[WIP] HALO FTW: Refined and Polished

HPDarkness · Post by **HPDarkness** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 6:58 pm

Sorry I didn't see your post before. I can probably do some ambient sounds for you if you need some. I have never done loops before, but it's worth a try. What type of sounds would you like? I do mostly halo style ambients. Long extended string music, with a few sounds here and there. I can do bird sounds, waterfalls ect also. Perhaps a nice strong wind sound would go well with ice fields.

Pepsi, Do you want just the regular halo music on the ui? Also, should i customize the credits, etc...?

darkness, your way ahead of me in thinking. do what you feel would work, i trust your judgement.

andrew, i want this to play in the UI if possible. it would own a tad me thinks.

is there a minimum time/size limit you would want? Like say I had a wind sound for Ice Fields, but it barely looped. Lets say about a 30min sound? Or would that be too much?

Anyways I could upload some demos, and give them to you. Then chop them up to your liking.

here are the 2 tracks for ambient sounds for icefields.

http://pepness.net/ftwvids/eeriewind.eeriewindlp1.wav
http://pepness.net/ftwvids/windswirl.PE46_47lp1.wav

both them are only 7 seconds long comprising of the ambient sounds making up the sound environment for icefields. so i guess the track would have to be 7 seconds long at loop at the correct timing. my suggestion would be taking thoes 2 files and editing them in your sound mixing prog. by adding your own little tweaks to them.

remember to save in .wav format.

That masterchief skin/model looks so awesome, makes me wish I had a better video card <.<

looking good

its either 2 things..

a line in the lightmap im not aware of or a weird shadow the BSP is casting somehow or whatever. the issue isnt with the bitmap or you would see it everywhere repeating.

as for a better gfx card..

these screens are being taken on a 6800GS. thats almost 3+ year old technology. im doing this on purpose to show ppl that you dont need some 8800Ultra for this to still look good at reasonable frames.

Yeah, but my 7600GT died, so I'm back on a 6200 A-LE, which I had to adjust the res to 800x600 just to get over 25 FPS in FTW

You have certainly proven yourself in the past, and have done things most modders fantasized aboout.

Supurb job on your mod so far, and best of luck in the following work.

I wonder what happened to "I'm finished modding," from what I recall he said that a long time ago in a post in the Modding Discussion.

I'm not arguing with it, he does a damn good job.

People come back. I've thought I was done quite a few times.

Could it be possible to add a Weegee easter egg?
