Half-Assed Attempt at Wraith +Pic

The Ghost · Post by **The Ghost** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 8:10 pm

All right. So I've been making my map for a week or two now, and I thought it was looking pretty good. And then I realized, okay wtf everyone is making maps we gotta go somewhere else. I may continue with my map when summer vacation starts, but I think some people have to focus elsewhere.

So I spent a few hours tonight looking in to the Wraith. Everyone was going pretty peachy until I was importing my vehicle into Sapien, at which point it gave me an error with my animation graph. I double checked all of my files but couldn't see anything wrong.

Possibilities:
-- I'm missing a seat?

I can't really think of anything right now. If anyone knows what may be going on or if anyone else knows what they're doing and would also like to see the Wraith in multiplayer Halo: CE action, please respond.

Because I couldn't get the animation thing to match, it wouldn't let me see it, so I just wanted to show you all how beautiful it is and how we should really try for this and making other new things (like vehicles and weapons) instead of just maps (plenty of those -- good ones -- will come).

Thank you.

P.S.: Yes, "The Ghost" is working on the Wraith.

It's just a test, obviously.

Anyways, the SP vehicles are missing a lot of crucial information from SP (As in the actual .vehicle tag and some other tags.), so they can't really run at all in MP except as some simple scenery.

Yes, but I've recreated most of those tags in Guerilla. You can make everything you need in Guerilla, but every time I go to place it in the level, it tells me that the animation graph doesn't match the model or whatever. Does anyone know what to do?

And yes, obviously I'm not trying to put the Wraith in the Tutorial map, like Dark Cloud said, it was just a test.

Forgot about Guerilla... hmm... Look around at some of the vehicle tags for the other Covenant Vehicles, like the Ghost, and then compare what areas of the .vehicle tag are filled in with the new .vehicle tag for the wraith. The animations needed for the vehicle may not be with the rest of the tags, rendering the vehicle almost un-usable/placable...

Yeah, that's what I did. I pretty much ripped off all of the Ghost's tags. I mean I have all of the tags that I thought were needed to do this. Maybe I do but something isn't referenced correctly.

Well... I'm pretty sure that the animations for the Ghost would cause errors for the Wraith. After all... different parts, different components, completely different sizes/models... I don't think they'd work, really.

I'm about to close this topic, but when looking at the animations tag, the reason I thought it would work is because there is no actual model information. It never references any of the models of the Ghost/Wraith. But yeah. I'm moving on; I'll let someone else figure this out.

Overkill, it would be funny though, you just have this big ass Wraith in this small level, who ever gets it is gonna rack in some kills...it would be funny with 16 players..yeh, looking good so far...

Well, rockets only would definently be quite fun!

Rockets only would make you a sitting duck in the Wraith though

Exactly.

"Screw the Wraith."
"o.O"
"..."
"WTF ARE YOU DOING!?!"
"DON'T BE SO LITERAL!!!"

ok... I'll stop spamming now.

Yes, please. lol

I remember driving the Wraith in Halo PC and it wasn't my favorite vehicle. I mean it's hot and all but it should have a primary/secondary fire kinda thing. It's like having a Scorpion tank that could only shoot slow-moving, arching shells with no chain gun. That's why I'm not really that eager with this one.

I wonder WHY Gearbox didn't include SP vehicles.
I mean, we can make them drivable, why not for CE?
