Prize cut.
It's not that I don't have the money to donate, more like I don't have that kind of credit card access. It's staying there, though.

If you guys would like, I could combine the two platforms and give a grand prize of $50 instead of $25 each.

The gift card comes in an email, and it will give you the money over the internet. So you could go onto Amazon and order anything using the gift card.

Jk-47, I am almost done with my mod, but I have a question. Ok, can I release it it the Download section of Halo 2 and just post a link to the release topic to enter it in this contest? Would that be okay?

You could just post it in the downloads section and just copy over the post.
I'm going to include the pictures, name, download, etc. in the participant list for voting. So I would prefer that you follow the required format for submitting a mod.

Ok. I'll just copy the post into this thread then.

Just as a heads up/reminder.
I'm not accepting any mods after April 30th. That gives you 4 more days.

Meh, I don't have time to make an ultra-professional entry.

I now present to you:
My Super Grenade Mod!

This fun little mod includes:
Force Grenades (Bursts with an outward force of energy instead of an explosion).
Energy Drainer (It shoots out a draining field in every direction for 3 seconds).
Mortar Launcher (Fires an extremely powerful mortar that makes a giant plasma explosion).

UPDATED: The Energy Drainer is now more Halo 3 like.

Screenshots:

Force Grenade active:

Energy Drainer idle (is actually a blue glow, not green):

Mortar exploding:

A read me is included in the downloaded file. :3

Am I going to be the only one that enters a mod for Halo 2? Mine is almost done...

Not if my computer would freakin' FTP to the Xbox. If it doesn't black screen, I'll be submitting an unfinished mod, just to see if the concept is liked, and if it's good so far.

Apologies for the double post.

Resolution
Description
- Patch is for Relic(Dune).
- I'm actually not entirely sure what's done and what isn't. I worked on this awhile ago, and my 'vigor' for finishing it was revived when JK-47 began the contest, but I was bombarded by stuff to prevent me from finishing it.
- This entry is primarily to see whether the judges like the concept, and to see whether the concept, liked or not, has been executed well thus far.
- No death zones as of yet. I use to have them, but the map was corrupted or something, and now they don't work(I suspect Xzodia's plugins >_>)
- I believe that I tried to create other gametype than slayer compatibility, but it was like, for a few minutes, and I never got into the detailed work of it.
- Switched some bitmaps around on the base to give it a different feel. Sky has also been switched.
- I advise you to take a look at the sword, it's probably the coolest thing on the map.
- Small easter egg. Some Halo 2 shenanigans are required.
- Some stuff with the weapons has been edited, but I'm not going to go into detail. Though, there are a lot of weapons and grenades on the map.

The following pictures are from an old build. It is better now.

Download
I advise people other than the judge(s) to not download this patch, as it is not finished, and so as to not deter you from downloading the final.
Have fun, judges.

Edit: he's referring to a picture taken during testing that had an unintentional error on it. It was fixed.

Eaton · Post by **Eaton** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 11:25 am

I didn't mention any errors in my 'release' post, did I?
Anyway, I blame Prey's Prophet. It took awhile before it would compromise.
