will work is by using an ability to switch the type of grenade you are using.

EDIT: Here's the map. I am off for tonight most likely. Any idea when you might be able to finish the movement system hawk900?

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wow,it's really cool!

But with the movement system it would purely rock!

 

[FamousPker49]

Well thanks. Anyhow, just added some small little tidbits. Most of the work was behind the scenes stuff. I would've gotten more done but the damned thing kept crashing WE when I tried to set a string variable to a long string.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Let's give it a try!

 

[Kwah]

Any idea when you might be able to finish the movement system hawk900?

Hrm. Give me exactly what you want, and I'll get on it. I have time this weekend.

 

[scorpion182]

great map. maybe you can add simple jump ability, it would be more cool

 

[Hawkwing]

That would be completely pointless in this game, and ruin how some of the zones are set up.

 

[Kwah]

But . . . it would be cool. Coolness > Gameplay. Well known.

 

[Ghost765]

jump would be good for dodging missiles/ bullets.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alrighty. Basically WASD movement. A and D would rotate the unit and when they are combined it would become a strafe. If you can have the ability IDs in the a010 range so I dont have to fiddle with changing it. I know JNGP allows you to change them. If not thats alright. Each players hero is set to a un global unit var named Shooter. How creative. So if you have any questions... Figure it out yourself. Lol jk.

Ill add jump although as Hawkwing said... Itll mostly be useless.

 

[Kwah]

I'll start on it, but I have some other projects too.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Jump is an important feature in Halo,as long as it's diagonal or lateral!

 

[FamousPker49]

Well if you can get it done this weekend thatd be great because I doubt ill be able to do any work for a few days.

 

[Kwah]

I'll do my best.

 

[FamousPker49]

Well I got the shotgun added in but theres a few things I need add and wasnt able before I had to get off.

 

[Anachron]

Famous do you need help at terraining?

 

[FamousPker49]

No, I am fine. But my computer is back up and running so I will be able to work at a much greater pace now.

 

[Ghost765]

i so want to change blood gulch's bunkers. they are so fugly right now.

 

[FamousPker49]

If you want to then do it and I'll see if I like it. Here is the latest version with shotgun. Ghost, change the bunkers on this one and when I get home I'll look at it.

 

[Hawkwing]

I have to agree. They are pretty fugly. But I don't really know what sort of alternatives you have.

 

[Ghost765]

i'll do it in a sec. what im thinking about is actually raising it so its more of a hill.
ok, ive done a basic edit which has (imo) improved the bunkers. Ill also make another version with some imported stuff that i think will enhance the map quite abit...
edit: im not gonna follow halo 1's blood gulch in my custom one, it'll be slightly different.
2nd Edit: FINALLY done. I took some liberty's and changed around blood gulch alot. I added a waterfall in the cave area, so the cave is flooded, but still walkable. There is also a river that comes out out from one of the cave entrances, circles the King of the Hill hill, and meets up with the other river that came out of the other cave entrance.
The area that has been encircled by the river is now sort of a forest.
The river is walkable in all areas, but just for show i decided to add a couple bridges.
The bunkers have been completely redone, using custom walls for the walls.
THIRD EDIT: Fixed a bug on the Custom Edit that disables you from choosing another class after you died with a shotgun.
Ehm...Thats pretty much it. Here are a few screenshots:

 

[Ghost765]

red alert! players complain that they cant reselect a new class and theres no wisp!

 

[FamousPker49]

Okay, I think I fixed the bug with the deaths. Added you into the credits Ghost.

 

[scorpion182]

this would be a great game ^^

 

[Ghost765]

too lazy to check, but which map are u using?
EDIT: ok, add the shotgun description.
and uhh... theres more on ur visitor messages.
anyways, credit me as Dark_Captain/Ghost765

 

[FamousPker49]

Alrighty done with that. If you feel like doing any terraining go ahead. I won't be on til later tommorow.

 

[Ghost765]

im part of the forge team after the talk on bnet right?

 

[Pyritie]

Argh, why do you two have the same avatar and signature? D:

 

[Anachron]

Omg that terrain (sorry but thats my ho) sucks!

Well how to improve?

Use more doodads, the barrens doesn't fit to ashenvale, the sand sucks on the mountain landscape and the trees are to simular planted.

 

[NearbyHermit]

More doodads,google for Halo in-game pictures!
