Well it was in the official Covenant forum conversation, don't remember where exactly. And maybe more than porting the insurrectionists to independent, maybe they could keep them both in opfor and independent. This way we would have some kind of independent faction too apart from the colonial militia, and we would keep the current opfor enemy used in the missions. After all covenant is a secondary mod and not the main mod.

As far as im concerned there are going to be covenant both in independant and opfor. Pretty much a copy of each other, independant could be considered heretics though. So you can pretty much make a vs against everything.

BEAUTIFUL! Love the dark and blue mixture, it makes the armor look more detailed. Now you only need that blue to become red, golden yellow and white and with that there will be enough variants for this armor. Then you could make the spec ops armor, and that should be enough. Of course ther are other armors, nut that is up to you, whether you see capable of adding them or not and you don't get stuck with them. http://www.renders-graphiques.fr/image/upload/normal/EliteJetPack_halo_Reach.png http://img04.deviantart.net/97d9/i/2004/093/5/1/elite_commando.jpg http://www.halopedia.org/images/9/9a/HR_officer_sang.jpg http://www.halopedia.org/images/0/09/HR_Sang_Gen.jpg

LOL that is very similar to the suggestion I brought up some time ago: http://es.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14b81ap&s=8#.VYBYTK101YU Thy used some kind of hologram, as expected.

If you have figures then that is going to be extremely useful. Theronnet could take some ingame screenshoots too if necessary, just like he did with: http://imgur.com/a/w2Occ screenshots could be taken from 5 different points of view (side, above, under, front and rear) perfectly aligned. So they could be really good references. I haven't found many screenshots about the spectre, AA wraith and shadow. Scarab too, although there are 3d models. then the halo wars locust and vampire don't have many good references. And it would be nice to have references from h3 and halo reach static turrets too. So far the best ones: Wraith: http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/05/84/63445542964081/0/get-better-halo-reach.w654.jpg Seraph: (but old) http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100922080916/halo/images/b/b0/H2_-_Seraph_Overview.png banshee: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tFhKSVus5uc/UJqt5T2MbrI/AAAAAAAABYc/2UbG2NK3uy8/s1600/y_04_chad_haley_Halo_4_Banshee_game.jpg phantom: http://www.halodestiny.net/images/news/halo_reach_modele_3D_HD_phantom_low_2.jpg spirit: http://www.halodestiny.net/images/news/halo_reach_modele_3D_HD_spirit_low.jpg revenant: http://www.halodestiny.net/images/news/halo_reach_modele_3D_HD_revenant.jpg Not many as you can see.

I found this banshee image, similar to those you posted: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tFhKSVus5uc/UJqt5T2MbrI/AAAAAAAABYc/2UbG2NK3uy8/s1600/y_04_chad_haley_Halo_4_Banshee_game.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UDOLWLm5y8k/UJqt1dTi4SI/AAAAAAAABX8/y0x9xdE01jw/s1600/y_01_chad_haley_Halo_4_Banshee_high.jpg others: http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2014/323/8/1/vehicles_for_halo_2__anniversary_by_belovp-d86xp76.jpg https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/encyclopedia/vehicles/spectre/spectre-thumbnail-708x398-364dafb8e27947558c8224872b7a6438.jpg My other recommendation would be using actual 3D game models as reference, there is no better reference than that. Fine elite reference: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6491 jackal: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6487 scarab: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4960 etc

That looks quite good! You textured it faster than I expected. So what is going to be in the first release? The first page looks outdated compared to what you have done: -Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol (Plasma pistol) => Done -Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle (Plasma rifle) => UV-MAPPING (Wasn't it already finished?) -Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon (Fuel Rod Cannon) => Done -Energy Sword =>Done -CSAT Retextures (Done?) You now have a ghost too :) All that stuff should be fine for the first release. Maybe you could try and texture the carbine, so you could add it to the first release too, not a bad idea considering you already have the 3d model done. Then for second release I would suggest adding the spectre and banshee. So the covenant would have something like a warthog and an aerial vehicle for CAS. When it comes to weapons the storm rifle (riflemen), beam rifle (sniper) and needle rifle (Marksman) would be nice additions. Halo 2 anniversary spectre and banshee look quite good: For the third release you could go for the wraith, AA wraith and maybe the phantom and/or spirit. Considering making those complex vehicles is not going to be easy, you could limit the weapons to be done to the Type-52 Guided Munitions Launcher/Explosive (Plasma launcher) , so infantry now can have AA weapons too. For the fourth release you could go with the shadow and revenant. Shadow would be pretty much an IFV/APC acting similarly as the unsc cougar while the revenant would be a stronger ghost. In this release you would release the last weapons, being the Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy (Concussion rifle) and Type-52 Special Applications Rifle (Focus rifle). http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140513045557/halo/images/2/2b/H2_Concept_Shadow2.png Fifth release would add the static weapons. Then if you see it possible and convenient vehicles such as the locust, scarab and vampire. And all that would be left are the character models. How does that sound to you? Setting objectives for every release is a good way to organize stuff.

The fox cannon is a nice artillery piece, good alternative for the rhino. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090311185549/halo/images/f/fb/Fox_cannon.jpg

Looks great! You really have some very nice skills. Though with that many faces it is oing to be a nightmare to texture lol http://www.figures.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9476&d=1280929292 http://youbentmywookie.com/wookie/gallery/0610_first-image-of-mcfarlanes-halo-reach-ghost/halo-reacher-ghost-1.jpg

nice updates! Glad to see you added hexagonal forms to the textures, looks pretty good. There is still a lot of room for improvement, but what you have done is pretty good already. Keep up the good work and I'm pretty sure we will be able to enjoy a first release soon. About weapon colors, I definatelly prefer this purple over the blue one. Even for the plasma rifle: http://www.artemstudios.com/2010/gallery/professional/halos_reach/plasma_rifle_high.jpg Then use yellow for the specialized weapons such as rocket launcher and concussion grenade launcher: http://halofanforlife.com/wp-content/uploads/Covenant-concussion-rifle-Callout-Sheet-FINAL_Use_Reach_colors_web.jpg And combine that grey with black or a darker grey: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140510062454/halo/images/b/b8/H4-Reference-Carbine.jpg

That is an Epic jump! Anyway, the fort is awesome, it reminds me of the halo 3 live action trailer. BTW, I see trees that are totally pink? That is a bit strange, if only the leaves are pink then that is ok but it is something that draw my attention a lot. Its nice to see trees with other colors. I think there could be some variations in the grass too, so some parts of it are brown/yellow even a bit red. You can play with it. https://wanderinghokies.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/fall-foilage4.jpg http://images.hdwpics.com/2400DE864B4F/Spring-Tree.jpg http://www.mounthoodgardens.com/2014/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Residential_CA-1.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qkPJrms2ES4/TEHp2WQ3DTI/AAAAAAAAABA/Jj9Mz3l56vM/s320/Red+grass+sunset.JPG http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1968828314_6/1000-Pieces-Adaptability-Super-Plants-Seeds-Bassia-Scoparia-Red-Lantern-Seeds-Gold-Kochia-Scoparia-Grass-Plus.jpg I would like to see more warthog driving videos showing more stuff :)

The speed you are working at is quite impressive. Though it looks different, what fuel rod cannon are you using as reference? http://i.imgur.com/UGp4XZD.png

As far as I'm concerned there won't be a proper overcharge feature. Most likely it is going to have some kind of magazines, and it will use the weapon freezing animation to reload.

That is unfortunate, howerver if that's the case the same would be applyd to: http://tucker412.deviantart.com/art/Halo-Reach-Lone-Wolf-Helmet-176803166 but in the comments he says that the model is his. Strange. Well a least in the sketchup warehouse there are models which are not ripped from the games, such as: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=a1389890d21121d6ff0169ce721bb8bb https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=daf3be8f8a8913306e6aba7acbea2431 https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=555f568c31358afcffe50f88045d4553 https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=495517c14b5cfddfa2aba4ceabf32dc https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=8f09d10980693a36100f835659a6faba But there is not really much.

Yes that file name is what made me wonder if they were riped or not. But are you sure? In his deviantart he has done custom models using bungie's textures. So maybe these are the same?

Looking at its deviantart I can say he is an skilled modeler too, for example: http://tucker412.deviantart.com/art/Halo-Reach-Lone-Wolf-Helmet-176803166 In this case he modeled it but used bungie textures: http://tucker412.deviantart.com/art/Halo-Reach-Lone-Wolf-Helmet-176803166 So since the model is very likely his , and you plan to change the textures, I don't think there is going to be a problem. Some time ago I contacted him but yeah he is quite inactive. But send him a message, he may reply late but it is better than nothing.

Looks like it can be used as long as you dont gain money from it. But just in case, send him a message letting him know that you are using his asset. Also give credits if posible, post a link to his deviantart on the First post That should do. ---------- Post added at 10:37 ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 ---------- About the scarab, it can be done, ask spacenavy as je said he knows how to make the ATAT. However, are you sure those models have not been ripped from halo 3? If that is the case they wñcould not be used unfortunately.

Wait, since when? Banshee!! Awesome! Will it work as a VTOL that can change between Jet and Helicopter mode? That would be the best option. I'm just saying this because I see an helicopter icon on it and it would be very awkward for it to fly only like an helicopter. also my favorite one is the reach one, but if you use this one at the end that is fine. Also who made the model and textured it? Or it was given by someone? Interesting reference models: https://www.yobi3d.com/#!/search?q=3d%2520models%2520halo%2520banshee

http://i.imgur.com/RhHkfRZ.jpg Caves are something very nice, would bring some very interesting gameplay to arma, plus these are perfect places for insurrectionists to hide. Itt would be nice if there was one that could be entered from both ground and underwater too. http://i.imgur.com/fl22dcT.jpg Nice, they look very similar to the Reach ones. I would suggest you added more variation: green, red , yellow/orange would do. also there is some grass that could have some more red/brown color: http://wireframeworlds.com/images/vaccaroAnthony_haloReach_boardwalk3.jpg http://wireframeworlds.com/images/vaccaroAnthony_haloReach_boardwalk2.jpg http://halo.bungie.net/images/games/Reach/images/screenshots/e32010ff/full/Reach_E310_Firefight_Beachhead03.jpg That would be beautiful.

It looks beautiful. Looking at this it makes me want to play the silent cartographer lol. Specially this version: I suppose there are going to be other trees other than palm trees too am I right? With both forests, plains and maybe some buildings. http://www.busyboo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/small-house-island-02.jpg

Well since as far as I'm concerned all OPTRE aircrafts are going to have VTOL capabilities, all that is needed is some kind of hangars and an open flat space to take off and land safely. between 12 and 24 islands in a 10 x 10 km map? that sounds cool though the islands are going to be quite small. If you're still messing wih the terrain layout everything I can suggest for now is that you take a look at fantasy maps, there are some very cool island shapes: http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2010/022/b/2/Belnkre_Continental_Map_by_magbhitu.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jg_jDvPAxxE/TeyOZ8rTIoI/AAAAAAAAA8E/L0xRxHEN_yQ/s1600/Monday+Map+17.jpg http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/blank-sm.jpg some custom civilization V maps have pretty good layouts too: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=337297665&searchtext= http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=422138969&searchtext= http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=307989444

http://i.imgur.com/duQUhFm.jpg It is looking good, how many islands are there? Is there any flat ground that would have an airfield? Little outposts/towns? Maybe you could add 1 screenshot from the terrain seen from above so we can see the layout and if there is any bigger island in there. The map is 20 x 20 km right? Edit: About the rocket launcher shininess, let's wait till it is ingame, a render is quite different from an ingame screenshot, lets see how it looks in a ingame screenshot and decide later. Maybe it looks better than you expect.

sweet mother theresa on the hood of a mercedes benz, that is the definition of beautiful. any chances of other assets getting a texture overhaul too? For instance the vehicles, specially the warthog wheels. Also I am the only one that thinks that the falcon textures look very ''clean'' compared to the pelican and warthog? They also seem to use a different color scheme. The only one that looks alright is the snow one, though there is no snow pelican.

Unfortunately I can't help you with that matter as I have a very limited knowledge, but I think you are asking this in the wrong forums. This is the addons and mods forums, you should ask this in the scripting and zeus forums, where someone with knowledge could answer you, try asking that here: http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?199-ARMA-3-ZEUS-EDITING

That is a very sexy aircraft! What textures are you planning to do? Similar to the Ingame ones? http://www.armaholic.com/datas/users/arma3_e3_release_38_4.jpg
