Lifepod (team?)

MasterNeoChief · Post by **MasterNeoChief** » Thu Apr 15, 2004 1:04 pm

I wanna make the Lifepod more useable...
Like really carrying passengers and such.
It would be a nice addition.
You would have one Pilot, and more people passengers.
You can crash on the enemy surface and such.
Maybe a Pelican could drop a Lifepod?
Anyone wanna help a bit making this happen?

I'm working on POD Gulch, so I've seen all the different Lifepod vehicles. So, unless someone can add seats to it, it's not going to be possible to carry any more than 2 people, including the pilot.

well, I was the original Lifepod guy, so I will help... but anyway, I dont really think we'd be able to add seats... Im sure its possoble, but when you figure it out, tell me

even if it only carried two ppl, it would still be useful to quickly drop in, steal the flag, and run like hell....assuming you can take off after you "crash"

I believe that it is possible but i have no idea how. In Mono's 3.5 readme it says something about adding blank meta and giving a vehicle extra seats. I have absolutley not the faintest idea how to do that, but i think it is possible

well... i got an idea.. basicly it puts in blank space (e.g.: one more spot to put sumting in.) and if u copy a seat, rename it, and swap it into the blank spot, and edit the dependencies that tell it where it is, u should get another seat into ur lifepod... but of course i could be wrong..

Well, the collision model for the Lifepod is EXTREMELY FUCKED UP. Really badly... you can fly right out of BG through the walls with ease.

Mine doesn't even fly.

Even though I changed all seat I.D's to W-Driver

Same with my Covie Dropship, even though I nulled out the AI

The only solution I see is this:

extract the pelican, and the lifeboat.

rebuild the map.

take away some of the seats of the pelican.

then go into hht and swap the model for the lifeboat, and the animations.

then go into Hex and make a collosion model.

Okay, but my main point is, that you can actually be dropped off, and also crash...
I always had this idea:
One team on the PoA (a small part)
And another one on the surface.
The PoA crew can use LifePods and Pelicans to drop to the surface and such...
That would be awesome...
Anyway, I'm going to try some stuff with the LifePod.
For example, it would be stupid to let the LifePod fly like the Banshee, so I'm trying to let it fly only downspin, and a limited steering.

i think i once overhead some guys talking about seats on IRC (you might know who you are

) Something about duplicating the seat "chunks", updating chunk counts, and recalculating offsets

i didnt really pay much attention at the time... i suppose SOME people could add seats to the lifepod, just most of them are too busy all the time... maybe you can figure it out?

MasterNeoChief · Post by **MasterNeoChief** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 7:07 am

Yeah, I thought about adding chunks...
I'm going to try it, as soon as I get my first test ready.

Anyone else?

lol I once had a dream about a LifePod.
I was playin' Halo, and was on the surface(looked Halo(level)-ish)
And a Pilot gets in, yells at me to get in before Covenant troops arrive, and the next thing I knew, MC and some Marines were flying back to the PoA in a LifePod...
lmfaoarotfflol...

HunterXI · Post by **HunterXI** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 1:46 pm

yea lol... they never need to go thru Halo at all...

new and revised script for Halo: the game!

*MC and marines go into lifepod, it flies off*

Cortana: blah blah blah, Take a seat you cockmuffin.
MC: ah jerk off, Cortana.
Cortana: I would of I had some HANDS, MORON!!!
MC: It was an insult, dumbass.
Cortana: This ring isn't a cudgel you barbarian!
MC: uh... wrong line, Cortana...
Cortana: oh really? uh... <whisper>can I see the script?</whisper>
MC: I thought you were programmed with it.
Cortana: yeah, but Windows 98 deleted it by *mistake*
MC: yeah, gotta hate Bill gates... if it weren't for his slow assed testers, I would have a pink tutu on already! I've been wanting to get one for 6 FUCKING MONTHS NOW!!!

This has been a paid rant from me.

Cortana: <whisper> If you say that out loud, M$ will force Bungie to fire you, so you had better shut up!</whisper>
MC: Ya know what? <yell> FUCK M$!!!!</yell>
Director: Alright that's it, you dont get the job. NEXT!!!
MC: But... you cant do this!
Director: yeah, and I can't wear a pink tutu!
MC: you cockmuffin...
Bill Marley: uh... I'm here for the MC part?
Director: Yeah, just over there...
