[Skin] The Calm Before the Storm

[theycallmechad]

Howdy. Here's my new skin for relic. A storm's apporaching this long abandoned island, but it isn't here yet. (Insert generic cheezy story here )

Any questions, feel free to ask.
I'll explain the skin beneath each picture.

EDIT: Until the pics at the bottom are working, here's some temp pics of the skin. Sorry for the size








New lights on this tower face (activates with teleporter)


Slightly darker atmosphere (a "storm" is almost here)


This isn't the first storm this warthog's seen


A neat picture


My Ghost


My Ghost again


What would a storm be without rolling storm clouds? The Storm is, after all, on its way.


And this one is just plain cool

And there's more to the skin, but you'll have to check it out yourselves to see.

No, it's not that fast. It's quite a pleasant speed ingame.

[DWells55]

Surely this skin needs its own menu image!

Complete with a Warthog in the shot, Bungie would be proud.

[ScottyGEE]

haha nice dwells they like shoving warthogs everywhere

As for the skin, I enjoy playing on it...its extremley polished and well layed out not just some textures just injected everywhere because they feel like it

Kick A55 skin !!!! It's awesome! Probably one of the only and best skins out there. Good job! Vehicles are cool . Awesome theme/feel to the map w/ the storm. Fits good cuz of the water and it's an island(they get hit by some big storms and hurricanes ) lol u got my download

[MrBalll]

Uh huh huh huh. This is amazing. Great job.

[r0tten]

looks good.

[CamDaMan607]

Hey I got an idea for you. You should make another skin or mod that is called The Storm.
Theme/story:

Now that The Calm Before the Storm has come and passed, The Storm is arriving. It is creating havoc and devastation. This is the worst storm this planet has ever seen. Oh no!! What's this?? The Covenant are invading now when we are weak from the storm! What are we going to do? Can you survive and defeat the Covenant? Get out there and destroy them and use your surroundings and the atmosphere to your advantage. Good Luck!

I think this is one my best idea yet ! I think it would be real cool and it can be just a skin w/ like some new scenery and stuff or a full mod. I would love to help you w/ it if you take on my idea. Tell me if you would like to. Thnkz! Great job again and thanks for making this cuz it inspired me w/ that idea .

[theycallmechad]

Hey, you're welcome for the inspiration, but one problem: you can't open this map with insolance. It's VERY limited with what you can do with it. Even my skin was limited as I was able to use only the shaders that came on this map.

But there's dozens of other maps this would work GREAT with. Give one of them a try. I'm sure you can do a good job with it.

[CamDaMan607]

Well I was thinking about that too when I thought, what other map has water on it? Headlong!! It could be like the storm passed over through the sea and hit that area in headlong. Do you want to do that? I will help you w/ it too. Everything i said above too

[r0tten]

hmm if its ok with you i'd like to add this to the map pack i am making, it should be done soon and you of course will get full credit.

why is it telling me i am not authorized to view or download this attachment?

[DWells55]

This + ScottyGEE's active rain scenery = h4x

Here's my stab at making a mainmenu description to match the picture:

This Halo Ring's artificial weather system created by the Forerunners is
evident on this island; home to the most intense and mysterious of
storms.
