Ok so heres how to make a battle scene
ie:
This is very simple(2-4 min)
and this is about midway hard(20-40 min)
Ok so, first thing's first. You need to enable devmode as well as the console, you may do this by
1. Go to your desktop, right click on ur HaloCE
2. Go to properties
3. Go to the "Target" box
4. and add " -console -devmode" on the end
ie: If it said...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe"
then afterwards, it should say
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe" -console -devmode
*QUOTES ARE AS THEY APPEAR**THERE IS A SPACE BEFORE THE FIRST -*
ok, now hit apply and then ok
Now it is time to actully begin
load up haloce and pick a map,gametype.
After you are in the map, press the "~" key, this will enable the console(you may exit the console anytime by pressing the "~" key or hitting enter while it is empty)
the console is the little bar on the very bottom
Ok, so now you are in your map, with the console enabled
so here are the commands that we will be using
debug_camera_load
debug_camera_save
cheat_teleport_to_camera
Steps
1. type in "debug_camera_load" (no quotes), this will bring you to the cameras view, and you can move around by holding down the middle mouse botton and move your mouse around, this is how you can look around
to move around, hold down the middle mouse button and u can use the standard w,a,s,d to move foward,left,backwards, and right.
and to move up and down, hole down the middle mouse button and press r to move up, and f to move down
VERY IMPORTANT
by default, the camera moves slow as hell, you can incres/decrese the speed by scrolling the middle mouse button
ok, so now you r gonna spend 20 minutes playing around with this(I did :--)
so now move the camera into a place where you want the camera scene to be
after you are satasfied with the camera position, type in "debug_camera_save" This will save the current position
so now the fun(heh) starts
you can do this many ways
you can bring the MC to your cameras position simply by typeing "cheat_teleport_to_camera"
now bring the MC where you want him, and take a screenshot
open up your picture in a picture editor (photoshop is widely used, u can go get the demo at there site......or pay like 500$.....or use a crack :--)
ok, now move the MC agin(to the other place that you want him at), and take antoher screenshot
now in your picture editor, go to the second screenshot that you took, and select the MC/vehicle/(w/e you have) and after you have it selected it hit Ctrl+C(this will copy it)
Now move into your origonal screenshot and hit Ctrl+V(this will paste it)
Now you must position it to where it looks like it was ment 2 b there
you should zoom in,(use ur arrow key to move pixel by pixel
you can repeat this untill you are happy
note that lighting is critical, ir you are fireing a gun, make sure u include all of the lighting, SHAWDOWS, shawdows are the most importsnt thing, dont for get to include them
heres an ex:
I positioned the camera, then typed "debug_camera_save"
So first i did the tank(see below on how i got it here)
I did the tank first because it emits light, and it is alot easier
After taking a screenshot, I switched teams, then i ran and got the flag, and stood where i wanted to be, then I typed "debug_camera_load"
this brings you back to your saved position
then i took a screenshot, then opened it up in photoshop(you probably could use paint for this one
the i selected the MC, copied, then went into the origonal and paste it, and manuvered it into the correct position
whew, alota typing
VERY IMPORTANT, here are some commands that are very fon 2 screw around with
