I put together something while making the cake actually...

Now all I need is multiple shader groups.

That cake looks epic

What happened to the pie?

The cake won. Simple.

Looks like all you need is bone injection. Also did you fix the dam compression code? I needs it for conversions.

[JacksonCougar]

yes.

[Gary]

We need a bone importer/exporter...
well, first, I need to know how to add bones to models... hmmm
I know how it works and all, maybe when we get one, I'll just take the bones from MC and use them for my model.

And come on, I know what you said JC, but even without custom animations, PBI(And PBE) would be useful.
You could make cool looking moving parts on guns, custom vehicle would be easier, and you could even have a custom player, he would just have to use the current animations that we use now, but you could always mod the JMAD to "edit" the animations, much like DS does.

[DemonicSandwich]

I think he is gonna go a little smaller on the next improvement with multiple shaders groups.


In a typical Caboose voice:

[shock] "Oh. My. God. A giant birthday cake."
"Is it somebody's birthday?"

*short moment*

[shock] "It is my birthday?!"
"Why did no one tell me it was my birthday?"

Halo 2 modding is actually making progress... Very nice research!

Next do something other than model stuff because I despise modeling.

[Click16]

maybe if you learned and gave modeling a try, you might just like it. I can hook you up with some modeling programs, just AIM me

[Gary]

I enjoy modeling, I may use misfit, the only thing I hate about it is it can't UV map models... nor can it handle high poly models well...

Like what for example?

I have Milkshape, Misfit, 3ds Max, and Maya because my brother models.

1. Map Rebuilder
2. Tag Builder
3. Tag duplicator
4. Chunk cloner

^That really all I want.

[JacksonCougar]

Cake :D

4. Chunk cloner

^That really all I want.

We have all of those already, the bottom three being in Entity.

Though the rebuilder we have now is rather bad, too much performance needed.

[Gary]

Don't forget fully custom collision models...

Tag Builder - Corrupts transfered sounds, breaks map sometimes.
Tag Duplicator - Seems to corrupt meta. (As you and I discussed over AIM.)
Chunk Cloner - The "Clone" button needs to be fixed.

I want to be able to do most of the above without having to worry about map corruption and other things.

This may be improper or just takes too many steps but sometimes when I want to duplicate a tag I rename it in ADI then I extract it and rebuild it in entity. I works every time for me when I need to duplicate an effect.

This is why we make backups. Because Murphy's Law could be lurking around the corner at any time.

I had a discussion with Jackson about this law. Murphy's Law in it's shortened form says that "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."
I found a better statement that better suits modding.

"Anything that can possibly go wrong, does."

All and all, you just gotta know how to work the apps to work for you.

[Gary]

"Anything that can possibly go wrong, does."

Nice

[Eaton]

I literally have 10 backups of Floodout II. I've lost my place so I need to go back and see which one I am on. >.<

before PMI:
Don't ask what happened to his hand, he doesn't like to talk about it.


After PMI:

[Remnant Samurai]

Whoa niice

[Eaton]

Wow... Jackson really did do a good job on fixing it up.

[NotZachary82]

I want to mod again.

Badly.
