[Mod][App] Onyx - Halo 2 Map Builder
Onyx - Map Builder
After waiting many years for someone to come out with something that would make custom BSP a reality for Halo 2 I decided that I wanted to do something that would help make it a somewhat reality.
In partnership with -DeToX- we decided to bring something new and interesting to the table.
You can essentially model a custom map or object and use this application to fix the lack of collision.
Moving and sizing collision boxes in real time will make things a whole lot easier on everyone,
although it is still a lot of work, its a fun and unique way to mod. I hope everyone that is still modding Halo 2 will create something wonderful and fun with this application.
An example map will be included with the files below, you can look at this to see how and what you will do to create your map.
The map by default has 50 collision boxes and 100 placements, you can clone as many boxes or placements as you want using entity, the application will auto detect the new items.
The maps has many different helpful items, the HUD shows information about the map, there is also an X Y Z axis widget in the center of the map that will help you with placement.
Do not under any circumstances place anything over you player spawn, this will result in your player to not re spawning.
The collision test gun is in this map to help you get you collision as close to perfect as possible, when the projectile hits the collision box it will leave a permanent red dot, which will indicate the bounds of the collision.
The application with the map loaded.
Collision testing gun and HUD.
Collision Testing.
A collision box.
An example of what the collision of an object could look like after completion.
1000 words...
Special thanks to Xbox7887 for Revert GameState Code and to Neodos for phmo and coll research.
Enjoy.
Rar below includes:
Onyx Application
Onyx Map
Example Map(House)
Download
Video Tut Download(62mb)

Re: [Mod][App] Onyx - Halo 2 Map Build
This is prolly the most motivational picture...
...and i actually know what Yaw, Pitch, and Roll are now thx to my engineering handbooks class (i use a 2600+ page machinery's handbook for this class -.-)
Just maybe if someone gets confused about yaw, pitch, and roll when it comes to rotaing models and collision, here is a picture, or a couple, i took of a small diagram from my machinery's handbook...
Yes, they are blurry, camers dont like close-up photos...
to clear what the words are, starting from the top center and going clockwise (right -.-)...
Up
Aft
Pitch
Left
Down
Roll
Fore
Right
Yaw (center)

Re: [Mod][App] Onyx - Halo 2 Map Build

Do you have to do the collision for each part like the roof and stuff?
Also how long does it take?

Re: [Mod][App] Onyx - Halo 2 Map Build
By the look the the title, I thought it was a better H2Core... But this looks very interesting. I'm going to use it because I love RTH.

Re: [Mod][App] Onyx - Halo 2 Map Build
I know i probably sound stupid for asking, but I'm guessing you need working RTH for this to work? Could anyone tell me how to get working RTH? I apologize if this is against the rules

Dark you remind me of my friend Ian during the vid.
