HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

hello everybody. This is something I'm working on in my free time and still has much work to be done on. For example, I haven't worked on the rocks, decrs, and cliffs yet. However, I would like some feedback so I can make the skin appeal more to the general community. Therefor, here are 3 preview pictures. Unfortunately, these pics are taken in Entity's BSP viewer and the vehicles are more blotchy and look like a added a frickin huge amount of noise to the texture than I did. So far all the skins are custom besides one emblem on the warthog. Which leads me to a small contest I am opening in this thread. Whoever can guess which band's logo/emblem is on my pic of the hog (the last pic), reply back here and if your correct, you will get the chance to pick your favorite band and place their logo/emblem anywhere on my map! For example, you could ask for it to be on a flag, vehicle (besides warthog), or maybe on a new poster inside the base . Unless I have a MAJOR objection to your placement, you will get your wish. Good Luck and constructive criticism is always wanted/accepted

I like the base, it looks like it got stuck in a blizzard

O yes, I will also skin the base a bit. Maybe just simple icicles hanging from the sides.

looks cool... you should skiin the rocks and walls and mabe give it the lockout sky or weather...mb?

Why don't you get in-game pictures?

I can't get in game pics because I don't 1. have enough room on my HDD to transfer the map over to the box
2. I don't have enough CD's to burn a copy with the map on it unless it's time for beta testing or just before release.
No guesses on the band yet?

The emblem is a verk skewed Guns N' Roses emblem, and the band kicked ass back in the day. Nice skin but I still cant tell much ebcause it's in the BSP viewer.

wow this looks nice. please tell me the difference from your skin from the other countless snowagulations? seriously

EDIT: I would love to see this on a different level

Atleast the snow looks more soft and powdery like it should...

GALVINATION WINS!!!
As I said, the emblem is screwed cus the BSP viewer screws up the skins automatically. The emblem looks much cleaner nicer in the DDS. And yah, they did kick *** back then. So, either PM me or reply back here what band you want and stuff. The difference between my snowy map and all the others is that all the others have the same grass texture! Open one up and you'll see that they used the same one and back before I thought about making an original skin, I found that texture on a website! My snow is much more realistic cus I used multiple reference pics of real snow instead of a texture that is labeled ice/snow on the internet

EDIT: should I stop this and instead make a skin for Singing Blaze's contest?

True but at the same time, it doesn't seem to have any texture what so ever. Although these pictures are in the bsp viewer, the ground is just too bland IMO.

Idk what emblem to use but the GNR emblem is just fine. If any other use the Disturbed emblem located here: http://images.oldglory.com/product/010120MIPHc.jpg

ok, I'll keep the GNR then if thats what you want.

Yea it'll probably look better ingame. Is it just me or did you use the Rebel insignia from Star Wars on the ghost? lol.

lol. No, I just took the already present emblem, outlined it in black, gave it a brighter red, and went over it with oil painting and glow effects

true but some things look better in the bsp viewer. also its not in-game so we cant really judge the texture of the snow

ok. Here's an update to the base. I think it looks really nice
