Warcraft 3: Halo

[Grievous1]

I downloaded that but like the name suggests it just converts lol. Nvm I have trimmed down the music to 600kb by taking a big chunk of it out, so instead of the music running for 117 seconds, it goes for 38 or so.

It works fine for me you just need to convert the file again for example into mp3 just with a lower quality choosed option. If its not enough for you should try the tool wavepad too. For me it is currently so ultimate music and sound file size reduction/editing and convert tool combination. I hope you able to solve the current music file size problem and I wish you a nice day.

Yeah just run it on a loop, but keep the loop in pieces, so it doesn't get repetitive.

Also I meant the original track with no guitar (or much less guitar lol).

 

[GhostThruster]

The 'original track' implies that Rock Anthem to Saving the World is an alternate version of the Halo theme, which you probably mean by 'the original track'. I'm just saying that Rock Anthem to Saving the World is a completely different track to the Halo theme, not a remake or alternate version. Also, if you think that has alot of guitar, youtube MJOLNIR Mix (which actually is a remake of the Halo theme).

EDIT:
@Grievous1: I reduced the quality, and the filesize was cut dramatically. So looks like I will be using the whole 117 seconds. Thanks for the help!

Much better without the guitar, ah this brings me back to the good ol' days, I'm definitely downloading CE Anniversary for this computer.

 

[Luffy_299]

Yea, Halo CE theme is way better IMO.

[off topic] [breaking rules?] xRiot, i dont think a x360 game would work for pc, would it? If yes, pm me.

 

[GhostThruster]

Hmmm...never seen that track before.

I prefer guitars After all, this map is based on all the Halos, not just CE. And I guess most people think Halo 2 had the best multiplayer, so I will be basing it moreso on Halo 2, including music (halo 1 music was epic but halo 2 music got your blood pumping).

Yeah I didn't realize it is 360 only, those bastards are Microsoft...

Also, that is the track from CE Ghost, lol. The Rock Anthem to Save the World is an edited version.

 

[Luffy_299]

The MJOLNIR mix is a bit too loud i think. Lol, put the Reach theme Lone Wolf or however its called.

 

[chriskilinc]

Wow, looks cool. I hope you'll finish it.

EDIT: Where do you create your models, do you use 3d programs such as 3ds max and cinema or just Wc3 moddel editor or what's it called?

 

[Luffy_299]

Does "See you starside" refer to you leaving?

 

[N00B5600]

Omg ghostthruster u back grrrr dont ditch this like da halo utm dsfdsfsdf

 

[GhostThruster]

Wut.

 

[Luffy_299]

Moar progress plz. Fuck, i passed 343 posts damn

 

[GhostThruster]

It's just that I'm packed with exams this week, and since I got home from holidays, I've gotten alot to catch up on

 

[RiotZ]

Wut.

I think he is trying to say, don't mess it up lol.

 

[Luffy_299]

Mind telling again what vehicles will be added? :O

 

[NightElf125]

Hey keep going with this project man, looks awesome. You've got my support and attention.

 

[GhostThruster]

Ghost and Scorpion. Scorpion does not have machine gun turret.

 

[Luffy_299]

Does the ghost run fast as fuck?

 

[shinji]

Nice. I hope this becomes epic like Sharpshooter.

 

[RiotZ]

Does the ghost run fast as fuck?

Hopefully fast enough for a SPLATTERKILL!

 

[Luffy_299]

Oh i guess the ghost will be like the one of Halo CE, very fast but no boost.

 

[shinji]

How is the progress? Is coding done? I can help in coding.

 

[GhostThruster]

No I am doing this project by myself, unless you can skin or model.

I'm changing this into a third person shooter, because FPS is nigh impossible (I've tested it).

Yup. Have you played the WC3 map called "sharp shooter"?? It's good but it's hard to look around and stuff.

 

[GhostThruster]

Yep, that was what I was basically going to copy the basis from. Aside from the controls, I cannot make the HUD or the models for your guns/arms in first-person-view (this was what I was testing, it doesn't work for trying to turn up and down, and also moving onto different heights screws up the camera), and using .tgas or .blps for each animation is too big in file size.

 

[Luffy_299]

I guess youre making it like Combat Zone now?

You can lower the quality for compression.

The controls sucked in that game. Knifing is hard as hell. It's hard to look back quickly. Maybe you should make it able to look back quickly by pressing the down arrow twice in a row.

 

[-Peper-]

Third person shooter, bird's view or back view?

 

[GhostThruster]

@shinji: then it won't look good :/ Also, rather than just trying to copy Halo, I will make a unique map based on Halo with different mechanics.

@-Peper-: birds-eye view. No headshotting or jumping unfortunately, but it should be more fun and easier to make.

Birds eye? Back view is better in my opinion. It will be easier to aim. Use fade filters.

EDIT: I mean, use fade filters for crosshairs.

 

[GhostThruster]

Back view will still have clunky controls like in FPS view.
What I intend is to have it similar to my other map Hostile Territory, but you can choose to shoot at a target point by right-clicking on the ground. The gameplay will be like toy soldiers with WSAD movement.

 

[sonofjay]

I love your first plan on this, but I also like toy soldiers so I'm confident that this will still become a good map.

 

[Luffy_299]

IMO, you should do it like http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/combat-zone-3-7-a-146341/?prev=search%3Dcombat%2520zone%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 (but with WASD for movement, its easier)

 

[GhostThruster]

No, there are animation issues and I really dislike the camera. Also, you still won't be able to jump/aim up and down/strafe or have different heights.

 

[shinji]

Good luck then. I hope this becomes epic.

 

[GhostThruster]

shameless advertising: i made a sentinel icon.

 

[Brutal_Mage]

I love halo and this is just AWESOME

 

[GhostThruster]

I love awesome and this is just HALO
