wait, didnt corndogman make the heightmap already? you make squeaky confused

diffuse map/height map same thing, im pretty sure it wont look like high ground if its modeled from a heightmap

yah but cant ya change the terrain height after that... those little dots that you move up and down to make hills...i just saw that in a tut.

because they are exactly the same thing


Yes you can move vertex's around to make it look nicer and add detail but there are not many if any good maps made using displace/height map

oh ok... but it will work right?

snow bound is the easier one to model, but there may be one difficulty. in the beta, the thing keeping you from leaving the map were these big plasma turrets that shoot you if you leave. the only way i know how to do this is to make them be AI. but AI wont sync online so there would have to be some kind of invisible wall.

and who cares if someone releases highground before we do. theres no point in stopping half way through it.

yea, once you get the model looking like it, it will be easier to do the smaller stuff and have a general idea of where your going with it. good luck.

since i currently have nothing to do, maybe i'll fool around for a little bit and see what i can come up with for a snowbound model. although, i wont be able to work on anything after monday because im going a way for a week, possibly even 2. so that will be my little project. and after highground we can make it our priority,

You can make the turrets device machines, but they wont follow the player....

also.....ALSO.....renember that in halomaps.org there are like 5 versions of zanzibar, coagulation, lockout,(and like 138109310740284 mods of BG) etc.........so what about 2 versions of high ground?

i mean 2 versions made by diferent ppl....*of topic*: look at this vid! teh best double kill ever!XDXDDXD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA4fJwvnrcM hahahahahahha!!!!

sooo what are we making snowbound or highground? you confused squeaky again!

we are making highground. i just said that i might start working on a snowbound model. but thats when i get back in a couple weeks.

i know, i realized that already

Are you sure you can start with High Ground?
It would be easier to make Snowbound then you would have most things to make High Ground even better than you would now. I trust it's going to be good and you guys have good experience. I'm really waiting for a good map like Zanzibar because everyone mod of Zanzibar sucks.
Good luck everyone!
P.S. Is it possible to release a Blood Gulch with the weapons you have so far?

Looks like someones TRYING to make Last Resort (H3 Zanzibar) If you look a little more, you can find some .zip's with H3 Sound effects.

thx!! im gonna need the sounds


EDIT: those sounds kind of suck.i mean u can even hear the other ppl shooting..
Edited by _TheArbiter_ on Jul 27, 2007 at 05:53 PM

Ask me if you need anything, tags, sounds, ...whatever else you people need.
Edit:...Lol...Sorry?
Hey! I didn't do them!
Edit2: What about the H3 warthog or other sound effects? Couldn't you just fix them? I'm not really a modder, I like to find secrets in maps and help out other people.

I know I'm not on it, I just help random people and I think TheArbiter said I could.
Why? You don't like me posting long crap?
Oh and by the way, what are you saying!?
Please type right, you are not playing a game where you have to abbreviate words...-_-

Not confirmed but my brother (who goes on IGN) says they're going to have Gephyrophbia from Halo 1. The bridge Level.
I'm gonna try to fix the sounds if I can.
Lol yeah, you can hear the other person getting hit, I only did the AR for now, I'm working on the others now. Ok, only the Assualt Rifle Shooting, Battle Rifle Shooting, Battle Rifle Reload, and Assualt Rifle Reload have other people getting hit or a Mongoose coming by -_-, I'll try to fix it.

Like Last Resort Is Zanzibar...
I can't do the sounds...Keeps messing up.
I'll just have to look.

Edit: How do you make weapon tags?

The 'best' sword tags I could find, they are pretty good, the guy says it's for advanced Halo modders to build off of:http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1171
What else do you need?

How do you make weapon tags and is it possible to release an alpha/beta bloodgulch with whatever weapons you have right now?
Oh ok it's GBX
Edited by ODX on Jul 28, 2007 at 12:36 PM

It didn't recognize it anyway....
What tags do you guys still need?

Not yet, maybe will be, I search stuff too you know, not the only one you know.
I don't even see you doing much for them lately.

Ok, let's do it.
I'm still figuring out Xfire.
I need your Xfire account names guys.
PM it to me.
