Machinima Mod Request
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2005 11:05 am
Nothing like Halo Machinima Companion, which is great and all.
This is actually a bit more detailed, and I don't even know if it's possible. I inquired of it somewhere around here before but no one really took notice or really KNEW if it were possible, so I figure since I'm not even a modder yet, I might as well put out a req for those of you who may be able to figure this out.
As a machinima nerd, I am always looking for new things to make halo machinima better. The main one, is on-command speech. Meaning, having some way of triggering your models "speech tags" (? not sure what they're called), so that their mouths move. Not only would this make Elites in machinima pieces much more natural looking (I spent 5-6 hours making a 5-second movie with an elite moving his mouth since I had to shoot the damn thing billions of times to get the different mouth movements and then edit them together with little background differences), but also for other models if they decide to inject them. Marines, Miranda, the Sergeant... etc.
Having speech command would be a wonderful asset to the machinima community.
Second, is the actions that a lot of the characters in single player do. For instance, the marines dive out of the way of grenades, Elites roll away from them... they hurdle over boxes and violently shake when a plasma grenade is stuck to them. If it were possible to have these things in reserve, I as well as many others I'm sure, would be able to better their movies very much.
Anyway, that is my request... if it is even possible. I don't expect it anytime soon (if it IS possible), but perhaps this will catch someone's attention, and they will have it in the works one day.
