Making Co-op come to life!

Templar · Post by **Templar** » Sun May 09, 2004 12:06 pm

Well everyone is singleminded on Co-op;
If you can't open SP maps, you can't do Co-op!
WRONG
Well HEK cannot open up SP levels (yet) so I thought "Hey, I can make new levels, why not just add AI and have a set objective?" Well I am! Heres the details:
It'll be up to 4 players, maybe AotCR sized, and full of Covie, Flood AI. Players will be Covies, and play as Elites, golden with sword (as a weapon that cannot be removed) and your choice of any other weapon. Feedback?

Thanks, I'm going to start working on it when I'm done downloading Max5. Expect more updates later this week (the speed is being gay, 10kb/s one second, 60 another, 3 the next...It's taking forever....)

Too bad you won't be able to do it. HEK didn't come with the SP tag files(Elite/Grunt/etc. characters, and so on). Sure, there is a section called "AI" and whatnot in Sapien, but you won't be able to use them without the SP tag files.

The First Strike MOD is stuck at this step, too. Here's a link to a possible solution: http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com//s ... o=&fpart=1

I'll try that. I'm good at figuring out problems, and even if I can't figure it all out, this will still be a hell of a cool MP level

just to let ya know you can make your own AI tags (actor, actor variant etc.) in guerilla, (i already posted this on first strike forums so they can either find another way around the problem or make their own)

I'm gonna do that a little later, I need to figure out how to go from Maya to Max (i'm designing in maya, and texturing in max.)

I haven't seen it in the forums, could you link please?

And I don't think that Guerilla can make new tags out of thin air, only just modify. Personally, I would rather want something that extracts from the HaloPC map files into a format that is usable with the HEK files. So that way, we can have the tags AND the original maps themselves to examine(how AI works, cenematics, etc.).

Great idea, why did nobody come up with that sooner?

It can only import when another tag is open, I believe. And besides, it only imports text ASCII files(everything in plain english), not meta tag files that HMT exports.

Unless GB altered how netcode transfers, good luck.

And btw, GB themselves gave up because they said it wasn't possible without altering core game bianaries.
