First let me say I will not rip those as I believe that the creators of any tags scripts etc... deserve the credit when it is due.

If anyone can help with some of these tags it would be greatly appreaciated. Creators will be given the propper credit.




@ Dennis: why are there tags on the site that don't work propperly? Just curious because that is like selling a car with no tires.

What can you do? Texture, model?

We have no mechanism to test tags and rely on the authors to supply working uploads. We test maps and utilities but do not test tags. They are supplied as "Use at your own risk."

Halo Maps does not “make” anything we host we are just a user supported file archive for the Halo CE community.

i would help but :effort:

@ Xel- I mod on a graphics forum... so I know that it is the right thing to do, thanks for the effort :)


@ anonymous_2009 - I model my own maps, haven't tried much for scenery yet. I am currently many hours into another Halo 3 campaign inspired map so that is why I was asking.


@ Denis- I understand you do not make them, I was just wondering if they were checked out before added to the massive storage on the site.

Thanks for replying to my question.

Any help would be greatful.

Actually Hawk let me say one thing,
Right now there are already A LOT of people currently making halo 3 styled tags.
So my suggestion would be to tag something a little more creative, say your own custom weapon that you thought up yourself. That way there can be some more "fun" in the maps people create and less "copies".

I mean really if you want halo 3 just PLAY halo 3.
But then again some people just maps for fun so it's ok. Though being creative is much more honorable.

Also good luck in your future career! Hope to see you prosper.

We do not have the time to "check them out" before adding them. We have to rely on the authors. Besides why would I want to corrupt my own tag set - LOL

Do you texture at all?

Pictures of your work?

its more like giving out free lego cars with no tires. it cant drive, but it can be taken apart and used to build all sorts of other things

lovely analogy :thumbsup:

i have a few halo 3 tags

Me too.

I have/ play Halo 3 and ODST, both of which give me some inspiration for creating my maps.
I understand about creating your own content... I just haven't advanced to that level of the learning curve to work on animations and the properties etc of the weapons.
Thank you for the well wishes.




I textured my own map, though sheer determination and learning from my own mistakes. Lets face it, there aren't many tutorials on Texturing your map with more than 2 or 3 bitmaps.
I don't give up easily and have a few pages of notes to guide me along the way now.

One is complete and already on Halomaps... the other two are about 80% and 40% completed with the modeling.
You can see my latest called Hysteria.. and here is a pic of one of my wips:

Looks good! a bit plain and the the ground bitmaps and the lightmaps look weird. just my two cents but it's looking really good!

cause he |337.
That or it's based on it.

Nice.

The geometry is basic and very boxy at the moment. The map with the textures looks great, though you might want to scale the map around, to fit vehicles better.

Oh and another thing Hawk, you may notice that some people here are to be of the unsatisfactory sort, or just immature.

But I guess it was always like this.

Ya I guess you could say I'm pretty disappointed in the community.

ANYWAY. So what type of mood are you trying to give your map? Something like sandy ruins? Or dry desert?

I like this map.

I know, I was more or less checking out how the bitmaps looked. I didn't run a full radiosity on it so that might be the reason. Thanks for the comment :)




As Cousin Eddie said "BINGO"

Inspiration more or less.I am trying to combine a lot of the aspects of that level into a worthwhile CE map. :)




Thanks, I'm trying to get it to look good and play well with the vehicles. There is a bit more room but I don't want to spoil the map so I can only show you what pics I already posted. I will fine tune the geometry once i am done with the modeling... that latest version of my map was more of a " let's see what this looks like " when I edited some of the bitmaps.



I understand, it gets like that all over. But you shouldn't be disappointed as the community still thrives.. if it fails, then you have something to be disappointed about.

I am trying to give it that airid dry desert mood...


Thank you jesse
