If this topic gets locked we will not make another thread or show any updates for a while.

Shut it if you don't have anything productive to say. If you have nothing good to say or anything do not post. Let it die we will revive it when needed.

*asterisks

My post is greatly productive, should I say so myself. May the hen bless your barns with many fertile eggs indeed.

*tries to be productive*

Will there be another boss fight? Maybe one that's not so easy for us to cheat at?

Yes please. And if you ever do an update of the first one ever again make the boss harder better faster stronger.

E: As for this episode's, I hope you have another creative creation in store for us to battle with skillz.

ya'll needs to give this map the epic vehicle battle that halo never had.

damn you bungie and your crappy tip of the spear level, go to war against the covenant my ass!

tee hee

I second this. It needs to be like the huge rush in the opening cutscene.

just an fyi, the first ever encounter test we did for the Lumoria campaign was the biggest vehicle battle out of them all, so we've been working with ideas for it for a long time now and I think now were finally getting somewhere good.

Is it an encounter that's progressive and requires movement or is it a dull encounter where you get in a Hog/Tank and just drive around until all enemy vehicles are destroyed?

And for the vehi encounter, can you add a few sentinels into the mix?

I would so love it if someone made new sentinels...

FOR LUMORIA!

Oh, also, have you checked out the H3 Solitude Phantom for the vehi encounter? It can drop off a few elites or jackals, then come back. Kinda like the part after the bridge and rooms on Episode 1. But harder. Because it has stronger cannon.

And a hornet.

How about more TSFH? I loved it in that trailer.

TSFH is good but not all of their tracks are amazing. IMO, their are plenty of other people out there like TSFH that are as good.

Well he wasn't eating me sooo.....

Then again he never said the nationality of the potatoes.

SO maybe. I do know that BSP's WILL gobble up Russian картофель. (Potatoes.)



Well loooky what I got in my e-mail this morning...

Any news on Geomar?

Soon as some people can tell me when they want to play it and some one can lend me a server to do so, we can beta test it.

Coming Sunday I'm available, my EU server, 16 slot dedicated.
Why not approach ® on this? A lot of members play on Sunday.

It looks amazing.

And Higuy I'm telling you, lemme do some Background radio chatter! Not a main role, just some pilot talk.

I made up some random dialoge lol.
Edited by K_I_D on Aug 1, 2011 at 06:05 PM

Lol, nice dialouge kid. I think we could actually use some of that, but I'd like to see what I gave you first ;)

Also guys, I'm also posting a little... notification =)

When Lumoria: Episode Two hits launch (wont be a for a bit), we will be releasing the final version of Lumoria: Episode One, to create a "complete" version of the campaign. The final version of Lumoria: Episode One has a TON of fixes, updates, and new content in it compared to the last update we did. Here's the list and some screen shots to wet your appetite (tag things will be included in EP2 obviously):

Updates in Lumoria: Episode One:
- Tweaked Shadow vehicle and actor variant (less annoying to fight)
- Tweaked rocket warthog gun (considerably less powerful and reduced AOE, shoots a bit faster, 4 rockets loaded instead of 3)
- Tweaked actor variants
- Added navpoints to dropships in firefight moment to give player a better bearings of the situation
- Added needler drones
- Tweaked encounters (less crowded in first encounter added shooting jackal in second, second also slightly edited, the "badboy jackals" come out sooner + can no longer be seen spawned)
- Overhauled "boss battle" (got rid of the ugly cutscene that gave you a shotgun, made fight more challenging)
- Added detail objects to appropriate BSPs
- New song featured in the final battle
- Several extra bug fixes (shadow falling off cliff preventing progress, skipping encounters by jumping on the bridge in first BSP, a ghost jump inside the tunnels to
the holo panel would force the player to go all the way back regardless of the shortcut)
- Terminals (YES, TERMINALS. See below for more details)
- Dinobirds that explode
- New opening cutscene in space detailing the background story leading up to these events

(Props to Lodex for doing alot of this)

... and more. As always, the map will be completley open sourced with all the tags you need and want for your own maps and modifications.






Like I said in the list above, were adding in Terminals. Yup, Terminals. They background some important stuff about Lumoria and its past, and more specifically, who helped build the forerunner world and run it. (Don't worry, I didn't write them, our writer did! :P)

With all this being said, you are probably wondering when Lumoria: Episode Two is going to come out. The team and I really do not have any clue, but I'm guessing either Christmas time this year, or sometime early next year. There is still quite alot left to do im afraid, and were trying to make this one of the best single player campaigns possible.

Like I said before in my previous post, Geomar is awaiting a couple of things from you guys: WHEN can you guys beta (and who wants too), and WHO can help set up a server for me. (preferably, dedicated. I use to have one but not anymore) Soon as thats established, we can hold a match and test out the map.

Peace out, and see you guys later!

Yea man I hear ya, I just can't get it to sound 100% or even 90% like that so if there is someone else that is better take them!

The map looks great too, a cool song to use for a "This battle is over time to rest for awhile", kind of like the cutscene in reach when they are overlooking the destroyed city would be- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvZI-g8UAI

Also, I mean I'd beta IF you want. I can host too.

How well did you fix it? No need for holo panel, just skip the entire bridge :P

Hth you wont need to worry about the pilot t-posing like that in ep2 for any glitches, I fixed that.

Excuse me, but...

Is it just going to be a multiplayer version of the map? Or are you going to actually put it in the signle player version, Online? Becasue I'm not sure you can do that...

And no beta for me. I wanna keep the surprise in.

Hey Higuy I'm itching to do something for halo and I still have the max files for those drone animations, do you want me to fix them up?

open source in this case I believe means anyone can rip it
Open sauce is a way of compiling with an external program so that you can allow for things such as normals on scenery that isn't available if compiled with regular hek. However to use these benefits you have to have open sauce.
But yeah I believe that they are just going to have its content ripable like the first part was.

Because it's awesome like that.

Because they effectively mean the same, one (sauce) is opening the code to an extent and building on it, which is exactly what open sourced code is for!

The beta is for a multiplayer map, not Lumoria Episode One or Two.



That would be great, sure.
