Thanks

Jesus Christ. Dark is right.

You're a fucking moron.

Ever heard of SARCASM!

[Eaton]

How about you all cut the language and stop arguing.

DS: Lol.

[NotZachary82]

LOL TO THE MAX.

[Click16]

Enough Zach, I'm done arguing. I lowered myself to a level which I wish I was never at. Sorry.

[Aumaan Anubis]

SRS BUZINESS ALL UP IN HERE.

Click I like your compass/pointing thing on your gun.

Eh... WTF!?

Bad injection? Forgot to null the LODs? Maybe just a random error?

Hopefully tonight I can help you with some testing.

I found something that I have never seen in halo 2 accidentally. I injected a model over the fp_elite_legs (I needed 4 model chunks), linked the markers and nodes from the fp battle rifle. I got this result when I reloaded:


Ignore the crappiness of my model, I injected with Entity UE 1.6

1) Why are you injecting over really odd tags when you when just clone the Part chunk and LOD chunk and have extra parts to inject into right there?

2) Why are you injecting with E 1.6 when there is a PMI available?

Answer 1: When ever I clone "parts" the model always breaks my map.

Answer 2: I was using the separate shaders method you used for your 3rd ammo counter.

I ended up with this:









I will fix those holes in a bit... How did they get there?

1) That's probably because you do it to original tags.

2) Hahahaha, no you didn't. The method I used (on the AR a page back) isn't even possible with current model injectors.
But the other things I did to the tag meta would help you achieve your goal with the Entity PMI.

What you can do is duplicate the battle_rifle_fp tag.
Then copy a Part chunk(preferably chunk 0) and LOD chunk from the original br first person and paste those chunks into the duplicated battle_rifle_fp tag.
(Repeat for every additional shader you need.)

With those new chunks, inject objects that need different shaders into their own Part chunk.
And assign the different shader Indexes with the info you were given a short time back.

I was talking about when you made that gun that had 200 bullets, it had the 3rd ammo counter

Oh. That one was simple really.

I saved the gun over Part 1 and the three numbers over Part 0
Injected the model with normal Entity and again with Entity PMI.

I injected with normal Entity first so that I can have the three ammo counters. Since the tangents were not going to be used, it would not need to be PMI. I used hex to change the shader indexes after a long conversation with Jackson made me realize where the submesh info(and the three indexes) was at.

I injected with Entity PMI(even this was before the new PMI) to have the sexy PMI goodness on the gun(Part 1), of course the ammo counters were fucked into a single submesh.

So I then copied the working ammo counters(Part 0) from the Entity model and overwriten the ammo counters in the Entity PMI model.

Then I duplicated and edited the "tens" shader. The function is set to use 10 submaps(0,0,32,65) and I changed it to use only the numbers zero, one and two.(0,0,0,64) and the "primary_ammunition" stringID.

LOD?

The LOD reflexive. You add another chunk and set the LOD values to reference the new model Part chunk.

If you want help, make a topic since this one is for WIP photos.

[DarkShallFall]

Owned.

My Halo Assault Rifle. Extracted from Halo 1, Fixed by me, Small tweaks by me.

Ammo counter as well as the compass work correctly.



Aside from the shaders, this gun has a removable clip as well.





Tell me what you think.

Also one of the things I noticed, It needs that little bullet with the "X" at the bottom. I think i need a shader for that because i tried putting it on the bitmap, that failed.

[NotZachary82]

The numbers seem really stretched out, and off-centered .

[Click16]

Im fixing that now

[Jzimmer09]

What do you guys think?
Just a little something I've been working on, I also did the Alpha map but was too lazy to upload it.

[NotZachary82]

How does that look in-game? I see a few parts that are a bit crooked in the new skin.

But good job nonetheless.

[DemonicSandwich]

;_;
Why does my MA5C look like an inflatable? It's almost as if I could hug it.

Fear not Doom, you're model will see justice. Because when I do redo the smoothing, I shall do it by hand. < srs face.

Court is now in session.

There is still a section or two of mesh that needs to be smoothed(silver part under green button) and some smoothing errors need to be buffed clean.

Are you shitting bricks yet?

[JacksonCougar]

I like

[Jzimmer09]

OOoooo
Pretty

Is the model really detailed or is that a bump map?

[Click16]

Whats smoothing? Like I really don't notice it... I may sound stupid for not noticing it but seriously, what is it?
