Halo scenario

[HunterAnubis]

Hi

[Bjornlo]

patience is a virtue.

 

[HunterAnubis]

are you trying to say something or just spaming ?

 

[Bjornlo]

I like spam, especially with hot sauce and eggs... and maybe a side of toast and coffee. But, I was saying look over some of the previous posts for a previewed MC, just making a few changes.

please insert a snide rebuttal here. I am just not feeling grumpy enough to do it myself.

Also have made a warthog... though not pleased enough with it to preview.
In addition:
Battle Rifle, Assult rifle, plasma rifle, plasma pistol, needler, carbine and maybe the gernade launcher (can not recall name) have been made to some degree or another (most are 90% complete or better).

I have crude (very nasty and not good enough) of some of the aliens. I do not have any of the marines made as I thought some of navydawg's units were close enough (especially the future soldier of around 1-2 months ago).

But, I am currently very busy and easily distracted and so I can not promise a time table.
On the plus side, I "might" be able to get a faster computer in a month or so and this would make me able to dawdle and procrastinate with much more effeciency.

That doesnt matter Ill be glad if you could help out if you find time.
I checked the models you mentioned and from the preview I think they could be done bit better.
Btw I use some of your work (Stargate stuf its a shame you didnt do Ori, Atlantis and other stuf)
Anyway I would be very greatfull if you and anyone else could try to create some Halo units so I have something to work with

 

[Quinzy]

Could be done a bit better? What's the point seeing as you'll be looking at it in civscale?

 

[HunterAnubis]

becose some of us have big monitors and if you seen that model it could get bit improved. For example look at metal gear rex thats one detailed unit

 

[COAtlantis1745]

Well, I'd be interested in this particular project. I am very surprised one hasn't been done already. I will supply unit sounds/ambient effects and general research.

Count me in.

 

[HunterAnubis]

Units sounds are very important your in.
I was also suprized that there is no Halo mod for civilization 3 Im just hoping it wount take to long to make and I hope we could make a realy great mod out of it.
I prefer quality over quantity so everyone will take theyer time to make theyer part of work as good as posible.

did anyone knew about this game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLXCalUxa0&feature=related I gess it would be a good source of 3 D models in case we couldnt get a good look on same units but I thinkwe will be able to to make models from in game fotidge of original game

Hey guess what Bungie has shut down every major attempt to make a halo strategy mod.

 

[Quinzy]

You're not serious are you? Ah crap...

 

[cubsfan6506]

I am I would suggest talking to bungie. That's probally your best bet. The odds of them just not noticing this are slim. I would outline the difference between this and Real Time Strategy. (So it will not come into conflict with the up coming halo wars.) I really only know of one that they shut down. But this was for a rts which would of put it into competition with the upcoming halo wars.

 

[COAtlantis1745]

Then again a simple fan-based mod such as this would be a serious piece of free advertising for the up-coming RTS gig.

 

[cubsfan6506]

It would actually be a reason for many not to buy it.

 

[HunterAnubis]

as far as Im conserned it will be a free fan mod that will turn civilization into halo civilization. I dont think we need any permition since we wount get paid for this and its going to be free.
I think we should start by making land units like tanks warthogs ghosts infantry.

 

[cubsfan6506]

Yes you actually do need permission.

 

[HunterAnubis]

I didnt see Orthank asking for ANY permisions when he was creating metal gear rex and ray or the guy who made stargate ships or the one who made star wars space ships so we will make units and in the end we shall put them together even if I would have to rename it to - the great ring of ozz.So im sorry to disapoint you but I hope we will do the halo mod

 

[cubsfan6506]

No they didn't but none of those companies have a stick shoved up their ass and any of them could of ordered a cease and disest under penalty of the law.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

....This is why I'm glad that Square-Enix operates under Japanese law when it comes to fan-work (Japanese companies pretty much are hands-off in regards to fan work, and will actually publish some of the better stuff...)

...As for what Hunter Anubis is saying, he's on the right track: If you re-named the mod and the units, and as long as the models used are original 3rd-party models (and especially if they're slightly changed), then Bungie can't do squat: The reason is that now it is, for the purposes of copyright law, a parody of Halo, and not Halo itself, and parodies are protected by copyright law (Wierd Al Yankovich does not HAVE to get the original artist's permission when he records a parody of a popular song, but he does so as a matter of courtesey).
