the scarab crushing and killing you was the respawn time lol... that doesnt have anything to do with the map...

bridge not dying could easily be fixed by a death trigger volume...

ship's... eh they are shiny

lol the max people on red team on a regular team game can be 8 if its fair so you might have too many vehicles for covie

how does the power of the scarab have to do with waht it gets hit with?

its the physics

how can it be physics? i get it but it seems weird that if you were to shoot it with say ANOTHER SCARAB it wouldn't go flying...

I still think its physics but thats just weird lol

same thing, shot it with kraken, and sent my freind in the air saying wtf wtf wtf wth and he landed on POA rofl TO FREAKIN WEAK!

physics controls how heavy something is, where the points of mass are, and how much mass it has at each point

i get that... i just thought it was..... basically make it have much more mass.... right now it appears to be less than a hog lol

What's this?

It's not that bad, too white yes, shouldn't be snowing in the hanger XD
Scarab is hard to get on, why have active camo? Couldn't be bothered testing further cause I'm going to breakfast now =)

EDIT
When I finished typing that, I had drifted randomly all the way to the bottom of the chasm

the dark spot?

it is or should be ice

EGG as for the snowing in the hanger just set up the weather cluster in the hanger to "none" and you wont have snowing hangers....

as for the physics can you make it MORE than the old scarab because i get tired in extinction of people who cant just shoot and kill me in the scarab and they flip me with a pelican....

it gets annoying because they do that to the mythos too.... lol

I hadn't fired anything at that place, and the only thing that could do that would be the nuke from the longsword, cause the scarab's decal is much darker. And we all know the nuke has been taken out, so...

a random blob =)

no its ice bloch, the ground is probaly from the icefields ground map

^ I could tell it was from icefields soon as I saw it..

cant egg edit the BSP so all those dark spots are actually ice?... lol right now it doesnt look like ice, and unless he finds a new bitmap to use... extinction 2 will have a random dark spot

u dont edit the BSP, u edit the shaders and textures. and it probaly is ice materialed if he used the same material from icefields. also wheres that snow texture i gave u to use as part of the details map?

no i mean... make it look belivable.... right now it looks like a blob... i mean because ice is under snow not on the same level as it... riht now it looks weird lol...

if he used the same shaders as icefields it wont be "ice".... because it would be snow.... thats why they have and icefilds_ground and icefields_ice bitmap

because shader_eviroments can only be one type of material... (i.e. on cmt_snow_grove when you shoot the ground paths snow flies up)

Actually, numerous times i said it was a lag test. Yet people continued to post and say things such as, "This map is a fail" Or ODX and his rant on about how crappy it was.

Read next time.

4) Its snowing in the hanger
5) shaders suck monkey ass
6) Needs more balnace and weapons
7) Scarab :|
Yhea you must suck at listening >_>, overall keep working on this if you do it right this might turn out pretty nice.

Fine, here:
It didn't lag as much as Extinction, but I never tested it with someone online. However, at other points on the map, many vehicles made it lag, or just the amount of snow everywhere. Now stop complaining that everyone didn't tell you what you wanted to hear, and get to work fixing it then.

I haven't complained at all. I've actually stated how I was going to fix them.

1- the hogs were a bit laggy[what all did you tweak when you sped them up?]
2- my favorite sniping aide is missing...[you ended up removing the antiaircraft fuelrod gun or just moved it from where it is most useful; the covie bridge... i use it to highlight peoples' locations, then i wip out my sniper and fire away]
3- is the snow necesary at all, considering you can't see it with the fog?
4- i believe theres a way to script the scarab not to respawn or reset at all when all the other vehicles respawn[this would stop the scarab from respawning and killing people trying to get on, it would also stop the annoying random sound issues, furthermore... it would allow for crazy gun battles and random snipers to use the scarab]
5- the white vehicles[they look like mini LSs] need to be fixed... they have no functional collision geometry[they don'tkill you when they fall on you; they actually pass right through you], they have no easy access doors, the guass reload time needs some work
6- can you please place some more vehicles in the human hanger[just make a hanger for some pelicans and put them up there as spawn points or just scenerey idc... the hanger just seems too empty]
7- why did you replace the cool super sniper you start off with with the underpowered campaign sniper?

sugar. dont do it kids.

O_O I got some more problems! (0_0)

you realize that the stock sniper rifle does kill in 2 body hits right? idk why i even just asked that question because you just said that it did not.
sniper bullet.damage effect
damage lower bound: 101
damage upper bound: 101 - 101

material specific damage modifiers
cyborg: 1 (no change)
cyborg energy shield: 1 (no change)

cyborg.model_collision_geometry
maximum body vitality: 75
maximum shield vitality: 75
75+75=150
150-101=49
49-101= -52

in short, 2 sniper shots from the stock sniper rifle will kill the default mp biped. end of story

Don't suggest what you don't know is even possible. Which it isn't possible to set to stop respawning unless you put ai in it which automatically gets into a seat. Would work but not recommended.

It seems that everybody else has already addressed the bugs that need fixing that I would have addressed :D

Anyways, personally I still think that this vehicle from the map Avalanche, released by Spartan04, would be a nice addition to the map: http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb78/musicman888/coolvehicle.jpg

Correct me if I am wrong though guys.

EDIT: It also seems that the tags for the non-treaded Snow Hog need fixing or something as the vehicle could not be entered.

doesnt match the "halo effect"

I'll see.

I think you should add some F-302's from stargate, theres someone already making the model I think, and they have missles and a railgun, and are not too small

well i just played the beta and here are some things:
1. what happened to the cliffs behind the human's crashed ship
2. I'm guess you're not goin to change the phantom's skin to white
3. you should get rid of those ugly wraiths and put halo 2 ones
4. and WTF is that big purple plane
