Just select one and it will start you at the point in the map. No need to play the whole map if all you want to do is play the gunner warthog part

For Example

-Doesn't require OS
-Not a new map

Player starts on the map with no weapon. Each 'Rally Point' has it's own section in the script. So instead of the map just being one huge bulk of scripts, it's just split up into sections. I've been using this internally for development to skip around wherever I wanted, but Mooseguy made a nice UI so everyone can use it to skip around.

Once a section of a map's scripts finish, they load the next rally point anyway.

(script dormant rally_point_bravo
;blahblah
(wake rally_point_charlie)
)

(script startup rally_point_alpha
;blahblah
(wake rally_point_bravo)
)

To use skipping through the UI, it will load a special scripts

(script dormant cheat_to_bravo
;script stuff here that A. Selects Players Loadout; B. ect other stuff to catch the player up
(wake rally_point_bravo)
)

It only appears when you start up the game. If you really want to load it again mid-game; just restart the map

(map_name takedown_projectlawson)

;map loads

UI then appears

Select whatever. Play

Also good news. Remember the warthog gunner run shown in CE3 2011? Well I just set up a system that gives the hogrun three 'checkpoints'. Pretty much if for somewhatever reason out of my control the warthog crashes, the game will (eventually) realize this and without reverting to the last checkpoint (cause I figured it'd probably just crash again), the game will re-start the warthog run from the closest 'checkpoint' I made.

I hear this map is close to being done

Map is 50% completed final (like 50% is final-well unless things change in beta). 3 Rally Points done. 3 to go.

Release is in Summer 2013. I'm trying to hit a certain date ;) I'm sure you all can guess what date that is.

If you played the beta and have a mic can you say a 1-liner about Takedown so I can put it into a vidoc?

I can also confirm that there will only be less than 2 .map files
Edited by MatthewDratt on Mar 9, 2013 at 11:37 PM

Is that certain date my birthday? Hurrrrrr.... But it looks like its going to be good considering how nice (but short) introduction was.

The tone for Project Lawson is a complete 180 to The Introduction. TD:Intro was dark and mysterious. TD:PL is bright and not-so-mysterious lol but still some mysterys here and there

Maybe you should say "give me pics please :'( "

I am more interested in the environment that we'll be playing in.

Edited by Dumb AI on Mar 10, 2013 at 05:53 PM

why do you want more pics of the bipeds?they are nothing new really,they can be found on many other maps.

merry christmas

do the shields move?

Wave 2 of beta tests is coming.

This is privately selected; but if you feel like you deserve a beta let me know and you might just get one..... if I know you well

Anyway:
Delta - To people who haven't gotten a beta before
Echo - People who have gotten a beta before
Full Map - HAHAHA You're not getting this

Mmmmm....betas. I'll take the full map pls.

Also the map may not have to be split into 2 .maps after all.

After yanking on some of zteam's animations I found a lot of useless ones that I removed and it helped reduce a lot. Meaning I might not need an OS version after all. (Now be happy)

Good news people, my sexy voice is still in this.

Oh yeah, BUMP for Matthew Dratt

1 year ago I created this thread....

It is time I close it until the map is ready to be release. Have the last and final screenshot dump until release









Please xfire/pm me if you want to do voice acting (matthewdratt via xfire)

______

Takedown: Project Lawson is a single player map based off the an extended version of the Danger Canyon bsp, as well as some custom BSP. It features complete cinematics as well as a variety of gameplay situations. You (Karner) and your partner Kadar infiltrate a rouge Spartan's organization. This rouge spartan (Lawson) thinks you are joining his organization. As such you are sent on a mission with him. Get inside this forerunner structure and find what Lawson is so eager for inside. The estimated playtime for this map is about 30-50 minutes.

This will come in one handy download (takedown_projectlawson.map).

You will be able to download Takedown: Project Lawson from the Halo CE3 website on July 13th at 5:15pm EDT. The halomaps link will follow the next update after July 13th.

I could still always use voice actors! Please contact me if you can voice!!!

Do you want me to voice someone other than the new recruit?

I'd like to get as many other people in as possible before I have to resort to reusing actors, but I might need you again

also I got bored. Click Here For Full Sized

Of course, you're gonna review it right? I've seen all your reviews, they're hilarious!
I like the one with the Reach Airlock firefight and the godly DMR.

Ah, that's better, thanks man.
Guess what, Matt?!!?
THE MAYANS FORESAW THE DMR ON HR FIREFIGHT AIRLOCK!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GhMaScZjX8

so , Takedown Project Lawson will create its game ?

it is looks good background , but the project Lawson still be released in the halo CE ?

Will that unrigged brute be in the mod or is he there for decoration

what?



it is rigged



what?

It's altheros, ignore him.

And that first guy actually thinks (based on your box art) that it's gonna be released as a standalone game.

Then I shall mod Mr. Lawson so that he bears rouge-colored armor!
That way he CAN be a rouge spartan.


:D

If only I saved all of the files so I could edit that... oh wait, I did.

Fixed

sorry friends, I'm asking too much, I will not ask again until you're finished with your project, but I will advise on "project lawson" campaign in order to be better
