I'd like to get some feedback on a new map I've been working on...

A video and some pictures and video can be viewed at my new forum...

I actually almost made a new map for this, based on a concept of mine, but i stopped working on it. That map is pretty small, i suggest making different levels (vertical wise). Almost like Deimos from UT3:

Coincidentally, I thought about making a map like Deimos for CE, with the same layout and stuff.

black crypt that map looks nice. what weapon set you using?

As it's a remake of a stock map, I'll be using the stock weapon set.

I actually think it looks a bit nicer than stock Derelict. Nice!

That said, it wouldn't hurt if you tried to add more detail. The simple, clean look is good, but some spots, like the hallways, look a bit bland.

Posted a youtube comment.

I'm gonna be running a beta version on my 'dedi' server over the weekend.

You can download the test map from my filefront page... http://www.filefront.com/15806273/bc_carousel_beta_mp.zip

The server IP is 212.187.247.109:2302

I'll be running various gametypes. Pop along and then let me know your views.

*coughs* any zombie games? *coughs*

Floor tiles are tiled a bit too small in my opinion but overall I love the map! Nice texturing. I wonder how the top will work with the overall gameplay. Would have to test with more people.

Its very nice crypt,but as arteen and everyone else said,add a bit more detail,other than that its great

agreed takes at least 8 people to test a small/ medium map. unless you know how to make good AI and test it

You can have lots of fun with AI, but they won't discover as many bugs / gameplay issues as humans will.

ya true... you guys ever heard of > explosive stunting of halo pc... well if you dont they have found the most glitches and stuff, and many other people (ME). but they trained me. so ya gamma is right. and if you dont know who ES is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGrmAzScQ0k&feature=related watch part 1 to part 4. all of it is complex to do but some simple.

Aww the good Ol' days when i used to go through maps and walk on every inch and look for flaws and glitches. had a whloe crew back then.

lol. I have 4 people help me. and I trained them. when I do it I do it for days until I crack everything. just like cmt snow grove so many ledges there, floating vehics if you do a certain hog flip. wall bumps. and many more

played this yesterday, i like it...little boring to look at but cool

is this beta unprotected?

Is this really something you have to ask?

yes.... lol im to lazy to check with hek+

It takes more effort to open up IE, wait for the page to load, find the topic, type out the question, and wait for a response than it does to double click the shortcut to HEK+ and then double click the .map :V
Also not to mention it takes about 10x as long too.

I'm more inclined to ask why you ask your question. It's protected.

Thanks for all the comments, positive or otherwise.

Can someone tell me why some people are unable to see the plasma shaders?

because some peoples computers may not be able to see it.

People with old computers. Simple as that. Run halo in -ff mode to see what your map looks like on their computers.

I've uploaded this map to halomaps. Just waiting for a link now.

I'll be running it with several gametypes on my server 'Black Crypt's CE Server' (212.187.247.109:2302) for a few days if you want to try it out.

Looks alright, im not to keen about the visual style though. Probably could of made it a bit more prettier, added some more lights, etc.

In my opinion, it looks exactly like it's supposed to - a lonely outpost in the middle of space. Pretty takes a back seat to playability and compared to the map it's based on, it's a big improvement.

You can now download this map from http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5215
