dinosaurJR's Halo Mod

[Dan1025]

Looks like a great list, can't wait to see some pics of what you've done

[dinosaurJR]

Here is the first (of many I hope) updates to Halo:Fleet Command!

Just the four images so far...I do have many more models, just dont have time to take pics of them all right now...

First - the CCS;

Spoiler:

A bit poly heavy - 2500 or so, but the whole point of this mod is that you wont have huge fleets...but more on that later...

Next - the CNC Needler Corvette;

Spoiler:

This unit will act as an anti fighter ship - spitting hundreds of needler shards into space!

Next - Just a size comparison - Im not sure, but the CNC could do with being a little smaller?

Spoiler:

Hm?

And last, A Covenant swarm!!

Spoiler:

Again, I think the Seraph is too big...

more on the way!

Great models! can't wait to see more

[Majestic-MSFC]

I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure, looking good keep up the hard work.

Good work man!

[dinosaurJR]

Hey, thanks for the positive feedback guys! Also, Majestic! its good to see you round here again! I really should visit MSFC more often!

Just a wee update here, showing some of the UNSC models I have been building...

First, here is the Type 11 Corvette - fills a similar role to the Covenant Needler Corvette...

Spoiler:

Its a little smaller than the UNSC Frigate, but has no MAC cannon...many many Machine guns though...

Here is a comparison with the Longsword model I plan to use...

Spoiler:

I know - the longsword is a little inaccurate - I will probably play around with the shape a little - but I want 100's of these on screen at once - so they need to be low poly...

Next, lets play spot the Ship Class...

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

He (or She, It, They, whatever...) who can name all of the Ship Classes in these images wins my eternal respect (and possibly a cookie, but not Pie)

More on the way guys...

Thanks, yeah things are sure happening over there.

The mod looks awesome I love Halo, if only A1 worked correctly on my PC.

Hey,

Less of an update and more of a question...

If I were to look into having the UNSC side with no shields, is it a simple case of in the units odf having;

shieldGeneratorHitPoints = 0
enginesHitPoints = 10
weaponsHitPoints = 10
lifeSupportHitPoints = 10
sensorsHitPoints = 10


or would the units continually have that ugly shields down sprite on them the whole time?

Has anyone experimented with shieldless vessles before?

Yeah. You also have to set "maxShields = 0" and "maxHealth = XXX" for it to work, though, IIRC. The Borg in my build don't use shields, and they don't have the shields-down sprite, work just fine, function without shields normally.

Good luck.

Here is the state of play with the UNSC units so far...

Spoiler:

As you can see, things are progressing rapidly - though to be honest, this is the easy part. Modeling I can do, texturing too (hey, that rhymes) but I get a little lost when it comes to coding etc... I only just learned how to use spoiler tags, for gods sake!

Oh, and dont worry - the texture shown above is only a place holder, so I can see how the model looks when rendered by the A1 eng. I will do proper textures, I promise!

So, untill next time... (which should be soon...)
