Permission and Question

Nsomnia, that skin has some potential...

I'm curious, when you finish that skin would you let me use it for a mod I'm trying to make?

Here's the overview.

I am relatively new to modding and hacking, but fairly knowledgable. I just suck at skinning, I get horrible models.

I am currently working on a mod that transforms the banshee into a bomber. This is all the stuff that goes with it.

Number one. Primary fire is completely gone. You cannot shoot plasma. Instead, I took a leaf out of the Hog Wars book, no I didnt steal anything, and implemented a speed burst instead.
Recap: Primary Fire = Temporary Speed Burst (Length = Rocket Warthog firing cycle on automatic + reload time)

Number two. Secondary fire. This is the big mack daddy. No more wimpy fuel rod ;-) I'm going right for the bombs. Okay, so this is the score.
Instead of shooting a rod, the banshee does the equivalent of the MC chucking a grenade straight down, correction, slightly ahead of the banshee from whatever altitude you are at. Actually, thats exactly the routine I used, the MC chucking a grenade. I reskinned the projectile to look like a rocket without the smoke trail. Also, it is travelling at the speed of a grenade and it is pointed straight down. I'm working on generating a spiral in the bomb's decent as well.
The secondary fire utilizes the rocket warthog's firing system. Three shots, and a reload. This means you can drop three bombs and then reload.
Recap: Secondary fire = 3 bombs

Number three. I also am working on decreasing the space the banshee takes up in halo's space calculations so it can fly higher. Incidentally, since i dont know how to alter space calculations without shrinking a model, I'm most likely going to flatten the banshee skin.

Thats where you come in, Nsomnia. Your skin looks perfect for a bomber or fighter, it has the small speedy look to it. True, it can be improved a bit, but it is perfect in its concept. It looks nothing like the old shee, this skin looks like it has a whole new role in the covenant fleets.

Final Notes

I'm also going to try to add a plasma grenade sheen to the bomb, so it looks more Covvie, and maybe I'll keep the fuel rod explosion look to it. Or... combine it with a tank shell... Hmm...

Let me know what you think about this and please, Nsomnia, let me know if i can use that skin when you finish. Naturally, I would definitely give you massive credit if you let me, and if we both finish our mods I would list you as a co-developer. The skins are the most important part in a mod... if you got some diesel effects but a crappy animation/skin to it... the mod is a failure.

Later, let me know, man.

You are aware that skins and models are different, right? A skin changes the bitmaps and how it looks, a model changes the shape...
