whats up everybody, i have a bit to share for my first big project which follows off of my first single player map, battlesidegulch_sp

(if you havent played it, try it out) http://www.mediafire.com/file/xjbz0umu5j1ql1f/battlesidegulch_sp.rar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvUqfv_DFs8&t=696s (video of the other level)

so im making a team of 6 spartans who are kind of a freelance team in a world that doesnt follow lore. we have rebels who have teamed up with the covenant and captured spartan armor for their own use and a bit more stuff. its still in heavy development, but i have worked on the intro cutscene... i voiced every person. i plan on making this more than just a few levels. i don't plan to use any or much tags that arent halo 1(besides sounds and maybe a sky) having trouble with a few things too like animations

project x was the former name but it will be known as operation purgepoint now


















i just realized that e3 is going on... hows that for an announcement?

Edit: photobucket is being a pain, im going to imgur

battlesidegulch_sp was really fun. A few triggers were not correctly activated but the nice placement of checkpoints was convenient for that.

It felt like an old style mod for CE and I mean that in a good way. Keep it up, its looking good.

i was afraid that i didnt put enough checkpoints in after some didnt trigger when i tested them, im going to do the same thing with this mod that i did with that, add more ai in for legendary that throw in a fair amount of a challenge.

looks cool! can't wait to see what you do

If only someone would do an e3 for custom edition

would be good to actually have something halo for e3... soooo... does anyone have connections to e3? maybe someone who can squeeze hce in?

It's a joke of Mattdrat, cuz he was the co-host of Halo CE3, which was basically E3 for Halo Custom edition, last year was the last one sadly enough.

the sad part is that i might not get many people playing operation purgepoint because of our population lately :(

I don't know about you guys, but I'm almost ready for CE3 2017!

2nd bsp set is created and I'm going to work on the lightmaps soon. Pretty big too

Bump to keep alive HCE until I retire

Modified tank to fire every 2 seconds and by "slightly" more accurate with the main gun... I have no clue how to make secondary more accurate

Bump to keep alive HCE until I retire x2

This looks like a good project. It would be nice to see some gameplay and encounters when you have it. I could probably help with SP scripting if you need it, though it has been years since I have made an SP map


It's time to move on.

Will do, I still need to learn ALOT on scripting

rendering radiosity... 2 days later it is still going on... but I managed to get all but 3 achievements in halo 5 while it was rendering the next bsp

Bump to keep alive HCE until I retire x3

Don't worry guys, I ACTUALLY have something this year. Totally. Without a doubt. Definitely not making a horrible, obscure referencing of the last 4 years on my part....

You are here for a long time already man, I saw you in very early posts

If it wasn't for audacity all 7 voices would sound the same XD... did a hostile voice...



gonna be a tight squeeze... i gave them all marine voices from fitzgerald to sarge2, and no its not gonna be 6 spartans all the time. that would be dumb.


images outdated, refer to first post for these images

I really like this thing actually :)

I'll be excited for this
I always love me a good original single player map

the upside of the story, i know what i want for the second half. the downside, i have no idea what to put for the beginning and middle after the first 15 minutes. might as well create and form ideas

Dennis will project vomit at the screen when he sees this, but I am proud to be here; This site has been going longer than any other community I've joined that didn't migrate to Reddit in some fashion.

Edit for grammar.

Yeah :)

Been a custom edition user since late 05. I still love this world we made. I wish though that we had popularity that was strong as heck. I want to bring people back to the good old days with my work. The children prefer graphics these days I hear. But I will provide excellence in gameplay classics and story. Everybody still playing custom edition is the inspiration to all our work

i put in some short clips of what i did so far, not showing that next room though


also, due to my job, progress has been slowed down, but during that time, im finding moments to think up the plan

Project X looks promising



Voice acting is very good but I can tell it's the same person for all the voices. Environment looks great and true to Halo but I think if you had the spartans animated even a little bit while talking it'd be a huge plus. Giraffe iirc is someone who can do that.

The plot of my whole story idea that I've written down is 75 percent done, and I may have a voice actor candidate. The final bsp for the first level is currently being worked on

looking good so far

Is it wrong that I keep playing my own stuff on legendary? Idk why but it's so addicting
Edited by rcghalohell on Jul 8, 2017 at 11:35 PM

No :)

First level almost complete. Trying to avoid hitting that 150mb mark lol. I just need to figure out how to script stuff for if an enemy detects the player, then trigger something, and a device thing... o have no idea how to use devices and give the missing strings names. Storm may be voicing cortez

(sleep_until (=4 (ai_status ENCOUNTER_NAME)) 5)

Or you can use =5 and it will sleep until the AI actually SEES an enemy, not just hears/magic aware of one.
