Heard the grunts have the abilty to assassinate you :D

Who said that? No assassinations in SPV3 or TSC:E.

wow, the progress image changed over the last 3 hours. In fact the work left roughly halved.

the hype is real.


christmas release? day after christmas release? it'll most certainly be out by new years.

Launch Trailer of TSC:E or SPV 3 Vidoc on Christmas Day?

You've said this twice, so lemme tell you exactly how that'd go.

"Merry Christmas from the Custom Mapping Team!"
"We're still working."
"Expect a release sometime that's not today or yesterday."

Oh okay, sorry just a little anxious [:(]

Oh well... Might as well wait another month

Don't be. Might as well wait another year. Just chill out and let the project come, it'll get here. :)

i think another one has been done

Looks like we'll have to wait till next year ;)

nobody likes bsp 6

Looks like my prediction may have been right. :P

So water is still glowing in the dark? :(

No... The dark is glowing in the water.

MUAHAHAHAHA *Coughs* HAHAH-- *Coughs* *Gags* Nevermind.

Light of objects can now refract on water?

cool video

cof cof*

Nice video Ifafidaeiuuuubleafilbgrble!
I particularly enjoy the beach areas, as the colors and lighting really contrast nicely there.

Man you sound sick af. Sorry you're having to deal with that. Thanks for the update though, still looking forward to the release.

Did anyone see the new Hunter in the background when watching the video?

That's beautiful. *wipes tears from eyes*

Is that really the final pistol fire sound?

Is the alternating shots using the method I created ? :D

i do not know what your method is; the evolved vehicles use a method that was developed during spv1, but for some reason it didn't work very well when i tried it back then. (this is actually why the ghost cannon from that era stops firing from one gun when it is damaged; i had a one-marker setup for alternating fire and didn't bother re-adding the second marker to ~damaged when the alternating fire didn't work).

the primary trigger marker is attached to a node. the node animates with an overlay controlled by the ammunition loaded into a secret magazine. (it is the secondary magazine so the player can't try to reload it and mess things up). the main gun uses that magazine so that each shot alternates the location of the marker. the magazine instantly reloads so that the firing doesn't get interrupted. the magazine and overlay animation have one frame / round per barrel that the shots alternate from.

when i tried it like 8 years ago for spv1, the magazine kept stalling the cannon's fire when it reloaded, and so the gun was weird and stuttery every few shots. we don't have that issue now though. maybe 2006-era teh lag just stupidly forgot to set the reload time to 0?

I like what you guys did with the shadows.

Looking good, will def have to install open sauce for this

hey don't post my real form on halomaps!!!

3 bsp left

I really hope this map has a very big replay value. We've waited for too long...

Indeed... also I can't wait to tackle the Security Station.

let's rock

Will there be a trailer released before the map?
Edited by Spartan314 on Dec 26, 2014 at 07:01 PM

even now, I'll go in to test one or two small things early in the map, and then find myself playing on until I'm like 2/3 through and have to force myself to stop so I can get back to useful tasks. (of course, I might be a little bit biased)


there'll be a trailer to accompany the launch. don't expect any other videos before then

I won't watch it because it would spoil it.
