Anyway, back on topic. Please take a look at that pic and tell me what you think

PS was playing Reach just now and realized that in the mision 'New Alexandria' at the part you enter the night club to shut down the jammer, the bsp is exactly the same as Crater in odst

wait, you JUST noticed?

@Muscl3r, i liked the BSP. it looks like it could be good with a combination of rooftops and driving and groundpounding.

cool thanks

Could one of the bsp guys willing to do this contact me on the pm's so i can give them a detailed outline of what the bsp needs to be like

ok awesome.

The ground needs to be a sandy texture and the buildings just two story high sandstone huts.

The third building along at the start needs to have an interior and an entrance to the inside because you'll be going into that building and down to the street level (possibly just a big hole in the roof and through the top level floor).

The buildings in the sniper alley could be 3 stories tall and maybe a bit damaged (if not, thats ok)

The next building you enter also needs to be two stories tall, same with the adjacent one. Make sure there is a wall on the adjacent buidling forcing the player to exit the rooftop on the right (where the marines are)

thats all for now...hope you can understand it all

Okay cheef, heres some pics

What I mean by a two story building:



What i mean by the rooftop with the wall (where u jump down to the marines then secure the hog)



And could you put some of these things on the rooftops for cover??




E: All the buildings in the sniper alley need to be 3 stories high and the two story buildings need to be a bit higher than what they would be nowadays

I SHALL BE THE MAP POPULATOR PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE

Map populating is so easy, yet many do it very very wrong.

cheef, make the buildings that you go into more detailed than the others. But still put some detail on the other buildings too

ok well forget about that then, just add some good bitmaps to all the buildings. Make sure they are good bitmaps for buildings tho. it would suck to see them as just square blocks of sand

Hmm, characters...

Duck, Rickey, Mutch, Homeo, Rare and the Cookie? Totally not respelling bungie's odst's ahem

A brief idea for the story, this level would be set near the start of the campaign and the dude is trying to get to the real fight in the city centre but he's landed in the outskirts.

The story for the whole campaign, i dunno yet



I thought of a story for the delta halo campaign. Cheef aint gonna like this...

You never find out what happens to Jun (ami I right?) so how about:

The human forces assaulting delta halo find intel referring to a high value prisoner, a spartan. This spartan is Jun and throughout the campaign you are trying to rescue him. Near the end you succeed in rescuing him but he his killed saving the frigate or some shiz

Thoughts?

Thanks Dave.
For the names I think we should use more military-like names instead of jason and michael if you know what I mean.

Heres some pics I drew up of that harbour mission. I haven't got round to putting them into powerpoint yet and putting arrows and descriptions in.



Start at the yellow dot with an odst squad mate then go down the stairs to a squad of marines. Fight round through to the final area which is the base of a large building with stairs that go up around it.

Once you clear that area, a cutscene starts and basically the marines say there was a sniper team sent up those stairs then your squadmate tells you to go to the sniping position. Some covvies engage the marines and squad mate says he will go round a different way (or some shiz)



You reach the sniper position (top left corner) and find the dead squad of marines. You see a platoon of covenant blow up one of the civvie transports (marked green). You then use the sniper to take out the platoon of covvies going for the second one then go to the right, down the stairs. Note that the sniper position is elevated and theres about a 20 metre drop to where the covenant platoon is



You go down the stairs and see a ghost firing at something around the corner then a rocket flys past and blows it up. Your squad mate emerges with a rocket launcher. You jump on a mongoose (marked yellow, btw ignore the other yellow splodge) with the squad mate on the back. Drive round into the large area then kill everything in there (ghosts, shade turrets, choppers?). Once everything is dead the blocking shield will deactivate (the purple line) then drive round to the lighter area, which is the entrance to where the platoon was you just sniped


Well thats it so far


Update on city firefight

Since motivation has risen after a scientific breakthrough with the lives script (just about got it working), I have resumed work on the project. I got rid of the massive crane that can be seen in the background because something was up with its lighting so now theres less lag. Gonna use cmt's shotty until i find a better one. Got a better wraith that the ai can actually fire properly (looks really cool), fixed the cutscene, need a ghost with sounds that arent corrupt....and uh thats that


Edited by Muscl3r on Apr 15, 2011 at 09:49 PM

almost everything i've extracted from that goddam map is corrupt. Jesse is making an odst hud and i just need the pistol from tactical assault. I'll talk to d4rfnader

Ok will do.

Any feedback/thoughts on the harbour mission?

And any thoughts for a storyline and characters?

WAIT!! i have millions of halo 3 tags and halo 3 ODST bipeds! here is a screen shot of the Biped!

We'll set it in a variety of different places in the city, for example outskirts and harbours, cbd's etc.
Ground looks good too btw


Dave

that building looks perfect for the building where you first exit down to the street. Send to mastur cheef when you are done.



I got an odst biped from modacity but it is designed for ai and has the marine animations. How do I give him the cyborg animations (grenade throwing, getting rid of stumbling when you get hit)

sexy. I will try it now

I like the idea of the bumps in the street btw

I'm giving muscl3r my mongooses with decals for this project (you might have seen them in the slappy updates thread) when done.Muscl3r wanted a better mongoose earlier so I made one :D

Edit:before it said sloppy updates thread but meant slappy but my ipo corrected it lol.I wasnt making a rude name for it lol
Edited by Cheddars on Apr 17, 2011 at 06:48 AM

Thanks Cheddars

and thanks Dave, feel free to but in whenever.

Squirrel mob 4 life!1!!1

Cheef, jump on xfire

Just thought of some epicness shiz to go with the mongoose...

In the harbour mission when your squad mate appears with a rocket launcher....

instead...

we should give him....




dual rocket launchers!
Edited by Muscl3r on Apr 17, 2011 at 05:59 AM

dual spartan lasers then?

A flamethrower reticule and hud would be handy too...jesse....

The bitmaps are in his release. You just have to tag it.

Do you have something against portals? It's been a long while since i'v talked to him about it, but last i remember DA_Ender's Genocide map and his Contamination are both of 100k polys, just in the BSP (as i said, i'm not SURE about Contamination, but i know for a fact Genocide was.), and Contamination works fine (Genocides issues don't have anything to do with the poly count/portals, as far as i remember.). Just figured i'd say something, no point in not, right?

Got the bottom visor done. Next is the top visor, then the health portions.

Looking good jesse. Cant wait until its done

new page ftw


Edited by Muscl3r on Apr 17, 2011 at 04:21 PM

Are you really even asking that question? Stamina has the same exact function as shields, and halo 1 already has a health system.

Just remove the shield shader from the biped, change the shield drain and low\empty sounds and done.

O_o 6k polys would be epic lag lol

Good to see this project is really taking off!

We still need some characters though.

I've come up with some character names

Mike, Sarge, Jack and Vance (need one more)

Once we have the fifth we can start assigning personalities to them

Sarge is the squad leader btw


Order of missions:

1. ---
2. outskirts mission
3. harbour mission
4. ---
5. ---
6. ---
7. ---
8. ---
9. ---
10. ---

As you can see, we also need more ideas for missions.
We must be creative while thinking of these missions to make our campaign creative. Also keep in mind that there should be a variety of different combat for example, hog missions, tank missions, banshee missions, sniper missions, ground combat etc

please anyone, put forward some ideas

Nice progress

I need someone to edit chronopolis.

Cheef could you do it?

Lol he was giving you guys a thumbs up

Done a massive tag update on city firefight and as soon as i find out how to get rid of this retarded visor crack and health regen i might upload another beta to halomaps. Cheef, how did that odst turn out? Did you fix it? I'm trying to get the link off qwerty so i can send it you untampered.

what do you mean by a map with all ripped stuff in it?

I will send you the odst as soon as qwerty sends me the link

Could you also download chronopolis c3 public beta and cut it up?

got it
