no problem. except that i was absolutely sure it would work. but i tried, and it didnt. the other way to make the mod would be making the gun have a clip of 1000 ammo. you almost never use that much before either switching the gun or dying. and you never shoot even half that with good weapons (rocket launcher, sniper). ill try to work out how you can correctly change ammo los, but i dont hav much time.

i thought of a new way to make the subtitles. also, i might be able to get rid of the camera shake and smooth gameplay. i need my dad's tripod stand though. ill see if i can get it, then ill re-do the video. i could make it slightly higheer quality too. (if you want me to upload the original, high quality video, with no sound, just let me know)

EDIT: man, theres nobody on today. i think i hav seen around 4 new posts total in all the forums... i guess everybody is doing something for the fourth. i keep waiting for someone to post, because i have nothing else to do, but there is nobody on...

EDIT (again): been making the new movie today. its finished. explains weapons in higher detail, and also includes some possible changes.

low quality: http://useruploads.mythica.org/view.cgi ... d_2_LQ.mov

higher quality: http://useruploads.mythica.org/view.cgi?f=Halo_2-7.mov

tell me what you think of the new movie compared to the old. oh yeah, suggestions and questions welcome. one last thing. this will be my last post for a long time. canada probably dosnt have good wifi and the arctic most likely has none. ill post sometime a month from now unless i can get onto the internet sooner. bye for a while.

For those who want it here's the finished map: http://www.filefactory.com/?5080f5

The first thing you'll notice is that it is compressed in .7z. It's because .7z is compresses to about half the size of a zip file. To open the file you'll need to grab a .7z decompresser.

This one should work: http://taskman.altervista.org/get.php?f=7zX_1.4.1.dmg

If it doesn't then grab the one on pure-mac.com.

Now decompress, put in the maps file, and all that stuff.

Most of the stuff in the map is easy to figure out, but there are 3 unmarked teleporters in the map. One by each rocket launcher and another in the middle of the level. They should be pretty simple to figure out.

Note: If you crash every time you load the map or the sky is half gray, try turning down your graphics settings. I don't know why this happens but it does...

hey everybody, i found some wireless. its been a while, but i have had lots of time to think up mods. in fact, i think i found a way to make the jetpack. i hope nobody made one while i was gone. im gonna test it later today and ill try to post something on its progress. Hey A Bunny, i think im gonna name a method after you. you seem to be the first person to create new weapons without adding anything to the game (new models, bitmaps). you made a sword out of things that were already in it. that was genius. so now there should be a method called the bunny method where an entirely new weapon or tool is made simply from modding whats in the game. like the taser or stun gun. that was made the same way. the jetpack i thouhgt of would be about the same way. ill post later.
EDIT: oh, and i thought of how to make a grappling gun and a (hopefully) a functioning flying tank.

A Bunny, i dont think the link works. it says there are tehnical difficulties on the page. also, what mod is it anyway?

Hehe, I already made a Jet Pack but it was a copy of SI's idea in his Apocalypse Gulch. It was accually easy to do. I was all wondering how is that possible, if you use the HMT Plug-ins... hell, it's so easy. Lol.

draconic74 · Post by **draconic74** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:45 pm

if its easy, what did he do? and when did he think this up? how does the jetpack work? oh yeah, you can do all of it with HMT plugins. my idea wasa like A Bunny's, combining different weapon aspects to get an entirely new weapon or tool. another cool thought: we could make a mod where all the weapons have been modded into completely new ones, like swords, tasers, jetpacks, and (im working on it) grappling guns. im sure we could think f new ones, like redeemer missiles (Unreal tournament) and such. it would be apretty cool mod.

Yeah, it's easy because it's all simple meta edits. You use the HMT Plug-Ins. Just take the damage away from the Flame thrower, and add a lot of force, and then you have a Jet Pack.

It's pretty funny to watch people jetting around with flames coming out of there ass but whatever.

Syperium · Post by **Syperium** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:52 pm

Haha! That is what it looks like though. Lol. It's pretty funny.

my jetpack would work better, i think. from what i hear, his shoots you backwards. mine would push you in the direction you were facing at the time. its not completely tested, but i think i could do it.

Post by **>Shadow<** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 4:54 pm

That would be pretty frickin' sweet.

draconic74 · Post by **draconic74** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:58 pm

you mean his dosnt push you in the direction you face? i was guessing, but if im right the would be awsome. also, im pretty sure i could make a grappling hook, but i wont say how.
