Subject: Can We Remake the 1999 Halo?

I have Halo: Custom Edition and I saw a video on youtube of some guys demonstrating the old Halo that was going to be for the Mac and it was going to be a TPS. I really liked how it looked with all the weapons like the Gravity Wrench, the Fuel Rod Gun that would shoot rockets, and the Assault Rifle with a grenade launcher. I was wondering if anybody could who has Halo Custom Edition can work on something like that. I'm sorry about asking you guys but I don't have the tools and I can't download all the things I need because my computer already has a whole bunch of games taking up space. Can anybody help?

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

Could you post a link?

You mean this?

Or this?

Besides I suggest you make any requests at Halomaps.org. I'll warn you though, they don't like requests. Maybe you should find the time to learn to mod Halo yourself? It would be more rewarding for you that way.

I've tried both suggestions. They said we would probably need a more advanced graphics engine like Source or something to create it, but I think we can do it. We've got TPS downloads already, all we need is the map, weapons, animaitons, and other crap to make (okay, lets face it, I'm screwed until I get a new computer but I can still hope). As for the modding, I have tried to learn about how to do it. I modded a pelican into Blood Gulch using a program that showed me how to do it, and it created a different map. It said I needed to bring the map up using spark edit and create a spawn point for it but it wouldn't bring the map up for some reason (not to mention I didn't know how to place a spawn point for it).

I'll keep trying but I'm probably not going to get anywhere until I get mw new computer so I can have more space to download the programs.

You mean the evelution of halo video or footage of it in its RTS state with a bunch of marines and stuff. I think that was the key to Halo 1. It evolved from a RTS. But, no, I have custom edition, but I'm just learning how to mod it and make maps. Learning how to use 3d studio is very hard. And even then, I have other tecknicle difficulties.

I'm talking about the game that was Third Person (TPS) that was in the first evelution of Halo vid and was the first one that was demonstrated (before they demonstrated the E3 version).

well i have halo custom edition so i could attempt to somewhat remake the '99 version but i need some one to tell me how to add ai's using sapien i do what every guide says but when i try to edit a map the .scenario file isn't there if someone can tell me what I should do i will try to make a '99 version of halo.

Well, I was thinking of a regular multiplayer, but if you want to add the AI's that would be cool too. And sorry, I don't know how to add in the AI's. :(
