Halo 3 ODST Drop Pod Version 1 - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=Bail Organa3;19497661]im still here(though i wish there was more progress)[/QUOTE] Well the laughingcheese and my bud 017 are working on the ODST pod entity, like an actual one (not a dupe). But if this is any compensation our ghillie suits should be done tonight or tomorrow, and all you fellow noob hunters can do some raping haha. Btw, if anyone wants something ripped from Modern Warfare 2 (any gun, vehicles, players) leave a comment, I can rip the models and our coders can make it into an entity or player or whatever you want lol. Ghillie suits soon.

Cant wait for v2. I would help you with this, but my PC is low on HDD. I will help you soon.

My friend 017 and Thelaughingcheese are working on an acutal entity. 017 is modeling the Halo 3 ODST pod as we speak, and to so far the pictures look outstanding. I won't post any because I don't have permission, this isn't my project lol.

2 hour contraption that takes forever, Then abandoned because it's to hard and then revived as a sent instead. Great.

I just don't feel like making it anymore, and my friend and Thelaughingcheese are working on the pod sent, so forget the duped pod. Same goes to the other guy making duped pods, once the sent comes out your pod will have no downloads.

Nobody wants to have 500 sents that increase the start time of garrysmod, which is already huge. I would prefer having a dupe that i could spawn in all servers.

Hell, over 10 sents ought to be a record. There aren't nearly enough truly good SENTS available to make your point valid; You would have to go running around downloading random junk SENTS to even come close to 20-25 SENTS as it is. Additionally, your dupe wouldn't have either the A. Detail or B. Amount of functions, that the SENT Pod LaughingCheese and I are working on. (I'm the modeller.) Unless you think you can somehow replicate every little bump, detail and appearance of the pod with random props taken off of Garrysmod.org, your point is so far gone that I don't even see what the whole "SENT<Contraption" argument was going to do. Even if you do somehow replicate the pod with the same level of detail, you will have used so many props on it that it will be worse than 20 laggy SENTS trying to run in the same area, or it will have to have a whole new texture. Which is of course, pointless since why would you waste your time texturing every little prop used for it when anybody who already has said models will not see it because it's a reskin? The whole entire "one more SENT makes for tons more loading time" argument is also retarded. You are arguing about a few more bits of LUA and some models and textures being added to the game... which adds what, one to two more seconds of load time? This would only affect you if you were running a machine so old that it ought to be put out of it's misery. Additionally, if anyone has questions about the pod's model/texturing, feel free to PM me.

I have a lot of crap on Gmod and my loading time is a maximum of 15 seconds. It's already been decided that I'm not making the pod anymore, and I might consider closing the thread if people spam me about the dupe. We have other plans than making a shitty dupe, and plus making it is so boring. It's just a waste of time working on , plus I'd much rather see the sent that ll7 is making, because it looks so much nice and crisper than my V2, and it has every detail. I could never match it with a dupe, no one could. So to all the people that keep complaining about me not releasing V2, stfu and gtfo.

Why would you want to script and model something you can do in garrysmod, and release as a tiny text file? If i have a dupe, I can paste that almost everywhere. If i have a crappy sent that will stop working in a few updates, I can only paste it in servers that have it. [QUOTE=trooper226;19539387]Thank god you made that point.

Besides, I would definitely download a crappy dupe, next to a sent, even if it was good. Why? It's smaller. It can be used everywhere.

Lol wow. This isn't a contraption anymore. Its just an arguement thread and has turned into a thread that doesn't belong here. If you wanna make a SENT go ahead. But this is the contraptions forum. This is no longer a contraption. Make a thread somewhere else.

I've said V2 is no longer in production, and that the sent is being created. There is no forum for the sent because it has not yet been released.

My V2 looked a lot better and could possibly have been released and gotten many downloads. But let's have a reality check. Dupes vs SENTs. Dupes: too many props, nocolliding issues, collapsing, noobs not having PHX or wire and spamming me "ERROROROEROROROR", lag when spawning, framerate disruption. SENTs: barely any props (by that i mean the models it uses), near none nocolliding issues, never a collapsing issue, noobs will not spam me about errors / get errors at all if downloaded correctly, no framerate disruption if your computer doesn't compute at the speed of ass. That is why the SENT is being made, and I'm trying to tell people to be patient and to either download that or make their own dupe. I'll probably make more contraptions in the days to come, just a PM request and it'll be done (if it hasn't already been professionally made). Most likely I won't have to, because I can port models to ll7 and he'll make them into a SENT. I'll see if ll7 or I can make a thread about the SENT, so I don't have people wagging their finger at me for this not being a contraption thread anymore.

Although ll7 and can't use our ripper to take the actual ghillie models from Modern Warfare 2 and we're thinking of a way, lol. We're sort of planning on making Star Wars: The Force Unleashed NPCs, so that should be pretty good.

Yeah, I'm only doing the modeling. LUA coding isn't my forte. :P

[QUOTE=ll7;19583602]Yeah, I'm only doing the modeling. LUA coding isn't my forte. :P[/QUOTE] Haha, I meant your model, not the SENT *face palm*. Either way, the pod should be pure badass. I have high hopes you can script it to perfection cheese.

This was interresting, are you still working on this Version 2? If not, I guess I'll have to make one my self.

So what are you working on on your server now trooper? Btw how is the server?

[QUOTE=Bail Organa3;19592395]So what are you working on on your server now trooper? Btw how is the server?[/QUOTE] The server's fine, we mainly roleplay on our clan's dedicated server (owned by 017). You should join, it hosts for 30 players with very little lag. We also have plans for the most epic map in Garry's Mod history.

Yes. Do tell. (hello,its bakertj)

[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;19634936]Yes. Do tell. (hello,its bakertj)[/QUOTE] Hey baker. Well, this map is going to most likely be the most epic map in gmod history. You will literally have to wear a bicycle helmet so when your head explodes it doesn't get everywhere. It's going to be LIKE a spacebuild map, but not completely one. Instead of consisting of about 10 small planets, it will be one large planet. Now, I don't think I'm allowed to give too much info on this, but I will give you some awesome details. First, there will be a ship orbiting the planet. HUGE ship. And we are researching a vacuum effect, so that if you are in the ship and a window breaks next to you, you are instantly killed and sucked out and your corpse lazily falls to its doom. We will include ODST pods and such, so yeah. I will be doing research right now with some [SM] (our clan) members, and later on some concept art of the map. I'll paste concept art images on the page once I have some good ones. Also these will NOT be microsoft paint, and I will hand draw them (I am a very good artist). So once I draw some concepts I will create a thread for the map and you can pitch some ideas.

I figure I ought to straighten out the info trooper is giving you guys, so here goes: firstly, the map is not a planet. It is going to be like a regular map with an actual atmosphere high above it. There will be a Covenant and a human ship in orbit, which will launch HEV/Covenant insertion pods. They will also launch pelican dropships as well as covenant dropships. The ships will not be to the scale of the pillar of autumn, but will still be large. I'm not sure what the covenant ship will look like yet, but the human ship will be a brand new ship- not the IAC or any pre-existing ship. This is mainly because I don't want to have to make stupid shapes for the interior hallways, so this way the ship's substructure will fit the exterior snugly, unlike the POA or so on. I have other stuff in the works to go along with this, but I'm gonna avoid telling too much about it for now, since not enough is done to warrant making a thread for it.

You should make a new thread instead of discussing your servers and shit in the contraption section.
