Fuck, Cocop was right.

Trying to adapt Boarding Action for a new age has failed. I have not the pieces nor the budget to finish one section, much less two.

Ah well, Ascension it is. ;)

Well that sucks that there isn't enough budget to recreate boarding action...

Someone remake H2's Containment instead then as a 1 sided map. :D
 
Digital Limit said:
Eazy, do you have any budget left on your map?
Bout $35 :P

If I needed to I could simplify the geometry and get some more out of the budget. I'm very happy with the initial budget they allow.

It's all about keeping the aspect ratio. If it filled it up all the way you would be getting a wider viewing area, hence something that could be used as advantage in MP. 4 people would result in four 4:3 boxes. If a full screen is what you desire just set your TV to stretch the screen. You will see a decrease in PQ, but if that's what you really want.

What, seriously? That's freaking lame as hell. It's fine when I'm playing solo multiplayer, and if I'm playing against somebody with a CRT TV, wouldn't I still have the advantage?

I know about the stretch, and it looks terrible in it :/
 
Skyline

It's not set up for Territories or Juggernaut yet, all other gametypes should be functional. Objective reset should be set to 20 seconds.

There's no sniper rifle due to the end-end sight line, and I don't have rockets placed on the map due to how narrow it is. Brute Shots, plasma and frag grenades are it for explosive ordnance.

I think it's pretty playable, but that's with two people running around on it.

Well, with an attitude like that, nobody is going to think it playable!

Can't wait to play the MMP with you, Ghal. I want to try out your map.

The only terrain merging I've done is on Foundry using the metal door to force things to sink (while carrying it, it intersects things, and if you grab the intersected thing it gets displaced) or on Avalanche using Energy Barriers or whatever they are (the equivalent to that door on Foundry, but made of bright yellow energies).

I'm not sure but can't you use any immovable object to geo-merge another non movable object?

I looked up TTL L askan's service record to see if he had his tundra map in his fileshare so we could try it out in customs and look what I found...

Could he be the one responsible for the abomination that is Smashed and if so, can he redeemed himself with his new map, Tundra?

I quick search for Tundra brought it up though. Here's a link to it, I've qeued it for download so hopefully we get some customs rolling on it tonight.

I just woke up. I was coming down with a cold and while I slept it took a NASTY turn, so my throat hurts like hell and I can't breathe out of my nose. So I'm having a glass of tea to clear the throat up and a bowl of cereal so I can take some Nyquill and hopefully breathe well enough to crash again. So. Miserable.
Almost similar situation here, except I had the cold and now my voice is slowly getting taken away. Damnit. My coughs hurt like hell. Get well soon!
 
Anyone know if I can make a "swinging door" for my Turf remake? This is for the garage area with the vending machines like on the original map.

If not, I'll just make a small crack in the door for people to slip into.

Not that I can think of off the top of my head.

I wasn't going to say anything but since everyone's mentioning it, I've gotta a incredibly soar throat and I rarely get sick.

It's probably because instead of catching up on my sleep over the weekend I was staying up super late in forge and getting up early to continue.
Damn you Mythic maps!

Just downloaded it and took an overview shot:

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=67477541

Players spawn in the corners, and have to jump up out of the pit to the center. There's a series of raised walls and columns dotting the diagonal line down the center.

The description read "fixes in"

So I'm guessing it's an updated version of his map, or he was trying to improve it like you did a while ago.

Weren't there screens of this map and details about Tundra during Sandbox reveal. He must have been working on this for quite some time, looks good conceptually though.

Thoughts of Smashed 2.0 has me skeptical though.

I won't hold Smashed against him too much, he did a decent job with the tools given (Foundry) and it seems like Tundra is a very different map.

I don't know how you'd make a swinging door, but I think putting a shield door (assuming those are an option in Sandbox) would be a more accurate representation than some little crack.

I would take a bout with the flu to get these maps. I guess I value $80 more than my personal health. :lol

No problem, man.

Eh, but then you can't drive a vehicle through there.

I'd just scrap the map :lol
 
Digital Limit said:

I'd just make a 'door' about half open. The door was rarely ever open more than that, and putting a shield door is horribly inaccurate.

Yeah I meant it like that, not like a crack. Just ajar.

There will probably be epic Warthog crashes into it though :lol
 
can anyone provide me with a boarding action overview? I'll put my rep on the line and attempt to make a map similar to it in style.

oh and can i have a link to Vocs skybox canvas?

I see this thread has turned into the "haves" and "have nots." Nice to see Bungie finally put up the ODST screen shots. I'm also very close to dropping the cash for a Pioneer Kuro. I just need to figure out if it has much gaming lag or not.
 
Team Mythic all over my face <3.

Amazes me that with a population of 250, we found matches relatively quickly, yet in Social Slayer where the population averages 60,000 and can even be 100,000+ at times takes too long and we even get split up.

You need to hurry up and get home so we can play!
