lol sorry is the inamberclad yours and if so does it have a inside.

amber clad has nothing 2 do with me, opsy is using the amber clad model for his CoQ ship. but thats not what this thread is about; we were just comparing the BFS PE and SE with several other halo ships

The In Amber Clad is a frigate, not a Haylcon, or a Capital ship.

Right. It seemed that the BFS was less 'Heighty'' and less Large but anyway. There's no way I can fill the CoQ totally without becoming pointless:P

Anyway, my ship is rather basic taking all in comparison, while yours in completly made from scratch so Hats off!

i know what this topic is about and its cool and i know what the inamblerclad is im saying i wasnt he model for maps in ce cause its sweet

you alright there chains? smoking a bit of too much of something...? xP

Hmm Cool. We'll see how this looks like after all:p

Why rush everything through just to get it into a map contest? Why not just take your time and make everything with you best effort and not rushed? People, in my opinion, would love the map a lot more if it wasn't rushed and released just for a map contest. There is an equation that I have seen on several maps that have been released. The equation is: "When things are rushed it looks like crap, and when things take their time everyone is happy in the end." I mean, sure people will be happy it is released but maybe everything won't be the best that it could be. Then some people might get all mad that you released a map that has crappy parts in it. That equation is not always true though, but it is true like 99.9% of the time.

I would just like to say, "Don't rush it for the contest. Take your time on it and make everything the best it possibly can. People will enjoy it more that way."

Thanks for reading through this rant.

if we were to enter it into a competition, and if we won the competition; what would we get? I'm imagining its not something spectacular or anything like that, am i right?

Nothing but bragging rights..

...WEEE BRAGGING RIGHTS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >_>

just bragging rights...? how....nice...lol

your room bores me :|

I think that would be a sezuretastic room

And is that stuff supposed to be water?

I would prefer a "Training Room" That simulates terrain.

Either that, or be like Chiron or be like Counter-Strike's Training mission thing.

'your room bores me' lol thats funny and retarded, but watevr

What is on the floor is basically what constructs a virtual scene. its the stuff that can be changed to form whatever terrain specified (supposedly). if we wanted to, we could make a switch to be animated scenery and changed between 3 or 4 different landscapes. But seeing that noone really likes it. Maybe i just wont bother to put that in...

And the room is 'boring' because it doesnt need to be pretty, for example: would the military pay x amount of money in a submarine just to make it look rly rly pretty? i dont think so. The room also doesnt need to be pretty (storyline wise) because the morphing material requires SPACE.

Also this is just the alpha; its not the finished deal...

I want the virtual scenery.

I concur (which means I second that vote)

virtual scenary:D

There should be grey drab walls with peepholes for shooting through.

ALL OF IT DRAB GREY! DRAB!

well unfortunately it is quite a slow process, its difficult to get multiple people working on this thing. we could split the bfs and id share server's workload. but then the issue would be of syncing the stuff. It sounds simple but its....not really. and then 3ds max is being gay with me so that makes life even MORE difficult =/ for now im just using the trial of 3ds max, but thats a bad solution

the animated scenery would be nice... as long as it doesn'T make us feel like it's just like hm... a Map of some space:p but the way it looks right now is nice. sorta reminds me of PDZ

PDZ? wats that?

Perfect Dark Zero?

I like that virtual stuff, reminds me of the VR level from Timesplitters FP.

im thinking of increasing the UV size on the texture by x2; what do u guys think?

probably 1/2 the UV on the floor below the virtual stuff too

so ya basically an excuse for laziness ;)
but yeah if you added some wires on the walls or pipes or something

ah really now chains? mmmm. That could be a problem. --Cropped out--

Ok. But why should we be angry when PE will be awesome?

Yeah I talked to him... Weird aussie:P anyway, let's hope he'll be back soon anyway

>:O Publicity-hoarder

I would like to talk with Server anyway. I mostly talked with Dhark as I had his xFire but I don't have Server's

I was being sarcastic lol :-)

Just a question... Did you get the idea of this ship from this?

That's why pencil drawn concept is better:)

i know. Still tho, Drawn concepts are better because they give some modelling freedom while 3 d concept are more restrictive.
