I love that thread in the HCE section. H2V is out (sort of). So let's see some awesome Halo 2 stuff!

I'm getting the editor as soon as I can get my hands on it, and I'll see what I can do about prettifying my BSPs into the engine and post them here.

I'm starting to port Valkryie to it. No shaders at first, working on lighting data, (for example, bloom functional on the light source), then hardcore shader work.

I agree... part of the fun in Halo 2, is that there really is not one big dominate level like there was in Halo - BG, CTF. It made the game a bit more boring, and you had to look somewhat hard to find a different gametype. I don't want that same thing to happen to H2V.

:) yea its pretty big, but if it is set on ctf, the size is almost cut in half caue there are sections of the map that people get no benefit from going into. its way to big for 3 people, but i think with at least 8-10 players it will be fun.. but with some of th open areas, you will need to check your back constantly.. but tats how i like to play.. the ever anticipating mouse waiting for the strike from the snake, only to in turn bite the snake

oh and at phase.. last beta i got better fps then the rest of the h2v maps, and this 1 is portaled. it actually had to be portaled lol, the .ass exporter wouldn't even export it without them because it was to many pollys (its around 30-35k of them) but now it works fine, and the portals help out a lot.

because its 30+k pollys... mbmb.. thats 3 times the size of an average halo map. the portals use a lil processing power to process.. but cuts down on the # of pollys being processed and rendered drastically and helps to increase the performance in the game.

I kind of agree with this, they kind of don't belong but somehow they look kind of kool, just don't quite fit.

Other than that looks amazing can't wait to see it with working halo 2 shaders :D

Rob Oplawar
May 30th, 2007, 07:37 PM
Nice! The reason I think the framerate might drop is because of scenery objects and weapons, because with the map that big and open, there're bound to be a lot of them rendered at once. But I really like the open style- I bet it'll fucking rock for snipers.
If I may just offer my two cents, I think it should have really moody lighting from sunrise/sunset, with big long shadows and warm colors. Lighting is key- it really does wonders. Make sure you spend enough time getting the lighting just right.

soccerbummer1104
May 30th, 2007, 10:23 PM

i like this guy lol.. haha.. thats just what i had in mind :) but actually scenery works different in halo 2, and most .. or a lot of what you see is actually bsp scenery.. which i don't believe has any processor robbing additions or many side effects, and has more positives than cons.. but ill have to check out with a higher source to make sure.. i haven't really looked at the engine that much.. I'm just basing that statement off what i have heard about it and how it works with different things.

Forgive me for my noobosity, but what exactly are you doing when you "portal" something? I got the part about decreasing the number of polygons being processed, but is portaling (if that's a word) a function in a 3d modeling program or what?

And again, I feel really stupid asking this, but hey-I might need to know this if I ever get around to making a map.

DaneO'Roo
May 31st, 2007, 08:06 AM
It's where you section off the map with invisible plane things that stop rendering past that point. You only use them in places where you wouldn't be able to see past. You couldn't use them in blood gulch alot for example, because the level is so open. But in a map like Chill Out, you can put them in every room, only rendering that room your in, while your in it. You dig?

augie_doggy
May 31st, 2007, 08:18 AM
Oh I dig.

What you just described reminds me of the texture "pop" you get in Gears of War (among other games) every now and then when you run from one part of a level to another. It might not be the exact same thing, but I understand now.

soccerbummer1104
May 31st, 2007, 12:48 PM
i think what you are talking about is much the same with graw, where at a certain distance they stop rendering the detail maps and higher quality textures and replace them with more of the same textures that are super low res, but from 1 mile out dont look that bad.. the only problem is they dont fix it for snipers when they zoom in, and you cant really see anything because everything looks the same. and as you move closer every now and then the textures seem to jerk and come to life with mroe detail. its a similar thing, and does much the same purpose, butfor portals, it actually makes the engine not render the polygons, so if for some reason to portals were to mess up and you walked into an area where one is, but they didnt render, youd actually see nothing, it would all eb invisible, and you could see the sky, and all the way down to the bottom of the sky.. btu if i am correct, the collision data would still eb there, so you wouldnt fall through.. btu dont hold me to that last statement.
