My first real mod in the making(PICS ARE UPDATED AGAIN)

AbeFroman · Post by **AbeFroman** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 7:46 pm

ive been doing nothing but working on this mod for a couple days, got the bitmaps.map working which is the only thing screenshots can capture.
So im gonna take a break for a couple days from making it.

the idea is making Halo more realistic.
IE making the assault rifle more accurate and having a higher ROF, giving the sniper more rounds and letting it shoot faster putting camo back into the marines, stuff like that.
Details will be given upon release, but i will post pics of all the bitmaps now in this thread.
I tried to pack as many things as possible into each pic, cuz there are quite a few new textures

BTW, the AR reticule in the first pic is the one that will be in the final mod, the other ones were taken before i finished the skin for the reticule

1. Assault rifle and pelican bay

Desert hog, desert scorpion, and woodland camo sniper(update)

New lag symbol

just cuz i didn't like the blue version of the 3 shotgun glowy things, and 3rd person pic of the sniper(update)

snow warthog, 2 camo marines, and 1 "camo" pelican (update)

and a camo skin for the master chief(big update) that will work with any color, and to prove it, I took pics of multiple colors

The skins are NOT final, feedback helps me make them better for the final version

skins to improve based on feedback:
Master chief (done)
Sniper rifle (done)
pelican (done)
marine armored (done)

First off, AbeFroman, I see you doing some really good stuff in the future.
This is your first mod? Wow! I like the Higher accuracy on the AR, but not the higher ROF. I dont really like that AR display. That Sniper is very good, if its supposed to be Digital Camo. The MC Camo looks more like designs on the armor, try making a more digital one. lolz at chuck norris!

If you need some help with testing, please tell me.

Cant wait to see this finished!

Does anyone know what the true meaning of Camoflauge is?
It was made to break your outline, not to hide you.

Constructive critiscism my friend. No one will get better if we sugar coat it.

Corvette, I'm tired of seeing you be so mean to everyone. You're turning into another Brightside.

Looking nice so far, though.

Looks great, Keep it up

Battle cruiser? That sounds like something from a cheap sci-fi b-movie. I think you ought to change it.

The sniper is ok, aside from the fact that, like cobain said, it looks like a camo picture with a transparent overlay.

The assault rifle counter is pretty cool, and I think theres a way to make it sort of have a Halo 2 sniper scope effect.

The biped camo is ok, but it doesnt look like a camo.

It's good so far, especially for a first mod. Just keep working on it and it'll be a mod worthy of great recognition.

unless you have something display on the AR HUD, such as if you have it pointed at an elite, and you can see the elite on the HUD, then get rid of the teal lines on it.

yeah, thats what i did for the sniper and MC, then i found out a better strategy when i got to the marine's camo, ill take a pic, lemme know if u think i should re-do those for the final

high resolution so u can see the camo better

i was thinking of that but i didn't know how to do that
also, im planning on putting a scope on the AR so thats what that design is supposed to be

As for the mod, looking good so far, but pelican looks a little plain

don't worry about corvette guys, bad feedback is good, lets me know what to fix for the release

if its supposed to be Digital Camo

all the camo skins were based off this:

pretty sure its USMC digital woodland camo

Wow.

You think THAT is HARSH? Go to Pirate 4x4, and ask about what the forum did to Charlie Wenzel.

Who said I am getting angry? Im saying what Corvette said was NOT harsh. It was constructive critism.

Anywho, I like these mods that you are working on.

I was only kidding :3

Please no more useless banter among yourselves that has nothing to do with this WIP.
The PM button is there for a purpose.

Otherwise, this mod looks like it has potential to do stuff.
I'd suggest making the jump height no-so-high to make it realistic (know of anyone that can jump onto another person's head?), else you're still in the Spartan Era with his enhanced body.

Corvette19 · Post by **Corvette19** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 7:07 pm

I'm not being mean, but Honest.
I speak my mind, I dont like to sugar coat anything.
Like I said before, No one will get better if we sugar coat it.

ON-TOPIC: That Marine is plain green, I hope that is a place holder, it would look awesome with some digital woodland. BTW I really like that Assault Rifle aimer.
