Hey guys, Despite all my efforts the map won't be release this year.. Some of you seem to be impatient or frustrated, but believe me guys the most frustrated and impatient is me.. and this makes me sleep very bad (when I'm actually sleeping and not spending my nights on the map).
Ok now why isn't the map done yet? What is the trouble? Well there's a lot of answers :
1st I'm testing the builds alone or with Skyline so we use to find new shortcuts like every 2 weeks.. And every time I think the model is done, here is a new shortcut coming from nowhere.. and then I have to remodel or create new stuff from scratch to fix the problems, this is taking time sometimes I have to erase stuff I spent nights on (this hurts)..
Other than the shortcut problems, I spent A LOT of time reworking everything to make the poly number down (cause there was this clipping problem cause of too many polys visible at the same time. And I'm reducing the poly number with any kind of automatic script but by hand polygons by polygons trying to keep the structures with a good design.
So now the model is 100% done, I won't retouch it.. Let's hope we won't find anymore shortcuts in the final beta, I'm crossing my crossing fingers..
2ndly, the guys helping me have not necessarly as much time as me to put in the project. Skyline is the most active, every time I change something in the model he makes a new build + I spend a lot of time making schemes showing the changes or things to do for him and others (one more thing that takes time cause its like spending 2 times the time to do the stuff as I'm not working in sapien myself). Skyline is also taking the time to achieve a performent portaling system (witch is very hard on this map).. CtrlAlt made a wonderfull job with the scripts for the doors and shields' doors but changing or adding things takes time..
3rd I spent a lot of times on UVing strips textures (its a real nightmare) , also is sky on the general textures.. there's still work to do on the cliff texture.
I'm not mentioning every little technical problems we had but we had so many (sound tags, vehicles, textures..) (takes time again)
Now Basically the map is done I'm only waiting for Matooba's ATV and for DANO to finish my custom hog texturing.. then the final beta can begin! so for now, it's not in my hands anymore, I'm only waiting and coordonating things.. if you see these 2 guys you can motivate/boost them please (come on guys!).
You guys say HaloCE is dying, just wait a little more, hang on my friends, I mean it : it's going to reborn!

Will yoyorast v2 no longer be camper land?

I have not really followed Yoyorast V2 so I want to know is this a completely different level or are you just changing a few parts?

it looks loke V1 but it's far more complete , every single poly is new and diferent from V1.. more info at www.yoyorast.com

ooo, a website,, good luck

its real nice to get the update Yoyo, ty. I know Matooba moved and did recently get his system working somewhat so i would have faith that he is busy with the project and thats why he is quiet. Good luck.
also if there is anything i can do to help i will but im certainly not CAD or DANO
To other posters search the forum for previous talk of this.

Do not ruin such a promising map with duel wielding.

You have to refresh my memory man..

yay! that means the map will come out eventually.... i'm happy to wait now coz my halo CE is dead...

WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE DUAL WIELDING??? It doesnt sync, so what? Ai doesnt sync yet there are almost always(or there was used to be) servers running the floods and grunt attack.

WHY DO PEOPLE SHOUT UNNECESSARY POSTS??? We don't 'hate' duel wielding, people just don't want to even try to make it sync. The person with the best chance of doing that would be CAD, since he rips most things near perfectly. Don't go badgering him to do so, we let people do what they want to do.

because why would you put buggy pseudo duel weilding in when you have a perfectly good weapon set allready available?

Good job yoyo. Way to go on the keeping up with the project. I admire the determination.

We so need some sorta thread about peoples'
'Maps that you're going to get when they come out' list.
Kinda like a 'what you're looking forward to' thread. There's so much (really I'm just tired and don't feel like naming anything) to name and look forward to!

thats the old hog..Lol i thougt you alredy got it ingame yoyo..And i also asked skogen and he said that he had tested it ingame..But yeah..Btw unbann me too:S:D

its not in v1.

Nice, an update on V2. I hope to play this one alot.... never played the other one much and since I have halo 3 it will be a tough choice to make. But I will take some time to play this one. I hope this revives CE..... I tried to help a little when I was in the cingular store the other day and I left a direct link to the halo CE game on one of the iPhones. Not shure what good it did but anyway I hope it all works out nicely for you because you seem to be having alot of problems.

There's also this link bout the hog : http://www.yoyorast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=100

This map isn't just for racing only. Also it is his map so basically he can decide what the warthog will look like. :D

Imagine too score five times every time you finnish a lap.

Ohhh! Next time I go to any computer store, I'm going to put as many computers on this site. Maybe that will help some.

Good idea.... Then go paint all over any billboard you see saying "Check out www.halomaps.org, its the most awesomest place on the whole web!"

Or you could just sit here and hope yoyorast v2 will help...

When it comes, I'll stop playing the other games, download it, play it days end, and go back to other things and games.

its not a bad idea :P although you might get in trouble for vandalism...... o_0

you could put it as a link in everything you ever post, and in your sig, and as your avatar, and on games spam the chat with 'www.halomaps.org'...... its not like any1 will be annoyed.... or you can make lots of signs and stick them on ppl's cars when they aren't looking! :P

The people who are playing 1.06 are pirates, more then likely.
