Texas_Fett Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I had a dodgy copy of Halo briefly, but the disk got hurled across a kitchen at a cat and was subsequently, and sadly, lost amid the bubbles and waves of a dish of washing up.... For the X-Box or the PC? The PC version took out perhaps the best feature of the game: cooperative play in the main game. Sadly, the best way to play it is exclusively on the X-Box. Say Tex; why not right click on this image and bustle up your avatar? Well, because for a period of about...fifteen minutes I had this one, but it nearly made me go all cross-eyed. Besides, I kinda like the one I've got. It's Fett with attitude...Texas attitude. But if the general consensus here on the boards is that my avatar isn't snazzy enough, I'll gladly change it.

Jahled Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 I wasn't insinuating a dislike for your static avatar!! That's just your own paranoia; but don't worry, everybody suffers from that! I was merely trying to be kind and helpful in passing something on I found lurking around in one of my hosted web-spaces. Anyway, I agree in that movie footage would indeed make one dizzy after a couple of minutes. The Halo disk was for PC, but I never even got to load it. It was given to me, strangely enough, by a receptionist in the City who I got to know.( I did their post run more or less every day) But as I said, it perished in a moment of rage. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Fett Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 My apologies, Jahled. That previous post of mine came off wrong. I meant for it to sound "wryly sarcastic", not "egotistical a$$". I appreciate your taking the time to dig up a .gif for me to use, and I'll certainly consider it (it does kinda fit the whole "Imperial Helmet" theme). Besides, I've been experiencing avatar snafu's similar to the ones you had at the beginning of this thread, according to Mask. It wasn't loading right, except in the "your account" screen, even though it was still present on the hosted site. Once I re-loaded it, though, it was fine. As for HALO, it's a shame the disk met its demise without you being able to experience it. It's a fun game and has a great storyline.

Jahled Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 I stumbled across this little site this afternoon and have been downloading stuff ever since. There's quite alot of stuff I can't access due to file formats I don't understand, but there's a whole host of potential 3D stuff and animation programs some of you sharper guys might consider having a look at... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Or to put it more simply.... the site is full of downloadable files in the following formats: MAX3DSLW5C4DTruespace ...etc...any of you guys know what these programs are; because i've got to say some of the site's projects/contributions look pretty darn good! I'ld love to see some of this stuff in rebellion; i'm just clueless as to what programs I need to open up some of the stuff! Any ideas guys? http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 3ds, and max are used in 3d studio max, and/or gmax... lw5... Lightwave(?)c4d (?????)Truespace: Truespace... LithUnwrap, which is mask's site can open the 3ds, if it can hanlde the other ones, I'm not sure... http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Good man, Trej! Because one of the fonts/downloads on that site is a rolling Star Wars text-engine as in the beginning of the movies/games... Identifying it's program would be instrumental in all Total Conversion projects here on this site! I just need to know what software it's in, and i'll be able to get it... ...though not perhaps immediately use it... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mask Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Ahh, the good folks at Scifi3d, they even updated since I last visited the site (half a year ago )MAX 3DS LW5 C4D Truespace Trej said it already: Max and 3ds are viewable in 3D Studio Max, LW5 is indeed Lightwave (revision 5), C4D is Cinema 4D, and Truespace, well I haven't tried that, but it would be too weird to assume, that the program is called something else You can also try "3D Exploration" on the Homeworld - Star Wars Mod's site (http://swnr.themaw.net) The models look pretty sweet, but most of them would be too complicated, to work at all in Rebellion. I have some that make my Athlon 2600 behave pretty sluggish, just rotating them around. Although in movie sequences, they'd look goooood http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Excellent! Well it was sort of folks like you I wanted to draw attention to the site, though it was obvious you all ready knew about it! Interesting what you say about the models, and i'm curious; can you utilize the rolling download Trej said was first on download hit list? It would seem an obvious tool to utilize.... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 ... arrr ... I knew I forgot something ... Umm sure, I'll have to take a good look at it at home, but I think it can be pretty easily animated and incorporated into a movie.If not, then I can simulate the effect with Ulead Media Studio, like I did in the very first sample movie (the one with Thrawn slumped in his chair), so no worries, dude. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mask Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Btw, I looked at the scroll text. Besides, that it has two errors init (camera looking "down" and the StarWars logo doesn't vanish), it works But there's one thing I'm not so happy with now, the area where the text scrolls by, is black and you can't see the stars in the background. On the other hand, I think the movies had a black background there as well. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mask Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 It works with 3dsmax and should theoretically also work with gmax. The thing is, that it's an animation, so a "simple" model viewer like Lith would only show you the first frame. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 That site had a great looking Star Destroyer model; it's a shame it's detail is to much for the rebellion game engine...
