this NEEDS a TUTORIAL
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 10:38 am
I'm requesting a tutorial. After an exhausting day yesterday from the time I got home 'til 6 a.m. I was searching the forums and downloading plugins and programs and reading readmes and lame ass tutorials that explain nothing, and testing and trying out things until finally I got so frustrated with the fact that I couldn't fucking find out how to do something so damn SIMPLE, I just had to go to bed. I looked again for a few hours this morning but didn't find anything. I looked at every post about making weapons, modifying weapons, skinning, etc.
I NEED to know how to change the actual base mesh of a weapon, for example, make the barrel of the assault rifle longer, and change it many other ways to make it look the way I want it to...and then how to apply a texture to it that looks like it is the correct size. The texture thing isn't essential, as I could always make it a shader, like a shiny pink or green or something if the texture doesn't work, but I keep seeing people post up models for new rifles they've made and I stare with my jaw lowered going "W... T.... F!?!"
specifically the work done by ikabuianman here: http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2179
HOW THE FUCK?!?! If I could get the warthog to fly, have wings, have a skin that I make, and carry a gunner, I'd be 100% satisfied with halo modding.
there are NO tutorials about how to make something custom like that, and how to inject it back into the game, and have it work. There are also no tutorials on shading (im still a little confused about that but I think I get it for the most part) or how to RENAME WEAPONS AND VEHICLES for example the Jet mod, where you look at it and it says "press E to enter Jet" how'd you get it to be named Jet? and for weapons, like "press E to pick up Laser" how do you do that? I need someone to tell me briefly or PLEASE I would like to see a tutorial on this soon. Personally if the rest of the site didn't bring halomods.com up, I would have tried to find somewhere else when I was starting out due to the diffculty of everything. There should be an specific tutorial including everything you could possibly use or need and how to do EVERYTHING because I KNOW it isn't that hard, but nobody is coughing up how!! Everyone's just a selfish credit and mod hog! You all make really cool stuff and then make it your mission to never let anyone else know how... this is good to an extent for complicated stuff but.. I'm not trying to steal any ideas here I just want to know how to do something really SIMPLE. As an example someone could tell me how to make, let's say, a needler that looks less round, kind of so the top is flat, a flat surface for the needle ammo to stick out of, and maybe change the shader on the needles so they are white or translucent and the contrails are white like the sniper rifle and the needles fly much faster than normal, and then how to name it the Shatter when you pick it up. I don't know how to do ANY of that except change the contrail and the shader.
Thank you VERY MUCH in advance to anyone who will help me or at least reply. Please help to keep my faith in the halomods.com community help system.
