I like it. Thought i do have a question. Has anyone ever thought of taking a full panoramic from the middle of the map and piecing it together in an image editing software then switching it over to sepia to make it so that when you look into it you can see the map reflecting in it, the visor i mean. It would make the map a ton more realistic looking, i think, if you did that

The cubemap would be static, as in anywhere you are, even in a building, the reflection of the map would still show. Its better with a normal cubemap like it has now.

Maybe your right for this map. But what about an all outdoor map? It wouldn't be exactly right but i think it would make a nice addition. And also in the original halo PC b30(the silent choreographer) in the security override room if you look down you can see yourself is this a script or what?, and can it be added to other objects like a visor?,

Scripts have absolutely nothing to do with it. It's a mirror shader on the floor. It can only be done for BSPs.

this isthe first time ive seen graphics looking this good outside from cmt(original? the spv2 one )
is this the first time anyone has used bumps maps??

even with bumps the hayabusa armor looks weird you should darken up the bumps

slappy, youre becoming one of my favorite mappers >w< this project is gonna be glorified when its done

Slappy told me to delete it, I just privated it.

Grunts, we have halo 3 bitmaps, but thanks.
The "fresh coat of paint" is how it looks in halo 3. We want them to look nice, and accurate. Grimey might be acceptable in single player, but that's not the look we're going for here.
The base, however, could use some grime.
Qwerty's been working on the spartan color change, detail, and diffuse for a long time to get the desired results. I think we have reached them. Even if spartan094 wanted to give us shaders, it would be really late to do so.

Red VS Blue Shaders



I ain't using any detail bumps anymore.

Later, I'm gonna try to upload a video on youtube of the masterchief lights that glow and change colors according to your team color, easy stuff, but also pretty good looking in my opinion.

Makes it look too smooth...

It looks almost like the exact same without detail bumps now that I created new shaders for it today in the morning.

Besides, detail bumps give the spartan weird smoothings on the bitmaps.

It looks alot better, however they are rather lacking in detail.

Explain.

XlzQwerty1. My commendations. You have done an AMAZING job on the shaders for both the base and the armor. Very nice. -claps-

Hey slappy, check out this thread, might really help with the water especially, as well as some of the ground maps.

K, will check it out. Speaking of which, it totally slipped my mind to work on the river. D'oh!
BSP to do:
-Add stream overlay
-Make river deeper

Make it vary in some spots. Maybe deep when it's wide and shallow when it's narrow.

Looking good man. How well Do/Don't those man canons work?

The last version I had (Alpha)-They worked rather well.

From what I recall, the river had mostly the same depth all around, and deep enough to fit say 1.5 times a 343 guilty spark.

All I know is it's too shallow now and should be about half a warthog's hull height deep.

Spartans look great!

All of this made my... penis hard. HAD TO SAY IT!

Those spartans look sick. Not plastic-like at all imo.

So uh... if anyone reading this knows how to get past the 'couldn't add/create new animation tag' error in tool...

Amazing

MOAR GRIFBALL!

No.

Yes, but not now. I've got mancannons on my mind.

Hey Dude Inferno made some mancannons a while back on his mappack that Sync online and work pretty well...

When he was damaged by the fire, the damage arrows didn't appear. Obviously, he had removed them because his man cannons uses damage effects. Those grav lifts aren't any different from the current ones.

Well, I finished the cannons yesterday, and we tested them. The alpha had a bug where people would get stuck in the cycle of the cannon.
So yeah... guess it's on to tag work again.

Oh my god, Don't remind me, I got stuck twice and the 2nd time, you couldn't see me.

Custom sky, yeah.

How does change where the sun is? Just moving the marker in max?
Edited by SlappyThePirate on Jul 26, 2011 at 10:35 AM

Move the marker, yeah. I've heard weird things sometimes that it wont move.

Looks nice though.
