I made this map a while back and people I show it too seem to think it is cool, so I figured I'd post it here. This map is not supposed to be well developed, its only to show some special effects Ive been able to create. I have not checked to see if anything similar has been done, but I don't really care.

pretty awesome looking. Great shaders, detail, and water reflect.

Thanks, Im making a full map to be released soon

Can't wait dude. Looks awesome. I assume you haven't finished of course but can you post a overview picture.

Ive already overwritten the map, however you can find more pictures here:

is very awesome looking. One suggestion for that river though. Have another plane that follows the river and is a flow and/or make a plane that shows slightly moving sediment and debris.

LOL. You and I think alike. Ive been working on that today.

The or or the and

Both. Im also working on an animated tree shadow ground texture

Ive already gotten PMs asking me how I did it. Ill make a tutorial when i have time.

Whoa, awesome caustics. I tried doing that once and I could never get them to animate (I wasn't using a animated shader/plane)

Very nice, a billion times better than any of the crap i've put into ce.

Looks like your using alot more realistic textures than halo normaly uses.

Yeah if it's done right halo ce can produce some good looking scenes

If your innovative, and you take your time, the halo game engine can produce very good results. This map is only about 30 mbs

This quote should be stickied to the Forum. Just saying.

agreed

BTW, if you will be in a forest on this map, might I suggest some dead leaves in one of the details for the map? Would break it up really nicely and give it that true forest feeling.

Pretteh! <3

Very Impressed. :D

Purdy...

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I'm glad people are impressed. I got some new stuff for you. This video is meant for listening not for looking. It allows you to hear a difference in the sound of gunfire as distance increases (as in real life). The AI are only there so that I can test the effect, but its still not done. I plan to implement this effect into my new map. Enjoy.

Thanks. Send me requests for what you want me to try.
I should be able to post more pictures soon.

Instead of downloading the link I posted above. Just watch it here:

Cool, though it never really changes, even when you get close..

Here is the last video showing sound effects i have made. It also features some graphical attempts i made a while back (grenade light trail) that aren't that impressive but then again, this video is meant for listening. Like before, it all requires heavy tweaking. Enjoy

wow, clever, u've got some pretty cool effects going there, id like to see more. when do u plan to release ur map?

I can't say really, right now its a one man job. I need to put a team together to be able to make a fully functional map in a reasonable amount of time. Anybody who wants (and has the ability) to give me a hand let me know. Otherwise, any ideas are appreciated.

I'm going to be showing you guys some screenshots of vehicles with multiple independent weapons soon that I have created, which as far as I know is a new idea.


Edited by DAS_G_Lion on Jul 21, 2011 at 08:43 PM

I'd be happy to help, if you maybe explain what type of "job" it is for us to do :P

I can make and texture the bsp, as well as scripting and tagging. But I need people to help me with vehicles, weapons, model animations, aditional scripting, and sky creation. I can model fairly well, however when it comes to skinning weapons and vehicles, I am terrible. I always appreciate ideas and suggestions.

Send me a PM if you want to (and have the skill too) help.

Loving that grass.

You seem to be pretty good at environment shaders and lightmaps... perhaps you can help me with a Halo 3 map later on.

Fixed that for you. :P

No, it's not valhalla.

this is'nt fb but like. I really agree with you haha
Edited by Wesker on Jul 23, 2011 at 04:59 PM

Not 10. Unless bungie releases the code (as if HAHAHAA) This engine is getting more outdated every year.Maybe 2 ot r3years. Maybe 5. NOT 10 though.

Thanks for the compliments everybody. If you are serious about helping me (or if you want help from me) send me a pm or message me on xfire.

Now I need your help. I am trying to attach a biped to a vehicle. But whatever direction the vehicle is facing, the biped is always looking in one direction (along the y-axis of the whole map). Does anybody know why this is? If i can fix it, then i will have a big update for you guys

Maybe you looking into the .biped tag your using will help find the issue.
