Has anyone found the room with red carpet floors and selings that has a grunt and Brandon in it?

The mod is still a load of fun; I've loaded my own tags into it (most of which are still needing balancing) and it was still oodles of fun. The only consistent issue I've had is framerate (it's a performance issue on my part), but I think I have a solution for people that have low-grade PCs like myself. There is this one section where you go into the interior of the level in the Rocket Hog (after the Wraith) and there is great FPS from the point where you reach some Covy Crates with a couple of Covies around them to the point where you leave after lighting the light bridge.

Point being that TM should divide the BSPs up one more notch so that performance is consistent and that it generally loads with decent FPS as you proceed. It would require a bit more of script work (kind of how Halo 2 did it with the Loading points), but I think it would be a good idea to divide the BSPs up just a bit more.

Is that a joke?

Quite frankly I think we used to many bsps. The reason your probably having performance issues is becuase you have a low grade pc. Turn down your settings then. Another issue is that alot of the area isn't really portatled correctly I don't think (since I don't really know how to do it that great)

If TM used more bsp's than they did, I'm not sure the map would have compiled...

I added in some h2 weapons and bipeds in it. I'll do the effects and the vehicles tomorrow,
LAZY DUDE R LAZY

Mmmmm tasty.

It's funny and disturbing. But more likely disturbing.

The sentinels are in there for a reason which we will probably find out in ep 2. Also if I remember correctly, they left the map unprotected so you could rip tags from it and find out how they made it.

I'm pretty sure the sentinels were there simply as a defense against intruders, since Lumoria is a Forerunner planet.

the covenant did know about the forerunners and halos before the Halo1 slipspace jump.
Remember during Halo Reach, where Halsey talks about the zealot squads? How there were rumors about them going through the scientists, that they were sent in to retrieve ancient data from the humans. (ancient data = forerunner shiz) and that they were always sent in threes.

and during the opening cinematic of Halo2, where awkhtcjf/arbiter was being questioned by the prophets. They mention about the slipspace jump & questioned him if he was "blinded by its divine etc.."
They know about the Halo's. But without any reclaimer's etc.. It was practically worthless since they couldnt operate it.

I can probably check Halowiki/pedia and see what other people say about it. Which is probably more accurate than me, but that would require me using my brain constructively... I dont like doing that.

Another added proof and nerd fact for anybody in disbelief.
Another covenant-human conflict over forerunner shiz(as sierra so kindly phrases it:) that started early in the war similar to the Lumoria storyline was the battle with the crew of the Spirit of Fire and an earlier awkhtcjf/arbiter:) and his fleet after the 2nd Harvest Campaign and 1st Battle of Arcadia. The end result was the first human-contact with the flood, human ship drifting in space and the covenant totally destroyed:p.

Check Halopedian for dates if u want or you can play Halo Wars for fun:)

So Lumoria storyline is pretty much correct with Forerunner, dates, etc.

I just played the map, and I have to say, that this level is one of the best, if not the best custom SinglePlayer that has been created. It is good to see that you reused a lot of content from the original campaign and put commendable effort into designing AI encounters and the BSP to how Bungie did it in the original campaign.

Aside from the usual minor problems with cutscenes, I had an interesting problem when playing this level for the first time. The music loop that begins in the room with the sleeping grunts (b40_06, I believe from looking at the scripts), failed to stop and continued on until the end of the level. Check the trigger for the sound_looping_stop.

The map is unprotected for a reason, have fun!

I have a few problems:

~sound wont play, everything is on, other maps have sound
~The part where you open the bridge==auto death
~The ODST should be in the hog, and they should get out and walk to the bridge with you.

It's a fan story. Who cares whether or not it's 100% in line with the books/games?

Fanboys.

while were on the topic of improving weapons i must say the standard halo 1 pistol sucks

but the CMT mpv1 grove one is better




I mean i know you guys want it classic but make new shaders,bitmaps,details,cubemaps/reflections

the pistol from cmt grove is the orignal model new bitmap and anims

reach had forunner stuff on it, yes a forerunner crystal thing and something else...

they didnt discover any forunner planets/rings after that, that i am correctly sure is incorrect, after the events on Reach, they dicovered planet onyx holding forunner facilities, and Delta Halo was discovered in Halo2, the Ark and portal in halo3.

how about you get your facts right LOL LOL.... Well they are right mostly according to bungie(and ensemble) and some of it off the novels. Sorry i am a halo history nerd at times, but lets not start some sort of fanboy war.

On a last note to clear any bogglings: when i said the covenant totally destroyed, i meant just the fleet led by the earlier arbiter, but i am not totally sure about this.

yeah, because the Ark, Delta Halo & Alpha Halo wasnt forerunner and had no significant aspect to the story at all..
ahh, yes I completely forgot Halo Wars.. Silly me, ive played at least 5days of gameplay on it with friends, you'd think i would remember that. -.- mind you, its has been confirmed that Halo Wars was 100% cannon. Regardless of what it contradicts with the books.

how about you get your facts right LOL

I think the cmt pistol would be more attractive if it actually did some real damage.

mpv1 pistol did alot of damage comapred to g3 pistol

1st, thank you sierra for noting that. But.
Who knew the day would come when I would forget to mention or remember events of Halo1(alpha halo) on a HCE forum site?

No!!!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDD:

aZn9ja commited suicide. Ugh! *drop/spills a bunch of flaming cookies*

oo! cookies! nom nom nom

Do you even know what Halo is? The Covenant religion was long based on the Forerunners. And the city High Charity ran of the power from the Forerunner Dreadnought. AND the object the covenant were after on Sigma Octanous IV had the coordinates to Installation 4. Covenant were very well aware of the Forerunners.

Agreed. They didn't even say Lumoria was in canon (or did they?).

orly

anyways who cares if it's correct in the halo storyline....it's not like some professional paid developer made lumoria and it's believable so I don't care.

Oh god, you people are so....weird. Obviously this isn't a Bungie production, and anything fanmade can't be perfect. I can say that this perfectly contradicts the canon because the strange vehicle outside the forerunner complex does not exist in canon, or the Covenant don't have a Plasma like beam, or a three-layered Elite handheld shield. I can say this contradicts the canon because a single white-armored Ultra Elite would never be in command of such a huge force (including three elites which appear to be Zealots). There can never be anything that is tailored entirely to the canon, so you all should stop arguing.

And the elite shield is also in the old halo e3 trailer, its in the structure that the marines go into. They are ambushed by a few elites, and one of them has the shield and sword.

Makes Sense....
Why were there no gold elites? i was hoping that the one with the sword on the bridge would be, but they did say they changed it for a reason.. a reason i cannot remember.
