ok

how do you find out whats causing exceptions?

ingame or in sapien?
if its ingame, its trial and error, just pick up all the weapons and fire them, do some crazy stuff the campaign wasn't for you to do etc.
in sapien, its just checking debug.txt after adding a tag in question.

hi

just looking for an update on how the bsp is going?

i cant think up anything up to add here, have any ideas?

Nah i reckon it's good. just needs some populating with scenery.

also that spot is huge, bigger than blood gulch

scenery

Add a lot more variation in the terrain.

looks great so far. desperately needs unwrapping ha but looks pretty great so far

since its an island, i would like to see more sand. i like the look and feel of the terrain you have so far, but some sand would be great.

the top part you were talking about could use some more of those structures you have placed around the island. those look pretty cool. as part of the level, i wanted to add a part where you hole up into a tower and fight off waves of enemies. preferably a type of futuristic "bell tower". that will make sense later ha. the structures also should look older and ruined, and sunken into the ground.

it looks absolutely fantastic so far. youre doing a great job so far and i really like what you have going. if possible, do you have a time estimate on when this will be completed?

everything looks awesome though keep it up!

Giant polies! O No! Don't be lazy now, make some good terrain in there Those planes are seriously huge dude. This map has good potential and we wouldn't want to ruin the terrain now would we? :P

ya what slasher said.. i pronounced him the king of forrunner stuff in my back :D

also the unwrap wont take long but scorp needs to finalize all the bsp's for me then ill unwrap everything and fix textures

alright cool. im so anxious to start working on this!

No! Don't say that then ppl will expect crap of me. I no like that. lol
I wouldn't say that though. In fact, I suck at modeling in general. Yes! HORRRRIBLE!!!!

lol lies looks at citadel look back at you.

lol. U can't look at me! Unless... Eeew! You perv.
lol
jk

ok lets get back on topic slasher ima pm u a map idea...

Add sand, big rocks and trees to make it more interesting.

Very nice Forerunner and terrain modeling!

...I could learn a couple things from you...

Add some freaking definition to your models. Right now its like flat up and down and side to side ;_;

Dur i know that, this is just a base model also i didn't populate it yet

Im not sure how this is going to be designed. Is the story or encounter coming first or is the bsp coming first with the story and encounters being crammed in there to suit a flat twisty canyon. Just because a map is bigger than bloodgulch doesn't mean its great. Higuy is talking about the model itself, not how you populate it. I'd imagine is just a mess of wasted polies in there, just looking from your last screen shot.

i was thinking of asking sonic to define the encounters or design a layout but never got around to it, could now be a good time to ask?, also the part being bigger than bloodgulch i was thinking of it as a flaw not some super awesome thingy

Its never too late to ask and redesign in this situation and always best to start with some sort of plan rather than not having a plan. Not having a plan almost always means that you will have to start over and remake the bsp or make constant painful adjustments, resulting in frustration and wasted time.

ya if sonic can give us a idea like start out on a beach and crashed pelican then idk
