Because thats a really inefficient and bad way of doing things.

Not sure if you've ever noticed either, but generally when you have collision_models, stuff like grenade damage travels through them. They are also sometimes pretty wierd and lagging, causing players to warp on servers.

Other problem is shadows (unless your going to use Aether.)

If he wanted to he could just make it a separate floating object. What he did now is extremely efficient and works well.



This is the only downside to them, giving them really wierd errors. A few of the barriers in my map Aquarii follow these rules and one of them has a strange error where you can shoot at the floor next to it (small space) and the bullets/grenades travel right through.

Don't float the pieces, jamb them into the bsp, it can fix some of your falling errors.

This looks so good dude, looking forward to the final product.

Jesse, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past month. Check your messages. If you are ignoring us on purpose then I guess you'll ignore this too.

@Jesse: What is your poly cap going to be? (maximum amount of polies you have set as a marker for the BSP)

Sooooooo how's thos project doing?

Bigass is around 50k for now, I think it started having issues at 40k Altis knows this better than I do

50K????

Im pretty sure gearbox say you shouldn't go over 30k with BSP's.

Or maybe that is 50k with all 3rd party objects included, bipeds, weapons, scenery, vehicles.

Bigass has around 40k now actually. And you can have much more if you make good portals.

Oh, and objects don't count, or else I would have over 400k in Bigass. sorry for talkin bout bigass dun kill meh

Wait was bigass conceived with the aid of open sauce?

Or just regular hek?

Regular HEK. I don't see what OS has to do with this :I I can't even install OS HEK stuff because that installer sux

@Altis94: I get the impression that everyone uses OS now. Nice to see I haven't been left behind......yet.

Yeah OS installer is buggy, at one point I couldn't even remove it.

Speaking of Open source, will this map be open source on it's release or will it be protected?

I think there is something you might need to do with the strings. Like name a certain string something_org.dll. I don't remember what exactly.

:(

debug lightmaps

cool dis project isnt dead. now that adjutant has bsp support are you using stuff from that bsp?

I recommend using it as a reference.

If someone hands me the model, sure. I'm too lazy to get it myself.

here you go Jesse. i had it all packaged up.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/81go4e243gp6e55/thepit.rar

it contains every bitmap including the terrain blend maps. use the amf importer (cuz its better) and when it calls for bitmaps link to the extracted folder.

Added the brace thingies.

Technically, the map can't ever be more than 50% complete because I still have to mirror my changes onto the other side. That said, whatever percentage I give out can effectively be doubled.

Currently I'd say I am 85% done (42.5%).

Fantastic, your progress is.

As a side thing, I got the retail BSP ingame (minus instanced geometry and some details)

Jesse bro wazzap, long time i've seen you online.

It's looking really good, keep it up.!

Same here.

Whats IG?

^ does not know.

instanced geometry

I see, ty. (>'.')>

Pls behave , else you will never win over Mootjuh's heart.

I honestly don't know whether to use the retail BSP or my custom one:

retail


custom



There's nothing wrong with my custom one, and it has pretty much all the details spot on, but the retail one is good on poly count, and it's the retail model. I'd still have to fix most of the instanced geometry, either seal it (I have explosive damages in mind with this) or turn it into scenery.

Keep in mind that the first pic has a lower FOV. Also, the retail BSP has higher quality lightmapping.

oh great not this again -_-

@jesse i would go with the retail bsp. that bsp is probably going to be the easiest one to port from halo 3. it has a lot less IG than what i am having to deal with in rats nest.

on the other hand we should be able to grab the halo 4 remake bsp now, it would be interesting to see if they used the og bsp to start with.

10/10 post.

the 32 on the assault rifle looks a bit pushed in

keep building the custom one, and then make an even bigger pit for like 16 on 16 matches and other cool stuff.
