Idk, elites would be cool, why not make it for sandbox or another h3 map?

I like how the grass looks but I'm gonna need some tips on how the grass, ferns, thistles, and flowers are distributed on the map.

please make that grass smaller and denser. atm it dosent look realistic at all...

I mean accurate to how it is in halo 3. Right now I'm just kinda sprinkling the positions on, putting fern near the water and flowers away from the water.

But lets try stuff out shall we...

^from sapien


And I forget the key+mouse combination for removing a single detail object...

Lots of grass mostly everywhere except for the area near the wall and rocky area's, and flowers sprinkled here and there (more in certain concentrated area's).

Also sapien

I'm just worried about how many detail objects are on screen at one time. Does that add to lag, and doesn't sapien crash sometimes, when too many are in one area?

Less flowers, and take out the weeds/ferns(whatever they are.)

Take out those tall looking flower thingys or lessen them in the map.

Obviously a comedian.

I dunno, but just get out anyway.

Yes it was, considering you haven't looked through the entire thread, so of course.

Plants- realistically would probably grow in the shaded parts of the map where they aren't exposed to full sunlight all day, so where those 3 trees are near the pelican for example. The open areas will look a bit odd with short lawn style grass with weeds sticking up. It's safe to assume that the reason that the lawn is so short in the open areas is because it's so rocky and theres not much topsoil.

And don't the plants kinda disappear n stuff when u walk around?

And I still recommend removing the grass from around and inside the pelican, it kinda looks like the pelican crashed there years ago and grounds-keeper Willy has been weed-whacking and mowing the grass to make a nice grassy entrance to the back of the pelican.

Concerning detail objects, in guerilla you can set something like a fade-in and fade-out distance.
Be sure not to set them too high, since then they will "pop" in rather than "fade" in. Experiment a bit.

Also in guerilla you can adjust the scale, judging by yours I recommend scaling yours down by about a factor of 2 to 3 since they look a bit blurry as they are currently. Other than that they look pretty cool to me.

Fade-in, fade-out sounds nice, me likes

Yeah the plants are smaller now, and I took out basically all of the flower things (dunno what I was thinking placing so many in the middle of nowhere...)

You know, I guess you can put a little of those flower thingys around the trees, just a suggestion, probably'll increase the tag size though.

Not by much, so sure. I think in halo 3 ther are only near the rocks and trees anyway.

is it possible to attach a group of scenery together to become one tag rather than a bunch?

Actually, yeah. I could put multiple plants into one model tag, so placing one scenery would look like several models...

Don't overdo it though.

I'd rather keep it as detail objcets becuase its what its for, detail ofjbecst.

Couldn't post in Mangenkyo's h3ui thread because I was the last person to post in there, so I'll just leave this here.
Ignore the sky, it's valhalla's for now.

I wasn't gonna post this beecause I wanted it to be kind of a suprose... but I realized that's pointless and you guys probably have suggestions.
People have suggested more structures, and more spots for close combat. Valid points-- I haven't made the bases yet.
I need ideas for this... liek what kind of base to use or what it should look like and stuff like that.

edit: oops no pic! derp

It's interesting to say the least, reminds me of a map i made a long time ago. I like the structures, but not the terrain. You could really flesh out alot of it. Is it a cliffhanger also?

Seriously? I thought the structures were the crap part.
Thanks, but that's not really a suggestion. You're not even saying what's bad about the terrain. What was your map called if it was released, and do you think it was better than this is so far?

I like the cliffs.

The cliffs are extremely blocky and unnatural looking, like Valhalla.

The map that I thought was similar was never released.

I find it looks really cool. Maybe include a small tunnel between the outer bases and the central area to give infantry a decent option of walking.

Read through the whole thread again for the lulz.

Also, you might wanna work on the contrail of the beam being emitted from the base.
Instead of the stock Halo 1 contrail, do some thine similar to what appears coming out of Blue base here:

^ Sure, shouldn't be too hard at all.
@higuy: Still haven't made a suggestion yet have you :P
@lodex: Like here?:

... where do you think the tunnels should come out? Idk if it should be below or in the upper story of a base, considering how hard it would be to capture a flag?

i was thinking, to have more spots for cover so there isnt as much base ray ping going on

i didnt add a tree but if you can image it somewhere or in place of where there is already something

so the circular items are just medium to large size rocks, and the boxes are supply crates. the crates on the far left are like weapon cases on top of table-use like cases. added turrets for 2 sides. broken wall.

adding some grass would add nice detail to the map's own feel, id like to see the grass be used from your halo 3 ui

i think that an alternative route should follow through about half way across the map, route openings being too close to each other, would make puppy guarding be easier for a route opening from one or another end of the map, so try to make some kind of cover so that a player can learn to use it to check for clear
