lol. it's a reach map. you expected less?

nope, just sain that a good map does not need to be exactly goodlooking-masterpice-kickassreplica
this map is not exactly beautiful to our eyes... buy its gameplay is awesome, and in my case hi-competive map under MLG rules

I LOVE IT

@StatutoryTrOy

I'll pack up all of my models for scenery and the map, as well as all the textures i've used. I'll send you a link in a PM to the download.

Only thing I ask is I get credit for the BSP...

no worries helix i was going to do that from the start, thank you very much, i really appreciate it, if you have halo 2 i will send you a copy of the map, and if you want once i add all the details i can send you the bsp so you can make a nice v2 for halo ce

lol. someone stole the name "powerhouse v2". it'll have to be v3 due to dennis' rules of no repeated names.

or even better

powerhouse_final..

but what if it isn't final? do we have all the weapons yet?

wow helix i had no idea how detailed it was, i guess my version won't be too much different from yours except the inside of the buildings.

thank you very much btw

"Powerhouse Version 2.00"

"powerhousev2pb.map"

yea see that is a better alternative.

I vote for the "final"

Are you complaining or thanking? How about a thought experiment: Would you prefer multiple maps with the same name? How about all the mods? what if they were all called bloodgulch? How would you know which one was running on a server? Or what if someone made a bloodgulch mod and called it hugeass or coldsnap or powerhouse? How would you know which map was running on the server?

No it's actually been a very good day. It's just been very poor thought out posts by others.

This is your last warning.

Pictures of progress <3. Anyway, call it PowerHouse_Reach.

so wait did troy just adopt powerhouse?

statutory troy huuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

the amazing guys whos doing bsp for powerhouse for h2 hce

No. We agreed that the model was for your private use only.

troy is doing a remake of boneyard for h2v and helix is doing a remake of powerhouse for hce. helix gave troy the permission to port his powerhouse bsp over to h2v and troy is gonna give his boneyard bsp over to some team i never heard of to be ported to hce.

OMG!!! His accound got locked for this?! Poor Zira Vadum he tought his name would be never spoken of again so he let himself get banned, instead it got locked whitch means his name will burn in shame forever ;-(. I won't interfear whit Dennis judgement it's all his call. But Zira if you read this as a quest or something...

Well let's ignor my post people go on whit the subject.

dennis being dennis, end of story.

anyway thx for clearing that whole h2v thing up, I was pretty confused.

also elefant you can't expect someone you don't even truly know besides the internet to honor an agreement, take sceny for example... (yea I dare speak his name)

and this is y we dont get nice things. come on eleafant it would be nice for the community.

wow can't wait to show you guys how good powerhouse is looking, btw helix i wish you hadn't converted it into editable mesh, i kinda hate mesh, it makes detail adding really hard, but oh my gosh powerhouse is going to look amazing once i'm done

convert it back to editable poly? i only did that to get an accurate tri count...

well its about having triangles instead of squares, squares are much easier to work with, but it will only slow me down a little, i have good news for everyone: i am officially done modeling bone yard, i'm just waiting on a friend to make some shaders for me and then i'm going to textures it which should take at max 4 days, and then if the rfu team releases in a timely fashion then you all will be playing on it in no time, if anyone who has experience in making fire fight maps would like to make one for bone yard (which would be very awesome indeed) just show me some of your work.

Got some reach weapons pretty much done. Models aren't mine, but I modified them some to get them how I wanted, however; I did texture them.

Pistol:


Shotgun:


Rocket Launcher:

While the basic design is there, the weapons themselves seem comparable to something from an early Play Station game. Perhaps you should stick with rough equivalents, and modify them to be statistically similar to their Reach counterparts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pistol: I have a pretty good M6G you could use. And seeing as how the magnum featured in Reach is a slightly modified variant of the M6G, I think it would be perfectly acceptable to use this as a placeholder of sorts.

Assault Rifle: Just modify the standard MA5B. A reskin would help it fit in better.

Rocket Launcher: Tweaking the model of the Halo 2 Launcher would probably work.

Focus Rifle: A beam rifle variant that fires a continous blue Sentinal Beam.

Needle Rifle: A Covenant Carbine mod that fires headshot capable crystalline projectiles.

Grenade Launcher: Take the M90A Shotgun from Halo 3, and make it lob frags.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I said, these are only rough equivalents, but for gameplay purposes, they should suffice with slight modding.

And can you do something about that water? It looks like someone angrily rippling a large bedsheet. :P

weapons are nice, I think they are kind of bland without different anims.classic just makes it look like a halo trial mod...not saying you need to make anims from scratch, but I would just use different ones.

If I were you I would keep the standard Rocket Launcher, it looks better than the one you have in there now.

all those weapons are good. they could use more detail though. the pistol needs a better texture and shader, the shottie needs a better shader, and the RL needs more polys (more detail).

the shotgun is red.

no its blue
