I agree

Very vey nice bsp :D Looks great and clean ! I have many ideas now to make environement for my "the floods" project ^^

yeah i don't like it either :/ the truth is that i'm running out of ideas for the structures, i was improvising when i made this, idk guys should i make something different? now that i look at it it looks meh lol

Halo 2 Forerunner stone structure? I think that COULD fit in well.

Now that I think of it, I think it will. Try it.

u mean a delta halo/regret-like structure?
hmm i guess that would be gr8!

Nah :\

Imo, you should try to use some almost identical forerunner textures from the level The Covenant in Halo 3. If you were able to find some, I think they'd look fantastic. Delta Halo stone textures wouldn't really fit with the type of environment you have there.

well, i can make the textures, i can do something good if i take my time, i will think about that, and about the structure, well i will post some pics of it in a moment and you decide

~edit~

ok here it is, basic shape, needs more details:




Is this ok? if it is tell me what should i add...

~EDIT~
I've been busy so i haven't make any change in this model but well since no one said anything in the last 2 days i think i'm gonna stick to this model, updates will be here soon...

~UPDATES~

i changed a bit the mapping of blue base:




The new red base! (rly hope u like it )



I think i'm gonna find a better texture for the floor

and i think i'm finally done with the bsp, its time to add some vehicles, weapons, and everything else lol, thx 4 ur help
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 5, 2012 at 02:56 PM

i see you kept having to edit this last post, as no one has bumped it for you.

Bump. :)

It's looking okay now, but what I'm really not liking is the lighting. I know it isn't final lighting. But it looks so unrealistic at the moment, as there are no shadows or dark areas. And do NOT use 100% white, tint the sun colour yelowish

That's actually a pretty awesome red base :)

Aye!

@anon
yeah i know

as i said in an older post, i want to use aether to iluminate the map, and, if for some reason i don't get the result i want, i will try the make the lighting as good as i can with the default halo radiosity

Oh, and i'm glad you like the new base
oh and i want some help with a script i made, its about vehicles, all the vehicles in my map are in the globals list, however i added the c_storage in vehicle form and they are not part of the globals which means that i have to use scripts, i do know how to respawn sync vehicle respawn, i learned from maps other maps and the script maker program, however i dont want to use that method, instead i made this:
1.- the first vehicle spawn point is isolated in an area where no one can reach (vehicles that are not in global list respawn i 1st respawn point)
2.- put a trigger volume around it
3.- made this script (it seems to work ingame, however i'm not rly sure of it will sync online with other players around)
will it work?

(script startup boxes
(begin
(object_create_anew box1)
(object_create_anew box2)
(object_create_anew box3)
(object_create_anew box4)
(object_create_anew box5)
(object_create_anew uplink1)
)
)

(script continuous respawn
(begin
(if (= (volume_test_object volume box1) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew box1)
)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object volume box2) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew box2)
)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object volume box3) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew box3)
)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object volume box4) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew box4)
)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object volume box5) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew box5)
)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object volume uplink1) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew uplink1)
)
)
)
)

Much, MUCH more appealing.


I would like something to be added to the bottom, for it stioll seems off, but much better than your previous version. You, my good sir, have the howl of approval.

AAAPPPPROOOOOOOOVED!

perhaps something like this in front of the base?

But...what would it be?

Somehow lacking, anyway. Don't bother with it; if yout hink up something really cool to make it look even more epic, put it in. For now, keep continuing with your map.

i think i know what to do to the structure so i will post more pics with the changes i make on it ok?

Now... about the script above, no one said anything, i want to know if that will make those boxes sync online, some help with it would be great...

Oh and i want to know how was the map "revelations" protected, i want to protect my maps in the same way plz
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 6, 2012 at 08:47 PM

Meh. I think it'd be pretty interesting to have. Maybe use as cover or something? Block warthogs from entering inside base?

~updates~

hope you like it
is the lighting good?

You should try scaling down your detail objects as they look a bit blurry and too large imo.
Scaling can be done in the tag itself (not sure where it's located but I'm sure you'll find it :p)

Holy Dooley that is awesome.
Very very nice.

Very nice. But the cliff textures seem like they're a little stretched to me..

err... not rly, it's just the FOV that i changed it... oh and the angle of the pics
oh and i added mountains to the skybox


everyone ignored this before so i'm reposting it...


Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 7, 2012 at 04:00 AM

looks very nice

help with the script in my previous post would be appreciated

oh and i added islands to the skybox



made grass smaller

Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 7, 2012 at 07:20 PM

Why have a scenery object as a vehicle in the first place?

they can move that way, like in CMT maps
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 7, 2012 at 09:13 PM

Adding physics maybe?

Also, add some trees to those distant islands. Use the timberland ones.

Detail objects look nice now :)
And I for one am not ignoring your script question, I simply have zero experience in making MP scripts so wouldn't want to give you false information.

Ok i added trees to the island in the distance


Now, i need some help with this, i made shield doors for red base, you can walk through them. Bullets CAN'T get through from the outside BUT they can from inside, which is helpful when there are enemies outside your base like snipers, but idk whether or not to add them because that would make some players camp inside the base, even enemies in team games, should i add them or keep the base as it is now?
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 9, 2012 at 06:57 PM

I think the shields should deflect projectiles from all sides, but allow players to pass through at will.

well i allowed projectiles to get through the shield from inside because the design of red base, makes camping and spawn killing easier to blue team, but i think you're right, because red team would stay inside the base camping so it would be pretty much the same thing, i will make the surfaces deflect projectiles from both sides if more ppl agree thanks Echo oh and players can pass through both sides whether they deflect bullets or not
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 9, 2012 at 07:28 PM

@ your script

Just make it so that the crates are vehicles, not scenery. They will sync and you wont have to deal with scripts. You can rip them from the map TM Immolate.

i already have the vehicle tags, i just want to know if that script will sync the crates online, i dont want to add them to the global list
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 10, 2012 at 02:53 AM

actually, yes they are pretty close but i think you're right, also, i think i will add another island, this time with a building, not sure tho, glad you like the map
Edited by ChBgt909 on Feb 10, 2012 at 01:26 PM

Very nice sky tag, I like altogether how this is turning out. How did you make the islands in the sky tag/model? Basically, how did you make it so it's not see through. I remember a while ago I tryed making a sky tag and gad the issue with the offshore islands beeing see through
