I'm working on a new SinglePlayer. Again.

Ok. If you've played any of my previous SPs, they're all on a small scale (come to think of it, all of HaloMaps SPs are on a small scale). This one will be one an ENORMOUS SCALE. Kind of. Like Extinction-style. Map BSP is so far is outdoors. I have the basic map skeleton and AI encounters up. However, my BSP is still box, and sucks. I'm looking for modelers to work on a second BSP, so if any of you are good and want to help, please say so.

I'm gonna post pictures soon.

Character List:
-ODSTs
-Marines
-Elites (Minor, Major, SpecOps, Zealot, Ultra, Stealth, Honour Guard and High Councilor)
-Gruntos (Minor, Major, Heavys, SpecOps and Ultra)
-Jackal (Minor, Major and Sniper)
-Hunters

Vehicle list:
-Covenant Gun Tower
-Coldsnap Pelicans
-Phantoms
-Spirits
-Warthogs (gauss and regular)
-Scorpion MBTs
-Ghosts
-Brute Ghosts
-Fuel Rod Ghosts
-Banshees
-Covenant Gun Turret (Halo 2 styled)
-Spectres


As you can see, that's a lot of vehicles, which are needed if you want to create a large-scale SP. Look out for AI that drive them. Including Gruntos which drive Ghosts.

Any modelers?

you do know that you have a limited tag space
and i knwo that if you fit all those vehicles and different bipeds in it
that you may end up with to much tag space wich is being used and excied the maximum limit of MB wich you can add to a map

mmhmm

I manage tagspace well. So far so good. And I've done it half, and its about 116MB (with all the vehicles and AI). The highest it can go is about 150, so I still have plenty of space. And I think its all dependent on the size of your BSP, I think. I've heard that from DarkZealot that he made a 400MB map once.....

well masterz told me a way to keep your tag space down


Masterz1337: the tagspace is increased by the largest file size bsp
GameGodLazy: ?
Masterz1337: so like, if you have 8 bsps that are 3mb
Masterz1337: and one that is 4
Masterz1337: well, you add one that is 4
Masterz1337: then youll lose 1 mb of tagspace
GameGodLazy: so it would be best to get all the bsp's aroudn ththe same amount of MB
Masterz1337: yeah
GameGodLazy: oke thank you
Masterz1337: best to be around the size of the th stock sp bsps
GameGodLazy: yeah mine are about that size
Masterz1337: yeah just keep them at a small size
Masterz1337: and you can have 16 bsps in a sp map

Interesting. I'll go try that. Haven't run out of tagspace yet, due to the fact that my BSP is a bit larger than Exticntion.....

can i build encounters? i can think of some nice encounters.

remember: you can only have up to 80 vehicles, even with scripting. Sapien does not allow you to place more

is there any limit for AI encounters or bipeds? you can make vehicle bipeds

There's a limit to everything. I spent a few hours at home, repeatedly putting down bipeds... >.<

I only have like 20 vehicles....

Let me see:

-Remove the FRGhosts and Brute Ghosts, both are very badly balanced.
-Fix the Covenant Gun Towers please. They have awful accuracy.
-Make sure the phantoms are the latest builds.

That sounds like some things to fix before you start making builds.

and reduce the lag

You don't drive the gun towers. You have to destroy one, controlled by an Elite. Where do I get the latest phantom build?

And what lag?
