This is a new map im working on called Garden.
~~
Things that are in the map:
Light Bridges, that you are able to turn off and on by Gamma.
Mech8 Remastered - A song that plays in the map : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLqBnMtOrJk (I have it ingame already =O) I also have a bunch of really good ambiance sounds ready to roll too.

Thats all for now, heres some pictures, it's still pretty early in progress, but since I want to have a thread and keep it updated, so I decided to make this. I plan on having the bsp done by the middle of next week. The map is called garden becuase most of the map is centered around a garden, with a waterfall that goes down it, and off the side of the edge of the map into oblivion. I may throw this into a map pack with another map, Immolate, which just needs to be finished texturing basically.
Anyway, pics.



I know its not much yet, but I have a feeling it will be nice when done.
I will be working on it alot today, and will post more progress later.
Post any suggestions or comments in this thread
Thanks.

You do know that this will not properly sync on-line in multiplayer.

It does, actually. With a biped killing script. They've done it in Yoyov2 (Ive seen it myself, works fine on a regular server) with there shield doors, which is basically the same.

Dennis I have to Disagree. Because they may have found a way to Really make it Sync or found a good Loop-hole at best.

The reason why it should sync, is instead of global booleans, it uses bipeds as booleans. The bridge will appear once a certain biped dies, and that biped will die, because a vehicle will fall on his head. Vehicles sync, and biped deaths sync, so this should sync. I haven't exactly done a multiplayer test yet, but there is a tutorial on Halomaps that teaches you how to make syncing doors. I did a little modification out of that script, and *poof*, I have a two-way bridge.

Gamma...That was a Trick also use in the maps BloodcreekRC1,2, and maybe 3 if it comes out,Wet Dune,and some DMT map

Bloodcreek RC3 uses alot of sync scripting. Way more than the other two.

The structure of this map seems very unique. Have not seen anything like it in CE yet.

Looks great HiGuy.

You have my support.

I like it :). I can't wait for it to be released.You also have my support.

Hey any idea when it's comin' out? [BTW Abvancebo I think I saw you online on Halo CE last night]

Whenever a certain part of the map is done.

this looks really nice. i like the shape of all the buildings, the curves and that.

What happened to the boat map >:V

if you can fix the error in it that I can't seem to find, ill finish it.

A bit new renders.

k send.

Well,those doors doesnt always work very well:P

Map looks nice.

I can help making some nice trees and plants and stuff.

Biped kill scripts make things appear to sync however they don't actually because of the latency inherent in the transfer and the speed at which it is running on the individual clients which is different than that of the server. They are fine for non-crucial activation of some device machines but to activate a bridge which will undoubtedly play a major role in the game play will hamper the game by the various glitches that will occur when the server is busy. I would not recommend it. HiGuys maps are normally very playable and adding this "trick" of two way bridges will make this a novelty map. Maps that rely on biped syncing scripts generally don’t actually play well.

When the final model is ingame, I'll run a few tests on my Dedicated server and see how things go at max players of 12. If the map dosent approve like that, I'll keep the bridges but you just wont be able to turn them off or on.
Oh and Dennis, its actually 3 bridges, one connects to the center piece from the middle too, oppisite side of the waterfall :P

wow, Nice! Who is higuy?

watdaf

Looks like some kinda futuristic office building to me. Looks good and fun. Don't fail with the sextures. I can halp :V

Nice... i think thats all i have to say

I've liked most of your maps, and I think I'll like this one too. Keep it up.

I find that using exploding weapons works better then vehicles.

Huh?

For syncing stuff.

Replaying to stuff near the top. Just saw this thread.

If anyone's wondering how the lightbridges play out:

Green platform = lightbirdge

Edited by Higuy on Aug 7, 2009 at 11:20 AM

is doing stuff on his own again!! =O


These aren't completely final, but it definitely shows the entire idea of the map ALOT more clear then it did before.

I like the map concept. Is the platform over a body of water?

tis good.

Also, if I'm not wrong, covenant inspiration?
