its fine

Hey mobster, I almost finished that ODST flag poster thing, sorry but I havent really had the time to work on it latley due to school, do you still want me to finish it for the map? All I have left is the ground and the sky.

By the way, you know those red and blue tunnels with the do not block signs by them, I think they need to ne more noticeable in the map. Try lighting up the area around them. Ive only played the map by myself on LAN, but I think that would make that path become taken more.

Also I love the door texture.

I would like to see whre I gave you permission to use my ODST Pistol which I allowed FlamingRain to animate as long as he sent to no one else...

Well, I think I sent it FlamingRain to animate...

I Just Finished the poster, I think it turned out great.

Heres a link to the picture if you decide to put it in the map: http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m421/_Ro0ster_/ODST_Flag_Poster.png

This looks epic! i love odsts to bad i dont have a 360 so i cant play the new halo 3 odst.

was just playing beta 2, can you please make the covenant enrgy blocker thingy into scenery instead and maybe redo the textures and model for it...

just thoughts, especially if you're basing it off ODST

Put the genorator in the midle of it too and the shield really needs a shader overhaul, but I guess its only a beta.

FYI for anyone who downloads the model and texture your going to have to shift some verts around to fit the texture. You have to remember the texture wasn't specifically made to fit this model.

J.

Add me on xfire. I only have your old account.

thepacman

Should be done later today.

nice door there.
and why are there green balls at the sides (i'm curious to find out.....)?

Animations I believe.

The green balls are nodes, for movement when animating. You won't see them ingame. If you did, the pistol would be covered with green balls.

Is this still a night map? Or will it have lighting like Tayari Plaza? If it's the second, I got the music in Halo CE for it. I eventually plan to make loops as well.

Im guessing you got the OST?

Yeah, but I have a decent looping sound running now. There are some tellable faults in it though.

Thanks a lot, Ro0ster. I like it.
I'll find a place for it, since I'm still working on the model. =P

FlamingRain told me that pistol was 100% his. I'm currently taking his word for it.
You have to remember you two were modeling the same thing using (probably) the same references. They'll look similar if not identical.
Although I WILL talk to FRain about it.

There are multiple reasons why it's BSP and not scenery:
BSP has better collision than scenery (less chance of hog glitching through it).
Less memory is taken up by BSP than by scenery.
BSP receives better lightmaps.

The shaders are temporary while I work on some new ones.

It's still a night map. And I'm trying to limit the music; the only reason why the mall has any kind of music at all is because most malls play background ambient music around them.

It is Hunters/Anonymous 2009's magnum.

Yeah, the automag's model is hunters. I edited it slightly so it would look better in first person.

Also, you never said I couldn't send it to anyone. If that were the case, I wouldn't have sent it to anyone. I also textured it and put it ingame, so 1/2 of it is mine.

looks bomb when can i get it?

Still working on the new model. Sealing up open edges, etc.
Gameplay was great, as expected. Now I'm spicing up the visuals to make this map awesome.

Looking great.

Snaf told me to ditch the model and redo everything. Since he's a professional who works in the field, I took his advice and I'm beginning a remodel.
Here's the changelog:
REMOVED/ALTERED:

• Streets will be 100% redone and reunwrapped.


• The main red and blue "fire exit" entrance to the mall (the infantry route closest to each base) is going to be remade from a fire exit to instead a section of the Superintendent's data core from the ODST level "Data Hive". I feel this is probably the best way to cover up an otherwise bland hallway.


• The area which someone on the last page felt was "too bland" is going to be remade into an exterior fire exit. This will allow people sneaking up on a sniper/turret gunner to be picked off more easily by a good team, as well as allow people climbing said fire exit to spot people shotgun camping on the fire escapes and pick them off before they climb the stairs.


• Blue base (the former hotel area) is going to be remade, more extensively based off of the Firefight map "Crater" than it already was. The Hotel is going to go bye-bye.


• Train station remodeled to match the one from H2's "Terminal".


• Entire South side of the map (freeway side) going to be ripped out and replaced with a parking garage like the one in "Terminal".


• Most of the crappy-looking wreckage is going to be removed; the exception being where Domain's Pelican crashed. Here, I will take steps to reduce the wreckage without fundamentally altering Domain's BSP, as being able to see Domain from Gridlock is part of the map's basic setting.

SALVAGED:

• Domain's BSP.


• The Blue base "Escalator" area (mostly). Is going to be remodeled, but will retain the same shape.


• The "park" I have by the hotel; this is part of the "Crater" remodel I was talking about earlier. Most buildings surrounding the area will be removed, however.


• The "Grifball" court.


• Mall interior going to keep the basic shape and function, although is going to be more akin to H2's "Ivory Tower" appearance-wise.

To sum it up:

Interesting, can't wait to see the result. If you need any help with anything Holla!

If your gonna redo the whole thing you should look at the odst models thread here on the forums you could probally use some of them in the map all you need is for someone to help texture them.

^They are high poly, and they havent been released yet.

Yay for redesigns!

Why the grainy quality?
Model looks pretty good though. You've got a nasty nonplanar in the lower left hand corner there though.

Me likey.

Almost time to start working on the other side now!

Looking good, though I don't like how the building on the right leans out.

yeah mobster a bunch of models from Halo 3 odst stuff was released. Just take a look when ya can, maybe you can use some of em.

No^
those models are horribly high poly, and will not do any good in Halo CE.

can they be edited to use less poly's?

Why don't you try?
