Does anyone know of any "actual" bsp ports from any other game other than ce that made it into this engine???

Apart from: Foundry and the pit I'm unsure if any others exsist, I'm currently working on my own port and I am in dire need of inspiration. :)

Ibtried boneyard the other day, Max died due to 2 million triangles and 7k instances.

I meant bsp rips which made it into playable .maps :) Sorry should have been a lot clearer.

I did this a long time ago.

Ooooh sexay!

May I know any extra details of your map?

What map is that? It looks kind of like Construct or Epitaph

-The whole map should be 110k. But the BSP itself is below 32k.
-I first tried making the whole map BSP or render only BSP with scenery colission, but since the map's 110k that didn't work out, even with portals.

-The BSP is one of the rooms of thee three generators in the level The Covenant from Halo 3.
-Unreleased as the project was supposed to be a whole SP level and this was just a small portion of it. Pretty sure I saw Matt porting the same BSP too, maybe he'll be releasing it in his Takedown project.
-There is nothing much to teach, get all Instances and convert them into scenery, get the positions from max and manually place each one. Set up shaders amd lighting and voila(bot that I did that with that pic).

Good work Mootjuh.

tbh the BSP looks as bad as halo 2

That's not something that will ever truly change, even with Open Sauce.

[insert obligatory pointless halo online comment here]

Happens when you take functionality as a priority over gfx.

The textures and (most) scenery for Foundry were ripped, but the BSP model itself was entirely custom modeled by H3MT member Acrylik (If I spelled his name right) with further model improvements by me. He did a damn amazing job IMO which is why DSalimander and I decided to take on the project in the first place; we couldn't let such a beauty go to waste.


Flanker, what BSP are you thinking of porting and from what game? You should know that major sections of the BSP are easily sealed and portable, but a lot of the maps used Instanced Geometry which is where the real work comes in, depending on how you decide to get them in-game. Scenery is easiest, but unless you use superbasic BSP models where they go, you won't have explosive damage be stopped by the scenery. Then of course there is the scenery itself.

sword base. im working on... (trying to....) but at 900000 polys its a task il tell you.

No lightmaps though.

At the moment I already have a half a bsp down from 500k down to 230k and I have 1 side of battle canyon (blue base) @ 7k. So I am close except all of it will be pretty pointless unless I figure out those damn cc composite textures.
