Ragnarok V3 and Variants

[IA]Paul · Post by **[IA]Paul** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:49 am

Well, I was fooling around in Ragnarok today and yesterday and thought "Wow, that tank skin is balls, as is the Master Chief Skin. I need to make it so you can't see the ocean through the fog." After that, I thought, "Hmm, maybe I could make some awesome variants to go along with it."

So the idea of Ragnarok V3 was born. While Ragnarok V2 is a fun, atmospheric level, it's very rough around the edges. While I'm asking for helpers (why some of you might be thinking this should go into the project recruitment section), the main reason I posted here was for some help.

1. Is there any way to make it (other than taking the water away) so water can't be seen through fog?

2. Does anyone have a link to that old Mac Sparkedit? (Not the one in Eschaton, I like mouse click and drag)

3. Is anyone willing to, or knows someone willing to, reskin the Master Chief and Scorpion so they're not teh suck in my map? Scorpion needs to look covenant, while the Chief needs to look like he's been beat up. Most skins for the MC get covered by the multipurpose, so be wary.

4. Does anyone have some cool suggestions for a Ragnarok variant? I have like one or two in the works, but I need some suggestions, people!

If you're interested, post here, or better, IM me at mstrchief95 or MSN me at [email protected]

And you're not helping. If your post doesn't contribute at all, don't post.
For #2, isn't SparkEdit in the Mac Utilities topic?

I believe it is.

Also, Thank You for not spelling Variant wrong like everyone on halomaps, ha. Also, I could possibly make those skins but I'm not promising, I'll work on some if I have time.

I don't understand why I'm acting hypocritical.

ModFox: Well, if you feel that you are an EXPERIENCED, and I mean experienced, skinner, try the tank and Master Chief. The tank, no matter what, refuses to be colored like a covenant creation. It just looks like someone put a light-purple film over it, and that's all. I have yet to see a convincing covenant tank skin.

As for the Master Chief skin, it sucks. It's not the skinner's (Spensel) fault, it's just that the skin can only be seen if I turn all of the options for the chief all the way down. What I want is a chief skin is a more beat up, damaged armor that still looks convincing.

Oh, you can also help by lightmapping Ragnarok. Macs can't do it, and the PC people I know can't lightmap (well, I've forgotten to ask Cryticfarm, he might be able to).

It's all about the model. The angular lines WILL make it look human, no matter what.

Detail maps mb.

Well I can lightmap. I just don't really want to do it with no Halo to test things out with on the fly, because transferring maps back and forth would take too long if I mess up, as I'm known to do. >__>

I can skin, I just choose not to post anything. As I said, I MAY do it if I have the time, which is rare.

Well, the colors on it don't look very convincing. If I at least have a good skin, it'll look like the covenant stole it, gave it a new paint job, and covenant guns.

Do it. Or get your CD back.

MoDFox: I hope you do find the time.
