When it's done.

every unfinished project here usually has this as a final or near last post.

Never give up on hope!

thanks for the compliment dark soldier
There will be kinks but I think its a nicely themed looking setting with lots of ways to use the utilize the battle field. I cant decide how the map will be but I'd like to suggest or offer ideas.
My description of the design would be: a bombed human supply drop off base near a forerunner structure.
The only problem I have with this idea,
kinda weird to have a built base so close to a landmark . A wall is weird too since it wont help much from aerial attacks and stuff.( Just for the story of the map since most map are based off of campaign levels, i think all maps should have a story 0:)

reminds me... whatever happened Valhalla?

Map? Progress? PICS?!?!?!?? oH mai gaws is teh projet dead? o.o

look at my post 3 above yours. Told ya.

The location of those tunnels looks pretty good to me. As for where they should come out it'd depend on how large you plan to make your bases. If you'd go for a rather large base that has some walls defending it from vehicles I would let the tunnels come in along a narrow path from the side, actually entering the base. Or let it come out on one of the walls, somewhat similar to H2 Containment!

Sorry for late reply, forgot about this thing.

Doomsayer!

Good idea. I never really knew how or where to place the exits to the tunnels. I was thinking into the upper story of a 2-story base.

SlappyThePirate: "i was going to finish this map, then i took an arrow to the knee..."

That joke sucks.

ive only started hearing that joke today, seeing it already hitting the halomaps forums makes me smile
but if it starts showing up on tumblr that already too viral, and its not fun saying it anymore

anywaysss yeah i believe in slappy that hell complete the majority of his projects!

Ive been lurking threads from November and every single freaking one of them has that line in at least one post, driving me insane.

when is valhalla being released? or did slappy switch projects? :(

slappy might play cyber santa and give us prezzies

I heard santa used to give presents, then he fell off a roof (after being hit by an arrow in the knee) and Scott Calvin became him instead.

Skyrim has the best knee surgery in Tamriel. ;)

Basically this.

So... Valhalla?

Is

Going to be released?

Don't ask me.. ask Santa.
In the meantime I made some desktop backgrounds and here they are-- since I figure this thread hasn't seen any actual pictures in a while.

Since he was operating under the Hasbro initiative, I am pretty sure it would have.

Yes
There goes all my remaining motivation.

balls.

I, personally, think that the bright, vibrant, colors look nice and will stand well against the landscape colors of valhalla. Just my opinion.

Cool slappy, is it made in 3ds max? If it is, then add some normals, specular, and environmental reflections and render it with mental ray or vray :) === awesome background x9001

It's supposed to be cartoony but maybe I'll add shine and stuff.

How did you make colour change in 3ds max?

my favorite way is RGB Multiply on the Diffuse
Aloha, CC, diffuse, all there
RGB Mult
1st slide is Composite; 3 layers
Diff
Primary color change
secondary color change

2nd slot is detail

can you take a picture of the material in max? or should I be downloading meleelite's (ihalo) shader setups and check from there?

Hey wait a minute. Slappy where'd you get the foundry map model and textures? and can i have them please? i would love to make my own map in ce of that with a custom "forge" in it.

i like the colours, i especially like the pic where the chick is about to stab the dood in the butt, reminds me of my misses :S

No, because that would be global... I edited the diffuse maps.


This is my WIP a50 bsp remaster.

Blue - take a look at it/try again, it looks a wee bit unnatural but your almost there.
red x/circle - I have no idea what your doing there/unnatural/error, and or you need to step up the polygons a bit
green - good job, looks pretty nice

And even though the player cant see most of it, clean up that top geometry.

Lets just draw big red Xs over my unfinished stuff.
Give some specific advice if you're going to give it, next time.
Also I think I'm done with this bsp since CMT is probably unwilling to use it.
