Halo MOD?

Halo MOD?

from Sins Forums
Ok so I am just throwing this idea out there because I am a Halo fanatic and I think that this game could easily incorporate the Halo universe into it. I am not a very good designer but I can provide support and more ideas. There are already two races that could easily be changed into the Humans and the Covenant( TEC and Advent). All we would have to do would be to change ships some and add  gauss guns to most TEC Cap ships. I know this might take a long time but if it means that we will finally have a Halo space combat game then it will be well worth it.

Here are some Ideas I would like to add:

 

 

Frigates

Arcova Scout Frigate - UNSC Prowler

 

Cobalt Light Frigate - UNSC Frigate

 

Protev Colony Ship - UNSC Phoenix-class Colony Ship

 

 

Cruisers:

 

Kodiak Heavy Cruiser - UNSC Destroyer

 

Percheron Light Carrier - UNSC Carrier

 

 

Capital Ships:

 

Sova Carrier - UNSC Super Carrier

 

Kol Battle Ship, Akkan Battle Cruiser or Dunov Battle Cruiser - UNSC Marathon-Class Cruiser.

 

Fighters/Bombers:

 

TEC Bomber - C709 Longsword-class Interceptor (Bomber Variant)

 

TEC Fighter - C709 Longsword-class Interceptor (Fighter Variant)

 

Yes, I know the C709 Longsword-class Interceptor is both a fighter and a bomber, but I think it would work better in Sins if it came in two variants.

 

Ships without a UNSC counterpart:

 

Javelis LRM Frigate

 

Krosov Siege Frigate

 

Garda Flak Frigate

 

Hoshiko Robotics Cruiser

 

Cielo Command Cruiser

 

Marza Dreadnought

 

UNSC Ship Based Weapons:

 

Archer Missiles

 

Shiva-class nuclear missiles

 

Mac rounds (used to bombard Planets and in Ship-to-Ship combat)

 

Pulse Lasers (Prowlers Only)

 

50mm point defense guns

Reply #2055 from Sins Forums Top

Any modeling programm can work... simply need to export the final model to a format that XSI understand... I know that some people have their sketchup model converted and used in 7DS by Danman...

 

I have hear that Max is able to put the null point on the mesh... if it is true, model can be exported directly to .xsi, need only to use the convertxsi from Stardock...

 

But until it is confirmed, XSI is needed for the final stage, when you put mesh, texture, null point and everything together... and save the result to .XSI

 

For info, if you find someone who can texture with XSI, ask him to make a post here for explain how... texture is a 2D work, normally using tools like Gimp or Photoshop... i have never find paint option in XSI, maybe i have mish it !

 

In my case, for create my model, i use Wings3d... it is free, easy to use and give good result... and only 7mb for the download...

 

Screenshot below show wings3d in action... mesh is a modified Blamtroid model ( credit go to him ), texturing is not yet fully finish, need to correct some seam and some other thing...

Cheers! I'll add you to the credits list right now. I might rework the skin however.

EDIT: This is a HUGE file! Is this the entire mod or something? Can you post up just the CCS files and models?
End of CanadaMan777's quote

sorry about the titanic size...i screwed up some stuff and ended up copying the entire directories to fix it. Heres the a rar with just the XSI, the mesh, the 2 edited game infos and the crappy textures http://files.filefront.com/CCS+filesrar/;13020850; (This isnt a working mod like the other one)

when I open it in xsi nothing shows up...
End of All_Under_Heaven's quote

ill check it in a few mins. but it did work when i zipped it up.

EDIT: ok i just downloaded it to another hard drive and it works for me. i got it by going into xsi and doing file/import/dotxsi to a blank scene then the model and null points show up. I was able to recreate your problem by just hitting open. If you dont use the import function in xsi to put it in a blank scene xsi just start up as if you clicked its icon.

Thanks for the re-upload, downloading now...

End of Callum99's quote

 

In my case, i use wings3d... but almost any other software like Maya, Max, XSI and other can work... So, if you are already a pro with Max, don't need to change of software...

 

Models cannot be directly upload to sins... Your need XSI mod tools for the null points and export the whole to XSI format... once your XSI format ready, you need the convert XSI for create the .mesh needd for the game...

 

So, any 3D software who is able to export in a format that XSI understand can be used...

 

Wings3d is a very little software ( 7 mb download ), easy to learn ( simple interface ) and fast but the soft is very limited... Around 50k max for poly, max 4 texture map, max 4096px map... bad for high quality modeling but good for modding game... by example the max poly in sins is around 20k for orbital structure, 12k for capital ship... mainly, model use only one color map with a max size of 2048px...In Wings3D, you can create the model, make the UV and create the map template needed for paint... nothing more... it is a simple modeling tools, no a render one with complex light or texture ( only color texture allowed, no normal map, no self illumination, etc )

 

XSI mod tool is a good software but so big ( 400 mb ) and slow... GUI with hundred of option that you don't know where to click... so, i don't like it... but it is my personal feeling... try different tools and use the one where YOU feel the more confortable with... For info XSI mod tools and Wings3D are both free... Some people use Sketchup who is free too...
