Halo RUBY

Kitsune · Post by **Kitsune** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 2:41 pm

I'm going to be dead honest here.. this could've been so much better dude.

What I DIDN'T like:

1)

FrozenMuffinofDoom wrote:nice mod, but I don't think this was taken TOO seriously.

2) You didn't skin all of the effect bitmaps... like the plasma coming off the weapons, the burning effects and bullet holes.. and whats with the yellow AR? And that camera vehicle thing is really annoying lol

3) I think you got lazy, or maybe you need a better video card so you can clearly see this...

4) You didn't make the textures match everything... it really messes up the theme of the map. Like infinity, the metal is that tacky red/white skin while everything else is a totally different color.

5) This could've been so much better

Not hating here dude, just being honest...

What DID I like?

Death Island. The snowy textures and making the water Ice (well, kinda...) is sweet. I see you tried to a sky like I first saw in the pepness project.. you messed up with the make camoflouge bitmap or something.. But nice none the less.

Timberland. Loved the textures (MOST of them.. damn that tacky metal)

The boarding action sky. Looked good for the most part!

***EDITED***
3/10 from me

2/10

why? cause the wip had all thoes pages of people trying to help and giving mad advice and this is what happened? the textures are lacking alot, everything looks rushed and uncompleted and if i didnt say "ruby" on it i thought it would be the "Halo: Brighten Your Bitmaps Yo!" mod or something. None of the maps are even portrayed with the same theme as the UI would suggest when seeing it.

Now in fact it does look like something straight out of pokemon. Basically like a child would like it cause they wouldnt care about things actually looking good but more about "Colors! YAY!" >_>

You had a awesome idea and let all your WIP feedback make you think your mod was really for release when in fact it wasnt. not even close to being finished and if you call this finished then this is no better then the other mods youve done except you managed to add "your touch" to a bunch of bitmaps this time.

I mean the inside of the timbo base is aweful! it doesnt even flow at all. bg looks like a pack of skittles blew up in it. ughh.. i have no more to say...

2/10 my final for this.

You need moar effort into your mods.

Seems like you ignored everyone's countless advice and created what looks like something out of a Dr. Suess book. "Halo: Green eggs n' ham"

Rather than the good mod that this was all cracked up to be. I mean, that yellow assault rifle is from that one pulse rifle remodel, right? Regardless, it looks like the mediocre skin from hell that nobody wants to see.

this looks absolutely horrid and can be done very quickly by alot of other people.

It's getting to be a lame cliche', like watching old X-Files re-runs. Work on a single mod first before attempting a large overhaul which in turn is really a downgrade in my opinion. You're a beginner, you aren't ready for mods like this yet.

Seek help with modding.
And to save future embarrassment, use much more effort instead of wasting megabytes on your HD.

haha. that made me laugh. Like he could.. /sarcasm
as long as it's in his hands, its going to be even more of an epic phail.

saw the new pictures...I dont like them. Just fyi...That DI and timberland base ground skin is a filter...Filters like that dont usually make good skins.

Sorry but: 1/10 (The 1 for the okay title screen, as well as a few other things)

Needs moar less eye hurty.

I really suggest, taking a few weeks or so actually learning how to make decent skins, and not using filters, go take half an hour or so revising Pepsi's skinning tutorial.

oh yeah, the pillar of autumn skin looks like it got Shit smears all over it!

The colors are too bright and random; you should make them more balanced. And put more work into that AR skin; it makes me want to puke.

Some are fantastic, others meh. I really like how you changed the setting of multiplayer maps, such as making infinity a desert.

I don't like the floor image or the yellow assault rifle.

Cobain · Post by **Cobain** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 8:15 pm

i could make those floor skins no problem...but that is no matter...cause i do like it quite a bit....that is just about the only part i like though....sorry....but yeah..just keep workin gon it.

I fail to agree.

Firstly, this isn't even finished. Don't ever release a mod if it isn't finished. The only exception is you can't finish it for some reason (Halo DX).
Secondly, you spelt sapphire wrong. That really takes the shine off.
Thirdly, and I'm getting quite near the end now, the textures are awful. No, they really are. They look crap even on a good graphics card, and that's never good.
Finally, you didn't explain any changes that can't be seen in the pictures. If this is meant to be just a skin mod, it phails. However, I like it how you've managed to pull yourself together and try to make something good.
5/10 for effort
2/10 for final outcome and presentation

The other exception is Halo Cel shaded.

I was giving an example of an exception, but yes, that's true.

Indeed.

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:22 am

Why did he get banned or did I miss something? I know the dude was lacking in modding itself but making poor mods isnt reason for banishment unless its something very out there eg: porn or something.

Can I use my cluepon for this one plz?

bcnipod · Post by **bcnipod** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:35 am

I think he got banned from hating Tural.
