Misc CE Development

That outfit seems impractical.

The sleeves are real big.

Here is a demonstration of something I did a while ago that I will be using in my currently unannounced projects.

 

 

I won't be applying this to the existing campaign, it would be too much work with no enough reward, instead I will implement it in my currently unannounced single player project.

The way this works is that I am essentially running the game at double the default speed and have the gravity put down to a factor of 0.25 to simulate the same physics as default CE. For this method all animations need to be reimported (Or converted now that MosesOfEgypt made a converter), and times need to be doubled, rates need to be halved, which is why I only suggest doing this when you are making your whole tagset from scratch.

 

The only thing here that is still at the wrong speed is the effects, which will be redone for my project anyways.

But as you can see 60fps in CE is possible and works just fine.

This prototype was set up in about a day, this was possible because MosesOfEgypt made a converter for 30 to 60 that converts the animation tags without ever having to open 3dsmax.

Hopefully this results in a new standard for releases. I still play with the 30fps lock because anything higher on Halo has been too jarring...

 

I can't wait to play a proper 60fps Halo game.

I find this more interesting than a lot of other mods i see these days. I'm interested in what this unannounced release is.

This sounds like it could be automated... what part of this still requires manual work? Just the reimporting? Are you doing this with the HEK?

[gbMichelle 182]

Well the animations are automated now, but not all the timings in the tags.

 

And yeah this is in the hek.

Very nice! Now, let's convert everything over to this. Pretty sure I'll hate playing anything without this if I get used to it.

We'll see a slew of re-releases either from original authors or people who need Halo at 60FPS

 

Halomaps will double in amount of files if not triple.

That seems doubtful to me, especially as this still (to my knowledge) doesn't work in multiplayer environments. Halomaps' database has also taken more than a decade to reach where it is now, and it will take a far longer to double that, particularly because there's not anywhere near as many content creators around do put in such an overhaul.
