PUBLIC ALPHABETA http://tehlag.modacity.net/one/notpix/lookit/it_ff7.zipYeah, it's pretty awsum so far. Other than a few minor things, the closed beta people really like what I have going with it... For those that didn't get the well gee thread, this is meant to be the revelation. It's an Ivory Tower FireFight, if you still don't get it Release date: Either before or after Christmas, depending on whether or not I finish up my Open Sauce configuratin'. Quote: This map will:
Be both Open Sauce AND Non-Open Sauce Compliant.
IF you have Open Sauce and ARE able to use it (requires patch 1.08 only so far) the stats will be able to be saved in between sessions of Halo.
What this means!
-When you hit a save point, certain stats will be saved, and loaded into Open Sauce.
-The stats system devised in this map will then be able to be used in any other map made with Open Sauce to take advantage of these extra options!
What it means for you, the player:
- You will not be required to play this with Open Sauce. You will simply be unable to take advantage of the extra options provided.
- If you do use Open Sauce, the better you do on this map, the more options you will be provided in any other map released by Me or possibly Lodex.
- There is an unknown quantity about to disturb some newbs.
For those that are interested in using Open Sauce without requiring it to play the map, please pm me after this map is released. People who have betas may post videos on xfire and get it linked here, however I bet your versions will be way out of date for what i'm doing. If you have custom weapon tags you don't mind being in a map which will be unprotected, please let me know. As much as I love the original weapons, using them for the past 6 years has gotten, dare I say it? old. Edited by Dwood on Dec 2, 2009 at 07:00 AMEdited by Dwood on Feb 23, 2010 at 05:54 AM

I think I have like five different beta versions in my "Stuff to save and not to delete in case the IRS comes calling" folder. Would the alpha be a higher version, or non_5?

^I agree with the last statement. The gameplay itself I admit was superior to my own.

Edited by Gamma927 on Dec 2, 2009 at 06:59 PM That's because I haven't finished certain sections necessary for Open Sauce with the map, as well as I haven't 100% decided how to implement the point system for the map (eg the extra features for Open-Saucers) Contrary to popular belief, this is not a map about killing. JKIt's about protesting tha man. Edited by Dwood on Dec 2, 2009 at 07:06 PM

Ok, makes sense now :) I think this map is more enjoyable than most other firefights. The only one that can compete with it in terms of fun, imho, is lodex's.

Btw, thanks to some help with thefieryscythe i've completed a section of Open Sauce and finished making it so OS is not required.
Due to some linker errors in debug mode I'm going to have to be transitioning over into a fresh build of Open Sauce, however. At this point I'm making it harder to survive in certain areas. Expect a Public beta next week some time. And if you're on Modacity, there's going to be a private, donators-only beta open some time tomorrow night.

A beta will be available for download in about an hour or so from Modacity to donators so I don't have a massive number of people saying the same things about the map..
OH HEY nvm my site has faster download speeds than that. Stupid Google Chrome was making my download like 50 kbps.
OPEN BETA FROM NOW UNTIL TOMORROW-
E: nvm no one seemed to want a beta to play so I'm removing it from the server. Edited by Dwood on Dec 6, 2009 at 09:07 PM
