[MOTM] Floodout Final!

[Eaton]

.:Floodout:.




When you play this mod, make sure you are playing the game as an Elite character. A Spartan will freeze the game when he/she dies.

Here it is! The final release of Floodout! I worked HARD to make this mod as professionally as I could in a short amount of time to enter it in this month's Mod of the Month contest. This mod is a totally floodified version of Lockout. I spen a long time on this mod. There are a few things that I did not have time to edit, but I did my very best to make this a stable and fun release. I hope you enjoy it!

-Almost every weapon has an edited Unicode String.
-The Prophet Chair has working sounds.

-And much more!

Bugs:
Sometimes the weapons can freeze the map when fired for some reason, but I think I fixed it for good.
-Prophet Chair does not respawn when it goes over the edge.

ALL of the mods (except sounds) were done on a Vista computer! Whoever says that Vista is bad for modding is wrong.

This mod is best played under the following:
-A gametype that is set to...
Primary weapon set to Random
Secondary weapon set to Random
And Primary Turret set to Machine Gun

a lot of effects are very large ...

but I like it

very nice. i didn't expect this from you, Eaton.

[Eaton]

I wanted to do more, but I ran out of time. Wait until you see snowstorm.

[SkgSkrillaka]

I really like this

Good effects
good pics (for the attraction )

And the eerie green colour gives it all the more feel

9/10
bleh!

p.s I wont wait till snowstorm then

[Eaton]

Thank you! It took me a while to get a good lightmap. But the effect turned out surprisingly well and these are my VERY first effect mods. I've never done effects before.

makes this mod all the more better then

[Eaton]

Wait... I was pretty sure I had a poll up. What happend to it?

[DarkShallFall]

Effects are very nice. Please tell me you have a version without the weapons having the same shaders.

[CaptainPoopface]

In terms of gameplay, the weapons seem too large and powerful for a map as small and confined as Lockout. The flood theme is also one of the dead horses of modding. The effects do look nice though.

You might be able to respawn your Prophet's Chair if you give it health (so it dies when it falls through the death zone, instead of sitting on the bottom of the BSP), or tick the box that says "Destroy existing on new spawn" in the Netgame equipment.

If you relied on the stun jpt from my mods, please give due credit.

Why? You don't like it? I don't. The shaders go nicely with the weapons, but it does get repetitive, but it was the only good shader I could find.

I made the stun effect all myself. I did not take it from any of your mods. I have been having a huge amount of trouble with the Entity chunk cloner so I couldn't add any health to the chair. I didn't raise the damage of the weapons too high, but they do enough damage to match the effect. I played it with my friend and the gameplay is really fun.

[DarkShallFall]

They all have the same shader with the same bitmaps. You could have duplicated the shader and made new bitmaps to fit with the weapon.

[Eaton]

True, but that would take too much time. Something I did not have.

[DarkShallFall]

Why because you where eager to start your next mod? Don't start a new one unless the first is finished.

[Eaton]

Well, I rebuilt this map 3 times with H2 Core and that just made modifications from that point harder. It's not that I don't want to completely finish this mod. It's just that the map seems to freeze every single time I add a new meta, inject a bitmap, or inject a new sound. So something went wrong in the middle so I did my best to make the effects the best and to make the game play good. But it turned out quite well.

Awesome map, when are you comming out with the SPPF file???

Serenity is a lot better than SPPF so I only posted a Serenity. Although, I will consider it when Floodout II is released.

[Scorch]

Nice! This looks pretty juicy.

I'll give it a try.

You didn't have to bump this. And there is a better version on the way. Hopefully it will be released soon.

How soon? And will it be on Halo 2 or 3? And what about sandstorm, this was a blast, I loved it, and cant wait for next one!

When Mutation is released. Of course it will be for Halo 2, I couldn't possibly do what I want in Halo 3. And it's Snowstorm lol. Well, that is my project after this and will most likely be my best and last mod.

But it all depends on when new and better tools are released. I refuse to use Entity any longer.
