Halo's only problem is the endless levels through repeating areas. And then making you do it all over again, backwards. I don't even shoot anything in those levels. I just run. :/

*snipe*



A new thermal detonator powerup.

I've reached the point where JK will no longer load all the new resources on top of res2.gob.

Just get someone to make a patcher that replaces the old stuff inside res2.gob with your stuff :]

I really like the belt but I'm confused about what the blue thing under it. I assume its the model you want to showcase.

Indeed. In most cases, it can be done in one, assuming the enemy has already sustained some damage. A successful bryar snipe is so satisfying.

Does the belt have a hole in the middle, or is it a black thingy of strangeness (like the default JK armor vest....) :p

It's something from Xzero's Dead Cell level, not for JKE.

Just make sure the Thermals ACT like Thermals. They're supposed to be MASSIVE grenades, right? I've despised that about every JK game. The explosion is wimpy, and the grenade is supposed to pack a big punch.


I love the Magnum in Halo 2, and wasn't ever a huge fan of the pistol in Halo. Somehow running through a level killing everything you came across with a PISTOL when you have an Assault Rifle never made sense, so I never used it much. Found the Assualt Rifle more satisfying anyway. Multiplayer is a different story. I'll use it pretty frequently there.

The key to Halo 2's Magnum is to choose your shots. It'll still take down Flood in one hit, and it's still a pretty good weapon. Ammo is just scarce in the campaign. Pair it with a Plasma Pistol and you might as well be using the old Halo version.

MODEL, UPDATE, ONLY, OMGZ RTFT. :p :p :p

Agreed. As I recall, 2 of those things took down Xizor's palace (to this day, i never figured out why LEC put thermal-dets in their games instead of some other type of anti-infantry grenade... or at least another kind of thermal det).

There are different levels of power for TD's. I think it's something like A to E?

It would make sense. But you'd think that the various power-level models would also look different from one another (so that people wouldn't believe that their carrying a low-yield charge when in fact they've got enough explosive to level a city block).

Ya'll can agree to TD power or whatever, but it still won't make JKE anything but models. :p

If you want to pester someone about JK Weapons, uh, pester me? I'd like for JK Tactical Assault to have JK Weapons, but, uh, revamped.

Any other models planned Shred?

/me pesters Hell Raiser :p

At the very least, I'd like to finish off the civillian models and the ammo powerups. There're also some MP skins left.. But after the last 3 models, I've gone beyond the limit. Certain single player levels won't even load any more

Aaaaw, don't worry :p !

I'm sure our extremely skilled coder will fix something ...

What limit?

Assuming one of the lovely coders can break the resource limit, what are the chances of the other enemies being remodelled? Like Mynocks, those red fishy things, the AT STs etc.

of course! Shred is a machine.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Haha! Time to find the magical constant barrier that was reasonable a decade ago.

I don't normally poke around in here, but I saw Shred's name so I had to look.

****ing awesome. Shred, Between other work I've seen you do (TDiR and that DOOM3 Cacodemon spring to mind) and this, you are truly a god among men.

Credit goes to CaptBewil, who made most of this R2 model.

Hmm, he looks kind of tubby. Or is it the angle?
Textures look ace.

shiney

Yeah he could definitely stand to be taller. Also his eye could be darker too. I likes.

doesnt look like his body/head is a perfect circle... more like the kind of cylinder GtkRadiant makes (kinda squished near the edges). i think the mesh needs some overall tweaking because the legs are too fat as well, and those tubes look really huge (not that it's that big of a deal) but the legs are noticable.

i love the textures on it, it's just the model itself is off in a lot of places.

Cazor is right.
Heres a nice reference:



The top of the legs should start slightly lower too.

R2D2, WITH A VENGEANCE!



hahahahaha

lolol

Good model, but for those who are saying "IT'S NOT LOOKING LIKE THE TRUE R2D2," when was R2D2 in JK?

it's not r2d2, but it's an astromech droid that looks exactly like him, like the 100,000 million others that have been made in the star wars universe that all look exactly the same.

and, um. if you wanna get technical.. shred said it was R2.

AWESOME.

As for your res2.gob problem, you can always do with TDiR did and replace the res2.gob, removing or replacing resources that your mod doesn't need from the original GOB.

oh my god... make an arm for him. Make him available in MP. Do it now.

ahahahaha, that's hilarious!

OMG thats my new favorite MP model lawlz!

It's like using Elvis is the old Perfect Dark for N64. It's just fun to own someone with a little short dude. Oh yeah, and try to get rid of th footstep sound in that model, and replace it with the sound of R2s wheels rolling.

He's got it using r2.snd.

He did. O_o

Have I ever told you you're my hero? I love you....(In a totally heterosexual way)

That image isn't accurate in any way shape or form. Trace the picture to the website it came off of and you'll find out why. BTW, I have that image on my hard drive when I was researching it.

Some info on the model (for those that are interested):
I used an authentic schematic (or so it was said to be) that I found on the web somewhere. I used a ton of reference images (including shots of the R2 units in SWG). AND I used the original r2 unit from the game to match of the proportions. The idea was for someone to be able to take the model and let it be an exact replacement for the r2 that was already in-game. Is it perfect? Not at all, but I think within the constraints I was working with and the way Shred brought it into the game, it serves it's purpose 'well enough.'

Shred add the center leg (that I was too lazy to do). I'm not sure if he did anything else (architectually) to the model (other then the arms). I will say it's missing some extra detail that I didn't feel like putting into it (specifically on the legs, but also on the head unit as well). He did a fantastic job with the textures and I'm very happy that he got it working in-game.

Did anyone play DroidWorks? With the arm that's what it reminds me of. :p

I went to class, had a few minutes, and crapped myself when i visited the Hub (not really)
