lol...seems like the rpgbetas are getting more redos and mods than blood gulch lately... IS THIS THE END OF BLOOD GULCH?! lol...just kiddin. Theyre all good.

In the modified section, there's like 5 or 6 pages. The custom maps have 60-70 pages. And yes, I have been seeing alot of RPG modified maps. They're gonna become like bloodgulch moified maps and get real old.

rofl!!! you better watch it Rozar... Dennis will eat you! lmao! ya Killer... they probably will get old. Some maps, i think, should just b left alone... no what i mean?

Not many compared to custom maps.

Go to the website and select the different file sections and at the top of the section it will display the number of files in that section: "Viewing XXXX Records"

He wont, hes on a diet.

Not unless I have a nice Chianti, however I am partial to Syrah so I think your safe.

LOL here is the reference:

Syrah is obviously made from a persian grape if that's what they gave you.

I thought this was a Halo Custom Edition forum...not a "What does Dennis eat?" and "Let's talk about food that isn't native to the US!"

*talks about french fries to be off topic*

They made of potatoes.

I now declare this National- no wait- WORLD Halomaps.org Off-Topic Day.

seriously, look at every topic right now...

*derails topic even further*

Where do babies come from?

The saying and the scene I referenced is a famous one from the movie Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal Lecter talks about one of his kills and how he ate his liver "with fava beans and a nice Chianti” it is a seminal part of the movie.

I thought we had that talk last week.

Oh yeah, your explaination traumatized Kiwi so he forgot.

Off-topic day was yesterday. So... *bans*

Rpg beta will only get more mods... BY ME! I am working on an ai version of beta 4-3. If you think I will suck at it and the map will be garbage, I have been told lots of times to make it myself.

I made the map, but my stupid pc wont read any file at all. If the map worked, there would be grunts with fuel rods, standard grunts, sentinels, hunters, and jackals.

EDIT: It was changed to 4-4 ai.

Kiwi thinks the purpose of the map is not too shabby, the mods are poorly done and don't really fix the basic problems.

None of them have really done this yet.

It recently seems to have become a case of just throwing weapons/vehicles/scenery in and see if people like it.

You're just saying that cause it has yer ship in it. The version before it was better.

It's not a very long one either.

The basic problems: lack of different spawn points, weapons are rarely placed anywhere other then the spawn points, lack of teleporters, no way back up should you fall, few texture errors. Those are a few Kiwi can think of.

wow thank god the thread is back on topic.....t was so far off topic i had to read the original postt to remember what it was about.

Why not read the title?

in a way... I was sorta...

...planning...

...on a mod for this map...

...but now, since there are so many mods, especially ones that look like noob mods, I am not so sure if I want to even try.

there's also another basic problem with the map and it is the horrible ground texture ripped straight from the halo ring. Also the detail grass texture is ridiculously huge.
and theres also some bad texturing on the amber cl-*I MEAN*- *ahem* "CITADEL OF QUEBEC"
Now, as for which rpg beta map I would rather mod (the a30 one or the one he made himself), I am still trying to decide.

The A30 one looks much better, and I have finished (but not released, and probably wont release) a simple mod of this map. all it does is give about every single physical object a name so that one can customize their rp however they please.

Something else that would be nice is some peli-pads though, so one can pick up hogs with the pelican. this would go good in both maps, but not in some random places. That tends to be just disgusting at times.

As for the AI Bots versions, I hate them. they are nothing more than a huge mess. The only AI I would add are deaf, blind encounters that could either be used for scripting, bump possessing, or remaking p0lar bear's "failed movie scene" vid with rpg beta.
Sadly, even bipeds that only are supposed to spawn once often spawn a second copy of themselves on top of their shoulders, and if the bottom one is possessed, EXCEPTION!!!!!

anyway, should I try to make a "good-ish" mod that doesnt have a bunch of junk thrown in at random and does have a demonstration of some of my work or should I just abandon the idea?
