[Mod] SnowSquall Island

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:21 pm

Hey guys,

I just would like to start by thanking each and every one of you of helping me with this mod. This mod takes place on Death Island, with a totally new look. Death island is now a frozen, snowy, cold and horrible place to be. There are several brand new things which stand out in this mod:

- cliff texture (edited by me)
- jahrain's master chief biped
- drivable pelican
- drivable covenant dropship
- drivable wraith
- drivable lifepod
- brand new sky (asides from the planets and ring)
- blowing snow
- incredibly windy
- new backround sounds, includes windswirls and erriewinds
- death island ground texture (re-skinned by me)
- warthog chained tires (also mine)
- rocket warthog chained tires (again mine)
- scorpion chained tires (mine..)
- "frozen" ocean. cosmetically it looks frozen, but phyisically still water.
- enhanced shader environment detail
- snowy rocks and snowy pine trees

Please note that all of the textures like the cliff, snow detail, were originally from the assault on the control room single player campaign map, they were edited by me.

Screenshots/Pictures: (note: these were taken BEFORE i added the new vehicles to the scenario.)

If you are going to use anything from this you must give me credit for it. Please enjoy this mod and if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it all ! (unless they are suggestions)

Bug: December 3rd 2007

- When entering the lifepod, you cannot move, by default the lifepod is set on "Alien fighter" in the vehicle tag. If you want, you can open the map in HMT and change it to "Human plane". Thank You.

This looks great, one of the best snow island levels I have ever seen. 10/10, you deserve it.

I played, and It's really cool.

You should change Pelican/Spirit spawn place

Btw, that's a hurricane?God, so much wind

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:00 pm

a snowsquall is similar to a hurricane.

here are some of the details of the one here in nova scotia:

90-100km/h wins
15-20cm of snow
-6 degrees celcius with a -17 wind chill
blowing snow, white out conditions.

yeah...but don't worry, i've attempted to get rid of it and re-skining it...but i just cant. i know it stands out like a sore thumb.

Congratulations, this has earned the very elusive download of The DeadHamster.

I think I've downloaded 4-5 mods since I've been on the site, I never really download anything, but this is actually worth doing. I'll post an edit with the grade.

Edit: There were a few errors, based on my download the Lifepod and C-Dropship dont work.

Based on your screens, the skins look spectacular
(I dont grade skins on my computer because my Graphics suck.)

Overall, 9.5/10.

Good Work.

EDIT: ah hell, the lifepod has a bug when u pmi it, it automatically sets it to "Alien fighter" when it should be "Human Plane"... if u dont mind, would u check that off in hmt and possibly give a better rating (not saying its low or anything).

the c-dropship works, just a shitty view. its the best i could do with first person. the one on the red side of the base is crashed into the cliff for a reason. the one on the blue base is okay to driv.e

But thanks for the awesome grades/ratings guys!

Man this sucks, I recently uploaded a mod alot like this except for the fact that its just a bunch of vehicles and no other kicks. This sucks, I got my hopes up for no reason.

Sigh....
nice mod...

what?

antszy101 · Post by **antszy101** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 6:30 pm

The sky needs a couple of fixes. Most notably the planets and clouds don't match with the rest of the sky and the overall brightness needs to be lowered to match the rest of the skin. But other than that...very good.

Wow, that looks nice. Good job, 10/10. I love how there's actual trees besides on the top(If there are some?) of Death Island.
