i thought that only happened to me lol

Yeah it happened to me too lol.

offtopic: anonymous_2009 flooded the forums again lol.

The textures remind me of soup, but soon as I hit captain on reach, I'll give it a go.

Lol, no it's not.
I know that and I dont even have Reach. XD

i can't understand why it wouldn't be a firefight map though. (in halo reach)

Probably because it's too big of a map?

Probably...

what about my thoughts lol. also, personal copies???

because the layout of the map wouldn't work right. its also too large, hence why Bungie hasn't added Glacier into firefight matchmaking.

Since wh-...

Never mind.

It was a good idea but the map failed.


-Skidrow

To really enjoy this, instead of camping on your base, go to the very center of the map (On the ground, dont use the tower unless you need to) and it's very challenging and fun from there. I love this map except for the AI bugs and Respawn weapons

You think his is messed up try my first firefight. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UF7N442J

My first firefight.

uhh, can you give me a name? I dont want to download something blind...I dont need pictures though

It is a ZIP containing one map file called Skidrow's firefight. It is the first wave based map that I have made.

It is completely safe.

And kinda fun. Then HUD messages and icons are messed up and maybe some other stuff IDK it's old.

i'll give it a shot eh? might be good i didn't really care for solitude though but who cares it's firefight

we didn't know it was going to be not very good, shadowslayer made it sound like the best possible firefight map yet, but it wasn't i still like mud_skirmish and b40 firefight the best nuffsaid

You also lag like crazy. At least in solitude you really don't lag that much.

I have been given the task of fixing up solitude-firefight for re-release.

Things I have changed:
1. Fixed plasma grenade pickup sound
2. Added intro cutscene
3. Gotten rid of sound preload
4. Redid player spawn facing
5. Fixed spawn ammo counts.
6. Fixed all hud interfaces.
7. Made ai seek out the player.
8. Made the squads maneuver to each other.
9. Made them magically see the player and try to fight unit.
10. Made the ending (all lives lost) have a fade out to black.
11. Fixed weapon strings.
12. Moved lazer spawn somewhere else
13. Replaced old lazer spawn with shotgun
14. Added more weapons and ammo around the map.
15. Put ammo inside the guns laying around the map.
16. Added a health pack in the far cave tunnel.
17. Redid all firing positions.
18. Replaced some weapon tags with upated ones, for example, the assault rifle.
19. Moved some scenery and ammo, guns, etc, to refined positions.
20. Fixed shaders on enemies.

Here are some pics of those fixed shaders:




Things still to be done:
1. Fix manuevering jackal side to grunt side glitch in a certain area
2. Fix hud pickup icons
3. Make hud pickup icons smaller
4. Do final polishing.

Anyways, yeah.

Hmm might actually look good...

knowing mooseguy it's either a lot better or a lot worse, not in between



jk, lol just wanted to post somethin i dunt no this guy at all :p

Fix the magnum 3p model (hand position is off), or obtain it from Jesse or someone who has it.

damage effect on the h3 plasma pistol, blame sandy trap and jesse's "brilliant" force zoom binocular via damage effect idea as well as modders slappin the pp tags on grunts without caring whether or not the enemies will scream like morons because of that. I removed those binoculars a long time ago because I wasn't going to remove some of the enemies dialog to just to make them shut up so I chose to remove the damage effect and zoom instead.

All I ask is to please MAKE THE GRUNTS STFU! Annoying as hell with them screaming non-stop.

Already fixed. I went and modified the grunt dialog tags.
Also, I don't think the way you hold a pistol in third person will ever be seen.
One thing I don't get is the elite animations. Is it even possible to fix those?
Edited by MoooseGuy on Oct 18, 2010 at 01:31 AM

Replace them with retail elite animations.

That seems like that's my solution to all worries. Replace everything with retail everything!

Guys, I need to know, is there anything not on my list that you would like to see done/fixed?

Don't come up with insane stuff (IE Grunts: "Add ghosts and wraiths and hunters and brutes!"), please keep it inside Shadowslayer's designed purposes.
Edited by MoooseGuy on Oct 18, 2010 at 03:17 AM

I actually think adding some vehicles wouldn't be a bad idea...

Idea -

Every 5 wave,A ghost will come in and shoot the hell out of u.U can either hijack it or destory it.

Anything constructive with the materials I have? This is only a fix-up anyway, I'm moving on to Firefight-Descent after this.

Good work so far, Mooseguy. Perhaps you could fix up my ff, eh?
Anyway, yeah, the jackal shields need the indents. But I like the mask noise and detail so far, so try not to mess up the UVW on it when the model is fixed. Just a tip.
Removing the scope damage = meh. Considering I personally scope the visor a lot, and that the grunts damage themselves with it... it's an ok solution.

yo moose, i think there should be hunters if there arent any. lol i never played this through so idk.

Hey Mooseguy, I think you got all, if not 99% of the bugs there. Soo, you're good to go?

Edit: BTW, that jackal looks hungry...:P
Edited by Skyancez3o4 on Oct 18, 2010 at 07:32 PM

I am giving the map back to shadowslayer for final fixing. I am done, tired, and, well, done.
Things to still get fixed before re-release:
1. HUD pickup Icons.
2. Jackal "getting stuck" glitch in central structure.
3. AI camping in your base (apparently he want to keep this).
4. Music cutting out upon certain sounds (Unfixable, I think).

Anyways, I'm tired, and I'm going to bed. Peace.

hey just played the map, its ok, but i think the reason i keep dying is not cuz of the covenant but because i keep walking off the ledges when trying to replenish my shields

Page 45 of the biped WIP, i think.
