hey February is over people. shouldn't the contest be over? ah, who cares. I'm gonna work on my map later today after i sleep off 24 hours of no sleep running on mountain dew.

24 hours. Thats nothing.

This map grew out of that contest and will not be rushed to compete against 1 or 2 maps and some boxes. But look foreward later today to see the progress.

heres a picture that shows some of all.

ha, with my POS map that i rushed that looks like crap. and nobody gets to play it either.

anyways, looking good guys. just gotta get dano on those cliffs.

i think ppl are complang about the cliffs becuase of the orange lights stops so quicly and dosent look right. move a copul vets back to make it look better

reminds me of a fireplace.

the cliffs dont bother me though. Id say they look fine.

Well now that I have Kirbies Dynamic Sun. We had to edit the lightmaps on the map so we took away those glows. And now I have to make the bases glow dynamically. And the sun really makes Dano's textures look awsome. It makes the bumps look amazing. Well until I make the dynamic lights for the bases I will get a picture.

What does POS mean? Penis of smallness?

Piece of sh**.

i cant wait to see what it'll look like with the dynamic sun. its gonna be sweet.

Well I got a cheap dynamic light working.



Sorry abotu that Dennis. I read the scimmed through the ruls before posting but didn't see it down on the bottom. Well thanks for taking it down.

Those little 'puddles' of snow look out of place compared to the actual ground texture. Will those be fixed?

Yea the dynamic sun made them look weird because we edited the lightmaps. So I have to tweak them a little.

I am going to make love to that map
*gets in akward position*

Playing around some more with the sun. I thank Kirby again for giving me the sun. Well here it is.

woa.... nice map. I was wondering what had happened to this map, glad to see it's still going strong.

Dyanmic sun = Ew. It dosent look very good no offernce. Feels to bright for night.

*explodes sending radiation across the galaxy to halo onto Seclusion*

Storyline Description: After the destruction of the first Halo the remaining pieces started malfuntioning and showed odd characteristics, this being one of them.

^Thats what I would put.^

I have a question. How can anyone determine how good this map will be based on screenshots shown? I am not making any judgements the detail work looks very nice, but how can you tell how well it will play without knowing what the overall layout is? I'm just asking.

It has layout. He told me. Their are the structures, but their isn't any shelter in them, forcing everyone to go to the center for NON STOP ACTION!!! Sounds good too me.

Dennis and Geometric geek all were saying is that the Dynamic sun kirby made makes it look really bad, other then that this map is gonna own really good.

Mabye you should read my post better. I was referring to Dennis...

wow, what where you smoking when you made that post? dennis's post is simply wanting to know about the layout, he says nothing about it looking bad, he acualy complements the details, witch are brought out better by the dynamic sun.

I talked with Lightning yesterday and he sayed that the Dynamic sun takes away specular and the sun causes a few errors in the map. So we are not going to have the sun. Plus the map looks better with a gloomy night sky. Well thanks anyway for helping Kirby. I truely appreciate it. Next week I hopefully will edit a top view screenshot showing off the level with weapon placements and a few other descriptions.

Thanks for taking the sun away, it looks stupid because the sun was on the left, but the shadow was on the left too.

The map's layout wasn't too bad. Though it has a rocket launcher.

OMGAWD GIMME MORE!Lol it looks ok..Small thougt.

I do too, or more accurately I like the way the two screenshots I have seen look. However I still have no idea what the overall map looks like to make any assessment on how it will play.

There were some flaws in it (a plasma rifle sitting right infront of where the sniper spawns isn't a bright idea).

Well nothing is final. You can make tweeks to it however you want. Things will be taken into consideration. And right now the starting weapons are shotgun and pistol.

Put Plasma Rifles at the bases, where it is now, no one will use it. They'll all be too focused on the sniper.

Wow it's symetrical? This map is going to rock!
