Yeh guys, Finally after all this time (more than one year) and all these nights of hard work alone in my bedroom.. I've got V2 model done! :hellyeah:
Sure it will need some corrections after being able to test the futur playable beta version from TheGhost, but not as much as V1 needed after the first alpha... I still need some time to adapt (big work) the model to max (it is still in amapi format for now), so I'll send it to you Ghost in the next 2 weeks...

- I won't comment much on the pics, you just have to know these simple textures are nothing to do with those you'll find in the game (they'll look more like v1)..
- These pics are just to show a bit of the evolution of the model (much of the new corridors and news indoor rooms are hided...
- There are no more ladders in the towers, I prefer gravity lifts (even if lagging)..
- The Banshee will only appear in Slayer and king mode..
- The doors/ineruptors system is still planned..

Enjoy.

This looks awesome, even though i wasn't into yoyorast 1

Man this is looking better then ever.

O_o That is AMAZING!!!!! Can't wait for the final to come out. BTW, the concept behind these maps would look really good on halo 2 vista.

looks sweet keep it up.. i'm lookin forward to a good race mode like the first one...

there ya go no probs yoyorast.

quote that into your 1st post and i'll delete it from mine so we don't create to much lag.

now, comments. i like what you've done (i'm glad it's alot better than that leaked alpha). my biggest question is "WILL THERE STILL BE SECRET TELEPORTERS???"

the secret tele's (mainly the one ontop of the tower) are one of the many things that makes yoyorast 1 my favourate map of all time. they make getting around the island a sinch along with the walls that you can slide down to get only abit of damage from falling from a great hight.

will that still be there?

i'm not sure about the banshee. if you've tested it in game play then i guess i'm fine with it. i don't like the idea of a grav lift (though i appreciate that it stops people coming halfway up and stickying people. i like the way you've made the tower more open (easier to get shot back at)

do snipers still spawn in that long arm thing over the water? (i noticed that it's still pretty closed in and it gets really anoying when your in the base closest to it and getting sniped. though i understand that's why you've got those shields on the sides of the bases.

i noticed alot more jumps in the race course (a good thing). i recall you saying that their isn't going to be ATV's? (or was that a fake yoyorast playing..) and please tell me that's the default banshee/ghost and not H2 ones.

looks like an overall game play improvement and i look forward to it's release (any chance of a beta? pretty please? you can talk to me on xfire if you want it's n00b1n8R (capitol R) )

Yoyorast,

Can't as in "not allowed to" or can't as in "Dont know how to"?

If you want to post them so they appear in the page change the {url} tags to {img} tags or just click the image icon in the editing tool

I edited the first couple of images so you can see how to display them in line.

nooo my good dead was in vain *cries*

Please fixt the race mode this time to.... please... the other one was messed up...

in what way? yoyorast is my fav race map, not only because it's an awesome course (other maps compete but can't really compare to yoyorast's course) but because the map not only excels at race, but at all game types (a hard thing to pull off).

dude now the hard work if give it materials and texture.althougt its not manny textures what i think.cous its nearly same things that in v1 but it has changed dirceto,he has added a little.
maybe three new textures.

O and n00b1n8R, sorry about that but there'll be no more secret tele, no more secret room, no more anything that can distract the player from the real game.
The weapons and vehicles will remain classic.. I m still thinking about the atv question..

well now i'm wondering if there needs to be a roof on the sniper tower since there's no tele any more. considering that you've got rid of the bits you can duck behind in favor of a few bits to hide behind like on the base. so to make snipers more exposed, why not just take off the roof. all you'd be doing is opening it up more for grenades. but then, it's easier for people underneath, but not that far away to nade it. and there's that banshee..


will there be music?

all the people i've talked to about what they'd like in yoyorast 2 (i've been talking to friends about it since the leaked alpha) don't like the ATV's at all. they think it flips far to easy and it to fast (and the MC looks silly squatting on them)

but it's your map so feel free to do as you please. (just make it live up to not only your, but the original maps reputation)

ps. sorry if it sounds like i'm sucking up, but your my mapping hero

dude thats just so it wont look ugly.you know.if he just leave it whit the color it has.it will look like a little green over there and a little purple over there.Althogt you could make a more classic version(like in Kh2 when sora,donald,goofy come to that place(river something)and you got to save petes streamboat^^)

i dissagree.

that would be bad. baaaad. do you spreckan the english? baad.

that will mean that their are 2 versions, a novelty version (bland and boring) and an uber 1337 sexy map of doom version.

the former would look incredibly stupid in comparison to the later.

there is a shee...

looks cool. man i cant believe i still havent been not lazy enough to dl the first one.

SHAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!!!

get it or your life shall be incomplete and you shall be shuned from the HCE comunity

N00B1N8R HAS SPOKEN

i think that saying it's better than only 1 of those maps makes the exact same point (guess which 2 i'm not a fan off)

you know what it needs?

PALM TREES!! mb 3 on the beach? that would be cool
n00b out

that will destroy it.and its kinda anoyning whit trees in way when you are about to get up on that thing on beach or when you want to camp.but on the little piece of island that is were the beach is.you could maybe have three palms there.it would look cool.

That's what is planed

cool

hey yoyorast, you wouldn't want to let us in on what you wanted those vids for would you?
n00b out

do it yourself.

and don't say you don't know how, learn.
and don't say you've tried because if you'd tried hard then it'd be easy (how do you think we learned).

sorry if that's abit harsh, i've just had a heap of people nagging me for stuff and i cracked..
n00b out

its alredy said that its going to be on banshee

what do you mean "why hasn't it been made yet"??

yoyo explained in the 1st post!

anyway, i have something i'd just like to say. you don't have to agree with me, but i'd atleast like you to think about it yoyorast.

what is it that made yoyorast island V1 such a huge succes?
was it's origionality? yes.
was it's game play? yes.
was it because it is simply the best map ever made period? yes.

but why is it? what made yoyo the best map ever made IMO? well, more than anything, i think it's it's ability to create a community in the game loosely interacting with each other being able to do your own thing if you wish, or hang out with a group. you could just go walking around the map, finding new tricks you never noticed before (i'm still doing this) or you could gang up with your team to take the flag, or you could be showing cool things you found in the map such as secret tele's or the secret room. can you think of any map to date, that has had so many people, putting their guns down (metaphorically) and co-operating with each other to do stuff? can you think of any map that has had a stronger sense of community than yoyorast island? it's things like the secret room that really sets yoyorast apart. the fact that people have "party's" in it though little more than T-baging the floor and shooting smiley's onto walls with pistols but still get great joy out of it is testament to it's greatness.

in short, i fear that you are putting to much emphasis on gameplay (though this is perfectly acciptible ) and not enough on what made the origional grate. the fact that people enjoyed the map (even though aspects of it's gameplay were flawed) on a higher plane than a cool place to kill people and instead found gratifaction in working together (something so rare in real life) and simply hanging out made it a welcome escape from reality.

i may be rambling and this may not be making much sense, but i feel very strongly about this and i thank you for your time. i think i speak for more than just me when i say i hope that yoyorast 2 will be the worthy successor to the original that it should be.
n00b out

who need a shee whit four wings?Omg who need it????
i think the normal classic banshee works.

ok here's something i don't get.

people who allways complain on a server how "waa waa, don't kill me, waa waa, i'm still finding my way around".

well BS.
A. you'd do the same to me.
B. wtf? why are you learning the layout of a map on a server? am i the only person who sets up a lan server for myself (since we don't have a LAN with more than 1 halo computer) to explore in? nobody jumps out and kills me, no-one questions my sexual preferences because i stay in the sniper tower to long, nobody does anything BECAUSE NOBODY'S THERE!

it's that simple. wtf is it with people these days and not being born with common sense... i swear the species is getting stupid-er with each generation.
n00b out

holy c|^@p!!! that is freakin increadible!!! keep up the good work =))

the "huge land mass" is effectivly to prevent sniping from atv base on the bases (spwnkilling)... this is the 1st thing people wanted... I think it's a very good idea... And the sniper isn't going to become useless there.. you will still be able to snipe all the rest of the island..

Anyway, thank you guys for all your comments, remarks, and encouragement!

Ok what I mean about fixing the race mode is well.. when you have more than one person well you tend to have a turret in the hog bay... and only a hog... then a ghost and all that crap... please fix this... race has never worked well... in this sence... i'm not saying the track is bad... no it's the best thing ever... but it's the vehicles that need to be fixed.... also thank you for giving us something to be protected at the base from snipers! THANK YOU! i'm tired of going a step outa the base or whatever or just typing somethign and getting killed because of some sniper who knows where... so anyway i'm going to look at those pics again to see what I can do in the new one lmao.

One of the first thing that push me to make v2 was this vehicle problem in race mode... so don't worry..

O and one more time, there won't be anymore any secret room, any secret teleporter, any anything that can distract from the real game.

no ur not the only one who does that. i do that to in pretty much all of the games i play, even on the xbox and everything else. its smarter to do that and be able to hide and kill somone whos chasing u then not know where to hide and die. and yes i dled the first one

News about moongoose soon..
Sorry but the music will remain classic and there'll be more... it's the most universal ... + I love the contrast while sniping.. anyone fav music would be even more annoying..

and i'd be thoroughly peeved if you took it out and catch a plane to France and have a thing or 2 to say
