Im pretty sure Masterz wants to release them weekly or something

The un-resolvable error is our choice to go with DLMs. If we had known that we would still be rendering them in late January back in May when the release crunch started, I don't think that we would have continued to pursue them.

Lodex is correct that basically the problem is that final-quality renders take a really long time and sometimes bad things happen that force us to start over or re-do something. These last two BSPs have been very bad in that respect. (We also lost a week of what was supposed to be render time because Silicon went on vacation and his renders for BSP 9 stalled while he was away). From time to time there are also quality issues that we had assumed would go away when we rendered things at final quality, and then they don't go away when we render things at final quality, and so we have to fix and re-render them. (Particularly issues regarding sufficient texture resolution being given to important pieces of the BSP; it's not easy to know if the shadow from some tree is going to look like garbage until you've actually rendered the thing).

bingo.

In the defense of my computer, trying to run 3 dlm files at once also probably didn't help- it never actually stalled so much as slowed down to an absurd rate.

I would gladly render for these guys.I'm running a Alienware.

> implying Alienware = fast

What are your specs?

I'll always remember to come back to halomaps for all my trollbait needs.

Intel i7.4.3 ghz, can be overclocked to 4.6 ghz.
Graphics card 2 gigs of dedicated video RAM
16 gigs of RAm.
The thing is pretty damn fast.

It don't get the reference. Is "69" some Call of Battlefield: Titanfall's Destiny thing?

You don't need more than 2 gigs if you're not going higher than 1080p.

I was referring to the "graphics card" part.

I wonder what the new marine models will look like, I have reach dialog just waiting to be used (well I am using it right now)

No marines in TSC:E, just ODST. Marines will be only in SPV3 POA, Halo, AOTCR for part 1.

That's good to know.

Oh my god, that is probably the worst first-world problem I know of. Except for me its not rendering things, its downloading them. My internet is pretty crap, and sometimes downloads will stop or the internet will crap out when Im asleep or away.

Oh yeah I knew that, I was talking about the spv3 stuff

Check the SPV3 thread. It's below the forum page.
EDIT: Whoops I meant general discussion page.

i got an 8 core and 28 gigs of ram if anyone wants to have ehlp rendering.

28?!?!?! What's your download source?

I hope we can get something... soon.

We get to wait for their lightmaps to finish. o:

Exactly, it's much more interesting than actual TSC:E gameplay. So much to think about. Which Lightmap will be complete first? Will they EVER finish rendering?

The story is really deep. Almost as good as Destiny.

Hmm, I dunno. There's to little DLC in TSC:E

After nearly a month of rendering, re-rendering and assorted mishaps, BSP 6 "b30r_ext_cave" is completed. BSP 9 "b30r_int_shaft_b" is all that remains.

Is this sufficient cause to break out all of my party gear? I'm absolutely certain I've got a few balloons around here somewhere..

Do what makes you happy :)

Glad your progress has been smooth.
[seems smooth enough anyway]
