Please don't.

The omnipotent and immortal Mooose wishes against such actions, as they will lead to a chain of events that will inevitably cause your obliteration.

As always, stay cool Halomaps! And keep pumping out ponies, rainbows, and maps.

I miss my donuts :(

It does indeed look like a reticle.
Those are rough draughts?
I like the 1st one better, but i do not like the colour or sharp corners.

Erm dwood, maybe you should explain what your "reticule"/"crosshair" ui is?

Six. Count my vote for it :p

1st one for me.

yeah i vote the first one cause i was part of making it. lol. and also because the second one i don't think would be a very good pause menu anyway. yeah the font did need changing and i think the font that is just above me is much better.

Am I late for the party?

OMG that logo looks very terrifying. It reminds of killer shushies! I'm serious. Those things once killed by uncle's cat's uncle with brainfreeze!

Roflmao that was the funniest thing that happened to me today. Sorry about that but would you mind if I leave my post as it is?

I wasn't aware that there was a mob making this map.

The purple makes it feel like a silly "cute-purply-pink bunnies are running around" while the player shoots grunts map. Make it like a fiery red and orange. Something that fits the tone of the map more.

I don't think the purple font goes with the purple lighting of this map

Yes, purple indeed. What is your point that you are trying to prove?

You do know that he realizes the map is purple, right? I also think that purple on purple is worse than... maybe the same light blue as the hud?

Yes, go with something other than purple or green.

That logo looks pretty bad honestly, use a different text and design.

:/
And regardless, if it's going to be purple, make it darker purple?

For the logo to work, you will have to remove the white part and give it a glowing plasma material. I also recommend that you use a dark, misty background. That way, the words will really stand out. Here is a little something as inspiration.

All that bsp is missing is oompa loompa's

Making the lightmaps with aether would be cool.

Yes, making the lightmaps with Aether would be really cool.

YeeeahNo. I like my sexy lightmap. Hey, where's mah update??

As an update, I have done a lot of work on the map. You just can't see it, because Mooseguy already did 90% of the things which are visual and can be screenshotted. In the interest of time I may cut a few things that I consider minor from the to-do list, as they would take more time than I have to spend on the subject.

As well as a few features relating to the loadouts. If people can think of any powerups we can do that are outside of the halo 3/odst/ Halo Reach powerups I'd be glad to add them to the list.

The grav lift won't be happening unless someone can send me one that actually works. Jesse had one, but it failed pretty hard apparently. So far we have the bubble shield and trip mine- there's room for 2 more.

By "powerups" do you mean pickups like Active Camo and Overshields, equipment like in Halo 3, or armor abilities like in Halo: Reach? Or would any of these be acceptable?

Ammo (Appearance: Green Powerup)
Replenishes ammo for current weapons.

Immunity (Appearance: Gold Powerup)
Temporary invincibility. Attacks are negated, albeit with a slight penalty to movement.

Sidearm (Appearance: Glowing M6C Pistol)
Adds an M6C magnum sidearm to your current inventory for use as a last resort weapon.

small airstrike marker??

Oooh I'll have to remember that one. Good idea.

Also... Just refactored a ton of the scripts after losing an entire day's work. It's not going to be as awesome as i'd like it to be but i've spent a ridiculous amount of time working on the map and testing it.

I also figured out what features i'm going to include in the map to make it awesome.

feature like...

I'm not going to mention details of features that have yet to be implemented yet.

less talk, more eye candy

It will be, I promised i'll release by then... at this rate everything should be ready in time.

I've also discovered some awesome new techniques with scripting to help keep up performance, as well as how to use different script variable types. If any of you guys read my scripting tutorial I was completely right, when I said the way you return something from a script is to leave a variable "unhandled" - allowing me to create interesting new functions that i'm sure no one's seen nor done before in ce.

The firefight scripts will be released with the map, as well as my version of haloscript for notepad++.

Now there's a few bugs in the map as of current: certain ai get stuck behind certain barriers, and some ai get stuck in crevices and things like that... If someone knows how to set points on all ai in a squad//encounter to tell the player where they are on hud, that'd be swell if you told me how to do that lol.

'Set points'.. you mean nav points, for remaining (stuck) ai?
