This is what scenery is for. You lose a lot of detail in doing so however.

That's why I was thinking of just putting it a little away from the surface so that I could retain bumps and such.

= D

Thats true dude.

jee, thanks. /sarcasm

Lol you missed my sarcasm?

I'm so excited.

new update.

anyways what hud we using?

Unsure as of yet. You got a recommendation.

well.... whats are weapon set?

Well, we would like to have the weapon basically short and mid range weapons such as carbine, BR, smg, ar, plasma weaps, etc. I don't think snipes would be all too appropriate for this map. If someone wants that, they can play custom gametypes or shotty snipe or something.

it sounds good but i think if its ok we should use the cmt plasma weps. and cmt carbine. everything else sounds ok... also I snipe on small maps along with other people is the problem. but the classic sniper model is dull

yes you can do this. after you place them all attach them as one object separate from the level and attach it to the frame. you don't need to have them floating either. they can intersect the bsp. you will get no-leaves errors though

What exactly do leaves errors tell you? Just that planes intersect? I've wondered this a while but never checked.

And here is an update on the barricades. I tried to make them a bit smoother. Do they look like maybe they need to be bigger so it isn't required to crouch behind them?

I think Dennis doesn't/hasn't banned you yet because he thinks it's fun to watch others try to squirm under your humor.

Please stay on topic: UNMT Mapping Team official Thread

they look good like that. I like crouching behind stuff because you want to be able to jump the barricades when you need to.

example: im getting shot all I have is a shotgun. my shields go down I crouch. guy is coming closer. I jump over and shoot him with shotgun, and get the kill.

agreed, being able to see over them/jump on top of them is a good thing.

we can always change the biped settings to the h2 jumping height. wich can jump ontop pillars in infernos leaked eggplant. anyways the grenades will be a challenge for the player.

also the barricade is fine. we can crouch walk to look out the sides of it.

Jumping height shouldnt be changed, that would mess with gameplay. Such as someone jumping high enough to avoid a rocket launcher.

Err, I'm not too good with description, but go up to anyone (like Selentic) about your Forerunner design and he will show you what I mean and maybe more.

Well, I see where you are coming from, but one of my plans is to use an increased jump height. And why shouldn't someone be able to avoid a rocket launcher? It happens all the time in halo 3 where it doesn't kill you but just brings down your shields. Maybe I will make it more semi halo 2 where it will be between sort of.

Darkhalo. are you perhaps referring to the fact that the angles I am using for the faces are all like 45s and much of forerunner architecture is on steeper angles?

Thats also because the area of damage for the rocket launcher was lowered in Halo 3, and the fact that you can jump crazy high in Halo 3.

Ah

ima agree with slasher. also in the middle of the map is there supposed to be glass where the holes are?

you can easily crouch-jump onto MC's head.

Don't modify the jump. It's stupid.

heres my only concern about the jumping. you can jump from the middle to the top left or right side in h3. I want that to be perfect for ce no errors because people need more then one way to get places.

Just a few BSP updates.
Still planning to change some more interior supports and also have the tactical drops into the tunnels below the flag areas.





Some lighting that will be used







Switched to some nicer more Forerunnerish side supports



I think that the barricade is too small.his is it and it is a little small.

Looking great! There is still that one forerunner-design flaw with part of the Barricade that is bothering me though. However, it may also just be the lighting. :P

Why do I prefer models with no textures...

Still looking extremley blank, get more cover in there.

Like I said, COVY CRATES!!!!!

It all looks really blank, either size it down, or find a way to fill the spaces more, since the only cover right now seems to be those barricades.

Or Forey Crates.

We havent started populating yet,
As I belive we're on stage 2/6 of the map.

What exactly does a Forerunner crate even look like? I don't know if covie crates will be very appropriate but we'll see how they look with the color scheme. That's the only thing I am concerned about ATM.

OMG I'm so happy right now.
8 gig ram = me :D
