The maps listed above were ALL made with Sketchup Pro 6 and exported as .3ds models then imported into 3DSMax8 where texturing and final tweaks took place (including fixing some errors).

That's believable: They all look out of place.

Did you know that their is an halo ce map were you play as a time trialing elite rideing on a hoverboard (dmt-air)?

Did you know that SAPP can't run at the same time as OS 3.1 unless it is located in a folder other than the normal Halo CE root directory.

What do you mean 'out of place'? If you mean they don't conform to the expected architectural style of the so-called 'Halo Universe' then that's cool, because that's exactly what I was aiming for and that's the beauty of Custom Edition - You can create whatever you want.

@ Dsalimander - glad you liked it and I am working on a new map. It has been designed so that ALL gametypes including the race gametype are FUN and there is not one single structure that has been ripped out of another map.

Did you know that the .vehicle tag can only accept 8 attachments?

Did you know that vehicle can have only 4 widgets? :(

Did you know that IT IS in fact possible to contain fog within a cluster? Ex.: two identical rooms, same Z coordinates, fog filling half of one room while the adjacent room has no fog at all? But you need the unlocked guerilla... Don't know about two different fog types, though.

To remove fog from a cluster, open the BSP in unlocked guerilla, scroll to 'cluster properties,' find the cluster you want to remove the fog from, and in the field next to 'fog' enter -1.

not halo, but oh well

did you know that the model for Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks remarkably like J.C. Denton from Deus Ex when the hair mesh is removed?

what a shame.

Did you know that i've been searching for the Adam Jensen 3D model for an incredibly long time?

I can has pl0x?

Does that mean we can make 3D clouds ?

send a PM my way, lest I forget.

If you've ever wondered how to create terrain textures that were only shiny in certain spots. Did you know that it could be done by using the base map's alpha while in "blended base specular" mode.

Things to note about it though:
--The secondary detail map will be seen primarily in the darks of the base map alpha
--The primary detail map will be seen primarily in the whites of the base map alpha
--(also a Did you Know): When using cubemap in "bumped cubemap" mode, the specular map can be used to make bump mapping appear without needing dynamic lights.

EDIT> This uses a terrain texture set to "blended base specular" mode.
It's using the alpha of the base map as the specular.
It uses a bump map.
It uses a cubemap set to "bumped cubemap"


A shader_environment that is set up like this could potentially be used to represent wet materials in a rainy-weather map. It can also be used for Delta-halo themed maps with semi-rusted architecture.

hyper bump

did you know that, in halo 2, the arbiter had an elite skull carving on his larger shoulder plate? it was removed in halo 3.
did you know that the orange glowy bits on the elites will dim depending on their shield levels? they would become dark grey when they have no shields, and would glow bright orange when they have full shields.


did you know that the phantoms in halo 2 could be ridden?

Did you know that their is an object attach script function that allows seperate objects to be "glued together" Example, marine holding glowing batons, chief holding cortanas chip, caption keys holding his pipe. And did you know that you can attach objects to vehicles such as halo 3 frigate attached to an banshee to give the illusion that the frigate is an vehicle? And did you know you cant pliot the vehicle unless your character is spawned in the vehicles seat, same with ai. And did you know that collision geometry only works for the second object specifyed in the object attach script?

Did you know that Half-Life 3 will never be released?
I know everything about it...

Did you know someone should make a halo map where you battle on a huge piece of bacon?

Did you know I enjoy your sarcasm?

Mmm, sarcasm. Delicious.

you know I hear fried ai chips are good to...

Did you know the first-person put-away animation is indeed used in the game?
It is not a cut weapon transition animation like most have come to think. its the animation used when you are in a first-person vehicle.

Make your file a .jmm. The animation will play and stop on the last keyframe and use that last key frame as the "idle" animation.

With this you can make a very convincing sprint function similar to halo 4 or reach. Just make the put away the running animation, and make sure to have your script eject your biped after the time of the animation.
(you need to load the player into another biped, making sure the seat in that biped denies usage of weapons)

your welcome.

all buildings would be made of bacon. all weapons would be made of bacon. pretty much everything made out of bacon.
