Those of you on my xfire have noticed that i have been working on a new map, Disinction, and the BSP is now at the point where i can display it. Now enough with my constant blabbering, EYE CANDY!!!!!!!!!!




the level is dark because the shaders aren't finished being tweaked and i need to add lights
will have halo2 HUD and my new halo2 project I'm working on. Hope you guys enjoy the screens. As of yet, the map isn't populated, I'm still working on the shaders. Oh and once i get the vehicles working properly they will be placed in as well (h2 gauss hog). A new wraith i decided to make and a dune buggy i might bring back from the brink of death. it currently uses the sky from C10 aka 343 guilty spark. Its gotta be modified, the opaque fog distance is not far away enough. It will also include h2 type scenery (you know, when you walk into it it tips over and does fancy things, gotta thank kenney ) Other than that just gotta add weapons, net game flags and kill triggers and it will be ready for beta.
PLZ PLZ PLZ leave your thoughts, since this is really early i can make almost any change

Will your Halo 3 Assault Rifle and Spartan Laser be in it?

finally u let us show u been working on for the pass week lol

it shows promise

lol well it will have the laser, and it's pretty big actually, the inside is anyway. The outer walkways are smaller and more cramped, forcing CQB and the like. I'm gonna focus on gameplay with this one more than with lobby.

Those screenshots look awsome... that would be a fun map to play in (dark and foggy and gunshots and flashlights and hog lights and death..... it's perfect lol) but what ever you want i guess cause it's your map..... i'd like to see what ti looks like when your done cause it may be better lol. Oh and for showcasing your map... from what I see those are the best camera angles ever.... adds to the suspence.

haha funny you should say that, I spent about 20 or 30 mins taking screens so i could get good ones, and i forget to say that this map is just big enough for me to struggle with the idea of putting the wraith in. I'm still not too sure I'll put one in, it may break the map's gameplay.

haha that wont happen, i do internal beta testing before i do PB1's. Speaking of which i gotta get to work on lobby_classic_Final lol.


EDIT: there will be spectres also

Yeah Forunner themed maps are few and far between. The lightmaps on the map are currently set to low quality, so expect vast improvements in the lighting and shaders. plus I'm still making bump maps and textures, so there will be more variety.

i think it looks good man. it sort of reminds me of that space station from that sonic game.. up in space and dark and abandoned. just like this clown's soul. i get to betatest it right?

oh man if i just remembered the lyrics to that song.....


Meh I remember that.... dern lizzard.

yeah, your first on the list. Mostly ppl on my xfire will get to beta, so i can keep track of who i release it too better.

Can I beta?

frickin SWEET

bout me?

/\ LMFAO




yeah you sure can, if your EVER ON XFIRE!!!!

*cough*..... I have your xfire?

yeah sure, i added you. The beta wont be ready till the weekend, plus i'll get someone to host.

just remember to protect it lol

haha my hekplus works now, so it will be protected

I like this map because it has forruner qualities. Good job

The map looks awesome! You really outdone yourself!
I can't wait for it to be released...

yeah i have another project in the works, so keep your eyes peeled.

can't wait to see it when you add lights to make it a bit brighter.

yeah as of right now ive added 4 more materials, so it should look better when i post new pics.

your modeling skills are pretty impressive, way better than anything i could do at this point in time.

Thanks, I had alot of practice, been modeling since i was 13 (im 16 now ) so i know my way around. Its all about practice really, just sit down and expirement with max and see where it takes you.


EDIT: now i have too many map projects, Lockout and turf now lol
Edited by M6dEEp on Jun 28, 2007 at 11:43 PM

yeah lol finish one

That's nothing, I have like 16 going on at once, and I have control on all of them. Mainly because none of them have release dates, and what I do on one helps the others.

Are you talking about Lost Colony from Sonic Adventure 2? Here's link to the song:

Where are they, lol?


Yes, you do, but that's why you have the UMT.


You wouldn't be our beta tester if you didn't beta test.

*Everyone stares at Jay wondering what he's talking about*

Shh... It's a secret that only M6dEEp, Teh Ganon, Donut, Man of Steel, Caboose117, Geometric Geek, Simulacrum, Pimp Pope, me, murderdollz, Warren, IronClad, Teconmoon, Zodiac, svm, and Knives In Heart know. Wow, that's a lot of people.


EDIT: If you use any shiny surfaces under a light, open the shader in Guerilla, scroll to the bottom, and check "Dynamic Mirror". That will cause it things to reflect realistically. If you want to see what else you can do with light, there's a pretty good tutorial on it here: http://h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3699

wow, i guess maybe if we do the lighting right on maps, we MIGHT might get it closer to halo 2's graphics (lighting wise)

WHOA, i have that tut but never really looked that far into it, I'm gonna go ahead and do that now. And yes, i now have a map team. We are currently getting off the ground, but we have no projects as of yet. I want us to port Elongation (you know that halo 2 map) but i haven't talked to anyone about that yet.

Ah, Elongation. I like that map. I also like Tombstone (hint hint). But I feel like we should create our own stuff, not rip it out of Halo 2. I also think we should make 3 versions of each map, one with default H1 weapons and vehicles, one with H2 weapons and vehicles, and one with H3 weapons and vehicles (Plus Backpack mod).

just the BSP is ripped, we gotta make that conveyer (and have it sync) make textures re UVW the map and make a new sky box. along with some other things to make it feel like H2
