Yes. do the last false as a true when compiling with extensions. Also there will be an update soon guys. Hang in there.

We're hanging... just barely oh so hanging...

I'm curious of something, you've had the feedback from users for sometime now, and I'm curious as to what the majority has been saying. Do they miss the old cmt custom style or are they all in for the flashy new more graphic focused style?

The new style is great. I'd love some extended bps though.

Bps? Or Bsp? What do you old custom style compared to the new flashy look? Isn't it still going to have custom things and extended bsp's just like the old ones, just with better graphical looks to them? Any chance you guys are going to optimize some how to cause less lag for some people?

The update is coming, but I'll try to answer some of your questions.

Delicon: If you were disappointed by a50's gameplay, I don't think you will be disappointed by what we're doing now. I am not a fan of the way a50 plays or the direction we went.

Caboose: B30 is the teams highest priority. I have to say though, I was against the plan for it initially, but it's turned out to be one of the coolest things the team has ever done. More on this later.

P3: There are going to be new areas to explore, and there will be customey things going on.

I have an question for b30 too Masters1337^^. The new bsp you will add on b30 are the same as the old spv2 ? Or they are totaly new ?

Personally I wasn't too fond of the gameplay in a50 either, everything else was good though.


I really liked the old BSPs from b30, they looked nice anyway, I hope some of them get recycled in SPV3.

Well, no one seemed to like the spv2 b30 bsps.

I pretty liked the cmt spv2 bsp but the one things i don't like was the ai encouter. To many, unrealistic, and stupid fight sometimes. I like the new a50 you have made. The ai are cool to fight (numbers of them, good squad (elite with brutes,grunt and jackals, placement etc...)

So are you guys going to give the covi less needlers. That was one thing i didn't like about a50. Alot of the elites had needlers rather than plasma rifles. So i'm guessing you guys aren't going to be some how optimizing things but keeping it looking like if it wasn't optimized for less lag. Is it possible? Oh yeah. Anything on the new grunts? (If there will be any)

They already confirmed they're doing some optimization.

Hey sorry no updates I hope this will ease the wait :D

The sexy looking version of the CMT SPV3 HUD.

I loved the underground parts, and the chieftain encounter was fun, but hard.
I'd like to see more definition in the Elite ranks, We have Blue, Red, and occasionally Gold, but i'd like to see White and Black preforming spec-ops or commanding roles.

... that is one ugly looking carbine.

Stop using PNG's. Look, the left is pure PNG, has not been compressed at all. The right is the same image as the left but has been saved as a JPEG and compressed and reimported.



Do you see a difference, no? Nor me. Now look at the size difference of the file, bare in mind that the JPEG is at its highest quality and tbf can be lowered without any difference to the quality.

But image a much larger picture, and how big that file will be.

PNG - 96.5 KB
JPEG - 70.2 KB

It's pointless wasting EVERYONE ELSE's time loading pointless colour data that your eye can't even bloody see.

I'm pretty sure that's not the point of the picture...

Open your .png with Paint.
File -> Save as
And select .jpg or .jpeg as type
You're welcome!

I see slightly more contrast in the PNG than in the JPEG.

But I guess I just have extremely sensitive eyes...

(Btw, putting them in the same file kind of unbalances the comparison a little bit).

Personnaly, I can't want to play other cmt maps :D Oh and i have an noob question lol. You cmt guys can you release the covenant storage please ? ^^ I pretty liked them. They will be awesome for my project the floods remake :)

That carbine is indeed hideous.

The balance is not changed as I saved one as a JPEG first which removed some data as it was compressed, then reimported with less data.

That would be great.The Elites that I extracted caused Sapien to crash 24/7.

If you really want to use our things you can take the time to fix the extraction problems.

Aaaw, teh_lag, you're just a bundle of sunshine today. A simple no would suffice, i'm sure. Lol.

I think he was polite enough, depending on your interpretation and point of view. No, a simple 'No' would not suffice as it would provide no explanation as to the negative answer.

Well then just import the gbxmodel into max...

next map all I want to suggest is fix the br, and sniper anims to support 90 fov <,< and possible the shotgun

as for the 90 FOV anims, just use OS to move the gun back slightly and it should line up correctly to not clip.

I don't think so.Where's Sarge?

Anything new on this mod?

Not yet but they did release the gauss Warthog effects video on YouTube which looks awesome but other than that no.

We're back.

After several months of deliberation and experimentation, we at CMT are ready (and happy) to reveal our next big project - The Silent Cartographer: Evolved.

What exactly is TSC: Evolved?
Unlike CMT's previous SPv1/2/3 mods, which refined and added to existing campaign maps, TSC: Evolved is a complete, from-the-ground-up reconstruction of b30. While the dialogue and story will remain unaltered, the BSP and all encounters will be rebuilt from scratch, both providing a fresh perspective on the classic Halo 1 campaign and allowing us to take full advantage of the expanded range of gameplay options our improved and augmented sandbox provides.

Why not do a fully custom map?
When a50 was released, it was made very clear to us that after almost decade, playing through the stock campaign for the six-hundredth time simply wasn't going to cut it for most people. However, while the idea of moving to a completely custom map was on the table, it'd have meant committing ourselves to many more unknowns - original script, voice acting, and such - than we thought would be worth gambling the team's future on. Doing a full-level-remake, we believe, hits a happy medium, allowing us to create a much newer experience without banking on too many uncertainties.

Will I need Open Sauce?
This will be a tough pill for many to swallow, so we'll put it as bluntly as possible:

TSC: Evolved will ONLY be distributed as a .yelo. You will be REQUIRED to use Open Sauce.

Our plans for the map are too large in scope and scale to accommodate the restrictions that retaining non-OS compatibility would place us under - by fully committing to Open Sauce, we can not only do more with the level, but we can get it done more quickly. Even if we did try to keep all our scripting and tagging vanilla-friendly, squeezing under the .map limits would mean cutting far more than would be worth the time investment.

What about SPv3?
The majority of the team are pouring their effort into the new level, but Masterz1337, Arteen, and Kirby continue to augment stock maps under the original goal of "completing" the SPv2 vision. More detailed information on what they're doing and when you'll get to play it will come at their pace and discretion.

So are you just putting the SPv3 Truth & Reconciliation stuff into a new map?
While the existing assets are used a baseline - throwing out all our models and weapons is hardly practical - we've had several months' time to iterate and improve. Objects which hadn't yet received a proper visual overhaul, such as the Plasma Rifle and Rocket Launcher, sport brand new models and skins; the vast majority of particle effects have been treated to another huge revision; and the weapon set, as well as having undergone dozens of changes and tweaks, has been expanded with, among other things, a new take on the Pistol and the return of the BRG.

Are you going to "evolve" the rest of the campaign?
What we do after TSC: Evolved will hinge on how smoothly the development process does (or doesn't) go, and how well it is (or isn't) received on release.

When do we get to play?
Things have not yet crystallized to the point where we can offer a solid release date. As soon as the end is in sight, we'll let you guys know.
