    HALO

    Hi all I'm a random person who walked in one day, played ofp  , started downloading mods, then saw the dicussion for a HALO mod. I almost died when I found out it was over , and almost went out to do it myself when it struck me. I knew nothing about modding. It took me a while to figure out O2 and learn stuff etc but Where I failed was configs, scripting and named sections. Even to this day I still scratch my head over it. It didn't stop me getting the models and textures (the textures are imported from the game and Put onto the objects using 3dstudio max) and getting them into O2 and saveing them. So now I had what I needed, and went out to learn the things that I somehow find the hardest. Unfortunatly, it's been a long time and I still havn't figured it out (as most good tutorials SEEM to be dead, and other good tutorials seem to miss out the bit I need the most) and I have had recent problems outside game which have taken all my time. Making me very unhappy . I still have the models (Every HALO model in the game even the flood and covenant guns) and textures and a fair few sounds (gun sounds mostly) And I can still fit in a small amount of time to grab more sounds and references (as it only takes five seconds) but as for figuring out the configs and scripting I must wait till another, less time consuming day (which may be a while) So I have a few options I can either: Ask if there is a tutorial which will teach me all I need in a matter of seconds or I can give the models to someone more experienced who has time and would want to do it , and keep a backup on my computer. Either way, I cannot continue until either one is done. I have left some images of a small few of the models I have (and I mean only a few I have thousands more) Thanks for any form of help given Â
  2. I know there is a thread about discussing mods wanted, but this is about something I plan to do in the future (Not for a while yet though) I plan to make a sci fi mod with aliens, but the aliens I wish to be origional designs and ideas (may use laser but not all the time e.g) I wish to make two different races (at least) and at the end of their war humans march in (Again, wish for origional human military design) Now, I would like community ideas for aliens and humans, and remember it won't happen for a while yet, but it will happen Origianal buildings and plants/trees would be good as well! Rules that are definate: Humans use bullets Ideas can come from places like, say HALO or Warhammer, but musn't be just copied Aliens not having more then two arms and legs (Not yet anyway) No supersoldiers for humans! Also be free to say if you think this is a good idea or not Thanks NOTE: I won't actually reply to this thread myself until I have finished what I'm doing for OFP

    Like all great wars, thats pretty much what happens in regards to technology, but because these types are too far appart, it will take longer for them to figure out counter measures and counters to the counter measure. In case you're wondering, the fight on Earth doesn't last very long at all, in fact it's only about 2 years, the conflict however is costly to all sides, and still not over, as the conflict in space takes another 20 years to end

    While I'm redesigning tanks, weapons etc I came up with a timeline, and advantages and disadvantages of humans and aliens, mostly based around humans at the moment Aliens are mostly set firmly in the plasma/laser technology, and as such they haven't really encountered bullets and missiles, and this becomes a problem for them when human missiles shoot stright through their energy shields (designed to stop lasers and plasma not solid objects) and destoy what their protecting. Also, human helicopters will give humans the edge with insertion and extractions, along with strafing runs especially in URBAN zones. While humans have these small advantages, humans will lack when it comes to tanks, although their treads will make them a damn sight easier to repair then a completely fried hover system, their armour lacks shielding to protect from high frequency lasers, able to cut through the armour. For once, it is safer for humans to be in the infantry. Also, alien air forces will dominate, but they will lack sufficient VTOL systems to match the insertion/extraction capability of the human helicopters of the time. Another thing on the humans side is radiation control. The Aliens never develop into nuclear technology and as such although they have control over basic types of radiation, do not have the items to control and utalise Alpha Gamma and Beta types, although humans will not use A-bombs (mostly due to the state of the earth already) they will try to find ways of using these against the foe in many ways as time progresses. The humans are still, however, outnumbered, outflanked, and constantly ducking for cover as alien air forces soar overhead dropping plasma on their heads and scorching the landscape, and especially so when alien capital ships fly over with the intention of turning the battlefield into a giant crateor (spelling....) The alien attackers common tactic will be bomb the place to hell then send in a few squads to flush out survivors Well you know what they say, air superiocity wins This will also cause alot of cursing from characters in planned campaign as their only armoured support is effortlessly taken down by a passing space fighter, leaving the infantry on their own against a giant force Although the humans are allied with one alien race, their technologies don't seem to be compatable (e.g Aliens can't put their energy shields on human tanks, the two systems use completly differnet codes, languages and layouts, too different to merge until they have the time to sit down and tinker... which they don't have) Basically, humans will have power on the ground, but their lack of air support will deliver the painful blows (if humans had the right air support the aliens wouldn't stand a chance) This is only the idea for the first part, once humanity gets to space, the aliens will know what their up against and ajust accordingly Now that is a rediculours ammount of writing but I had to put it down while it was fresh on my memory

    Right ImageShack ain't working for me at the mo, but when it does I'm uploading a new Idea which does not look like my old one, just on paint, and has new ideas better ideas EDIT: Right here it is, my newer rifle. It's basically taken from the FN2000 and added and taken parts away. If you look I kept a small part of the G36 shape (barrel area) for the part above the barrel, the rectangular dip with a smaller rectangle in it, I have no idea why I put that in or what it could be, any ideas? things that could or should be changed?

    That FIST thing has more to do with what the person has on them, the things to do with weapons such as the helmet mounted sight being connected to the gun, were ideas I already had in mind, I do realise that weapons will advance as electronics does, I'm looking more for weapon look ... oh Yes I know that was the worst shot I ever did but I say again the G36 idea was stuck in my head at the time and I wasn't thinking properly <--- me EDIT: My imagination is suffering intently at the moment, mental blocks of a sort, I got the ideas in my head and just can't get them on paper or computer. This is the problem with close future settings, they can't be so differnet you can't regonise them, but they can't be so similar that it just looks the same BTW, would it be possible or a good idea to have automatically ejecting clips, when they run out of ammo the gun gets rid of them, or have some holder on the weapon that keeps a spare clip attached, so one clip runs out it just uses the backup?

    Yeah, it wasn't meant to be much. The main reason I went for the G36 look... well i'll admit is because I like that weapon, it has clouded my imagination, allow me the time to get the idea out of my head As for the alien weapon, that came out of nowhere I promise next time I post I will have the G36 look out of my head

    I decided to do the drawings in O2 to see what they will look like So here are the rifle varients (not the sniper) and an idea for an alien rifle, no textures included SG-83 SG-84MGV SG-83GL Alien Laser Rifle The alien laser rifle isn't too clear i know EDIT: I leave these objects on so that people don't get lost

    HALO

    They are in O2 format with textures and everything, just the model tho, no geo lods or anything

    Removed due to crappyness, my imagination has blown up for now

    The plan is that the human are at first invaded, but thats just to get them into space exploration through military advancemnet, once they're out there, they turn from invaded to invaders... and i don't use the term lightly EDIT - Oh and in starship trooper the aliens fired one meteorite at earth so the humans overreacted and sent a jack ass sized invasion army that got the shit kicked out of them
  14. black150

    Something Scifi

    thats a good idea for after the humans have been invaded, say when they take the fight back to the enemy, have them design something big and bad, but it wouldn't be unstoppable

    HALO

    Well, not enough intrest so I put what is done here http://rapidshare.com/files/17394588/Halo.rar.html the aliens don't work properly Banshee plasma bomb not on Put the vechiles as empty to avoid crashes with the aliens weapon class names are: halo_needlermag halo_needler halo_plasmariflemag halo_plasmarifle halo_plasmapistolmag halo_plasmapistol have as much fun as you can... well If someone does have the inspiration to continue, I still have every model of HALO 1 on my computer just gathering dust. I won't go onto do this for ArmA as I am actually getting boared of HALO and moving onto my own ideas (which need to get on paper quick otherwise I'll loose them) Sorry
  16. black150

    Something Scifi

    Well I managed to find ArmA where I live (at last) and declare to myself it is awesome. Anyways I'm now also thinking on planets different from earth, as I don't intend the campaigns to stay on Earth, with custom plants, foliage etc (mabye) Does anyone have any idea when the official mod tools come out?

    Something Scifi

    I'm back, I plan to use a bit of b and c there, but as for the a option, I've never been a big fan of the whole mindless beasts, although I like the alien series, I haven't been a fan since HALO the flood on the libary level... *shudder* While I was off for a bit, I was confined to playing an xbox, and ended up playing rainbow six vegas, and got the idea of fast ropeing/ rapelling down mountain slopes... dunno if it could be done (though I suspect could just make a seperate object that cliff shapped with an option) but be cool for an alternate way into bases and such

    Something Scifi

    Right I'll be gone for a while, so I say now, I would now like ideas on aliens for fighting. As far as campaign goes... well you can find out much later
  19. black150

    Something Scifi

    Not bothered about lag Just wanna know how the AI are, do they do what they did in ofp and run around in circles? can they walk through buildings without getting stuck?
  20. black150

    Something Scifi

    In regards to Campaign, i've got a sort of prolouge idea, then the main war, which will mostly take place in human POV on earth, but I may (probably will) do a few from the allied alien POV on a different planet. It will take in the consepts of stranded resistance, organised assaults and complete bloodbaths (over the top! ) Also, how good is ArmA AI in large urban zones? if it good, mabye have large city conflicts
  21. black150

    Something Scifi

    Closest i think that would be possible is a large carrier (without the smaller fighters) with large guns that when you eject, you come out in a small pod, so have thousands of pods in the sky all crashing down to the ground Mabye possible? it was managed for OFP EDIT: Well the pod thing, not sure about ejecting

    HALO

    We are now looking for someone who can do animations for the covenant units so as we could release the soldiers with the weapons and tanks and stuff It seems pretty lame without otherwise May not get the marines done, but we can hopefully get the covenant released

    Named Selections

    Hey, can anyone tell me what named selections are needed for infantry and where they go? A link to a website that says or putting here would be fine Thanks

    Something Scifi

    Right, I'm currently taking all these ideas of campaigns and such to make a storyline keep the ideas coming!
