HUDless screens?
 
I was looking a bit in the Halo community and came across those wonderfull screens: http://halouvre.sacredicon.com/hudless2.htm

I was wondering if we could do the same with Stranger

there is a tutorial over here: http://halouvre.sacredicon.com/h2hudtutorial.htm
and I know some of you guy found some way to get invisible in the game.

I don't have the material, but I was wondering if someone here could give it a try.

That's a great idea! I don't have photoshop, but reading the tutorial I don't think you really need photoshop. I think I can replace it with an other program.
*edit* darn I can't capture screens from my tv!

ConkerTribe 04-04-2005 12:17 PM

Um... Stranger doesn't have much of a HUD to begin with. What, like a health bar, and some other bars that pop up every now and then? Why would you want it to be HUDless anyways? Craziness!

Oddish 04-04-2005 12:22 PM

Stranger's bars and cross bow can go away, and in 1st person it will look good.

I don't think Stranger's Wrath has the blind skull...

ConkerTribe 04-04-2005 12:49 PM

Ok what is this "in person" you mention Oddish? 3rd person? 1st person?

And Mojo, what is this "blind skull" you speak of?

I'm truly lost here.

In Halo 2, the developers placed a hidden skull on each level that affects the game in one way or another. The blind skull makes the hud disappear, the key step in the tutorial requires this skull. It will only works with Halo 2.

Oh, hah, I never finished Halo 2. Got too boring for me. In any case, yeah, I suppose we're stuck with the HUD. Oh nooesss!!!111!!!11!

Xavier 04-04-2005 01:29 PM

MojoMan, yes that's true... but on the other hand you can make Stranger invisible with activing the invincible code and then be "killed" with something falling on you.

the thing I wanted to point out is that it would be nice to create such big screens of landscapes like those guys did

Oddish 04-04-2005 01:41 PM

I do like the idea though. It could be new oddworld fan feature.

WAH?!?!?!!?!?!
HALO? =? BORING?
YOU ARE THE DEVIL! DEVIIIIIIIIL!

I forgot about that trick, it should be possible then.

Yes, yes indeed. Very much so. Just play Quake 1, you'll get the exact same experience.

People, there isn't even a HUD to begin with. Wow- a health/stamina bar. Sometimes a boss health bar. How the hell would you know when you die?

Xavier 04-05-2005 12:30 AM

I was more talking of the crossbow... with it in the middle of your screen you can't do that kind of screens

When your birds have all flown away.

Who made those!?

Alcar 04-05-2005 09:54 PM

I'd say they were done using a debug tool, such that you could fly around in the game. They were made by an Oddworld Employee :)

Alcar...

Cloverfield 04-05-2005 11:05 PM

Hah, I remember that. I got stuck somewhere due to a bug at the time when I was playing back in May last year and they had to activate that mode. It was quite amusing to watch.

Abe Babe...

Xavier 04-05-2005 11:48 PM

heh, beautifull screens you have there Alcar... yes that's the kind of effect I would have like, but without the flying ability of cource :p

Chimaera Dragon 04-06-2005 06:14 AM

The screens of oddworld can only be beautifull. With Halo there is more action,
My capture card is coming this week. I will try to make some screens, but then again. I can't fly. But perhaps in the mine cart I can get some shots.

*OT* I found away out of the mine carts, the level before you go to the black market, is that glitch already found? I'm bounting outlaws in first person now and is looking cool. The search button is not giving me good results.

Oddish 04-06-2005 08:39 AM

Those are beautifull shots, but I can see a glich on the second one.

Nate 04-06-2005 03:27 PM

What glitch?

I was wondering about that. I couldn't remember ever being able to go up so high in the Mongo Wilds.

I never noticed how purdy shadows on water look.

It's not a glitch, you're just able to see the end of the world in the upper, left hand corner.

Nate 04-06-2005 05:47 PM

Gotcha, I thought that was just mist first time I looked at it.

Hunk of Steef 04-06-2005 06:05 PM

I wish I could do that, it is a beautiful view. I never thought we would ever have the technology to make videogames look so good.

duveaux 04-07-2005 10:23 AM

Yup, but there are better places then town. with nicer landscapes. On the bounty of elbooze freely there's a beautifull landscape...
