I think Egg took that really old beta (I mean REALLY) off

I could upload a proto-beta, not complete or fit for gameplay at all, but just with a few vehicles and such to test the new BSP?

I don't think there would be anything wrong with the new BSP unless theres some weird apocolyptic type error where you magically fall out of the mapm which I think you could be able to test.... but it's your choice

maybe it would be good to have a beta so people could see what the hanger is like etc.

The glitch where you fall through the map in places is a result of poor BSP construction. Ender basically took several pieces and stuck them in, without properly attaching them. the bridge being the most noticeable. Since these were not attached, they had bugs. Human vehicles have different properties than covenant vehicles, so they behave differently, such as the warthogs running over it fine, and the ghosts falling through.

Bobbysoon knew this and has fixed these problems, well, not tested yet, but, I know that he did.

So, no worries about glitches anymore. Concerning the BSP, that is.

and may I ask, since the ships have been laying there for (insert a long amount of time here) is there going to be orangish dust on the ships, and maybe on the bottom of the covie ship bitmap, you could have a layer of dirt as if its been there a while. just basic details like dust on the florrs, pillars, maybe some dirt scattered in the floor of the human ship etc.

i click on the link and it wont work it just gose on to filefronts homepage?

but the drivers were AFK....

What, you mean that the SPARTAN and Elite maids are busy elsewhere? Preposterous!

Fixed.
Seriously, could you be annoying elsewhere?

1- something was brought to my attention the other day; i have access to a heavily armored UNSC battle cruiser that lacks very little... would this be of use or would you enjoy a better model?
2- certain details will be left from the map (dust, particles, etc.) for fact of lag in multiplayer
3- one particular aspect of gameplay that i enjoy but never seems to make it in to good maps is decent music... will there be musical easter eggs?

I can see it now, frags ands stickies with no explosions.

The map will focus more on light vehicle and infantry combat. I have a plan. Taking some advice from Modacity.

Vehicle teleporter mb?

So you're saying someone very important can come onto Halomaps and be treated like crap, just because they're new and haven't 'done anything' for the 'community?' OK that makes sense.

Ok, back on topic:

I'm not sure if this has been noticed, but the scarab's firing animation is dodgy in the latest released beta.

Yeah, i know. will be fixed.

k.

So what made you switch from the snow extinction idea?

What do you mean?

Wasn't the extinction going to be snowy? In the latest pictures, it's back to desert.

theres a new beta? if so and if its on the first page as usual i cant get to it it takes me to the advertisement then to the homepage everytime

Agreed. Besides, it looks more desolate and abandoned.

Which is good.

No it isn't. As I've said, it is just the lightmaps. I've been thinking of going back to desert, though.


It's cool. Welcome to halomaps!

1-the snow made it nice because it complimented the fact that its foggy and the lifepods were no longer smoking
2-it also made it nice because the spartan armor is white
3-Egg... are you going to ask the people about the UNSC cruiser idea?

3---maybe.

Halo 2 wraith will be used.

Wraiths wont do much, unless you get bobbyson to change the skin to redish, and make it fire homing projectiles

I'll fix it up for the map, and we have big BSP changes planned that will change gameplay severely.

Please stick with the snow, it made the map make sense that you could not see from one side to the other. Or get better textures for the sand for the desert and make it look like there is a sand storm happening.

Yeah. I'll stick with snow.

Or if you want desert, then I could find some good textures, then edit the fog color on the sky. It is a simple sky, no model or anything, just lighting, radiosity, and fog distance.

well i dont care what kind of texture use, as long i can see text

:) Glad to hear snow will stick, once again any chance of a smaller BSP? Maybe increased player movement also?

red, like that? (rgb channels swapped around)

new terrain, anyone? This one is smaller (~1/10th), and has a purty rendered ground texture, and the hills are fun to jump, yet low poly. It's a map.

You like? I'm sure we could squeeze a couple starships in there somewhere, add trench and bridge, ice, snow, etc.
