Yeah basically what i did with those pictures is took no fog and added a little less fog then some fog had, like maybe 3/4 of the amount, and added a transparent blue overlay. This is how it would look in game though. But look at the rock walls surrounding the map, See the detail that the second picture doesn't have?, That's how, i think, this map Should look.

pics look great slappy, personally i like clear maps with contrast so id go with somewhere between 'nofog' and 'somefog', in 'morefog' the colours look too dull.

amazing work mate, congrats :)

That's what i just said -_-.....

Leave the man be.

Okay. I won't speak again, it is his map after all :/

lol i can't believe you called me like that again, what's your problem? lol... anyway, as i said before, i dont have an xbox so i used pics and vids to make my map, it was just for fun, i didnt even know about this forum months ago... your map looks good, you are taking your time to make it, it only took 2 months (2-3 hours A WEEK) to make my map, and i rly don't care if yours looks better, im good using 3ds max but i'm not that good using some features of the game, and also, the fact that u are calling me herpaderp (again) is something i dislike, keep the good job, but plz respect other ppl's work, ok?
~edit~
btw, if i can help you in any way, you can ask me if you want, i may be new in this forum, but i'm good ok? ;D i'm being polite...

Please use a better nickname. Bungie Fan just seems more like a title than a username.

Holy balls of plasma.

looks beast :D.looks so much better than it was before when I first gave you the wraith

That wraith looks awesome, but the sky is lacking the actual "ark" details and the environment is pretty bland in that picture, most notably the cliffs.

Leave it to Higuy to carp on what's not the focus of the picture...

Leave it to Higuy to point out what needs more attention in the map.

Physics aren't the best, because it's a scenery-vehicle, but at least they roll and tip.

I tried a script to get the player to push them into the cannon-flame area by standing near them, but I don't the effect+damage effect scripted to spawn on the side of the coils are being created.

wtf the wraith shaders look different.

smexy

whats the plasma ball firing range like? do u have to point the reticle vertically up into the sky for the ball to go more than a few feet?

I hope it's a bit more accurate than the original wraiths...

I fixed the camera so you don't have to fire it up so high, but you so have to fire it pretty high. I'm going to take a look at the fuel rod's tags and use its values instead of the normal wraith values.

That BSP needs some LOVE, all the models with the halo 3 quality shaders are making the BSP look )':

I think i can help bake lightmaps.

Ooh that would be cool.
Could you bake me some cookies as well? I'm starving!

Sorry, baking cookies is highly classified.

lol

sweet, sounds good!

Awesomeness more progress :D

Well, the wraith firing does seem a bit odd. I took a picture to show aiming height and distance:

Anyone know off the top of their head how far the mortars are supposed to go in Halo 3? Right now you can arch it over the hill, firing from the river in front of each base into the river in the front of the other base.
Are the mortars supposed to be able to bombard into the other base from in front of yours? I like how it is now, where it can't quite make it from one base right into another, because then people can't bombard your base in CTF-- that's what made death island annoying.

I'll check, lemme load up Halo 3.


The wraith CAN shoot from its spawn all the way to the other base. I shot from the spawn and the plasma ball managed to hit the base spire around the middle.

Wow. Alright, changing it then.
I also tried out having the secondary plasma gun on the wraith under driver control. It seems kinda pointless, like the stock scorpion's machine gun. And the wraith mortars can fire much closer to the wraith itself than the scorpion could. However, I'll leave it in, since you don't have to use it if you don't want to and it's not vital to combat. Just like the scorpion.

I'm writing up the credits list. This might take an hour or so since so many people did so many things.


I have the credits list somewhat done, but it has no real organization to it yet.

Author: Community

Description: This is a map

Credits will be arranged by tag creation since so many people worked on one thing over time.

Where am I on the list? And I thought we were using my shaders for the masterchief biped :/

So wait we're almost done here then!?
Can we haz some final pics of various areas? I promise I won't have any crit that would involve work. I just want to see a few final pics of this epicness before it's released.

Yeah we are, my bad it's just that I was sort of writing this for sandtrap and thought we'd edit it to fit valhalla since they use mostly the same tags. I'll fix that.

My version. Basically the changes are these are not the people's models, Qwerty did the biped, I got rid of the entries for things not in the map, turret was by me and I made new frags with Broke's bitmaps.
I dunno how much of the grenade work (bitmaps, models) were by Bungie. If it was Halo 3's model, bitmaps, or particle bitmaps, then I'll remove the "Bungie," from all the entries and just say that all the models were by them.
Note: Sorry, Bourrin, I guess I'm not using your shee anymore.
