ok you might think a stationary elephant would be best but it would look and be stupid and would make the map nothing like h3 my point exactly or your could just make a elephant vehicle no?

the stationary elephant is the best because the only usefull time to move it in H3 is when your playing neutral assault or multi flag and in that case all you do is move it up a dune so the enemy slides down the ramp because of the steep incline which stops them from reaching the flag.

also will you be putting the davinchi code egg in this like in H3

yes but its fun to drive

In all honestly players that drive the Elephant in Slayer are either; bored, bad, or griefing. Which is why I think a stationary Elephant may be the best call. But I don't know whether or not I'd want them in Slayer [stationary] at all, they take up space for the Warthogs, and in HCE, race is possible. Also all of you know a stationary Elephant couldn't shoot much from where it is located in Halo 3, so the placements would be moved.


A what? haha

that egg wouldnt add anything to the gameplay of the map and is na waste of poly's if you would add it

i know im just saying if your going for accuracy then thats somthing that needs to be added

oh and by the way you only use the word "an" in stead of "a" when the word following it starts with a vowel
like this: I went to A house.
and this: I went to AN ice skating rink.

sorry about that i just get super annoyed with those kinds of things,
its the one and only thing im a perfectionist about.

OK theres my grammar lesson for today. Now back to what ever it was we were talking about

LOL @ wesmans teaching lesson.

AAAaaanyway... Back ontopic

Will there be a Hornet?

And if your not using the Elephant then what will be a base instead of it?

i think hes going with a non moving elephant to be the base

The only way to get a hornet on Sandtrap is through Forge isn't it? So I'm guessing no one is going to go through the trouble of making something that doesn't even belong on the map.

definatly agree... hell i mean strongly agree, cause it would be terribly hard to actually get a moving elephant, especially since your using halo ce... sigh if only bungie had time to release another halo ce download...

English is not GGL's first language....

I received a PM about whether or not the image I showed earlier was in game. For those of you wondering, the map is in the game, in a very rough version for H2V. Here's two new screenshots from the Alpha build featuring, basic shader, I've created. The sand was created using a texture file from the Total Textures DVD (it's been to cold to go to the beach!!). The walls where created using siding and wall paper from a friends house, and both of the bumps were created using Crazy Bump.





And image I showed earlier, I was talking about;




I'm not some much worried about accuracy now that, it looks like Sandtrap. I'am still trying to grasp the feel of Sandtrap, but there are alot of things that needed to be adjusted to make it more fun to play on.


For the HCE map H3MT will be creating, I would assume it would depend on whether or not they create a Hornet for gameplay.
As for the Elephant, I can only speak for H2V. And what I will say is I have an idea I'm toying around with and I think players might enjoy it, but I'm not saying anything else until I figure out whether or not I'm going to it.

That looks a little too small, needs some smoothing, and I wanna see it in Halo CE, not H2 Vista.
So make it bigger, smooth it more, and put it into CE.
Other then that it looks good, Good Job

It's a very earlier build, the reason your not seeing it in Halo CE yet is because I'm not making that version I'm only modeling it. So pretty much what I'm showing off is the model, and smoothing is in the works. I used Boolean which makes a big mess, so I have to clean up the topology before I can really get in there and smooth. I hear you H4Z4RD and soon enough, I made this post so I can make you guys happy.

HAHHA, the H2 Vista screen shots look like a Z map!!!

They look accurately sick. Keep it up, but remember the sand needs to be darker!

What's a Z map? And please critque the work not make fun of it, if you haven't been reading this is really early in development and it's my second map I've worked on. There's alot I don't know yet, so please be helpful, Thanks!

Alot you don't know? ARE YOU CRAZY! This is a very good copy of the halo 3 sandtrap, and I would know as I was playing it just 20minutes ago on xboxlive. But also smoothening edges, darker sand. Also how everyone is saying stationary elephant it wouldn't be as fun as players would be like: "w+f why c@n't i pleh dis el3fant" in their odd ingame speech. As really, imagine running up to elephant to drive you go to drivers area and you can't drive...you would be disapointed. Now I know this map would be very hard to make but you could make a broken down elephant where it has like a blown up hole through the side and rubbel on thground and like the cockpit's roof has fallen in. It would probably be hard to make but sometihing like that in my opinion is better then a stationary normal one.

Probably because Zteam rips from halo 2.

Could someone tell me what this means?

It means the Zteam who make the Halo 2 ce maps dont actually make anything. Mostly take everything from halo 2 >_>

You know, that Sanctuary is not nearly as impressive now. I can assure you though the three Shaders in use for the Sand and Stone I've created.

Zteam puts great work into the ripped items.You just havent noticed it..Besides they got a warning.."If you dont own Halo 2 then you should test it and delete it" or something like that..Dont say they dont make anything cause they make aloooot more then you think.

That warning is meaningless and stems from a misunderstanding of the applicable copyright laws and licensing statues.

Anyway. Back on topic. Will HaloCE's Sandtrap have H3MT's stuff??

..Sigh their "stuff" is so unstabil and would make the gameplay unfair.

I doubt it. I have faith in H3MT.

ALL FAITH IN H3MT!!! *Bows head*

Oh we will see.A team that just makes TO much content will be doomed.
Edited by Wolf_ on Apr 11, 2008 at 11:45 AM

I think that this will be a popular map.

Whitout h3 content.

Majority of the edges are chamfered, the defensive structure has not yet been. The entire structure still needs a lot more work, along with the terrain (which I've been focusing my time on at the moment).

Use nice bumpsXD

Maybe SOME OF US don't have that game...
