Okay, i'll send you the tags you wanted soon, i'm just having some trouble with getting the system exact.

Vehicles. Added scorpion, gauss and chaingun warthog. All vehicle's shaders have been modified. Mongoose's and Falcon's physics have been edited. Credit for warthogs goes to Bourrin.
Weapons. Added spartan laser, assault rifle was replaced with reach one. Some weapons have minor modifications. Credit for spartan laser goes to Bourrin.
Biped. Biped has been changed to epic Bourrin's reach spartan.
Mines. Mines were changed to halo 3 ones. Credit goes to Grunt Eater.

Are you going to switch FP arms?
If you want to switch them,here are the standard Reach FP arms.

Released by 6thLoneWolf.

(Not sure if you are already using them)

yes i am using reach fp arms.

wen can you get on the test server? I have something to show you about the falcon.

give me 30 min to upload to server etc.

I like the first two pics, but based off this one the map is still screaming for more scenery and cover in the main playing field. I suggest sprinkling "gigantic" and "large" boulders about, along with some trees. Also consider using the object_scale script to make the trees larger and more of a landmark.

I don't think object_set_scale is going to affect the collision though.

Scenery and bsp are still going to be changed. For now:

No need to release the stuff I put in it , okay ? I'll do it.

Like the dude's gonna listen. Here come the [REACH] maps...

Have you tested this?
I used this in Lumoria and I didn't notice any collision issues. It would also seem trivial to increase collision geometry if it goes through the effort of increasing the more complex mesh scale.

Yeah, I tried it on some doors when working on a SP map. The old collision stayed the same. That was on a device machine though. Who knows?

Either way, if the tree is scaled up and a slightly smaller collision box gives no issues, it's worth using.

omg... i will make new models for trees. Also server is up Y U NO JOIN!!!!

I joined; love the updates, especially the new Falcon physics (thank you)! :D
(Now, if only the bullet counters for the BR and AR could be changed.. I guess that'll be changed in the final release?)

The only problem I noticed is that the grass details near the crashed Albatross were floating above the ground. Last time I checked, grass doesn't float. P:


EDIT -there were more places like this. This floating patch is on the hills right outside Blue Base, towards the Albatross with the tank (and the sniper hand rigging should be changed... The left thumb's kinda bent..)


EDIT 2 -found another patch of floating grass, this time in a hill towards the Blue side from the Gauss Albatross. I'm pretty sure this is the last patch.

I want to do that trip across the map again.

For the sake of being complete, just posting my thoughts on some balance issues:
- The Falcon's armor should be improved so it can't so easily be taken down by small-arms fire, currently people can just mow you down when you fly over them, even with just the battle rifle.
- The Scorption could do with a similar upgrade, aside from that I would use the single player variant that has the closed canopy. Else again you can just very easily be shot out from very large distances. Along with this, I really recommend placing more higher, wavy hills + big scenery rocks and trees for cover in the next update. It's important towards testing the balance and gameplay.
- I think the Gauss sniper is a bit overpowered, although super fun to use. I'd consider increasing its respawn time significantly, as well as perhaps moving it outside of the main bases. Perhaps the spartan laser could be replaced with 1 Gauss rifle.

Just my 50 cents.

Soo.. map still cant be downoaded with hac2 :(

About floating grass, I had to readd all the grass after it disapeared by changing weather pallette and i didnt really have time to fix all the floating grass errors. If you find more of them, please post again showing a place where it is.

Im still not sure what i will do with the falcon. For scorpion i had an idea of making it controllable by 2 people: driver and gunner and make it have more armor. Weapon spawns are going to be changed after i make some new scenery. HUD is also going to be changed after i deal with bsp and other stuff.

And if you are columbian/mexican, please dont use my tags for making more blood gulch mods. There were already couple of them telling me how they will rip these tags to use them in blood gulch and yoyorast island mods -.-

Me too, our camping trip was fun :D


Alright, can do. Could you post an overhead map or something of your map?
I think it might be easier if I write on that, instead of taking screenshots every single time.

EDIT: I found the exact opposite problem (no grass at all) around the hills behind Blue Base, too.

If anyone'd like to screw around or have sniper showdowns on this map with me, please try to get a hold of me on Xfire.

I didnt add grass all over the map. And now i think that fixing grass wouldnt be a very good idea since bsp is going to be edited :\

My xfire is altis94 if anyone wants to add me.

Yeah... :/ good luck re-doing it, then..

Also, the new Reach FP arms are going through the BR in the reload animation..
It'd be great if you could fix that too... thank you!

The BR is likely to be changed to original one with 3 bullet burst. Not sure if that will fix the issue tho.

does anyone have the 1.71 version I need it because when I installed open sauce 3.1 is say I was missing it whenever I try to load halo.

Edited by Spark on Jan 20, 2013 at 10:28 PM

it's linked to mediafire on the previous page.
http://www.mediafire.com/?k46ia9xik7gdttj 1.7.1

I just reinstalled halo,turns out os3.1 removed about 20 maps some that were not replaceable because they were old builds of my test maps.its all good now though I have 3.1 installed fine now but I suggest that you always backup your maps folder before installing cause this also happened to one of my friends.

Nothing happened on my PC.

No maps were mysteriously missing after I installed OS.

Btcc22 doesnt respond to my messages for some reason so there is no way i can make it downloadable by myself. For now just use mediafire link.

Maybe those errors with missing maps have something to do with maps downloaded using hac2?
Edited by altis94 on Jan 21, 2013 at 05:58 AM

I replied and said I'd get the map up when I get a chance (probably tonight).

Thanks. Sorry i thought you forgot to do this, my bad.

You can now download this map using OpenSauce 3.1's Map Download system.

Wow, you really hate them. Oh well, me too ... RIP Firefight Airlock.

By the way, very good map!

I just hate maps that use stupid, dangerous characters in the filename like %,^,&,*,{,or [.
It's annoying and makes me think that a simple map installation could corrupt my files or something like that.

Just played on this map, and I have to say it looks great. The actual map looks reminds me of DayZ style maps. The falcon is smooth, and the weapons look good. (The AR could use a better recticule though). Looking forward to see how this map goes.

A little late there bro, btc22's system works like a charm already, and it saves you the burden of loading up the rest of OS' performance heavy features.
