I have always wondered this mainly because all I usually see anymore is tons of BG mods and RPG mods but rarely is there a NEW map released that doesn't use a BSP already seen.

I do.

I BSP modeled but I have never released a map.
I could definitely do it but especially now I am extremely hard pressed for time. College life is rough. Right now I'm taking a mental health break from my physics lab report which is a good 8 pages long right now. I have a couple of map designs but I never have gotten them even close to being ingame. My best bet is this new project I'm starting on but right now it's only half done and on pencil and paper, and it's been that way for a good week and a half because I've been so busy. I never plan on releasing a box map or a map that is heightmap only. But this may also mean that I may not actually ever release a map, at least not any time soon.

i do, i just dont release alot. ill release a pack of models at a later time before i ship for BCT.

I feel ya, Geared. I will be doing the same thing in August. (BCT, that is.)

I model BSP's.

as if thats a surprise lol xD

i model bsp's

I do.

Stop lyin to me Hydrogen!

-_- if i could remember how i did cliffs i would model more exterior.. also im lazy so i occasionly take stuff from other maps for some reasons. higuy does the same.. he took some pieces of duce's bsps arteens bsp's and bungies bsp's and put it in lumoria!

pics or didnt happen.

sorry grunts but ive never seen your work so i dont believe you

BSP modeling is the way of the past anyway. It's all about modularity now. Not entirely sure how Halo's new engines work but most games now either use something very similar to hammer or are 100% modular sets.

:P let me guess your gonna say its a secret ASP project

What? no. he only took portions from bungie's bsps to create faster environments, even then they already fit the level.

I'm trying to make a bsp, but it's mostly recycled BSPs from A10/D40 and some multiplayer maps such as Launch Bay.

thats what i ment some examples of bungies are the big bridge at the begining tooken from b40.

Is that a bad thing? Borrowing BSPs saves time and still looks great. Would you want Higuy to model everything by hand and never release Lumoria?

No worryz
I iz just another bsp modeler.

I actually BSP model.

I can, but I haven't in a while. I should start again >_>

Have a few problems, will not post in this thread.

I do

I make all my own bsp's minus my first two maps a million years ago before I knew what I was doing.

Occasionally I reuse parts of campaign maps, but they make halo feel like halo so they count lol

I can make square BSPs with balanced sides but I dont release

I guess I would agree with that. I mean if Bungie goes and says "this IS what the inside of the POA looks like or whatever, I wouldn't expect someone to say "um no I think it should look this way". I think that reusing parts of BSPs where they fit is great just so lang as the new map is legitimately new at least in layout.

i can and do and will continue doing untill theres no one left in the community and then ill continue doing so.

I'll come up with ideas, start them, and not finish them until the community is long since gone and dead.

I do. I'm starting a dev just for that. When I get a lot of members we will all vote on the dev team name. I create HUGE bsps and im even thinking on releasing sor eof a open source map where all the tags and scripts are packaged together.

Hey when is UMP coming out, or does that still need more work?

I'm working on learning bsp modeling.

This. Besides, Lumoria's like...99 % done lol.

THe last time I BSP modeled was 2 years ago when I actually had 3Ds Max.

I can but i dont do it cause im not very artistic. that's why i animate and texture.

i can model bsps

I do, but there not that good.

I am making on for an O.D.S.T. Campagin Shhhhhhhhh... dont tell.
