Snafubar finished depoly'ing and fixing the model yesterday and I started unwrapping a few pieces today.
Maybe Delta Halo UI is a bit closer than we all thought.

At long last. Correct.
edit-
I NEED REFERENCE PICTURES! I'm a bit lost trying to texture the support structures under the map. There complex and I can't figure out where to put the strips.
Can someone with H2V get a high rez video and send it to me or just a bunch of screenies of the section of delta halo where you fight the 2 hunters that come out of the space ship and land on the thing floating in the water. The place right before you get on the boats that go across the water and you do the boss battle.

Re: [WIP] Better Than Revelations
Changelog:
-Red base removed and moved to the building connecting it to the rest of the map.
-2 doors added to the new red base. The original door was widened to make room for players to actually get through it.
-Teleporters added at the corners between bases. They take you across the map to the symmetrical side.
-Removed 2 useless hallways.
-Fixed left entrance to blue base.
-Added a middle entrance to blue base. So there are now 3 in total.
-Fixed small other things and various model issues.

server sucked horribly, use a dedicated next time please. if you don't have one, contact me, I have one you can use that dosent suck.
The map seemed kinda weird in balance ways to be honest. the gameplay wasn't great in slayer, everyone was too close to each other when I spawned, and Koth seemed like the only good gametype while i was there. but seriously next time use a better server for proper testing.

More massive changes to the map.
Fixed stray spawns and removed spawns that were terrible in the beta.
Lightmaps. Real lightmaps. Lightmaps that make the map look orgasmic even though the unwrap is horrible.
Changed the sniper platform at blue base.
Added delta on top of red base. Instance geometry? With working collision? And BSP lightmaps? In my halo? What?
Skylights in blue base. It was dark and scary in there. :saddowns:
Moved some weapons around.
Probably other stuff I forgot.

Oh yeah i'll make that other geometry for the middle and the pathways, iirc with lag there is no way up. Also vines.
I know what's wrong its just so damn weird looking. :raise:
INTERDIMENSIONAL CUBE ATTACK
Also. UVW and shader work has begun. The UV's shown in that vid are not final. The next beta will be soon.
Heh. Looks like something odd in the skybox. Lol. Yay for bizarre rendering errors.

Some suggestions:
1. Slice the level geometry where a pool of water is. Apply a shader with a water material to the parts underneath. It felt wierd with no splish-splash as I walked through them.
2. Put some playerclip at the itty bitty ramps where the small pools of water are. If you try to strafe out of one you get caught on the ramp.

Already did the 2nd thing and I plan on the 1st one. That beta we played was just for game play. The map is much sexier now. As snaf has seen.

Re: [WIP] Better Than Revelations
You can trash any kind of music with logic like that.
Tech is (IMO) somewhat like classical music. You have a single person composing 3, 4 or even 7 or 8 channels of audio. This is even done in real time at chip shows (never been to one but would love to). There is plenty of mainstream tech out there but people don't generally think of it as tech. There is also hardcore tech and people stereotype it as "nerd music" which is bullshit. I have a freind who is a complete metal head who likes tech because some of it is pretty intense and well written and he doesn't trash it for being "nerdy".
