I believe a bit of patience wouldn't hurt :) go on dwood, do your magic on the map until it's ok :)

Agreed never releasae a map if you can make it better.



Like Higuy and Lumoria

I was on on my b-day. But it was at like 1 am. And it turns out that my /family/ stuff turned out to be my b-day gone, a trip up to some town in the mountains to work cement (aka cleaning equipment because it's been 5 years since i've done that kind of work and all I did was get in the way of the guys) and sleep the night at an Inn on Flaming Gorge, and today spent Fishing for Macks aka lake trout (which failed) and later going for Bass and Rainbow trout with a guide for 6 hours, catching so many Rainbow I couldn't believe it. Then after we took a tour of the Flaming Gorge Dam, which is filling up with water and they can't let any more out without flooding people.

If any of you are in the area go up to the dam in the next 2/3 weeks, that thing's gonna be spilling over the top because they can't let the water out fast enough...

Well, I did some searching on this error and all I could find on Halo Maps about it was this:

I found a bug, and a solution! Not that anyone will ever need it, but...
Importing an exported scenario.txt crashed guerilla, with an "EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#2419: group_tag==NONE || tag_group_get(group_tag)"
I found that it crashed when it read a netgame flag with a "wpcl" weapon group tag reference from bloodgulch's red flag. Changing "wpcl" to "itmc" fixes it.

That's all I can find on it, but I'll do some more searching, let me know if this helps.

mooseman, get back on board with dwood for one last 'hurrah' n get this thing done.

Patience people, patience :)

Also, I still have time but it means I have to delay my other projects in order to push this one forward.

This one seems closer to the finishing point and someone else is depending on you to finish it for them, so I would suggest finishing this one instead of working on other projects.

Please :)

Hell yes. C'mon Dwood! You can finish it!

Yeah, I can, but really I don't want to very much any more... I'm run out of steam, but the map (edit:NOT GAME) sure is playable at this point! I mean, all that's gotta be done is throw in that credits pic, fix final cutscene and we'd have b40 firefight-descent version..

Edit:

With powerups that people use by pressing flashlight button.

I'm going to get what I can done, and afterwards hand the map off to Mooseguy to decide if he wants me to send it to anyone or release. There's a few bugs that I don't mind, that don't ruin gameplay (such as ammo meters) but lower the amount of polish a bit.

I'm apprehensive about handing the map off to someone else because they may have a different vision of how the mechanics should Descent work than I do, and if they try to make drastic changes to the mechanics, I fear the gameplay will be ruined.

Thus, if it were to be handed off to anyone I would want it to be for bugfixes and wave composition only, nothing else. Anyway, I'm going to put a limit from here on out that will not be changed. If I can't finish the map by Thursday night, i'm either releasing or giving to someone else.

a few of us are wondering what's happening with it, passed on, still being worked, problems with it?

sad face

Our baby cannot be put through an abortion!
I believe in your birthing powers! The contractions are coming! I can feel it!
Oh wow, I think my water just broke. 0_0

I'm just gonna sit here patiently and wait for the map to come out :) regardless of delays. but still, if this dies, then :'(

Hate to sound like L0d3x, but he's right. C'mon Dwood... Alotta people were waiting for this for a real long time now. You can't give up.

Like L0d3x said, you need to finish it. If you cant even finish it (doubt it was actually a terrible amount of work...), give it to someone who actually knows how to mange their time and do things efficiently and decently.

And you still wonder why you're targetted by trolls.

He spelled "decently" correctly. You spelled it as if it were the word "descent" as in going down.

targeted by trolls lmao, thats funny right there.

Oh, HAHA!, how very clever! Good thing you brought that up, I never would have gotten it. :P

i get it but it's stupid. not many people would have figured it out.

i dont get it ??

mooseman get back onto the project, u've had ur holiday.....or give it to higuy to finish?

Seconded^^

Thirded

My spirit still wafts by these forums to speak from the beyond.
There's no way I'd even have the ability to finish it, since I no longer have the tools or the memory for halo-related affairs.
And yes, this topic is descent indeed.

>:(

Oh well, this is just perfect. Another thing to be buried into the abyss of forgot projects.

indeed a sad fate but look there always people who volunteer to pick up projects such as this or sandtrap
if no one picks it up there wasnt much interest in it in the first place
keep your spirits up guys

Look it at it, just a little more, and this will be out.

Firefight Descent :D XD
