Hmm. I liked the other one better. sorry

Also, have you considered another hud? I've always had the idea, probably not a good one though, of having the ammo down the left side, and the shield/health down the right.

No, never mind, ignore me. It's fine

Im not keeeping it Gold.. RofL! Just something funny that happened while messing with a shader. When I went into game that was the first thing I thought of was Goldmember from Austin Powers saying... " I Like GOOOOLD".

Just some silliness thats all.

Here a Youtube referance link to what im talking about-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWktQi9fwW4

Second'd. HUDs are very interesting, and I think you're more than capable or making something kick-ass.

Lol nice one Pepsi. Looking great! Keep up the good work.

Fine.. lol.. Ill keep the gold but there is no way im keeping it that bright. Like srsly, in game, it's super bright. You gotta trust me on that, but ill dull it down a tad.

I dun like Bungies crappy UVW job.

Good job nonetheless. Although I think the specular is a bit to high for my liking, then again, I'm judging off pictures, which FTW seemed better ingame then in pictures, so I will wait for the beta, if I'm even betaing, also this is a huge run on sentence.

Maybe have Boarding Action an option? Say, if you want gold you can use it but if not then you can use the other?

Yeah, the gold is a bit distracting.

I dont like the gold. It's silly. Do you want your mod to be remembered as the god-send, breathing a new era into the modding world globally, ushering an era of high quality mods that push the limits of the engine of whatever game they're on, or some silly little thing?

That's what I thought.

That looks so sexy dude, you should have taken my advise I gave you way back. I need to get xFire working again, or make a new MSN account.

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 4:42 pm

Your partially right Andrew. Its distracting and its a gimmick I feel. While it may "look cool" doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Im seriously just not feeling it cause it doesnt flow with the scenery its sitting in so I taking it back to how I had it. Sorry for all you gold lovers but im just not partial to it.

Quick Tut:
To make your Boarding Action ship "gold" just copy the meta for the chief's visor over the "cube map space". You can do the same effect without messing with shaders and will almost look the same.

Anywho..

Here's the finalized screens for BeaverCreek. Judge them at will and ill try to make a cute FLV movie for it later.

1 map done. 15 to go.

that looks really cool way better then the one on FTW (not that FTW's wasn't good)

and i like the gold a lot, its really cool if you ask me...

EDIT: also make new weapon skins

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 4:55 pm

Ok, heres my modding process for thoes saying "do this, do that"..

1. Layout themes for maps and build a proof of concept.
2. Get approval on theme and execute total map revamp.
3. Work on multi vehicle skins for each themed map.
4. Do weapons if need be.
5. Work on UI and HUD interface.
6. Release ALPHA to my usual testers.
7. Let Bcnipod begin MAC conversion.
8. Work on misc skins that dont need to be EOF'd.
9. Release Beta to testers and let them post feedback and screens.
10. Add my Easter Eggs.

Release Mod.

Just for thoes who wanted to know or have asked lately.
