Ok guys, so today (July the 6th, 2011,) I am recieving "Boneyard" from Petera_275. This is now my project, until i finish it, or until i dont finish it. I do have a few tags of my own that i will be using for this.

(Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, Shotgun, Magnum, Plasma Pistol, etc)
and hopefully ill have it done soon. As of rigt now i am downloading the file and will fix open edges and export. It will be fully textured with all the weapons animated. (If Cheddars allows it, I WILL be using his AR and DMR which im animating anyway in this map.)

Ok, images will be arriving soon!

So sad kills_alone gave his BSP to retards.

yeah, and then retards gave it to me.
BTW, this project is
not, i repeat NOT


related to FRMT or HRCEMT.
This is my project alone, except for some help if i need it.

and we care why?

so the guys at FRMT and HRCEMT dont think that this is THEIR map and they get to put FRMT in the credits.

Anyway: I opened up the map. heres a render.

it looks good but cant u post in the semi official wips im tired of seeing threads that are from new members that do not create their own content...

FYI, apart from the BSP, most of the tags will be my own.

The weapons (at least 3/4 of them) Will be made by my friend and I, The vehicles too. Just cuz m join date is in january, doesnt mean im new to CE. So cill. When te map is ingame/ sapien, im gonna be putting a lot of my own content into it.

"...my friend and me," not "I" ;D

So Boneyard is... a recreation, right? But what was the original map? I can't recall a map named Boneyard.

It's a Halo: Reach map.

Dangit, he got here before me. Look at post above.

lol. anyway, until i fix a little exporting error, im gonna have some trouble with this. After i fix it i might update soem textures, re export it, and start working on it.

Ahhh. I remember that now. Been quite a while since I played invasion.

You really know you guys are gonna fail with this...... This was made for u2 vista so theres like over 9000 open edges and god knows what other. I got mine ingame with toolio but every time you step you get exception XDDDDD


And who you calling retards Spartan 279? I put effort into frmt and actually made things other than leaking members and hrcemt

In the end I'm gonna model bsp without using hieghtmaps and like you should and use this bsp as a reference

I dont think that if I HAVE to absolutely remodel it, that I will do it. It's not worth THAT much.

But i'll figure it out. I already had a problem though.

BSP credit goes to StatutorytrOy.

Cheddars, I'm sorry but, when you sent that map to me a while ago, it had no open edges whatsoever.

Dude get xfire and I will help

i remember a thread were killsalone mentioned only 6 open edges and hunter had offered to fix it.
i guess no one asked him at that time.

I THINK, i'm not 100% sure. But I think your error is a material ID a face dosnt have according to your mat id libary. Idk what to call it.

Use the face tool, polygon, whatever, and select all faces with ID 1, then hide. 2, then hide, etc, until you find the face(s) that dont have the right libary assigned to them.

Cheddars, give it to me and I'll fix.

K but I'm eating hot dog now >.< I'll give later

I finally fixed it. I now have the .jms file ready exported for those who want it. Just an FYI here, we were never retards, folks. In case you didn't notice, the only reason HRCEMT was crap is because we did nothing. Too disorganised, just a mismatch group of people some of whom were illiterate. I'm sorry I was over-eager, and I'm sorry that I couldn't get the team to order once I'd sorted things out, but don't you dare judge us. People take things to the community so that they can contribute. You must understand, we may have been idiots, I especially. As you should know from experience, there is nothing that can't be rectified from a mistakei f it has been established as possible, and possibly even with things unestablished. I talked with some veteran members on xfire who had a similar point of view when they first joined. Now, let's be honest, when I can clearly see things philosophically as well as through my own two eyes, and I can take amusement from writing long speeches or essays, does that make me a retard? True, my skill is not in mapping, but in writing. In the imagination of the mind expressed through the beauty of the English language. I try, I fail, I get back up. So what? Everybody has their flaws, and even a year of little progress but still large contributions textually to the community leaves me satisfied. We, sir, are no retards. Be careful with your words. We are those who have been disillusioned and in turn have been met with further disillusionment. I see clearly now, and will start afresh. HRCEMT? No more.
FRMT continues to produce sufficient quality content, and, as you must know, even though it is often forgotten, this is a non-profit site. While there may be places for criticism, there is still the element of fun to be remembered. Enjoy yourselves. Live good lives and in turn help others live good ones too. The results will be surprising. I ask you not to follow my words, but to follow what you believe is truly best.

Live long and prosper.

TL;DR

anyway, upload and gimme link. im gonna be out today.

Looks like someone grew up.
