HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

back from the UK.... nice sonictag! it's an amazing city and a GREAT campus for all things game related. hope to see you there!

Heading off to England for a week to check out my uni for next year.... BA in Games Art and Design! Yessssss! leave me lots of love letters/posts.
Have a good one everybody.

haha yay! people are talking! sorry, i fell asleep for a month there. busy busy. yes, it's still in production, yes, it's just me working on them, yes this is the third build of Cot

ads are in cities. this is a city. the most abundant thing in cities other than road, concrete, or metal, is probably advertisement. we live in a consumer culture... ads are EVERYWHERE. next time anyone goes downtown to a metropolitan city (toronto in my case), count just how many ads you see of any...

well the thing is, the covenant haven't been to Cot

thanks for the replies, and thank you ignite for the kind comments. they went to my cold, dark, mapping heart. [gx] shadow... add me to AIM with theAndrewMatlock (i have no idea how aim works and am very confused by it), or MSN with theandrewmatlock@hotmail.com (the messenger service that i know and...

wow i can't believe this thread is still on the first page. i'm ashamed, but i've neglected cot

*cough*GrabIt*cough*

thank you for the honest opinion with the human ads... it's a valid point. i like having them there as a reminder to make everything else as realistic as possible... it ups the standard. the random ai's sound like a difficult sequence.. maybe it would be a project after i get the initial map by itse...

the point of the ad is to contrast with the ghetto disctrict, "le quartier" below it.... the poor area is what was left behind after urban revitalization in the city.... the ghetto is a last tribute to ancient architecture. don't worry though, the municiple planners of Cot

actually I started an airport concept last october with General Church.... i designed it and gave some intitial concepts. i got busy so it dropped off for a while, but now Church has taken it up again with his new team. It's a futuristic UNSC airport/spaceport.... which down't have a tarmac... just ...

haha don't worry... this is one of three billboards with a sense of humour... everything else is purely realistic. i just thought this was a nice touch over the ghetto district
thank you for the honest insight

i've transfered most of my halomods time over to the pictures area over in the files forum... seem to get more response there, but this thread is my home, so here's some more pics that i've published :) http://amatlock.ekincade.com/9_cote_19.jpg http://amatlock.ekincade.com/9_cote_20.jpg http://amat...

no, that map is currently in permanent hiatus... i'll probably get back to it after everything i'm doing now... the problem is is that was literally my first map in max, and going back, it looks U G L Y. I'd probably just redo it if i were to release it.

umm.... no i think i'll finish it first

oh cool! can you give me fire???

i'd hate to download the HEK or Halo CE with 56k

a lot of those ideas sounded scripted, which sadly isn't possible in halo ce. the zero-g jumping in space is cool, but i don't think it's possible to be able to change gravity, and for that matter, you'd need 'walls' on the map, something that would make open space tricky to create. i don't thtink f...

i'm not sure about this, but is there a maximum to textures in a map? i know increased polies slows things down, so does the same principle apply to textures? if so what's a good maximum? i'm hoping it's a lot <crosses fingers and hugs TIFs in cot

you can also render any view.... usually 'top' is very useful for actual technical purposes, but 'perspective' is best for seeing 3 dimensionally what your project will look like in game, and for posting here. press F10 to get to the render window and from there you can choose the view at the very b...
