Okay so this map is another map like Underpass that was finished in 2 days. I have a few problems though. First with some 3ds Max screenshots.




Now this is suppost to be like the map Chiron TL34. All the little pieces will be linked be teleporters. The center of the map will be the area where you cross sides. Now my problem is in sapien. I dont see my map after radiosity. I was told to add a sky in GUERILLA so I did and its there but not all of the map. Some sections are missing but when Im inside of the map and move around you see the remaining pieces. Now if this is confusing then tell me and Ill make a video. Also the map is impossible to see. People say to add lights and I do but it doesnt light up. It stays dark. P.S. This is my first indoor map Ive ever made.

it all doesnt render together because it automaticly spit it up into render zones since they arnt touching (although if they are close, they will sometimes be in the same render zone) for the light, might aswell manualy make your lightmaps, take a blue sheet in paint, drag the square tool out in white to the size that each of the bitmaps in (tool would of told you when you ran radiocity) then save it as hte name of your BSP in the data folder equivelent, and then it iwll over wright the lightmaps as white brite ones, I g2g to explain this any beter at the moment (just post about what else you need explained more, if you dont post or dont spesify anything, ill just not respond to you)

I herd I can just edit my shaders and make them put off light.

What is that green box? the sky box? also just make a blank sky similar to chrion since you will never see it.

The green box is the frame. How would I make a blank sky?

It's in hek somewhere i think.... or just rip it from chrion.

Will it help my lighting problem?

uhhh....... i'm not shure actually i've never made a map in my life... ok so thats a lie.... so i've never made a HALO map in my life..... not entirely true.... ok so i've never made a fully custom bsp, import it into halo's engien (sapien w/e) and compile it..... I have modded coag..... but I was board and just hit random buttons lol.


I think there may be tuts on indoor maps.

Just as a guess..... is there a outside to it? When your in sapien and you go out is there an outer wall? If there is make ti to where if your outside you can see in.... now i'm not shure thats the problem since all maps are like that.... but it's just something that popped into my head for no reason.

Looks like another good shottie no shields map like chrion... and I love chrion with that gametype (sadly no one plays it.... waaaa).... so anyway good luck with it.

Can I maybe use chirons lightmaps for mine? Also I used the indoor map tutorial and it didnt help because there wasnt a roof it was the +sky.
