Remember- don't take any of those guys seriously

"That's what happens when you don't heed our warnings: your Ghosts get stuck a bit more often."

My brother is having a problem with loading the map. Open Sauce v4 is installed and works fine. He's not able to launch the level with universal UI 1.1. And not even with the console, after setting the game difficulty. The game acts as if he didn't even have the map but he has it, a lonely .yelo file right there in the maps folder. I checked if he made typos or something in the commands but they were fine. Anyone know what causes this?

Just hit Windows+Prtsc(Print Screen)

The animation source files needed to fix the PP, PR, Shotgun FOV clips are in really bad shape (they mostly haven't been touched since 2011-2012), so fixing those issues is a more long-term task. The AR's were fortunately all neat and tidy from when we finished the GL last summer.

There is already a tweak to c_storage_large's bounding sphere queued up for the next patch. Turns out there was indeed some jankiness going on at the edges of the object.

Cinematic skipping was planned for some time, however we were unable to implement it in the final map. This is because cleaning up after cinematics (particularly a very complex and gameplay-affecting one like the intro) can take a lot of scripting, and the map is using up basically all of the memory that the game is willing to allocate for scripts - every addition has to come with the removal of logic somewhere else. We thought that there were other features that added more value.



I'm unable to replicate this issue as described. However, the GL's animations do break if you have cheat_infinite_ammo on, or if you have cheat_deathless_player on and you run out of health. These are unfortunately not fixable because of how the GL animation system works.



This was really cool!!!!!!!!

The next update you should add foot prints on the beach so that it gives you halo 3 feel. Even the blam engine allows you to do that.

"It's more fun shootin' em!"
PTTHHHBBBTTHAHAHAHA AS IF

Actually tried that. Hitting the windows key exits halo.

Press the print screen key with halo open and then use the windows key to minimize halo. Open up paint and use ctrl+v to get the image. Save it from there.

That doesn't work for us.

just wondering, is rasterizer fog atmosphere supposed to be broken? I can't be the only one who's always had that rough square tiling on my screen representing fog density, right? this has been the case for a long time

well you could always try this http://hce.halomaps.org/?nid=319

I hate to ask this, as it makes me look like a complete dick with no life (I assure you i'm not) but is there any estimate (not asking for an actual date) for the tagset release? i want to make (hr){cmt}ghettov3_bloodgulch jk

We are targeting the end of this month.

Semi-important update on the easter egg front. I can confirm that the two chief-heads so far discovered DO spawn in "Noble" difficulty (with the same triggers). May or may not be important.

I like how you guys got the AI to react to certain situations. I was trying to lure the Zealot Elite at the end of the level onto the light bridge, so I could turn it off and make him fall to his death. He ended up doing it to me instead, and he laughed as I fell to my death.

Good to know! I spent most of earlier trying to find more or see if shooting them does anything relevant but I can't seem to find anything.

Hehe, this was fun.
http://youtu.be/pDZZm30zG84

I've found out that the Chief Heads Re-spawn! Every time you load the BSP they reside in actually.

I should make a creepypasta about them.

So i was in the warthog and noticed this closed door.. I decided to check it out closely to see if it was actually closed, but instead, just when i got out of the warthog, the hog somehow pushed me through the door and got past to it...




i though i would of find some easter egg but instead, i just got out of the map :(

I had to re upload this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ8EgveWXdE&feature=youtu.be playing this for a bit as I had some time today just nice but not all the things had normal maps

When I was playing I was trying to board the first anti air wraith just after the gauss hog section and to my surprise the marines rode shotgun on the anti air wraith whilst an elite was still driving and this happened:

Remember the run I did on version 1.0, well thanks to 1.1 I could make it much faster, not to mention that I improved a part of it even before I knew about that version.

Also, thank you guys for adding a little Cortana line for when you perform the one of the tricks.

On the other hand, it's good to know there's no secret behind it.(Or is it?)

I don't know if this has been found but I've found the Silenced Golden BR by accident.

lol kawai bug :)

Doesn't Work It gives u a black screen what i usually do is use a recording program that has screenshot ability or use steam to take my screenshots.

Hi. I just wanna thank you guy for the map. it's beautiful, amazing; everything is beyond expectations. Great work.

Is that the door that leads to an empty non lit elevator shaft? I was looking around with the debug camera earlier and peaked what was behind that door.


LinkMaster, I noticed that too as I went far into the lvl seeing if there were more. Either there is more and they do something based on that part of the lvl or they actually do nothing. They're hard to spot when you're not close to them.

Well, it's time for that image dump I mentioned earlier. Potential spoilers ahead:
http://imgur.com/a/eFDkN


So the security room map's the island like this:



Where it seems intuitively that the Red are areas that are locked down. I figured that the security override from pressing the switch would unlock these areas too (it doesn't) so I analyzed the map as such:



The White circle is the big entrance to the Cartographer. The green circle is that little network of tunnels right under it. The Red circles and arrows represent the path you take to get deeper into the island once you've disabled security. My hope was to use this map to find secret areas, specifically the red sections that you never actually visit.

It turns out that my hunch was incorrect, but it did lead me to find a couple nifty things.



This is down the elevator shaft under the Cartographer entrance, just before the kill barrier. The map above suggested there might be secrets here. There's not.



Very close by, I tried to clip through a wall into what I thought was a hallway into a completely secret part of the map. It turns out only to be a small room, but one worth visiting. Hint: There's a MUCH easier way to get in there without clipping.

Glitches:



I think the floating phantom parts have been shown pretty in-depth by now. Here's a shot with two at once.



I was just trying to snag some equipment when I clipped into this Brute totem. Only way out was to load checkpoint.

Easter Eggs:

Here are some Golden guns that people haven't posted pictures of:

-Pistol
-Rocket Launcher (lawn chair?)
-S̶p̶i̶k̶e̶r̶
-Shredder
Any help would be appreciated.


More Eggs:

This Good Sir spawns in the Noble difficulty boss room. When he's not trying to kill you, the boss will try and kill this elite. He disappears after you win the boss-fight. That said, I don't know whether to kill him or not, or if it even matters.

I know we're not supposed to use fly-cam, but I don't see how else one could have found this gem. ^


Misc.

Me inside a phantom. To get in, you have to use the level skip trick to get into the cartographer early. This will cause the particular phantom to never fly away. Then, you can use a well placed cheat_superjump to get inside. Note that cheats disable easter eggs for the rest of the level.



Looking for eggs, I've found a bunch of cool spots only to be disappointed that there are no eggs inside. Guess where this is.


Edit: This guy found the assault rifle:
