Most of the stuff you have promised should have been in the last version,You shouldn't get everyone all excited about the new weapons and vehicles if there not going to work. Couldn't you spend half an hour and create a few simple projectile objects? You seem to spend a lot of time on nothing.

What are you going to do if i don't release something that i've said should be in? Am i going to go to hell? I might not release the game ever again, I dont care what you say. But you should get your facts right before posting. We have taken more time to do this version, to make it good. Notice how they're called Pre-Beta's? It's not an actual demo, it's just a pre-beta for testing. The last pre-beta had many MANY bugs and the HUD and weapons were all screwed up. We've taken the time, fixed a lot of the crap that was in the last one and we've added more then you think.

How do you know I haven't? If you're such a good game maker, why don't you create your own halo game? I do have a life outside game making, which tends to get in the way, but i try to work on the game as much as we can. Just because I haven't released another pre-beta in a while, doesn't mean im not working on it. It's only been 1 month...

if not a release, maybe some screens or a gameplay vid would be nice. but you know what? we already have a screen. with a flamethrower. woot.

I regulary post screens on this website. Go to the 'design a helmet or emblem' and there'll be some in there.

I'm not making my own halo game because:
1: I don't work alone, I'm still getting my payroll together.
2: Halo is only good for multiplayer and GM can barely handle that kind of connection.
3: We have low funding or you would know who we are by now.
4: My lead GML programmer would rather do concept art.

well, seems like if u... dislike this game so much maybe u should leave these forums and go somewhere else. One of our rules was not to come here to bash us, and although u have so far been a decent member, lighten up or get out.

Is the next version level editor going to be compatible with v.pre beta 5 level editor?

No sorry. I have changed many variables from that version, to make it better. I have also made MANY new objects, and normally this wouldn't be a problem, but i reorganised them. Also, the level editor will have a make over done HOPEFULLY for the next version. Sorry. Once we've got it organised, when we add more objects, it will still be compatible with your levels.

so you mean no?

or yes?
or v.7 will be compatible with 6?

Lots of people are bugging the team w/ game creation questions, and thery are obiously getting pissed off. If you have and questions please go to: www.techelpforums.com or tech.darkbb.com . The offical GML site is: http://www.gmlscripts.com/

How much bigger is biggest level editor size in the new HR than the current version?

I am not sure, Scotty should know.

You get to choose what size you want, from these 3 sizes.

3000x2000 pixels - 5000x2000 pixels - 8000x2000 pixels. But im going to make it after this version that you can select the width, and the height seperatly.

Scotty

that would be very good.

Sweet.

Everyone is talking about how the game is gonna be out in a week on the 7th and I'm excited too,
but it'd be fine with me if that was postponed for a later date if there is more to fix/add to make it
really good because that wouldn't be anything new. Super Smash Brothers Brawl was delayed first from
June of 2007 to October, to December, to February, to March 9th the final date. Almost a year!
But I mean of course on a smaller scale like days or weeks.

EDIT-Maybe not a good idea seeing as someone may come to my house and kill me for giving the idea.

lol well to tell you the truth, i will be busting my ass to get more done before the 7th of May, but i don't want to start a reputation of delaying promises, like Pokemon Twilight have done for a while now. (It was meant to be out for halloween). So whether it's ready or not, i'll be releasing on 7th May. I still have one week, so hopefully i can get a fair bit done.

Thankyou for your support though, i really appreciate it. After this demo, we're going to take a lot of time to improve the basics such as AI, any bugs, and once everythings up to scratch, we'll begin on storyline, and maybe even online gameplay. But that's a while away, so lets get this demo out before we worry about that

Thanks,

Scotty

well that's good news.
yes, no one is going to kill me!

Yeah, you will be very pleased with the new version, dont worry.

Yeah what he said

Yup! Only one more day till the release. I can't wait to play it! I am going to make so many cool maps!

We're pretty confident you're going to love it.

My first map is going to be a huge vehicle map.

Sweet.

Scot, whenever you can, upload a version with no sound, it lags whenever I do something with sound and the option for the sounds does not work right.
