master chief, now in new colors.

haha hi, well, i was bored, so i started playing with the skins of my players in iris, and i found you can make the color hue and saturation change.

this allowed me to make a red,blue,black, silver,and purple masterchief's.

Nice...i see u like my "Open Up" map, but your problem on my map maybe that u dont have all the textures or they are not in the right places...read my "Read Me" that was in with the map for help...

oh really,? dang i thought i got it right the second time.lol:D

you should have seen the first time, i didnt have any textures and the place was all white...

looked kinda cool though:rolleyes:


and yes, i like your open up map a lot.:D

I really enjoy these skins......all we need is multi-player on iris and we are officially a "Halo" rip-off!!!! lol


(But In A Good Way)

hmm and if there is weapon modding (completley) available... and if we can get a first person mode... it'll be perfect...

im glad you like them :D

nice skins i was getting kinda board of green

dude noobtaculus u do know that ps monkey got a real job and no one comes to this forum anymore so theres really no point in posting here
the only reason i came here is cause it said there was a new post which was u

mabey if you do make an installer or iris may get started back up again and that would be so sweet

i made a quite a few maps but im not happy with the glitchyness on some of them but i coud give u my best map for you to put in the installer just make sure u credit me for it ok

so do you want it ill post a screen shot if you do?

yo dude here it is. if u want it ill send u the bsp but be sure to credit me cause i dont want people steeling my stuff.

the map runs relatively smothly and its way smoother than most of the other big maps out there due to the fact that i spent more time bug fixing then i did acually mapping:D :thumbup:

here it is:thumbup: sry it took awile to upload:(
o and if i were you you should pm them and ask because i seriously doubt there comming to look at this forum

sry i think i made a mistake.
when you extract them go into ms0 and make a folder called iris and put maps and textures folders in there plz

um lemme check but i know beaver creek was made by my friend bigmace 12 but he changed his name to brooksyx

the multicolor master chiefs skins were made by pennineunited26
but the original master skin and model were made by someone else im not sure who sry

wait what? what r u talking about

i donno it worked fine for me ill upload it again and i fixed that thing i asked you to do so u dont need to anymore
also u do know this is not a halo map right its just a good iris map

its not letting me upload it for some reason but ill try again later

can u map or make models because if you can i could work on some halo maps and we could make a whole new mod

that might get allitle more attention then just a bunch of old files in a new installer

k here it is again but i didnt realize that this was a halo iris installer pack becaues this i not a halo map its just one of my thougth up creations
but if we could get iris going again i would love to start makeing some halo maps.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......stupid uploading times....................:D

dude r u even on cause u havent said anything in awhile

yea i have halo 1 for pc too and i have the halo 2 custom edition pack thing for it so i pretty much have halo 2 for pc aswell

make your maps in this- http://qeradiant.com/?data=files&files_id=76
then open them in this- http://qeradiant.com/?data=files&files_id=4
and convert to bsp_fullvis

also heres a good starting tutorial by product on mapping- http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=22158

u dont need quake 2 gold edition but if u have it its better.
i just use open arena
just make sure that your open arena folder is called quake III arena

you can get open arena here http://moddb.com/scripts/out.php?dl=5275&mr=2

Excuse me but DON'T quadruple post. use the edit button.

o sry about that

i cant email them right now but ill do it later.

yes it will work just make sure your radaint 1.4 knows what folder it is in. that is what i use and it works perfect.

[email protected] why?
when you start it it should ask where the folder is.
also theres probly somewhere under settings

k i got it ill send u what i hav as a start for hang em high. dont post it online yet im not done lol.

ok try useing smaller brushes for the wall because it looks to me like its all one big brush causeing it to glitch alot.


to do lighting:
-on the top,front, or side views make a small 1 block big brush.
-right click
-click light
-type in a number or hit esc for defult. i think 900 is good for your map
-place the light in the most open space there is
-if you used defult you might want more than one light and you might want to put them all around the map.
-play around with it untill you get the nicest least glitch lighting.

-to change the color of a light-
-select the light
-hit k
-choose a color
-if you dont choose a color the light will be defult white.

theres some more stuff but fix those first then mabey ill acually be able to see your map lol :)

also send me the .map file and ill look at it to see what you need help with.

k ill try that and ill get you the map file tomorrow. i started wizard. u working on sumthing?

k ill see it then.
yes im working on a map but its not from halo.
ill try a halo map after i finish this one.

-ok im looking at them now.
-you should not post them up untill you revise everything im about to say.

-do you have the revised version of my map?
the one i posted under a new thread,not the one i gave you.
because if you do theres alot of textures inside the budds_textures folder you dont need so you can delete that folder and re-paist the new one in because if you just said overwrite it wont delete files. and theres like 20 mb of textures you dont need in there so that will save space.
:) just something i noticed that will be good.
the only textures in there that you need are lime,base_concrete,smooth_floor,and wall_outside:)

-ok ill edit this post and tell you what to do to help your maps after i look at them.

-ok.
-i got 3 files
hang um high, wizard, and high

-hang um high- looks like an unfinished version of high you put in there by mistake so ill skip it.

-high-
-first off try to make it brighter by makeing the lights have a higher power or by adding more.
-next the framerate is not bad but could be fixed by holding ctrl and shift and selecting the surfaces of brushes that you cant see like the outside of the map and the inside of hollow things and changeing there textures to caulk (its in common so make sure when you make a common folder and put the caulk texture in there) this makes the engine not draw a texture there and it will speed up your map.do not make all the sides out of caulk because this will cause the map to leak, only the sides you cant see while playing should be caulk. For future refrence it is easyer to make a map entirely out of caulk then hold ctrl and shift to select surfaces and put the texture on them.
-next make sure you dont have overlapping brushes because that will cause it to freek out. you can probably delete this and just use ctrl and shift to put different textures on different sides of the brush if thats what you were going for. Its the first screenshot.
-next if you dont want your textures to keep repeating themselves then select the brushes (shift) and press s. this will open the surface inspector and you can check the box to unlock and then change the values in that box to make the texture bigger. your walls and sky could probobly bennifit from this but im not sure how that ugly wall texture would do streached out. its the second screenshot
-next there are alot of overlapping and not lineing up right in this map (the next 2 screenshots) try useing the clipper (select the brushes and hit x to toggle the clipper) to cut off parts or the brush so that it fits flush. you can also hit v and move the vertices around to make any kind of custom shape at any angle you want(i thing the vertices are easyer) also you can edit the vertcies to to make an odd shape that your having trouble with and its easy to fix overlapping.
-im pretty sure you figured this out but just in case your didnt you can click grid then change the gridsize al the way down to 1.zoom in with your mouse wheel and get extreamly percise movements and streaches.

ok well ill go look at wizard now and try to help you out with that.:thumbup: its comming along nicely

-wizard-
-first off i never really played halo on this level so i dont know what its supposed to look like.

-most of your problems were the same as in high.

-ok first it should be brighter. add more light or raise the intensity of your lights.
-the map is kinda slow at times but overall good. try useing caulk to fix this (i explained how to to this higher up on this post)
-theres some problems with your brushes being overlapped but not very many. (the 5th screenshot)
-try useing the v key to enable vertice editing or just make the leg things longer so that theres no gap between it and the ground (screen 6)
-i alerady said that i dont ever remember playing on this map so i dont know if thats supposed to be an octagon so if it is then dont listen to this part. or just listen for future refrence. when you have your brush selected and go to brush 8 sides (or 9 sides i didnt count them) instead of clicking on that click on arbitarary sided and you can type in a number anywhere up to i think 60 but it might be like 50 to get the best circle you can.(last screen)


o it looks like only the first 4 screens will show. no matter the last three are for wizard and you can just gess what im talking about it shouldn't be too hard.

o they work now so nvm

is there an easy installer just for iris 2.0?
