Man, either you guys are still running debug lightmaps, or the interior lighting of Halo 1 really sucks. The map doesn't have any atmosphere. It's plain and boring looking, afraid to say.

For doing a Halo 3 "quality port", you guys sure chose the wrong map imho.

Also:


You don't believe that yourself do you? He throws a Mantis in a cramped space with almost no space to move :p

Oh the beta testing had so much chaos. It was so fun.
Here's a little clip of me getting smashed by Sali. Lol.

Lmao, you're so easy to piss off.
Halo 1 lightmaps simply look bad, you can't deny that. Even run in full quality, aside from the Godrays, it's just lifeless. And as you say yourself, foundry is a giant repetitious room. The monotone color scheme also adds to the poor atmosphere.

A predictable little cry-baby, that's all you are.
Did you know that Jesse told me he wouldn't shake your hand in real life? Due to your dirty habits such as weed smoking and masterbating in xfire group convos :-)
Think I'm bsing? Hydrogen and Eliteslasher invited me to one such group convo where you were high, and indeed, masterbating. It's hard to take someone such as yourself seriously :P

just saying, this is easily the best part of the map:

loving everything about it, will an OS version be used to include spike, and incendiary grenades?
Edited by SilentJacket on Mar 10, 2013 at 02:05 PM

Masterbating on mic = confidence?
Hell no, that's just inappropriate and dirty...

In french dirty means sale, so perhaps you should rename your account to DSale :-)

Ah,I see.It's okay.I'm not sad or anything,it's just that I'm bored. I have Halo 3 but I don't have a map pack (I don't know what is it called) which has foundry in it.

-Spawn weapons are inconsistent, I'd make it be AR/Pistol or AR/BR all the time.
-Grenades, I'd do what h3 did. Max of 2 per type, and spawn with 2 frags. The fact the map is scenery makes grenades super powerful, as the damage effect passes through any object on the map.
-I THINK I saw a shotgun spawn up by where the brute shot does by the left office/flag room. Not to sure if it was that or if it was dropped in the general craziness.
-Is the health going to regenerate? If not health packs please!
-BR uses older burst firing method, message me about this
-Frag model clips ground and is significantly larger than plasma grenade
-PR screen shake is to much
-Is there a way to improve the forklift so the prongs can lift stuff?
-Pistol was very weak, in h3 its okay since it's dual wielded, here it just sucks. I'd increase the damage so it takes one less headshot to kill for the next build, or replace it with BR for the starting weapon.
-RL lens flare is overly lensflarey and distracting. This is more a personal thing, feel free to ignore it.
-Another personal preference, I'd redo the grenade panel in the HUD to just be frag and plasma and move the placements so it's visually balanced. Right now it's just a cocktease seeing them in the HUD.

All in all, it's a great port, and while I'm not a fan of CE multiplayer, this help my interest far longer than anything else in a long time.

hey, you can't beat free MP services

I moved to CE because I got tired of paying for live

I think Jesse may have mentioned last night night that health does in fact regenerate. The forklift can pick up people. What else is there, other than the wire spool? (does it pick that up? I never tried)
Not too sure whether it should be increased or not. It was very useful to me, however took 5 head shots from across the map on someone that isn't moving.

I'm going to tone down the fog, if affects some objects in a bad way.

BR and pistol need more power.

Heath DOES recharge

Forftt physics are limited because of CE.

I don' like the BR in general

I'll increase the size of weapons in 3p when dropped, reduce frag size

I'll remove the spike and incendiary grenade options from my HUD

I can has?

^slapping on normal maps would be awesome for the scenery too if there is an OS version.

Seems unusually chaotic there.

I'll just play Halo 3 until this gets released.

Did you know we released Foundry in Halo 3? It's really awesome.

Jokes aside


-Upped the shine a tad
-gray scaled the cyborg armor cubemap
-made the visor not look as flat
-fixed bitmap resolution

ahmahgawd

dat visor

could you mute the blue color a bit?

the new gloss makes it look washed out

(keep gloss, just tone down the vibrancy of the blue)

E: maybe mute the reflectiveness of the visor a bit too

Not sure if this has been addressed yet, but going off of screenshots the UNSC symbol on the crates seems to shine through the fog.

It's one of those shader things with halo.

I decided to compare the H3 Spartan with it's counterpart in Halo 3.

Seems that the blue is a bit light.
Maybe a little more saturation?
Edited by Dumb AI on Mar 10, 2013 at 05:55 PM

Make sure no scenery uses shader enviroment shaders because that messes up fog.

Yeah, it just ruins the specular and doesn't look right, which is why I made shader_model versions for tags that use the same texture as the BSP. Warehouse_wall for example is used by the BSP, but also some scenery.
What I did was use the warehouse_wall diffuse on the shader_model, check off alpha testing and use a new multi. It saves tagspace and still looks good.

the pic link is broken

Everything is going according to plan!


By this time next week, I will have taken over halomaps.

Objection!

One simply does not take over Halomaps with a single map.

I like it.

You're taking over Halomaps.

The last 3 steps shouldn't be complete.

Step 4 might be completed (I don't know if you have the money to acquire a restaurant.)

i'm all in for the attack on halo maps.but me and my team have our own means of attacking it muhahahahaha (dennis won't know what hit him).

List of things to fix (some have been fixed)
I just want one place too look at for all the errors.

Foundry has a nuclear bunker :0

Has it been noted that the AR produces no screen shake at all?

[22:18] Jesse: We need to fix the BSP over this week so we can release trailer.
[22:18] Jesse: Rest and release the next next week.
[22:19] Jesse: or
[22:19] Jesse: release both at the same time and have the ending credits say:
[22:19] DSalimander: like a sexual release?
[22:19] Jesse: "out now at your local halomaps website."
[22:19] DSalimander: I see.
[22:19] DSalimander: we need to work on our credits :\
[22:19] Jesse: I'll do it.
[22:19] DSalimander: kai
[22:19] Jesse: credits list:

Yes, we all want to be masterbating, weed-smoking kids with no real self-esteam :p

Weed builds self-esteam. True story too.

ruling the universe builds self-esteem.True story too
