An engineering idea / proposal for limitless forge possibili

when we are able to figure out the deal with the ping filter and maybe after some stuff has been developed for H3 modding i want to mod my 360 and try to see if we can archive this through model injections and a bsp conversion. (as far as terrain editing goes)

You mean like, everything?

We're a long way from any such modding whatsoever. At this rate, you're looking at years in the future.

Id say 6 months...because there are 2 options, if the hybrid 360 becomes more easily aquired or CFW comes out

That or the magic resigner

And at what point in your scenario do proper modding applications with such capabilities come out?

No where, Im just saying from those 2 possibilities I think 6 months

That's only part of it though. Considering there is little to no progress modding-wise, that 6 month time frame doesn't really matter. If you don't have a tool that can inject models, it doesn't matter if you have a console that can run mods, because you still can't inject said models, as he said he was waiting for...

Good point, but once H3 becomes more publicly moddable, more apps will be released, so, what do you think? A year - a year and a half?

Accurate estimating accomplishes nothing, as there's no way of knowing at all. Personally, I don't really care if H3 modding never becomes a reality, or if it happens tomorrow.

I do, I just cant wait to see what I can make with H3 modding

Wow, I actually LOL'd in IRL.

You really have no idea about the process of making games, let alone how Bungie does things, nor their engine's tech.

Further more, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

EDIT: the OP

Are you talking to me or the OP?

For the light problem I propose just putting in a shader. A clear surface that you just can add darkness to. That way the normal light would pass through it and you could just make it lighter or darker. I do like this idea. I have been thinking of that for a while. They already have a great map editor. Why not let more stuff go into it. I sort of think they need more stuff. I have run out of walls so often it just aggravates me. Possibly even floor panels that you could place and select and option called "fix in place" Good for taking the initiative.
