Hey, is anyone interested in making a custom edition version of backwash. Ive got the mesh's from Halo 2 for it here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5dpnl-i3riAcHFZYkdlRTZDREU/view?usp=sharing

just import these .OBJ files into gmax / 3ds max and work on it from there.

Ive tried myself but I'm not very good at doing this.

this model will need to be simplified. I can and have imported it into sapian before as a scenery object but of course collision geometry on said object will not work.

Someone was doing a port a few years ago. He still shows up every now and then. Not sure if he's still modding.

Speaking of ports, anyone know what ever happened to Zteams Zanzibar and Delta Halo campaign ports? Are they forever gone in space?

Nope, CAD had his own little delta halo port. Its even shown a small bit on one of his YouTube vidz.

but yeah, anyone keen?

I already ported it, with my own bsp I also ported Tombstone and Terminal is halfway done. Reason for not release is because some fkhead released an early beta of my h2 desolation http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6933 and he fked it putting Bigass biped and fp arms.

is there any chance you could PM me a copy? just so that I can play it with my friends, I don't intend to release it, unless you want me to that is.

Thats desolation, not Backwash.

And this thread is 2 years old.

*was.

I'm pretty sure saying "is" is fine, why are you correcting him?

Because it was 2 years old until was disturbed.

This thread isn't 'old', its mature. Its a mature thread, like mature wine, aged and left for posterity.

Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has actually ported this, I've tried myself, but I only got as far as porting 1/8th of the map, and even then its not properly finished off. Too many BSP errors.

The thread was old in the sense that it hadn't been touched for 2 years. Apologies if I failed to relay that.

Srry.

Does it matter?

And why has he ported desolation, and not backwash?

Of course it matters, don't you know where you are?

You should give him a sniper and a mine. Maybe that's enough to declare residency?

You guys are complaining about whether he should use the word is or was. We should be more focused on making Halo 2 Backwash in Halo CE. That is what this thread is about.

Lol, if only it were that simple.

this is halo ce maps.

ahh Halo 2 Backwash that map was fun, do a port or ill use the force woooo

Wasis.

Lol, here's what I managed to port over to Halo CE from Halo 2.

its about 1/8 of the map:






That alone took me probably something like 30 hours all up. the amount of optimization I needed to do makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Here's a link to it:

I don't know why but the second img is really cool.

I try. 30 hours is a bit over the top, but it took at least 15. there was one particular error that took me hours to solve.

Why would it take you so long?

This was a rather annoying error. It took a very long time to isolate it.

I know the feels.

Force references are overused

So true

seriously though, I'd appreciate some help with this. the way I see it, if I can get a couple of other people to help reoptimise the map It will be done in no time, when you import the OBJ's into Gmax, they come as different parts of the map. what I was working on is but one part. there are four other quarter pieces, 4 long narrow pieces which have the bases and other items in them that fit between the corner pieces, and the tower in the center. If I could get some other people optimizing say 1 quarter piece and a narrow bit it would be done quite fast.

K gimme files.

there at the top of this thread. I'm using 42 and 1 (not 0), if you could start with numbers 39 and 23 then together with what I'm working on that will get approximately 1 half of the map done (the base attached to number 23 is part number 41.

So i'm not going to read all the posts earlier but is backwash from H2?

Srry for my crappy map terminology.

Yes, it came from the map pack I think.

correct, its one of the extra maps from the map pack but came standard with the PC version.

I've ported other h2 maps for personal mods.

The only difficulty being instance objects such as cranes e.t.c i'll look over this next weekend.
