Yeah, if the escalator is built like a lift, it would work because lifts, well, they have you stick there if I can say. May be tricky to balance in game however but a never ending rotation of a lift could do the trick.

yeah that lift idea could work. Also English mobster are you gonna have the silenced SMG I'm just saying cause if your gonna have the automag you should have the silenced SMG its pretty easy I know a few people have a good model.

When you finish this Mobster would you allow me to use it for the HCE: ODST mini-campaign?

I'm still undecided if I want to go through the effort of making the escalators work.
Also, I am using Advancebo's released Silenced SMG and FlamingRain's unreleased Automag.
Yes.

Also, Gridlock is ingame. I am currently running radiosity on the level now.

custom weapons make me :D

Custom weapons make me :( Will there be a Classic version of the map?

hey mobster check out the H3 ODST HUD NEEDED topic on the forum someone apparently has a ODST hud that has the red damage effect and it looks pretty much completely accurate you would only need make a few adjustments to it.
Edited by SwordMa5ster on Sep 20, 2009 at 03:11 PM

I'm compromising.
The models/animations ARE custom, but the weapons work EXACTLY the same as the AR/Pistol. Same error, same clip size, etc, just like how the ODST is EXACTLY the same as the Chief.
Things look different, but they really aren't any different than they were in the classic maps.

ALSO, Alpha build screenshots:
Trees need to be planted.

Going to remove the smoke, I don't care for it, myself.

A bit of the Mall interior:

The "escalators" (which aren't going to move and thus are more like stairs right now) to the blue flag:


Finally, a tribute to a fallen Spartan (going to light the area up better later).

yeah found out that its HDoan's HUD he says its not finished yet and he will release when its finished. The maps looking like its turning out good by the way.

I really like how things are going mobster i cant wait to see/play this map. i was really happy with the way u did things in Domain. i hope you do some really cool things with this map

yeah I kinda agree mobster you should ask if anyone would help you make new FP hands.

Going to get to work on new FP hands soon enough; at the very least I'll have a reskin ready.

yeah mobster whats the ODST biped look like. I just want to compare because I know onotix has a really good ODST biped.

You pic it up and say:

"banana phone banana phone"

Sorry, but I completely hate the hands

Mobster new ODST biped thats even better then onotix's

detail looks good

Advancebo is already on the new Biped, although I haven't heard from him all day today.

Also, completely remodeling the area around red base to make it look nicer. Stay tuned.

Looks good but the visor seems a little too blue.

http://www.ripten.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/halo-odst-443x249.gif

Yeah, its still being worked on, I got the polys down to 14000

Looks awesome, although the name... (unless you didn't get it, I was joking)

Look's epic as hell. Reminds me completely of the H3: ODST Mombasa Streets.

1.) Take out the music. :P

2.) Make sure for a fact everything is portalled correctly and also fix the annoying error of two-mirrored faces, so that in Sapien it doesn't block the whole screen. :P

3.) Take out the burning tank and put in a destroyed one (particles in this way will screw it up big time.)

4.) Make the Flags default H1 flags. Idk why, but when we were playing last time the flag was the laggiest part of the game. I believe because it's animated?

5.) Looks great otherwise and could be a good SP level (especially for me). However, remove any music and uneeded particles (mainly the burning tank and pelican particles, pelican for sure since you don't even look at it. Also, fill in the gaps of the level with either a better texture (loved the metal gates from H2) when you get close to Domain's section, mainly by the mall.

Could it be possible to rig the ODST to Cyborg? It would make everything so damn convenient.

Hey Mob, I think it would be a cool idea if you had the New Mombasa doors like the ones in ODST. It would keep it true to New Mombasa. I just so happen to have a virtual replica I literally modeled 5 minutes ago. Just needs to be smoothed and textured. I'll donate.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z85/nexushalo/door.jpg

Do the device doors, And Ill animate em.

Okay. I wasnt going to add the detail of the door to the model and instead just make it a texture but I fail at making textures and unwrapping. I'll work on it again tonight. I'm on my break right now.

Looks very nice, will you be giving some of the weapons new models?

I worked on the actual door.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z85/nexushalo/door2.jpg

You could just use the doors found on POA

1. But... But I LIKE the music by the mall... (That's based off of music which actually plays at the mall by my house, btw).
2. Hah, that annoys me, too. It's been fixed since that build, I decided to remove 2 of my 3 dynamic mirrors.
3. Unfortunately, every human vehicle in H1 can't be destroyed. I don't know why. The tank doesn't HAVE a destroyed model; I would have to make one from scratch. I've been considering making one though.
4. The flag's new texture shouldn't make a difference. The texture isn't animated; those are the H1 flags in every way except for the new texture.
5. I've been trying to cut down on the particles, but they DO add to the atmosphere of the level.
And the ODST is rigged to Cyborg by default.

I would love to use those doors. I actually have a texture I already made for the doors, though I never got around to the model. Contact me via Xfire.

I'm doing a remodel of the Red base (the Peter Marks Memorial). What started as a mission to get rid of the phantom BSP there turned into me thinking the entire place was crappy and redoing the whole section.
I'm nearly done with the new part. I drew heavy inspiration from Tayari Plaza (aka Crater and Crater Night), adapting the BSP to the hotel area and making the big stone pillars into Hang 'Em High "tombstones" with the Peter Marks memorial in the center.
The process of remodeling actually added in a new building, so now the hotel circle is actually a (semi) circle instead of just a hotel with garbage thrown around it. The new building shouldn't affect gameplay too much, other than keeping snipers from picking off respawning players. It also creates a new vehicle "bottleneck", allowing attackers to be subject to ambushes.

One last change is the addition of a LAAG turret to each base to aid with defense. They are located just outside of the flag rooms on both bases, although both cannot attack players who use the mall's interior to get "underneath" the turrets. Both turrets are located underneath bright streetlights and are easy targets for snipers.

I'm posting the model for all to download if they want it. There is no texture but if Mob is generous enough to release it as well that would be cool.

I actually took the time to make a real texture for once, lol.

Also, a more accurate concept:

Ill fix it up.
