Halo 2 Photography

On ascension and that second map, does the rock surface have collision?

[NotZachary82]

How much collision does the terrain have? Is it just the flat area, or is there something else you're using to substitute the hills?

Its a toybox style collision for the first and a wave for the cliff.

[XZodia]

So you can't walk on the hills?

The first was his onyx map.

Hey Demonic will this map ever be finished?

I believe he abandoned the project because after injecting the required boxes to act as collision, the map would fail to load...

[Ogrish]

So why not inject those models into a clean onyx map, that already has the box's for collision.

I've been having that same damn problem.

I've been having that same damn problem.

I'm trying to get back into modding, I can help you out if you like...

[DoorM4n]

I just now got onyx blocs in my map so a really great things occurred there. I will let you know if I need some help. I may need help with weapon effects and a high detail map skin. If others would like to take on a role in Tortuga, that would be great! If not, de nada. I can handle most of it or i'll ask a question on the Modding Discussion thread!

Oh yeah! Minecraft addiction meets halo:


More progress:

[XZodia]

I forsee a debug minecraft mod...

[Click16]

I don't really know where I'm going to go with this. I might actually make some neat stuff, but I'm not sure if I really want to finish. I pretty much wanted to put a block into halo.

[xxpenguinxx]

Make a mining map. Have each ore drop a certain weapon and/or have it shoot the ore's color ammo. The more you mine the more ammo and weapons you get.

I think you can make an itmc spawn a random block so ore doesn't spawn the same each round.

Walking along 200 MACHs (spaced at 0.5f X-Position apart):


Viewing half of the 200 MACHS and 200 jumppads stacked on top of each other (0.5f Z-Position spacing apart) (VERTICAL GREEN GLOW):


Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...

That's SO incredible! Did you manually space them apart at a 0.5 or did you use an app?

[troymac1ure]

Temporarily modified Entity's "Copy to All Reflexives" code to add 0.5f to the X-Position on the Arms & 0.5f to the Z-Position on the jumppad. I wasn't about to manually do them all

[DarkShallFall]

purple shadows, for the warm mood

hahaha, now that makes a lot of sense, hah.

Dang dark, that looks awesome! I may try to get your shadow method on some of my models.

That's realtime shadows.

[DarkShallFall]

[Ogrish]

looking good, what did you use for the lighting?

[Gary]

It's a real time shadow casting light, loads shadow information into a depth texture storied in VRAM(Shadowmapping). Suffers from bleeding and ghosting due to the limits on memory and bandwidth.

This is [ligh] tag used for the hanging lights in Zanzibar.

Un-check "No Shadows" and make sure it's projective. It's rare to see any game with realtime shadowmapped point lights even now a days.

Some notes:
Smaller FOV, sharper and more accurate shadows.
Objects closer to the light will cast nicer shadows then objects farther from the light.

Dark, can you post a picture of your custom model shader tag's dependencies so I know how to make my custom models as beautiful as yours. I'm on the verge of posting pics of my map but I cant get my models to be so brightly lit and as perfect as yours. Your help is much appreciated. I will give you credit in my map, also. It is that imperative to me.
