What is up with modding today?

[metkillerjoe]

I agree, once H2 Vista comes out and I make a new PC and buy it, I will begin to hard core mod H2 becuase h2 xbox modding right now is more like hacking it. H2 Vista will be SOO much easyer becuase you will be able to fly around in real time to look at everything, and make your own BSPs, tags etc. without having to worry about what that unknown varible does.

Ditto.

I can't wait to see what that engine can do *drools*.

I tried for a LONG time to get someone to impose some standards on the PC mods forum here, but with no luck. I was fortunate enough to be able to host my own forum and take people who wanted to mod along with me.

Let's hope that when Halopc2 comes out some modders will come back to HM.

although a lot of people do seem to be comfortable elsewhere.....

EDIT* and if you want to stage a PC mod contest multi, I'll throw a quick one together for old times sake..... (where did I put that copy of Sparkedit....?)

Index (AKA DECOY )

id liek to see a pC contest

[rossmum]

Unless DECOY's leet HEK hax were included, I would SO pwn you all

[Danke]

But all I saw was...well... Tron skins, projectile/log mods, crappy skins, and only a few decent models.

Newsflash: The cycle of noobs and nooby mods started a year ago. It's nothing new.

Both of these are things I've seen consistently on halomods since a month after HMT was released. Strangely enough, I haven't seen a Tron skin I actually liked. =/

Oh and DECOY is my hero.

Yeah, Halo 2 modding is the rage now, because probably:

A. People got sick of HPC modding.
B. People want to know how to cheat then get banned.
C. Theres a lot of cool things you can do in H2 Modding.

But its ok really, once Prometheus comes out HPC modding will be populated again. Then once H2V comes out, that will be the new thing and HPC will be most likely dead, just like Halo 1 Xbox modding.

[Danke]

I think that depends on how many people want to get both Vista and H2.
As for Prometheus, I wouldn't hold my breath for another 18 months.

Halo 1 modding, and even CE, is dying. Aside from the works of the few greats still around (no I won't be an asshole and include myself, although I do like playing my mods with friends from time to time), I haven't seen more than about 10 mods or even CE maps I've seriously enjoyed for about 6 months. It's all crap, as the younger, egotistical players seem to want to 3D model or map just to show off to friends. Don't get me wrong... there are some youngins and newcomers who are absolutely amazing, but for the most part it's just junk. Excuses to post "OLOLOLOLOL FURST MODD!!!11" it seems...

Meh. I'm probably going to move onto Source modding and just bypass CE altogether (I still haven't learned to map or use HEK for anything other than tagging). I'm not even sure if I'm going to hang around here much longer... the only thing keeping me are the 30 or so members of the community who actively post and can act maturely, and I still feel kind of attached since I've been here so long. Then again, with all the changes, that's not as true as it once was... but don't worry, you guys won't lose your resident dinosaur/PC modder/3D modeler/brutally honest asshole yet

Yeah, I think im gonna wait until the prices go down on both Vista and H2 before I get it. And Prometheus has been in production for so long that I keep forgetting about it. (Jesus christ, me and can Dan agree on something...freaky...)

i just wanna see the next prometheus update. thats when we all get to see Veegies render.

Agreed. I hate saying it but pretty much everything but Halo 2 modding is dying. All the CE maps are completely un-origonal, the Halo PC mods are all log mods and projectile swaps. And the only people's models worth looking at now days are Katarns, Cooldudes, Rossmums (you), and Snafu. Well, those are the most known at halomods. There are some other decent modelers, but its pretty much recycled ideas with mods/maps/skins/models.
I know what you mean about leaving, I've tried numerous times but I can't cause of how long I've been here Even though some people piss me off a lot, and there is nothing worth looking at nowdays, and the forum gets quieter each year, I can't do it.

Oh yeah you make some pretty good models too, I just havn't seen much from you to really remember you from the top of my head.

[Patrickssj6]

Are we talking modding or modeling?

Well modding, then it went into CE, then modeling lol.

[Patrickssj6]

Neither Katarn or Cooldude can mod.Katarn maybe a bit.

[JK-47]

I know, I was mentioning them in the modeling section of my post. I forgot most of the Halomods members who mod good cause no one makes good mods now.

I decided I should put my money where my mouth is and make a mod though lol.

[Patrickssj6]

There are good mods on gbx still.

[JK-47]
