ruder · Post by **ruder** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 2:46 am

Hey everyone of halomods.com, out team snowmakers have been working on a BSP injection project and intend on becoming the second team ever to inject a full BSP.

So far the team consits of 3 people, Me (Ruder), Pyro Blizzard and Cragsterboy. We all have different tallents and work as a team. If anyone would be interested, either post here or you can post in the recruitment section in the forums on our site (http:/snow-makers.com).

Or if you do not wish to be in the team but wish to help us on this project it would be appreciated. Someone who knows about injection would be awsume, only my BSP injection programs do not fully work.

Any of the following specs are needed in our team...

Modeling
Skinning
Fluent at Insolence
Weapon Effects
Hex Editing
Overall Dothalo Knowledge

Here are some maps our team has created.....

The Cold Yard

A Frozen World,

Snow City

Cold Island

Deceased...

This map is not snowy, its foggy and it situated on sanctuary. i do not have pics but here is a video.

Snowzone (in progress)

Cragsterboys Stuff:

My tripple pack has in it:

Frozen waste land! (burial mounds): This has been re-skinned competely to give it a cool frozen and snow efect and it has a new sky!

SnowWash (backwash): this has got no fog, its snowing, snow on the ground, its had some hexin done to it and some of the gameplay weapons (skull, flag etc.) have been re-skinned!

Snow Paradise (zanzibar): The map has been competely re-skinned to snow and masterchiefs are marines, they change apperance everytime u die (dont they squirrel) and there is elites as hunters (to enable their weapon run over were a plasma rifle should be and when you have charge it up till it fires!) Sorry i didn't put a pelican on cause the maps too small and there too many glitches with it!

There you go thats my present to you snowmaker fans! How u like it!

Cragsterboy

Models I have created....

Just say what ur good at and maybe some proof and we will consider you. If you are a modeler, then u do have an advantage, snowmakers is based around models.

All images and maps are made by snowmakers. Please tell us if you see any of our maps taken and renamed! Thankyou!

Thanks in advanced, Ruder

ruder · Post by **ruder** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 1:00 pm

Id gladly join. My model making skills are quite limited, but im learning. But I use Insolence and Dothalo quite frequently. I can skin quite good also, so if you still need members, ring me a holler

Talin64 · Post by **Talin64** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 1:38 pm

1 mesh out of 48. hmm you must be working on coagulation.
Care to list what you updated exactly?

ruder · Post by **ruder** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 1:49 pm

i am using a modified version of glitchy's BSP tools, it took me 3 hours to inject 1 mesh, it involves hex editing and alot of paitents.

erm, ok well fantom, if you mention it on the snowmakers forum then we will add you into the list =D

Ruder.
This project sounds very interesting.
Have you gave any thought to how you are going to update the level collision? It just seems like a lot of stuff to fix to me. Although if you can do that all in hex you must have alot of skillz.

1. Isn't collision part of BSP, I only use Halo CE, so I don't know about H2
2. To get the lightmaps, compile and perform radiosity with the HEK.
3. Nice model
4. Is it UVed yet?

Pyro Blizzard · Post by **Pyro Blizzard** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 5:45 am

No collision isnt part of the bsp and HEK is a Halo 1 program. Also i dont know what your going on about lightmaps . They will fix them selves. and wats uved?

Collision is part of anything that you cant walk through. Such as walls, tree's, vehicles, and of course, the BSP.

not what I meant.
and, no colision is not part of scenery or vehicles, it is completely seperatd.
you can still run the BSP through the HEK...

ruder · Post by **ruder** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:13 am

right i will tell you what happens, when you inject the BSP mesh by mesh the collision stays the same as the original map. This is where you have to hex edit the cordinates of each collision vertex to match the BSP mesh you just injected. This is the only way i have found of doing it without any program.

o and the lightmaps sort them self out yes, however they are going to be the original lightmaps but just strechted over the map. This only problem i am going to have with the lightmaps is inside the new base i have put in. This is due to the fact that there aint a base in the same place as there in the original coagulation.

and that is how a BSP injection works.

Lets not get off topic this is a thread to see if anyone would like to join our team or help us with this project.

Pyro Blizzard · Post by **Pyro Blizzard** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 10:19 pm

Im not a noob talin for your information. Thats what ive been told and and i dont know whats uved big deal. Now does anyone want to join snowmakers and help?

Talin64 · Post by **Talin64** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:07 pm

Sorry Pyro,
I have just been working on the sbsp tag and injection alot longer than most people here. So I know how much work and research is needed to do it. It is not as easy as most people think

superaison · Post by **superaison** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:19 am

Uh, I'm a n00b(well not really). But may i suggest usuing the BSP Tools high6 recently released? You can modify the collision easy with it!!!(incase u arent using it already)....Well thats me err yea w.e.

I am definitely with Talin64 on this one, the bsp is much too complex for a majority of the people here to tackle. The so-called "bsp-tools" released by everyone are just a bunch of hacked up applications that won't do you any good. If you really want to inject a full working bsp you will need to do lots of research, theres no easy way around it and thats the truth.
