I was once a noob. I tried getting my tagset folder to work, but tool would never compile bloodgulch because it was gey. (It was cause I didn't extract bitmaps)

Tell me about your noob experience, how you deleted your tagsets in a rage and reinstalled HEK all over again because your tags were 'messed up' and wouldn't compile. Or how tool always gave you errors, even though you swore you had all the tag files downloaded in your maps folder D:

Or how you could snipe people with the pistol.

Or the first time you changed a sniper rifles projectile to a deadly plasma grenade and sniped grunts in the campaign to watch them run around.

Hi guy is a good example of change. He was once a super noob (it's hard to believe someone could be that way)

But now look at him! He and his team created Lumoria! Quite a change if you ask me :o


Show me your first bloodgulch release. Your first AI map. Do it!

My first map... Luigi Raceway mod http://www.xfire.com/videos/235f4d
I remember how long it took me to get my first bsp working because i never added sky material right lol

I started with Gmax modeling and never got excited over modding stock maps.... So I modded other people'z maps instead when I was a wee mapper.

I still haven't ever released something 100% my own...

But my first map was this piece of bacon ---> http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6299

But I made that after a year of experience with this engine. But my first MIP (mungaloyd in progress) was in a thread... Never got that far.

I was only ever interested in AI maps, but those tuts only gave you .actor_variants without the biped and crud.
Plus, "Overwrite existings tags" XD

My last -> http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=1&sid=41

Yeah, I remember when I use to be a noob. Then I took some knowledge to the brain.

I don't see a difference... :/




just kidding, there there... Love you!

MMT higuy lmao

The awkward moment when you realize that none of the ratings on this website actually mean anything.

I remember being a noob. I still am at most things. I decided to focus mainly on looks than implementation so I never really learned the finer points in tagging or ANYTHING about scripting. Though I have worked on many MANY uncompleted models and textures. with only 1 Map and a un LOD'd weapon release to my name which Shade 117 pro didn't seem to get his credit for for the plasma and configuring the affects that went with the nade. Is it possible to change that Dennis since I am the original author and just want an addendum to the credit?

My only map http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5642

My first halomaps thread: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=18559

My first map: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4815

The awkward moment when you forget that those ratings for lumoria look pretty accurate.

I posted almost everyday since I signed up so it's kind of hard to remember how I was.

It's only been year or two since I joined.

Then we started ripping zteams tags. Good times. The pinnacle of my noobness.

I've always been a very negative person, and that made my earlier posts very annoying. If I felt bad about how simple something was when I release, I would make my post completely negative, and it would make other people feel bad. Now a days, I make sure my posts look acceptably happy, even when I'm hunting someone down lol ( << Gotta love the use of 'lol' to make yourself look less srs. You can say something completely rude, and then toss "*shrug* lol" and its all better. I would never even contemplate laughing out loud, yet I still use it almost all the time.)

I bet you came into this modding world already knowing everything :o

2003 - got halo pc

2004- found out about halo ce by looking for h2 mods for halo pc and did modding for halo pc

2005- played halo ce and modded halo pc (couldent figure out how to use HEK because sapein kept crashing at start)

2006 - finally figured out sapien, released a map called "Gulch 3" and made first map with 3ds max called Snow Rush

2006- early 2007 - did the madness sp series

2006-2009 - misc projects, delta halo, did a lot of porting and left CE with the release of Wet Dunes

2012 - returned and working on a serious project.

I was without a doubt the worst one (of this thread) when I started here.

Leaked H3mt map and caused some chaos:

I've come a long way. I still haven't really released any maps though.

I remember my noob days. I cant believe that i actually wanted to release this:

Looking at that thread makes me facepalm

How do you guys find your first posts?

K, gimme a sec. These noobs in MW2 need an ass kicking.

Oh God.

http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=14239

Funny thing is, some guy on youtube tried to impersonate me as the map creator. I wouldn't mind today though, this makes me cringe.

I used search by user on halomaps and put in the join date to (join date + 6 months) and went from there.

But.. we learned so much about guerilla and tag work

That we did :o

Man, haloceripper times :P

I remember when my boy "Goldy830" was a noob.

Luckily I took him under my wing, and now he makes mighty fine mods / maps for his events.

Another great improvement over time. :)

Yes well I too remember the time you were a noob. I did have to engage in quite a bit of mentoring; it sounds preposterous I know, but there was a time when you needed assistance. Truthfully, I know I made the right choice in mentoring you. :-)

I have screenshots of the site. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6240433/hcer.png


I admit..this way my noobiest times ever
Edited by MatthewDratt on Apr 28, 2013 at 06:46 PM

wat.

Explain this one to me.

How well has your spelling and grammar improved since you've met me Nickster5000? :-)

Not very much, because it was originally good. If you're trying to imply that you mentored me in my spelling/grammar, you're wrong.

**Slides knight piece into place**
Edited by Nickster5000 on Apr 28, 2013 at 06:58 PM

Well, since you've met me, you've stopped using phrases such as "prey" when you're talking about it in the religious form, as well as "familulr" and "ellaborate".. whatever the hell those are. So my dear Nickster5000 I do believe I've made the final move.

Queen takes Rook; Checkmate. :-)

And how does this contribute to being a noob? More importantly, how does it contribute to the thread?

Checkmate.

Not to mention the fact that you ran multiple xfire instances so you could be on both accounts at once.

It contributes in the fact that we're reminiscing about the times we, or should I say you, were a noob; is that or is that not a part of the topic at hand? Nickster5000 I do wish you'd stop using "Checkmate" unless you knew for a fact you had won.
