ill be making a small bar on my site to show updates and progress as well :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

-----------------------------------------------------------

Update 1

Well... not much news on DE2, so im looking at other engines...

so far i have Q2 and Q1 but i dont know yet....

ill be working onwards and in worse cases...i can convert it to whatever engine i choose :)

-----------

Update 2

still moving onward.... hes a mapping update...

click here

-------------------------------------

Update 3

reopened and working on it again.

now we have moved it to quake engine. and it has a slight name change which is HQM until a better name is suited ( but ill probably stick with it )

SO.... anything post #161 and on is current news... as everything has been discarded ( remodeling and retexturing.... hopefully for better quality )

EGADS!!!!! Halo for the PSP..... DO NOT CORRECT ME!!! :rofl:

Freaking awesome, PSPdemon! Looking very much forward to it, the DE2 looks amazing (for everyone else, search for its gallery) to work with. Do you happen to know circa when it will be released?

Good luck, you have my full support! I'll try to come up with suggestions for it. :)

Thanks :)

Release is TBA, because it all depends on when DE2 is released....or when i can get my hands on its map maker :)

right now, im just working on what i can in DE1 so when i make the move to DE2, itll be alot easier ( just have to make maps and add additions that may be included into DE2 ;) )

Right now im working on getting the set of hands in so that when your in first person....it doesnt look like your one handing a two handed gun...

The first release will probably be a basic release.....more of a demo if you will... itll have...

1 type enemy
1 gun ( i have to make sets since MC and AI/NPC's have to be handeled differently with each gun )
1 map - probably a little beta map to test things out ( weapons, enemies, ect... )

Im having a little trouble with MS3d exporting the MD3's correctly...though i may have a soulution ( though its time consuming.....but well worth it i suppose )

If anyone wants to help me find fanmade/user-created models ( not ripped from the game ) i would appreciate it... as i t would make the process easier and possibly make the release of this mod come out a little quicker ;)

Also, screnshots of exsisting maps or fanmade maps would help...and possibly pictures of the stylizing of the halo universe ( so i can make the levels and feel of the world feel haloistic )

Ill post updates as they come.

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

Great announcement PSPDemon :) thanks for the heads up, you legend :)

Nice photo/screen, PSPdemon! :thumbup:
BTW, I have a Dungeons engine 2 game concept too:

[POC] DeSpair
http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/5...ogobe3fpv5.jpg

I have a concept (currently just in my imagination :) ) of the new game (DeSpair), based on DE2... :rolleyes: Something beautiful in techo-gothic stile (like Quake) + "fairytale" fantazy art elements (like Okami) with the classic hardcore FPS gameplay... :rolleyes: I hope, DE2 will be powerfull enough to realise the ideas... and I also hope, that I won't be too lazy :-)

P.S. And a music example: http://files.filefront.com/autumnogg.../fileinfo.html to reach the aural nirvana in the Despair... :rolleyes:

Arrrrrrg, why nobody use lte engine!?!?!?!?!?!?!

well..... im working hard on this......im right now decideing which engine to choose....

but heres a pic of my latest work mapping wise.... it has place holder graphics on it right now... but ill change them when i get closer to finishing it..

can you tell me what it is? ;)

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...aceholder_.png

more to come when i get it done...

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

:)


Good stuff.

Okay, im looking at a few things still....

Engine wise im undecided....so im going to ask you what do you think...

here are the choices so far...

-Quake 1 ( has both adhoc AND infrastructure :) )

-Dungeons Engine 2 ( unreleased )

-Quake 2 ( not so sure about this one.... since its still a bit buggy )

thats all the engine i know that are coming up or released and that are possibilities...

do please tell me what you think and what i should use :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

I'd wait for the DE2 release... ;)

BTW Q2-port is also a good solution, McZonk is working hard on it and it's progressing fast...

Q1 is IMHO too limited and aslo still unfinished... :(

LTE2.0 is a bit buggy, slow and it's much harder to make the FPS based on it... And the project seems to be dead, there are no sources...

Iris - very early beta, cancelled project, no future... :(

I took the time to make some screen shots of user created maps! well, will the mod be able to play over infarstructure? and will i require something else then a homebrew compatible psp?

the link to my public box.net which has the images: http://www.box.net/shared/q8ufblhqph halo PSP ROX :thumbup:

EDIT: well does that help?!

EDIT2: will there be wehicles, plz SAY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

depending on which engine i go with.... i really can only do a multiplayer game.... otherwise i might void the GCUL.... which would get me a automatic shutdown or in this case... C&D ( last project like that i got shut down immediently )

you would only need a homebrewable PSP and a computer to run the server on ( as far as i know ) OR you can use adhoc ( if i go with the Quake 1 engine ) but it requires more than one homebrewed PSP

as for the help part....im needing pasically what the maps really look like on Halo one ( all standard maps with no mods to them.... and there texture qualities... ) my computer lacks so running halo is kinda bad on my system ( all settings reduced to none or low... rofl )

as far as Vehicles are concerend.... i dont see a possibility in that.... as none of the engine's im using use vehicles or meshes of anysort or really anything thats driveable for that matter.... i could add them in there...but they wouldnt be anything more than a object...

if you can get detailed shots of the original Halo 1 ( maybe Halo 2 ) maps ( and i mean detailed shots ) that would aid me alot in texturing and building of these recreation maps :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

little update...

im doing my mod on Quake 1 for right now ( since its easy to convert to anyting so far.... )

if i decide to move to Quake 2...its gonna be really easy since i have most of the stuff done for the Quake 2 version anyway...

and say DE2 is released....agian it will be easy ( itll take the longest of the 2.....but its still easy :) )

anyway...heres the Quake 1 model converted.... enjoy :D

Looking good so far mate..:)
Keep up the good work..

no vehicles?! :( srry im a noob. so wat can u do?

this is looking really good. i cant wait for this to be released. everything seems to be happening really quick and easy. keep it up! hey if you ever need a beta tester for single player or multiplayer, whatever, ill can do it if you need me. me, my brother and my 2 freinds all have homebrew enabled psps. but anyways.... i love what im seeing. your doing an awsome job and id hate to see this one not go through ( which it looks like itll be finished). keep up the good work!

hey, cuz u cant use halo vehicles, could i design them?

he cant use any vehicles. the engines wont allow them. it doesnt matter if you make them or not.

yo if you need halo one map pics i can get you 2-3 good pics from the maps but using the first person view

also i could try halo 2 wich i have on my pc but its a little slow so i dont know i could try pm me if you want me too help

no vehicles! that sux ****

i know!!! but he still cant copy them othervise he,ll be shuttdown. so like in halo 2 it shows posters of warthogs and model #. so i could make the previous one or so.



KevinTROOPER

Quote:

as a texture? on the map or as a model? as i said....they wouldnt be anything more than a object.... you can drive them...sit in them...or anything.... just a visual object....

if your computer shows the textures as they would on the xbox version..... please do take as many pics as you can ( mainly between texture changes and all the different areas of the map )

im using spark edit to get most of my idea of how they look.... but as far as Halo 2 maps are concerend...i have no way of viewing them

if you could as well get screenshots of halo 2 maps ( Zanzibar would be great ) please do that as well :)

right now.....i can make close replicas of them.... which is easy to do..... just takes more time than ussual...

NOW THEN.... as for a update... i have the AR in.... messing around trying to figure out what weapons ill be adding and what weapons i cant..

ill be editing the Quake source ( and depending on which version i can use....[ i have to ask PeterM ] depends on what i can add....

heres the AR skinned and ready

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...yforimport.png

NOTE: i know about the hole in the front of the gun.....its missing polys....nothing to be woried about...when you seem them ingame....you really dont notice the hole at all... ( though if it doesnt look like when i run it on Quake....it just means me having to fill in the missing :) )

ill keep yall tuned as i go about...

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

well, cool but, em,.... good job!!!!!:) it there gonna be 3rdpv

i can take halo 2 pics better then xbox. well wat exactly u looken for? in single player are there gonna be scenes?

cant do a singleplayer game yet..... only multiplayer...

on halo 2.... im looking for small maps.... Zanzibar would be good and anything that size and down...

again.... Vehicles are not possible.... all i can do is add it in there for visual....but not interactive..

on blood gultch and sidewinder....i might have a bit of a trouble.... i will have to make alternte versions of them due to the distance draw limit....

since the distance draw is shorter than i thought.... anything over the distance of say.....hang em high... gets cut out :(

so again....ill have to make different versions of those maps...

im working on animating the models currently.....its taking longer than i thought... since frames are handled differently than Quake 2

also..... CYGWIN doesnt seem to like me at all..... as i cant update or install the toolchain or get what i need for the Quake source.... though im still trying my best to get it working :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

wait....so u stilll want battle creek pictures?

still pushing hard on the engine....updates will be slow until i learn more :p

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

ok! i will then. if you want any halo1 maps or anything from halo1 just tell me and ill get it for u.

hmm looks like it could be a great mod when DE2 gets released.

nice work demon, long time no see ;)

It keeps looking and sounding even better, PSPdemon. Looking forward to updates. Go you! :)

little update....

i decided to see how the model would look at its closest possible view with skin ( cause if it would look really bad....i would redo it.... ) but for quake it looks prety darn good ( IMO )

heres the screencap of it running in-game ( purposely have it that way to view the skin )

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...n/snap0006.jpg

more updates to come as i get them in

Here is that same model on QuakeDS (Sorry for poor image, this was my cellphone at 1AM)

looks likes its coming along great! i cant wait for this to come out!

Got access to better camera now, btw Armorhells are awesome. it's like armor and shells TOGETHER! :rofl:

Holy win this is sexy. I can't wait.

wait, cool, so its also working on ds? that would be awesome if there was multiplayer interactions
