I need someones help. I need someone to light this and populate it. The bsp is basically done but I wanted to go for an aztec/jungle theme, I can't seem to accomplish it. Here are the pictures. I really need someone trustworthy to light it and or populate for the jungle look

This looks promising, I hope you can get some help and get it finished.

The only thing I would do (other than the lighting and population) is try making the ground look a bit older, add some broken tiles and/or vines/weeds growing over it, or just something to give it some more varience, because at the moment it looks a bit bland.
EDIT: I'm talking about the ground texture there^

What you want to do is have a ground map and mix in grass and the stone detail maps. Or dirt and stone.

That last picture shown looks cool

Great Map K_I_D! It's a 5 star map in my book.

Looks fantastic. As a finishing touch, if you have time, add some lilly-pads in the water as scenery. Maybe you could ask HDoan for those flying birds from Halo 2 to add into the sky.

BTW, I think it could use some more scenery/cover. Maybe have some brown rocks scattered around. If it looks bad, you can get rid of it.

Wait, if its an Aztec/Jungle theme, why are there pine trees?

And make the water a slight green tint. And add fishies. And little bug particles. And more jungle ish trees.

THEY ARE NOT PINE TREES. Lol But rlly they arent

And also.

-Where are the lillie pads?
-Where are teh fish!

Checlist:

• Lilypads
check

• fishizzles
not check

Porting the QuadWing birds from Halo 2 and rig em as sentinal with random waypoints in the sky adds alot to the living feeling of a jungle, much like C10's bugs

I got the bugs, but does anyone have birds I can use?

You could use the flying reptile scenery from Area53.

*edit: Although stylized for the comic here is a close up picture of them when I placed them into Autum Slay. http://hcec.halomaps.org/comics.cfm?cid=47

Ugh, I tried doing this with sentinels a while ago on one of my maps, it didnt work so well. You would shoot them, then ALL of the sentinels would stop moving, and look at you for the rest of the game. x(

Thanks Dennis! Ill give it a shot!

Oh.. well mb add in some vines too, if you can find them.

They've been added and look great.

I wanna do a beta test but I cant trust anyone after inferno's leak.

you can Trust me cause I don't know how to Upload anything! lol...but I don't have X-Fire....

Ill send you a link. Waiting on advancebo for the lily pads. I got the fish done and am adding a new water bitmap.

ok PM me the link when your ready

Make the water a bit more, darker... or maybe see through some what?

When are you planning on having a beta?

I like my water blue tbh






And when I get the spawns all fixed I am just going to release it. PPL hate me, it WILL get leaked so I am just gonna release the final.

Hey listen,I'm not like the other people and their pickin' on you because.....well say Me and you are Greenhorns on a Card boat. Every one would pick on us because we haven't Proved are selfs yet.

The map looks really big compared to the chief tbh

We hate you because you're an idiot.

I don't hate KIDD, he's proved that he can be a cool dude. People in this community like to hold grudges. I only hold grudges on people who haven't changed. :)

I never hold Grudges. I'm also one of the Only few guys who listens to the host in a game all the time. I've also been able to Pull a Rag tag team in a CTF game together and won even when we where out guned and out numbered.[Oh that guy got lucky that he was not next door to me] and etc. I'm a good guy you know.

LOL

KiDD has been here longer than I have. You really shouldn't go by join dates.

And ground texture still needs varience! >:V

I got an idea go look at some of GAIGHERs maps and maybe you'll get something out of it, also note I'm talking about his 2 newer maps. His new maps kinda have a jungle look to them...

EDIT: his maps here

insomnia: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4086

paradis perdu:http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4721

notably insomnia is a pretty nice jungle map...

you could also check out
jungle creek ai:http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3549

cus it also looks kinda jungle-y

If you do that, be careful how closely you look at the maps. GAIGHER has a nasty habit of hiding porn in his maps.

Thank you Captain obvious. : P
Actually I haven't found the "secret room" in paridis perdu.

Anyway, I'm really liking this map. What kinda weapon set are you using? And it DOES look kinda big. What happens when you jump in the water? Those walls look kinda steep, will you be able to get out?

Its ok if you missed it but yeah, I did release the map in another thread :D

www.machinimonster.com/remains.zip

I wont tell you any of the answers just to make you dl it.

My tips:

Change the AR, the animations are terrible and the bitmaps are all screwed up, also no sound
the map exceptions, have had it twice, not sure of the cause.

One of the problems is that you accidentally put one of the spawnpoints under the map and depending on what you do there can make it exception :/
