halomods CXE - (CUSTOM XBOX EDITION)

blink182house · Post by **blink182house** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 10:14 pm

Here's a quicky I made :

Keep in mind, this is a Halo PC screenshot edited (so not as many menu-options), The graphics/editing will look MUCH better (and less jaggy) on xbox, I'd like to remove the Halo in the background in the original, the image below is not centered, I had to cut the top of it and move it all around, so nothing is even with each other.

I can make the one I just made a 'quicky' of... I could have it done by tomorrow night. The only thing is that I don't know how to remove the spinning Halo behind it, UltraMagnus is going to tell me soon though (when he checks his PM's next).

Ok some of us are getting antsy.. with good reason!! lol Only problem is we only have 15 maps that we have permission to use so far, all chosen by me! If you guys don't put up your suggestions too, we might as well call it GoatNinja map pack...lol (just illustrating a point... i really don't want to be the only one providing suggestions for maps). 5 pages of posts and not 1 addition to my list!!! (blink you gonna post your links or what? lol). IF YOU WANT A MAP ADDED TO THE PACK, POST A REQUEST FOR IT WITH A LINK TO IT, THEN PM THE MODDER WHO MADE IT FOR PERMISSION!!!! WE DESPERATELY NEED MORE CONFIRMED MAP SUBMISSIONS!!!

If you guys want to start on the vote now, then I think we can go ahead and do it, the poll options here r too limited, if no one disagrees, we'll keep access to you(junit), myself and jkjk (reminding you all that there is NO boss for this project, everything is up for discussion so please post your opinion on anything, chances are you will have your way) blink can be in charge of the graphics (again with feedback from ALL of us and the final decision will be up to ALL of us). And if anyone wants to help him or send their own work, adress to him (ok with you blink?)

If possible junit, provide a link to the map in the poll (copy and paste the links from the first post) and keep a record of the date you put the map up (it will be necessary to take time into account, since some maps will be added) We will also have to limit the choices that someone can make to 13 (don't know if that's possible, if not we'll see how well it works, hopefully we can also get a poll record to look for inconsistencies caused by the limitations of the poll)

I have some more thoughts on the name based on my experiences as the moderator in the kai NMP arena.... the most common question, was "what's nmp?", eventually i had to answer constantly "do you have a modded box?" because most of the time they didn't even know it was a set of maps let alone that you need a modded box. People would 'screw up' games over and over, I would contact them by every available means, but rarely got through, so i had to constantly resort to 'guessing' who they were and kick them. I spent MOST of my time doing this. In fact, at ANY given time, if you were to join 10 games in a row with different people, 8 of those games would screw up!!!!!

I'm proposing we call the map pack HALOMODS CXE or whatever acronym we decide on. This way:

1-Those who have no idea what halomods is will see the word "mods" and hopefully associate it with needing a modded box
2-Those who do know what halomods is will obviously also know you need a modded box
3-People willl know where it came from and come here
4-halomods already has a lot of name recognition and this will help spread the maps
5- this is a completely a halomods community project (cxe can also stand for community xbox edition), so why not name it halomods?

What do you think????

Halo Mods CXE sounds good to me (we should make Halo and Mods seperate words though so we can seperate them on the UI)

And I'm cool with managing the graphics, but if anyone else wants to submit anything I'll take it (I may not use it or whatever, but there're a lot better ideas than just mine).

Oh, PS: I just got the ring removed in my personal UI, so I now know how to do that (thanks to UltraMangus).

The words would have to separated? I was really hoping to use the original name so there would be no question about where it came from, I'd even like it to be all lowercase like it is here.... but if it isn't possible, we can still name the kai room halomods CXE or even "halomods.com CXE". That would still solve most of the kai problems. We'd still have to get permission from whoever owns the rights to that name though.

Glad to hear you're onboard for the graphics... if we're allowed to use the name could you look into the possibilty of having the ui say that too?

ONE MORE THING, THE LINKS TO YOUR MAP SUBMISSIONS!!!!!

Last thing.. i just realized lightning wants in on the graphics too, so maybe he can make the official cd cover, and you guys can dicuss how to make the ui and cd cover consistent with eachother.

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Here, let me show you what I'm saying about seperating 'halo' and 'mods'.

Does anyone know what font 'halomods' is at the icon at the top of the forum is in?!

goatninja · Post by **goatninja** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 9:36 am

ohhh i see, you're fast!!!, what about taking the halo out altogether and replacing it (not sure if anyone else likes this idea.... again, we'll vote on this too, lol). But if not, it should still be ok, the kai room is where it will be most important anyway...But... We can also make an official logo!!! (that we can put on forum sigs and stuff!!!!) what do you think of that?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm going to do that, I think it'd look better... but hey, I was going to try and make it look the same as 'halomods' at the top... but I don't know what font it is (and that image up there is too small).

blink182house · Post by **blink182house** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 1:11 pm

Can I suggest REMOVING all NMP maps from this? This is a completely different thing, and NMP is doing their own thing. Let their maps be THEIR's and THEIR's ONLY! (that's what I think)

i completely agree. This is a user created map pack (not that ultramagnus isnt a user, he is an Uber-User!

) So why put someone elses map pack maps in this map pack. We all know that we will have nmp on our xboxes as well, so why use the same mods twice!?

yea so lets set up a poll with the most popular mods as choices and we'll pick em. Just make sure my damnation mod gets in and im all for it! lol jk but that would be cool.

ww3.5 and inmate and starwars and goldeneye temple and nightfall and plateau should DEFINITELY be in there - just need to pick what else, (ice gulch , gt dammy, a good paintball mod. . . and the hoggin in hangem high hog em high hang em hog wart em low hog high WHATEVER THE HELL ITS CALLED . . put that in too
