[MOD] Camisado 1.3b. **UPDATED TO 1.3**

[_FC_Homies]

Camisado 1.3b (Bloodyspeedway) update by [Fǻ H

[InvaderVeex]

This looks download worthy!

[SL!P]

As much as I like the idea, this is, in part, a logmod. Those kind of racetracks... what sucks about them is that if you go anywhere near fast, you fall off. Besides, the one hog looks big time stretched.

Anyway, it could use a tune-up.
7/10

[_FC_Homies]

What warthog looks stretched? Be specific. There's FOUR different ones.
But just a question, did you even download it to see really see what it was like, or not? because I think you're missing the bigger picture here. Its nearly impossible to make an S.U.V. warthog that isn't stretchy on the back. All that is the texture coordinates being translated along with the vertices on the rear.
And the whole point, it's supposed to be challenging. It isn't my fault if you are horrid at driving and can't stay on the track. I made it as wide as I could, without making it look like too wide. Its actually fairly easy to stay atop the track.
& I would appreciate it if people wouldn't lable it simply as a "Log Mod". There's no logs at all in my map. Also, its so much more than a simple racetrack with models and bitmaps. It also features a few things that have never been done.

I'm not flaming. I've been here for a while, and before the forums changed I had uploaded LOADS of my warthog models. & a bunch of people liked them, too. You've only been here for a month, and released one simple mod, and it seems you're acting like you can do better.
If people are going to be negative about this, I want them to be specific, so I can fix it.

Yeah, I know it could use a small tune up. Thats why i stated that it was still in beta.

It also features a few things that have never been done.

Please do tell, I've seen nothing in here that hasn't been done before.

And for me, this is under the class of "Log Mods", just cause theres no logs in it does not mean that it's not just the same. You opened sparkedit and made a race track, whether you made it out of logs or not isn't that important.

Now for the good:

It seems like it'd be fun, I like that you have duplicated tags in the map, it seems like lately there havent been any really good mods released, and it's always nice to see some extra work put into one.

[warlord]

I'l give you a hint: Staff here dont like ripped halo 2 models period.
nor do they like people using Ce content when they dont give credit where due.
other than that its not much that ive not seen before maybe be more creative than a race track in bloodgulch?
deathisland could be a good place to start.

i agree with the things that bunny said below but my main thing was i was driving along and BAM! i would be hit with a huge lag spike. i was recording doing aout 80fps then it would just drop to 15 or so. weird. and it only seemed to happen in intervals. i didnt test all the equipment but was mainly concerned with the track itself since the centerpiece of this mod.

now the track is fun, but the downside is its only fun for 4 or 5 laps. after that i just lost interest in it. if i fell off i knew i had to drive all the way back to red base just to get back on it. the track does need to be bigger, alot bigger. if i was to try something like this i would do it on infinity. lots of open room and you could have the track go through the base opening where the beam shoots out of.

the weapons do need work and edit the lod's for the hogs in hht would be nice too. but my main concern i had was this lag spike i kept getting hit with. it could have been my comp acting up or it could have been the map, i have no clue.

gj on the layout of the vehicles but why is there bushes in front of the bases? i was like.. bushes in the sand? why?..lol. its nothing bad, it just threw me off for a sec.

i did make a little demo vid of the track itself if you would like to add to your original post for people to see it but in the vid you will notice the lag spikes i was speaking of.

vid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JSfIbc4zTzo

anywho.. i give this a overall 7/10 also. while it is cool it just seems unfinished in a sense. ive seen racetracks on bg before and not to recently someone made a launch ramp on here too. i tested this on the non-joiner map if that makes a difference.

thanks for the mod thoe.

EDIT: your map doesn't lag. i was checking some bitmaps in the library and noticed the same lag i was experiencing on your map in that SP map. the map doesn't lag. sorry for the mix up on that.

I tried this mod...and it needs alot of work/tuning up

Things that need work on:
First, the battle rifle..

1) Needs a new animation
2) It's projectile in halo 2 does not have a contrail
3) it does nothave 60 bullets in a clip
4) it does not have that kind of range or possibly damage (dunno cuz i havent killed anyone with it)

The "Halo 3 Assault Rifle"

Nothing like the Halo 3 Assault rifle except for the longer thing at the front (forgot what is called), and it has the battle rifle firing sound...gross.
If it had a new animation...it be better. Needs hexed names. It says "sniper rifle".

Active Scenery:
It makes me mad ..tryin out the track and BAM! i'm dead....like wtf? *quits game*

HUD:

Don't like the grenade counter at all

I don't think you made all the models yourself. The plasma rifle, and rocketlaunchers look exactly like the ones in l33t's model pack. Orr..is it just a coincidence that they look the same?

Good things about it:

Pmi'ed wraith..which is drivable with banshee gun (plasma with main gun) i like

The duplicated 'hogs are cool (could use farther away models instead of close up)

HUD:
Good job on the text colours

Magnum:
Like it, but could use some work
(try making your own animations)


Ratings:

Work/Effort: 9/10
Vehicles: 8/10
Weapons: 5.5/10
Race track: 9/10

All together, i'd give it a 7/10...Good job though, it's download worthy.

[bcnipod]

that spectre model and skin look like crap.

[_FC_Homies]

Yeah. Like I said, it's still in beta stage.
I agree that the Battle Rifle is a bit sketchy and it needs a better animation, and removed contrails. But with the whole animation thing, easier said than done. I would have to download Halo Editing Kit, learn how to create them, create them, then convert them. I think that's a little much for just some small animations?

Warlord, I extracted the spectre tag from the CE map "Extinction". Sorry about that. I'll put that in the credits.
And that plasma rifle model IS l33t's, I forgot about that because it was a minor part about the mod =P The rocket launcher is mine, though.

Also, I would fix the sounds on the assault rifle, but I'm not able to. Sorry. When you would go to inject the sound into the battle rifle sound tag, it overwrites the assault rifle tag, too.

Uh, bnicpod, you're being stupid. go play in traffic.
That model, nor skin was NOT created by me. I used CE tag conversion and swapped the dependency of the main bitmap to the banshee's bitmap. it looks alright to me. So if you were trying to "diss" or "burn" me, you failed. those weren't even my models, hah.

Deadhamster- I've never seen a mod with four different warthogs with individual models. Or there has never been a stunting device. If you would have read the readme, I stated that there was a stunting device on the S.U.V. type warthog. Its kind of like a controlled landing type thing for jumps, and whatnot.


Also, at the bottom of the first post, there's a link to one of my other mods. It's called Greenery Canyon, and I would recommend checking it out.

[UntalkativeBunny]

well, maybe if you duplicated the assault rifler than the sniper rifle to create the battle rifle, u couldve used InvaderVeex's halo 3 assault rifle animation, since the battle rifle is a remodel, the animation will work, and thus somewhat be like a halo 3 BATTLE RIFLE even though u stated its a halo 2 battle rifle. (possibly confusing, i dont care lmao)

I understand it's in the beta stage and needs alot of work.

And, be sure to try to get permision from the custom edition map creator to use his tags.

[_FC_Homies]

Uh, in extinction's readme it says Feel free to rip or reuse tags.

=]

[UntalkativeBunny]

ooo ok ...and what about CMT?

[DeadHamster]

Just because a mods never had four seperate warthogs doesnt mean it cant easily be done. Duplicate the reg. and rocket once each, and it's done.


As far as the stunt device, please elaborate further on what it is and what it does.

[Cryticfarm]

Whats so new?

[bcnipod]

Uh, bnicpod, you're being stupid. go play in traffic.

i was not trying to diss/burn you, i was stating a fact compared to other Spectres in other maps that one looks like crap.

[warlord]

Just because a mods never had four seperate warthogs doesnt mean it cant easily be done. Duplicate the reg. and rocket once each, and it's done.


As far as the stunt device, please elaborate further on what it is and what it does.

There was a mod a few years back with 6 warthogs and several duplicated tanks and wraiths.
oh and dont forget warthog wars which had like 5 differnt types of warthogs.

[Cryticfarm]

Needs more fun.

[_FC_Homies]

Deadhamster, I never said it can't be done. Stop jumping to conclusions. I was saying that I rarely see mods with duplicated vehicle tags. I'm not going to spoon feed ALL the details of the mod to you like a baby. Download it and see what the stunting device is.

warlord- Give me the link to that mod. I'd like you to back up your words for once. and also I never said there was stuff in here that couldn't be done. I was just saying that I rarely see things like stunting devices or vehicle tags duplicated.

UntalkativeBunny - Why you acting like your out to get me? Look in the tags and resources section of this forum. The CMT animation tags are in there. So I would appreciate it if you stopped.


My question is, why does everybody on this forum lately have to be so belligerent, pessimistic, and un-appreciative about nearly every mod on this site?

Stop treating me like a n00b, i've been here for awhile.

[warlord]

*sigh*...
the other mod i mentioned was wiped in a forum clean up a few years ago after the big halo 2 cheat scandal.
ive nothing to hide belive me ive been modding alot longer just havent released any for ages.
