Mod of the Month

Post by JK-47 »

Mod of the Month

Welcome to the July 'mod of the month' competition. Before posting your
mods, please take the time to review this month's rules.

Before I get started on all the rules and all that boring (but important) jazz, I'm going to go ahead and introduce something new about this month's competition.
This month, I thought I'd shake things up a bit and set up a theme. This month, I would like to see who can make the best 'forest' themed map. Here's the limitations:

-This is a skin only competition. You may import objects or custom objects to add to the atmosphere. But I don't want to see weapon changes or anything of the sort, unless of course, you have good reason to. But I don't want to see "teh taenk shewts 382803 projectilesz in 1 secnd!"
-Anything submitted that is not under the theme will not be set up in the voting topic.
-If you don't like it, don't cry at me. If you have any objections or suggestions for change, I will be willing to listen if you do it like an adult :wink:

I will also listen to any/all opinions for new themes for upcoming contests.
As always, have fun, and I'm looking forward to see what you guys can pull of this month.
As a small note, I am still accepting submissions for Halo Xbox, whether I get submissions or not, I intend on keeping it in the competition.

Now onto the rules.



Rules


- All entries must be submitted by July 31st, at 11:59 PM. Anything submitted after that will not take place in the competition.

- All mods entered must follow Halomod’s standards, such as no pornography, etc.

- This month's theme is a forest mod. You can do whatever you like to give it the theme, but if you fail to meet the standards, your level will not be submitted through the voting process. I'm still not allowing custom BSPs (but feel free to do an SP-MP conversion if necessary). I will allow custom content, such as weapons, scenery, vehicles, bipeds, etc. But no BSPs.
If you have any questions concerning this, feel free to ask me in a proper way (I don't want to hear "but i leik to maek new bspz foar mai modz ur a newb this is ghey im not competing").

- I don't want to see any complaining about rules in this topic (you may PM me if you have any complaints), and I don't want to see any fighting. If you give me grief, you will be disqualified from the competition. I'm doing this out of my free time, and my pocket (see prize). Like I said, if you have any questions, feel free to do so. But do so in a pleasant manor.

- This competition will be for the following games:
Halo 2 Xbox, Halo Xbox, and Halo PC.
For Halo PC, as I said previously, I will allow custom content (new scenery, new weapons, etc), but I will not accept any mods with a custom BSP.

- The voting will take place in a new topic. I will compile a list of the submitted/accepted mods, and you will base your vote on the user who made it. You may vote for yourself if you feel your mod is better.

- Don't be cheap. You may not submit a mod for both games in an attempt to win a prize at both. Give everybody an equal chance. If I see anyone post a mod for both games, I will disqualify you completely from this month's competition.

- Please limit your mod to one map only. I will not accept major mods that modify the whole game. Just one map. For the PC users who decide to do a skin/mod, you may post your map and bitmaps.map. I’m not looking to see huge game overhauls here Wink

- If you are disqualified and would like to plead your case, PM me. Keep it out of the topic.

- When submitting your mod, there are a few requirements you must follow:

Mod name
Description of mod
Pictures and/or movie
Download

You may do this in any format you like. But your submission must include the said requirements.

Rules are subject to change.




Prizes

Assuming you read the rules, I'm going to go ahead and announce the prizes. I will be giving a first place prize to the winner of the Halo 2 competition, and one to the winner of the Halo PC competition.

1st place - 1st place Badge/Signature/Avatar.

2nd place - 2nd place Badge/Signature/Avatar.

3rd place - 3rd place Signature/Avatar.

You may be wondering what the Badge is. A Badge is a little image that goes under your signature to show you have gotten first or second place in a MOTM competition. The more you win, the higher rank you will be. Kinda like the military's rank system. I will post an image with all the ranking badges later on.

As I had said before, Halo 2 Xbox, Halo Xbox, andHalo PC are more like separate competitions, within the same competition. So the prizing will be handed out according to the game.


Let the games begin!

Post your submissions in this topic. You may edit your submission, but only until July 31st, 11:59 PM.

Once again, I don’t want to see any fighting in this topic. If there is a real issue, report it to a staff member, or take it to PM’s. If there is any fighting, I will disqualify any member according to their place in the fight. Please, just leave it to staff if there are any issues.

I will allow discussion/questions to be posted in this topic.

I’m looking forward to seeing some submissions :wink:

Does Halo PC cover Mac too? So could I post a mod for Mac? I'm pretty sure that it'll work with PC's too.

OK, I'm doing it. I've been way too lazy this summer, and I need to hone my modding skills.

La Forêt Verte

Post by Andrew_b »

I present to you, my latest mod: La Forêt Verte.

Here is the ReadMe.
ReadMe wrote:Made by: Andrew_b

I made this mod for mod of the month. I really want this competition to keep going.

Description:
Revamped Timberland. It plays more like a forest where people actually live. And that's exactly what I was aiming for.

Modifications:
Re-populated scenario.
New Lightmaps
New Lighting
New Flamethrower
New weapon (It's an easter egg)
Updated Hog:
-New Windshield
-Hog now has a radio
Beginning Camera Point
Campfire Scenery
Wooden Shack Scenery
New Lights
Probably More.

Problems:
On race the vehicles don't all spawn.
The Hog's radio isn't controllable, although I tried to make it so.
Shack has 2 minor collision errors (Tool doesn't find them so I don't know how to fix.)
When you melee with the 'marshmallow on a stick', you will hear a wooden whack noise right when you press melee.

That's about it. Have fun!

(That second flamethrower pictrue, I was having fun with Zelda Cam. :P)

I'd like to see someone get killed with the marshmallow on a stick. It would be cool if you could give it material effects so that splinters and pieces of marshmallow shrapnel fly from the point of melee impact.

Nice job.
Retired. Thank you neodos, DemonicSandwich, DarkShallFall, Dragonfire, foxfanatic2317, GOWO and everyone in the hall of fame.
If you want to know how I did something, take apart my mods.

Sorry for the double post, but if no one else enters, do I still get an emblem for winning?
