Has it occurred to you that maybe I don't particularly want the base to be filled with multi colours?
There are plenty of examples where Forerunner was a mix of silver, grey and blue lighting such as the sentinel wall.
Just because this construct doesn't fit to the Halo 3 standard of brown and khaki metals in every corner doesn't mean it's deviating from the Forerunner stereotype.
I'm willing to take advices and tip's but I'm not going to pander to everything down to exactly which color mixture I use.
In the cryengine build I plan on having some marker flares which will break up the monotonous grey.

You can sit here posting about areas where bungie didn't put much effort forward to justify you doing the same, and making everything the same boring gray, with splashes of blue, or you can improve it. The choice is your's.

any plan of releasing the Actual model soon? or are you still trying to build further up on it

Also SeL, it may have been Bungie's lazyness, but not everybody who looks at the map will scrutenize every little detail of each object. only mappers and play testers do that. along with that, the lighting and detaling system of crysis is very different than that of halo, so the way it looks will be very different

It's a small room, it doesn't need any more than 3 colors in the color palette.
If the room was larger then I would agree to use more varying colors but it's not and it's currently fitting the scheme I've aimed for.
There are some UV errors that require fixing but that is as far as it's going.
As for the model being released, I plan on releasing this on Crymod forums first which will be back up anywhere between tomorrow and Friday.
They are currently doing maintenance so now it's down to when they re-open.

Or, you can let him make his work how he wants to make it.
PERSONALLY, i think it looks awesome. i would use that in maps in a heart beat.
if you dont like it, you dont have to use it.

Seriously, dude, PLEASE get that into CE, especially with the lighting. :D

You know, problem is, Crysis has one insane kind of lighting system. Halo wont ever be able to handle it. You can mimmic it to a certain point (which hopefully is whats gonna be happening), but you cant get an exact replica.



Whenever you get that released, please, PLEASE give me that link, would love to use it in a map

Crymod still hasn't reopened so once it has I'll let everyone here know.
Whilst I've been waiting I've started on something else.
This currently has no UV's as the model is still incomplete how ever, the idea should be easy to understand.

You know, technically you could simply release the model of that base on the 3D Model section of halomaps. You'll eventually have somebody (maybe and most likely me) pick up that model, use it in a map, or even take it in as scenery and release the tags. You can simply have alternatives you know.

As for that new structure, are you aiming to have it similar to the tunnels from that tunnel in forge world? or is it a base of some sort. Which is it?

Also, i'm all up for cool forerunner stuff and lighting effects, but for posting this on the halomaps forums, is any of this halo friendly? a Map's BSP can have at max, 80,000 polys, and thats pushing the envelope into a mailbox that it does NOT need to be in, especially if you're wasting 50% of it on a pair of bases.

Are those Electrical feilds running through the inside of the doors? 0.o

ras, ur pics look awesome, i hope u have some more to show us soon.
sel, ras doesnt need to create things to our expectations, we need to be grateful that he has decided to share his creations with us. ur a perfectionist sel, relax a lil :)

Yes those fields are embedded into the doors, they also flicker and fade as well as stopping bullets but letting players pass.

Can those work in CE? :o

kk, i understand what you're trying to say Ras. Though, my statement stands: Will this be released after you get it up on crymod or what?

well this thread went quiet all of a sudden, whats crackin ras?

Good for him. After my exams are over, I am never busy with real life . Mind you, I still do my own chores.

I would imagine the ground is cracking right about now, whilst it's being glassed and all.

OH LOL ITS YOU

I should have guessed as much when you totally disregarded feedback hahahah

Kind of anti-climatic knowing who I was.

i dont get it who is he.

Someone who Selentic has made a habit of hounding due to his intolerance on our disagreements.
Nothing more, Nothing less.

Wrong, you're an idiot who ignores any feedback that is actually legitimately telling you what you're doing wrong, so you can just bask in the comfort of people who don't know what they're talking about saying it's the best thing they've ever seen.

nice try though!
Edited by SeL on May 18, 2011 at 10:13 AM

Incorrect.
Considering there are plenty of people on Crymod who know far more about game development than yourself I would imagine listening to them would be far more worthy than listening to a egotistical intolerant fanatic whose sole belief is their opinion is the only one there is.
Nice try, but no cigar.

Smoking is bad for your health.

Isn't Lodex the guy that ripped the halo 3 elite bipeds and cause a troll fest because he...rip? Yea, didn't see any point of that discussion. If I remember correctly, that's where Sergent Johnson posted his first comic which will later lead to his ban.

Funny, since I read that thread, and the one person actually giving you negative feedback instead of telling you it looked amazing was called a troll by you and a bunch of other people and eventually forced out of the thread by you and your idiot paparazzi.
:)

no

Funny, because I wasn't aware the forum thread was the only form of communication on Crymod.
Private messages, Instant messaging and E-mails are used as well.
My point stands firm, to pretend that you have higher qualified and better suited at giving advice on a forum filled with real developers on the engine creators own public website is far fetched at best and delusional at worst.

Anyone who thinks your garbage is good isn't a professional game designer, regardless of whether they hold that title or not.

I hope I cleared this up for you.

i dont think anyone here is a professional game designer.

Sel made trains and does a lot of level design, albeit his comment about professional game designing is rather blunt.

He makes a lot of level designs for a 7 year old game, The people at Crymod are making designs for a 3 year old game which an engine which was unparalleled for years in terms of technology held withing said engine.
The Cryengine isn't the only engine I've worked on, the difference is I kept what I made for personal use AKA LAN and private servers.



That has got to be the most ignorant comment to have come from your narrow tunneled mind yet.
So a professional developer that has a recognized position is apparently not because an amateur on a fan forum for a 7 year old game says so?
Seriously get over yourself.
I'm happy for you in that you managed to sell your trains to Valve for TF2 and all but don't let it go to your head.
There is a difference between constructive advice and malicious spite, thus far all you have done is the latter and barely of the former.
I'd suggest you avoid this thread from now on lest this discussion derails further but we both know you cannot tolerate not getting the last word in.

i'm pretty sure crymod isn't full of professional game designers if they were praising halo 3 rips and conversions not to long ago

I'm pretty sure as soon as the rips were known about the member was banned for said rip.
In fact, the forum has a policy of not showcasing work not your own or risk penalty.
