[WIP] Code Named "Halo: FTW - Refined and Polished"

[Pepsi]

Ham, I remember now. I feel dumb about that soz.

Kanki, Not everything is going to be all "bright and shiney" in this one. I admit on FTW I did go a little "gloss" crazy but im going to be curbing that in this installment I assure you.

No one really commented on Gephy so either..

A. It was so awesome you were speechless.
B. No one cared.
C. HaloPC modding died all of a sudden.
D. I dunno.

Either way I went ahead and finished the main concept up tonight finally and took some screens. Granted their not from the best angles to show off the entire map but then again I don't want to also for reason I wont name. And yes, once again, all this is lobby friendly as I testing pwning RP clan in some sniping.

screens below..



Im planning to have the first working BETA out sometime after Xmas or before give or take a few days. This will not be a complete build but mearly a test of some ideas for people to get a chance to see where im heading and getting user feedback from my testers. Were going to have to set up a game where we all can join and play together so ill work something out with that and securing a VoIP server.

Next map begins tomorrow.

Nite Guys! Off to bed

[Mr.Brightside]

Fucking amazing.

You should get on xfire more often, man.

[JK-47]

Very cool.
Definitely not sniper friendly, though :3

[guysullavin]

enough fire?

[Andrew_b]

I don't like gephy for the following reasons:

1. The flame particle (in the video), goes through the bridge. I don't like random flame going through metal bridges tbh.

2. I think the fire should be moved down a tad

3. Reminder: Null the damage tags on the fire.

Yah? **** that. Then there's no realism!

Okais. If you like exceptions when playing in other peoples server.

*** amazing.

Holiday season and I got people coming and going with family, friends and such. Its hard to do anything with people constantly around. I try to get on as much as I can. Also, I found when im on Xfire and typing and laughing with you guys I don't get anything hardly done sometimes so I dunno. I still lub you guys thoe <33

Very cool.

More friendly then you'd imagine actually. You'll see this upon release.

enough fire?

Nope.

1. Deal with it? Sorry but its worth it happening once in awhile for the complete effect.
2. I did that already. Its just huge and I want it to be pronounced then some flickering flames.
3. First thing I did after injecting.

[Andrew_b]

Okay, I'll deal with it, but I wanted you to change it because flame jumping out in front of me would scare the crap out of my tbh.

[Pepsi]

This is one of thoes instances where playing it does better then seeing SS's to understand it. BETA will be soon and you'll understand. But as of right now im trying to figure out where to hide your stash.

[Brendando]

1 map done. 15 to go.

Does this mean your not re-vamping campaign? :/

6 maps done now actually. Im just not posting alot of it yet.

Campaign? I tell you some true honesty of why I dont want to do it...
=Insert pepsi's explanation=
No, no campaign. Wait for mod. You'll like it. Please drive around to first window.

I love the film Saw. I love its sequels too. In fact, I still enjoy watching it. The thing is, I think the fact that it hasn't been done before doesn't mean that it shouldn't be. The fact that its substantially harder than multiplayer; isn't that the challenge? And as far as I'm concerned, don't touch the storyline; it's perfect. Environments, skins, weapons, vehicles, characters, skies... etc, on the other hand, could be so much more awesome. Hey, it's your mod, and you should and can do whatever you want with it. All I'm saying is, if you excel at revamping campaign, then you'll have done something truly special, because it is so much harder to achieve.
Btw, progress seems good, looking forward to seeing more multiplayer map pictures. If you don't touch campaign, I will be dissapointed, because I do play through it more than I do touch multiplayer maps.
Anyhow, keep going, and I hope whatever you do do, remains at this standard.

Pepsi, are sounds working again on Gephy?

Also, I am getting XFire working, seems to be a PPC problem with the app I was using, got the Dev to fix it soon hopefully, so I can talk to you once more.

[Pepsi]

Gephy has fully working sounds as you could have heard in the vid along with my damn dryer squeaking non stop.

AS for campaign I did revamp it once in FTW. I redid all the lighting cues, lighting, textures, themes for maps roughly as well as messing with AI and so forth.

Heres the 64 million dollar question thoe...

"What could I do to campaign that wouldnt be a direct bite from what Philly is doing?"

The side point is im trying very hard not to make this a "Philly Vs. Pepsi" mod contest. I know fully that as soon as Philly begins his MP maps their going to be compared to what I did and if i go do campaign my maps are going to be compared to what he did.

Philly has his friends and supporters as I do mine and I don't want any of that clashing with a "FTD Vs. FTW V.2" debate. In the end its going to make me and Philly loosers cause natural male competitiveness might get to us and just make a ugly drama.

It might happen then again it might not. But by not doing it I know for sure it wont. This is where the phrase .. "better be safe then sorry" .. comes into play.

[DeadHamster]

Pepsi you mind if I steal this mod? How about this; Pipe Wrench fight. Winner takes the mod. Sound Good?

[Pepsi]

You could try but im trying to PMI this magic frame into a map first. Plz wait kay?

[DeadHamster]

I thought I told you to stay away from my magic frame!

And I have one thing to say about geph

What kind of hallway is this? Is this your house!?!

[bcnipod]

/me sneaks up behind DH and clubs him with a vehi.ent plugin

btw Pepsi, I should have Xfire working later today, hope to talk to you soon.

[Andrew_b]

I thought I told you to stay away from my magic frame!

This guy's gonna get an ass full of pipe wrench!

Also, lawl at the link text. Climb through the hole, that's what he said.

[bcnipod]

YEAH!

Xfire is working, except I cannot see anyone on the buddylist right now. but if you message me, I can respond I will send you my name on Xfire, also if you could give me some specific images of the mod that would be great.

• the UI logo against black

I can grab the rest of them from the posted collages you put up.

[midnight0908]

Will the fire in geophy make the people who join my games without the same map file get exception? cause i know the peli's and longswords ETC do that
