Im not calling it Avalanche. Because H3MT or someone will proably make one.

So im going to call it Snowfall.

It's basically a mod of Sidewinder. Made to look like Avalanche. I've had little experiance on Avalanche. But I know a little of the layout and things. Yes. There is the possobility of Mancannons. I will try to get it as avalanche as I can. Since Avalanche and Sidewinder are two favirouites of mine.

From Bungie.net I've researched and found out that it's basically sidewinder but mainly more Vehicular, with teleports blocked off and tunnels blocked off.

It will be pretty Meh, But hopefully if I can find out how to make the H3 Weapons tag pack's .obj filed and .tiff files into Gbxmodel tags and bitmaps tags. Then hopefully there will be some H3 Content.

This will be my First publically released map. My other 6 maps are for private use of [BP] clan.

I will need some help with turning the Tag pack's .obj files and .tiff files into tags. If you want to help hit me up on Xfire - Haloslayerz.

Pics soon.

Have faith in me. pleeease?

if you can show us some progress, you have my faith

I only just started. Im using boulder_granite_gigantic to block off the tunnels through the cliff's and have blocked the teleports. Tomorrow I will add mancannons. Untill then its Sleeeeeeep for me.

And i think the granite boulders look meh. But ill find some snowy rocks to replace them. Unless someone makes me some good snowy rocks that are pretty much the size of boulder_granite_gigantic.

But i got to sleep now. And I have school tomorow. Cya tomorrow guys.

You crushed my dreams. I thought you were going to make the map from scratch, but starting from the actual Sidewinder map is D:

I suggest you start this map from scratch or you will encounter some very mad people.

Oh and remember that Avalanche is like 2 sidewinders big, with lots of Man cannons.

If you are gonna edit sidewinder... at least slap the model into gmax and edit the model there some. Otherwise, this is gonna be another dead map. Sorry.

It’s great that you know how to add scenery in Sapien, but to make Avalanche you need to start from scratch with you own level geometry, that way you will have complete control of the map's layout. It may seem impossible to do at first, but take the time to learn how to model. Like most good things in life, it takes time and effort to become decent at. Watch some tutorials and do some personal experimentation to learn the programs and tools.

your name always makes me think im skitzafranic and post in threads then later on wonder when i did it.

:-\ Well with your recent behavior, we have reason to think its you... but then again... nah..

I will just say that it COULD be you (personally, I think it is, "sorry")... but there are idiots out there ;-)

Wheres Dennis when we need him most...*sighs*

STFU, you SUCK on Avalanche. You were running in circles and being fascinated by Hornets.

>:(

We lost 0 to 3.

Why would i waste my poor modding skills on trying to impossibly model something because i cant model. And i relise Avalanche is 2 sidewinders big. And I dont Care. I want people to see something Avalancheish. Even if it isnt as big as avalanche. its still avalanche. so stfu noobs who think this will phail. Give me a chance.

PS. Mancannons working. Just need some good places to put them. Any ideas?

And Kid GTFO my topic. And dont threadjack.

I am a moderator not a god damn babysitter. It seems as if you guys want someone hanging on your every word, checking every post in real time to be your conscience so you don’t have to take any responsibility for your actions. Grow up, all of you. Think before you post. If you see something offensive or against the rules or someone is spamming the forum then do not post in those threads. You only make it worse and are as bad as the original spammer or offender.

Hes right. Ive noticed u guys are like "Weres dennis when u need him" kinda talk when theres a noob around.

On topic:

Ill give you a guess to as what this is.

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3914/guesswhatthisispa3.png

Its still in beta form. And im aiming it to hopefully point to the opposite cliff (Where the turret is)

I also got Snow covered rocks similar to coldsnap wall textures that fit nicely. Like a snowfall.

A horrible energy man-cannon?

Correct!

Masters doesnt know it. But his Gravlifts from H2_coag can be used as working Mancannons.

They are 99.9% beta. I still gotta add the Mancannon base scnery.

meh im sure he already knows it :P

For some reason Sapiens console wont open so i cant change the Radiosity of Sidewinder to be brighter and more Avalancheish

Don't mean to sound mean but it doesn't look interesting to me. Doesn't look to nice to me either. Looks like a sidewinder modification..

lol. Well I'll be making Avalanche since no one else has stepped up. I need textures and a few reference pictures. I don't have legendary map pack so It's not easy.

You cant make avalanche with a height map. take on something of a lower level first.

I have it, so if you need pictures let me know.

Actually, they did make it with a heightmap and plus I need to edit the cliffs and everything else too. Also, I've only worked on this for 10 minutes :P So don't go wild.

i highly doubt that. proof please.

Think about it, how did they do it then? Just move all the vertices's down lol?

IF you knew anything about modeling you'd no that hightmaps and box maps are not how levels get made. im guessing they plane modeled it.

actually, i read in an interview about the map pack that they had theyre forerunner guy model the structures and another guy did all the terrain. also being supervised by a level designer who guided them on the layout and such.

omg.

I like how you Threadjacked me.

Mancannons are working

And i dont care that you think its yuck. If you READ. I said I wanted an Avalanche EXPERIANCE. Not a whole Avalanche MAP!. FFS STOP PUTTING ME DOWN HERE.

no.
farcry maps are made using heightmaps, not halo maps.
Edited by Nugga117 on Apr 23, 2008 at 01:25 PM

Farcry maps are nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Who wants a Beta? To test the mancannons. And hopefully If Advancebo finishes making them into model tags - The weapons

Stfu Kid and GTFO my topic.

Im going to release another picture soon. Of the weapons. And has anyone seen a Hornet anywhere? I want to play with one in Sidewinder and see if its ok in such a small map.
******************************************************************************
And for hopefully the final time

I know that This is not Avalanche BSP. It never will be. I also know its alot smaller than Halo 3's Avalanche. But by making This map varient. I just want people to have an Avalancheish experiance in Halo CE. Sort of a Warmup to the Avalanche which I guess one of the Halo 3 teams will make.

I cant model. And dont plan to learn how to use Gmax and everything on the spot just for you guys.

So basically. What I plan to do for you guys by presenting you with this map. Is to give just a small overall feel of what Avalanche is like. (And the fun you can have with Mancannons.)

So yeah. Please stop winging and moaning about this not being Avalanche. If you want Avalanche. Go make Avalanche. This is Snowfall. Its like Avalanche's Offspring.
******************************************************************************
Ok. I hope you guys took that into consideration and hopefully changed views on how this is gonna end up.

Do you think a Hornet (If i can get one) Would work well in Sidewinders smallness?

There are no public or even privately mentioned Hornets out yet.

IM. NOT. MAKING. A. WHOLE. NEW. BSP.

I wants beta! Can I haz one? No really, I'll be a fair person and give you a chance.
