[JSG] Halo Engine

Posted by jsorgeagames on Oct. 29, 2007, 6:46 p.m.

My Halo Engine is coming along well, the waterfall is done. The engine currently includes:

v Master Chief

> Changes direction to fix impossible arm rotation

> Runs exactly like in Halo Zero

v Waterfalls, only place the emitter and you're done!

> Water parts over Master Chief's head

> Water creates steam when it lands

> Water Blocks create a plane for the water to go on

> Blocks stop Master Chief from going any farther

Jumping is not implemented yet, along with gravity.

Here is a screenshot of the water parting over Master Chief, in all his blue goodness.

In the engine, you do not have to delete blocks for water to go through, but I did just because the water goes farther out sometimes.

Can anyone help me with the online bit? I need it to be sort of like JakeX and FredFredrickson's games, where there is a server list and you do not have to type any IP addresses in.

Nice. Good luck. I planned on making an editor "Game" a while back. Might start making that over again.

And how does that blendmode whoring look when it isn't against black?

Actually, not bad. I tried it against gray, it looked pretty good. Now I'd better try white. [/jk]

How the heck did you manage that? That effect would be amazing to use in my game…

…As compared to serprex's waterfall codes. XD

The giant droplets…

I don't see why you would want your sprites running animations to be exactly like in halo zero. Yah it was a good game, but idk. Personally I'd scratch the halo engine, give it a different name, change the cheif sprites, and make a completely new game, but yah thats just me, and im a noob. :P

Yeah, the only thing I like about Halo Zero was the graphics, I mean, you couldn't even hold two guns. In all of my Halo games or examples, you can hold two.

@Kilin: There is a download link. And I will be submitting it as an example.

@jsorgeagames: Yes, I found that. It's pretty cool.

Thanks, sorry if I sounded a bit mean…

I'm having a bad day.
