I had a massive idea you know some of the best home brew were Dungeons 3d and iris right. so why don't we take the first person of Dungeons 3d with the "free environment" of iris We could make so many different mods..... "Palo" psp Halo Or something neat just think about it wouldnt it be just be like taking snippets of cod and joining them....... well it was just a thought...

Ive thought of this too, but i looked at both.... heres what i can tell you

Iris wasnt completed, but we have to remember, .BSP uses up alot of resources ( esspecially when using lots of textures, and if you want quality....your talking about 256x256 textures which puts a tremendous load on ram [ if im not badly mistaken ] )

so if you want more open world maps, your going to need to look at a different solution.

Iris used a much easier supported model format ( MD2 ) but MD2 looks like jello, esspecialy when in FP mode...

Now, Dugons uses MD3 as its model support, which is much better than MD2 ( though really MD5 is much better... esspecialy since it uses bones better ) though the mapping format for Dungons is simple ( except i like the animating and laying of the textures :D )

Basically, what im trying to say is, you may want to instead work on making a new engine rather than trying to combine 2 sources... also, you may want to try to do somthing else than halo on psp.... as of Microsoft gets quite mad at doing that kind of stuff... id say try to be original with your games... ive learned that its better to be the first than a poser.

Anyway, thats my input on this...

Thanks for Everything,

Im sorry but, you are not going to finish this project. there is no way some one completely new to programming will be able to even start something like this, Start with a simple 2d game first. Its worth it, Trust me. Dungeons 3d and Iris were created by experienced programmers, and, unlike them, thats somethime you and me lack :S

no.... just that if you look closely ( or if you get it to a wall in a certain angle ) it'll show it in FP mode... but in some cases, you dont even need to do that to see that the models move like jello....

also, i was refering to people trying to do mods as well, as of lots of people seem to be interested in making mods off of halo, but i see more and more people putting in ripped models than fanmade ones... thats what makes microsoft mad....

im also agreeing with this one... as of you really should get your mind set on starting 2D games...

Also, with the request part of coders, most coders wont help because they are working on their own projects....

Please, dont think im trying to down you on this, and i think its a nice idea, but really you need to start small....

Anyway...

A.) they were fan made

B.) i gave proper credit to the guy who made the fanmade models

C.) yes, it does still count, as you are still using the ripped models

Thanks for Everything,
