hehehe thanks guys. before i altered the players jump (twice as high ftw) half the battle was not dieing on the terrain, lol. should be all good now though.

do you go into any of the ships in the map?

only draco will be accessable. i considered linking teleporters to the inside of a longsword. still considering though. would be nice for an indoor battle...

ill consider it. but really i want this to be an outdoor map. however i have decided to add teleporters to the inside of a draco, meaning anyone who steps in will be inside. there will be two of these, creating a bit of close range chaos

i see. is it in tag form and colored?

sorry i just dont see it making it in if its not completely simplified for me. when it comes to making bsp, i have no idea what im doin. plus the map is almost done

i see. if i put it in my map, i think it would probably be in the background because there really isnt any room for a huge structure in my little map

yeah, no offense intended, ive seen your work and its top notch. but this particular piece wouldnt really fit in my map

ok goodie.


does anyone have any suggestions on how i ought to do the weapons? all of the weapons are unmodded, aside from the assualt rifle, to give it variety from the smg

assualt rifle: more accurate
smg: normal
Edited by iron clad on Jun 25, 2007 at 08:55 PM

Make the assault rifle and smg recharge ammo, might be fun and it won't ruin gameplay. Make it recharge 5 rounds a seconnd or something (btw it just recharges the clip).

if you meant suggestions on what type of weapons ill give them. very limited sniper rifle placement (like 1 or 2 in the map with a somewhat slow respawn rate). i would suggest putting needlers and brute plasma rifles (just a few), a shortgun or two, 1 flamethrower, a few PP's placed around the map. those are my ideas.

Riiiggghhhtt...


Anyway, looks fun, and what a mess, who's going to clean all that up XD

i cant put any cmt tags in my map, they protect their maps. also, im not putting any power weapons in. ill consider making needlers and PR's recharge, but i have a lot of assualt rifles and smgs scattered across the map, so really recharging them would be a little overzealous.

plus, i already have a storyline set up for my map. i wont put in any dead bipeds, that would be unnessesary and unrealistic, gravity is already set to only half as powerful and if i made falls hurt... well lets just say my grav lifts wouldnt work right.

dont worry rm, in this entire map there are only 2 sniper spawns, and neither of them are easy to get to. chances are, going for a sniper you will die lol

update: the map is done in beta form, i have edited the weapons globals so the only things you can spawn with dev are what is in the map. in other words, there are smgs in the globals, and no flamethrowers or gravity rifles can be in the map, period. they both use fire, and if you can find a way to light a fire in space, you go ahead and use a flamethrower. lol

rm, id like you to play with me in the map, just to test it out. but youll have to host the server, i have wireless. lol. im not going to upload this map to halomaps until its been played. this is NOT a public beta, i dont believe in those. i also made the decision to remove fusion cores (i was going to have a lot). they just didnt seem to fit into this one. thanks

I am willing to test your map and check it out solo on my lan but i am not 100% sure of hosting a server. It will just depend if we can be on at the same time, which is hard to judge over PM. If you have AIM you can contact me (PM for my AIM name) but otherwise it will have to be over PM. I will never again use xfire lol.

but it a server does not work out it's cool, it's easy to judge how maps would be played even if you just check it out solo.

lol yeh..... just had to. Now that I look at it, it looks like it wouldn't need a covie and poa ship in it to be good..... maybe a diff map for those lol.

Looks good, I just hope it's played.

i can't believe that guy suggested the jet pack lol. it's a total noob vehicle.

not happening. its already a huge skybox but i couldnt manage a map that has a huge land area... im not experienced enough

This map looks extremely interesting, at the very least it gets some points for originality, Kiwi can't wait for it to be released.

thanks. you wont have to wait long either, i just need to have it beta tested and then ill make any nessesary changes... and its done.

sorry, beta testing is between me, rm860, teh ganon and [MM] boss
Edited by iron clad on Jun 26, 2007 at 07:02 PM

So then it should be out by next week?

it's a beta so things will change but there is one good thing i will say about it.

that it's modded so much it really does not even feel like the original map. junk in space never looked more beautiful.
Edited by Rm860 on Jun 26, 2007 at 07:12 PM

Ooooo sounds pretty sweet then. Kiwi will just have to hope it won't beat the crap out of his computer.

its not a huge map file, it runs pretty smoothely

it's really no bigger then like a normal halo map file, it runs fine and should on most computers. it's not a 'large' map, it's more a medium-small map

it might not be good for 16 people, but 12 might work perfect

my thoughts exactly, though i set up spawnpoints and stuff for 16. just in case

the only known glitches i have are these

blue base is dificult to access
weapon placement issues
there is no oddball (lol)
there are no race markers
some of the weapons are on slanted ships and slide right off into space (hehe)
Edited by iron clad on Jun 26, 2007 at 07:26 PM

the oddball should never be in a open sky map like yours anyhow, cause people just get it and jump off and die lol

you might want to make weapon placements all in each base and on the moon bases.
Edited by Rm860 on Jun 26, 2007 at 07:33 PM

yeah i know. there are assualt rifles and smgs in both bases, but its phenominally hard to place weapons in a scenery only map...

just give people good starting weapons..i think you can make players start off with like more than 2 weapons.

but i would just make people start off with your assault rifle and smg or assault rifle and brute plasma rifle.

it is hard to place weapons on scenery as sometimes they fall all the way through or halfway to where you hardly see the weapons.
Edited by Rm860 on Jun 26, 2007 at 08:21 PM

exactly. but however, i think it is outside of halo style to have more than 2 weapons, and i dont want to do that. i would love to have brute PR's but unfortunatly my search for them (remember that?) failed miserably. god does not want me to have brute plasma rifles
