Incyclopedia

[G[v]N]

The finished Incyclopedia will be available at mods.halodemo.net.

[Rofldonutburger]

And that means it's not finished.

[Sparky]

Yeah. I'm actually waiting for Alt to release a version of Eschaton that allows more than the "legal" number of tags. (oh how ironic)

[Mike7766]

oh. ok then, very long time then.

[Sparky]

If you want, I will make an Application that will list all the tags known to the halo Modding Community, If someone would upload each tag seperatly, I'll make it so you go through a list and find what you want, double click it and the tag will download.

If Also needed, I'll make the tag import to a map of your choice

The uploading tag in single file may be tedious, but with the app and everything, It should prove really handy.

Sparky with your permission I can tell you how you can make HaloDemoMods send my app Updates, Incase new tags are added.

That way, The Application updates, and you got the latest and greatest.


Please note however that I am not an advanced Programmer, But this is withen my abilities.

Fonzie, are you still willing to make this application? I'm downloading published CE tags now and this would come in really handy. I've got all the weapons tags, and now I'm looking for vehicles, scenery, etc.

I'm also testing the potential of Eschaton 0.7.3, as far as importation limits.

[Devious]

That would be an amazing tool.

Especially if it included converted CE tags.

[Rofldonutburger]

0.7.3 is EPIC.

I could try, but I'm still learning....

Congratulations on our first release of the Incyclopedia mod series.

Volume 1 (weapons) includes these tag types:

eqip
itmc
weap

We still need some tags. I'm looking for an original working version of the m249 and m249 v2, like the source for the US Army vs. Mafia mod. No matter how I import it, the gun crashes the game when it is fired. I can't figure out why, yet. Too many particles, maybe? But that's pretty much the only one that's missing.

Some of the included weapons need adjustment. There is a ReadMe with my notes on this release, in .rtf format.

Latest test build "c2": http://www.halodemomods.com/sparkys_sec ... c-weap.zip
Read Me: http://www.halodemomods.com/sparkys_sec ... 0notes.rtf

Please give me your comments on how the tags may be improved. You'll see my comments in the read me about missing fp models and such. Please also test the map online and tell me any discoveries. Thanks.

----------

I can create custom tag names for modded weapons from our Halo Demo mods, so for example:

- Your mod is called "Ambush"
- You modded the AR so that it shoots trapping nets.
- The tags would look something like this:
weapons/ambush/assault_rifle.weap <--- the gun
weapons/ambush/assault_rifle/bullet.proj <--- the trapping nets projectile

Sound like a nice idea? That way, even minor edits of weapons can be included.

If you want your modded tags included in the Incyclopedia, just tell me which tags they are, and from which map.

Thanks.

[G[v]N]

I should release a reticule pack..

And maybe instead of mod, use the name of the creator. Like weapons/sparky/assault_rifle.weap.

=\

[Smythe]

And if (for some reason) you don't have enough tags for halo demo weaps we can always make moar!
EDIT: I love your mod!

[Devious]

It's not a mod, it's a resource

Please do. A wphi pack? Or bitmaps?

I like the idea of including the author's name in the tag, but it would only be for completely new tags, like a weapon using a completely new model. But also, modders here make more than one mod, so we might end up with several similarly-named tags if it's only the author's name. Perhaps including the author and the map, like:

mgm/sparky/galaxy_wars/vehicles/x-1_interceptor.vehi
mgm/moxus/crossing/easter-bunny-turret/exploding-easter-egg.proj

Happy Easter!

[Al Capwn]

This is probably the most awesomest thing in the history of ever. I'm already making an island mod with it Will post when finished.
