Here's kornman's message from July.

As Masters said: it'll not be a problem since "versions" won't matter with the new OS, and even if it were 1.09 only, they said it would include all the 1.10 fixes.

92.3% done.
52 done out of 56.

Even if the new version of OS addresses all the fixes that were in patch 1.0.10 the game would still be running 1.09 so you still would not be able to play multiplayer correct? or is it making patch 1.09 compatible with the new 1.0.10 patch so that you can still play online without 1.0.10?

It doesn't matter, I guess OS will be doing something similar to what HAC 2 does, because some friends of mine see and can play on over 400 servers using Halo CE v1.0 and HAC 2.

that's good to know.

Next week: 56 out of 61 done

since it's been a while

basically the real Thing left to do is lighting. the process for generating and importing custom lightmaps -- they're necessary for directional lightmaps, but we'd be doing them anyway as they're far superior to the debug tool/sapien lightmaps -- is an extremely convoluted, error-prone process with hour-long iteration times, and we're doing it across 10 BSPs that run the whole range from dark and ominous to bright and sunny.

the good news is that we've more or less locked down the sun and sky, which takes care of the vast majority of the exterior stuff. the interior stuff is going much more quickly, as not having to account for an omnipresent sun & sky gives us a lot more control to nudge and fudge things here and there until it's just right.

"but when will it be done" the downside with long iteration times and error-prone processes is that it's basically impossible to make an accurate prediction. take comfort in the fact that with our critical to-dos complete, me and lag have been taking almost every day to continue combing through the level, finding and polishing whatever we can. (in the past week alone, there have been 64 TSC:E-relevant source control commits made.)

and in saying that, I should re-iterate that other than the lighting (and the new crashed pelican model, as noted on the to-do list,) the map is done. every area, every encounter, every weapon, every unit, every music cue; 100% playable and complete, front-to-back, across all difficulties. with each day, it only gets even more polished

Only this in a bonus level would make it more exciting

A human in a super suit in another super suit???

This is TSC-E not ironman x2.

Halo legends was a pretty crappy fail though.

Its just to use for the fun of it but marines could use it if u don't like the super human in a super suit.

I'm not sure that a Spartan could enter the Prototype suit, but 343 did have concepts for an exoskeleton in a similar style:

Any possible way we can get a rough estimate of how many more days / weeks we will have to wait?

Good idea, let's push the map back 6 more months.

The waiting is hard but it's worth it, just a few more items and then were there :)

no

weaboos go to japan and be like

"duuh where are the subtitles"

offtopic but yeh u rite m8

However long it takes to get 100% completion in the Master Chief Collection.... plus remaining development time.

Psh. Lighting TSC is far far more important than the MCC. I don't even have an xbone regardless, probably for the better.

I was joking anyway. Keep up the stellar work, guys.

It may be a bit strange to bring up, but I wonder how many non-Halo:CE members on console will respond to TSC:E, or if they'll even notice it. The Halo fanbase isn't exactly the nicest place in the world, and as seen in the YouTube comments, have very precise views on what Halo "should or should not" be.

Ah! Well you see your first mistake is making any opinions from Youtube comments.
shudder Youtube comments.
The autism is real.

Perhaps this would be an awful time to confess I have only ever played two CMT campaign levels and they were both from spv2......

That nothing to be ashamed of.

It's pretty shameful.

How so?

he never played CMT SPV1

Shame to he and his family

And those SPv2 maps weren't exactly from CMT. Shame, shame.

Some of them really at least.

So what's up with the busted pelican model, I'm guessing that the fact its taken so long to import is that there is something wrong with it?

I've just been assuming that they're still in the process of modeling it.
