Finally got some semi-decent shaders working.
Medium draft radiosity, so excuse the discoloration. Other than the missing scenery, it's pretty much done. Spot the hidden item in the last picture, win cookies. It does actually work too.
Now stop pestering me to post this, Dr. D:
You got the halo 1 health pack in halo 2 :0?
hidden item eh, ummm.
theres a medpack dont know why we would need that.
i dunno just gimme the cookie!!!
Looks great. Healthpack is nice, doesn't mean much unless you disabled recharging health. Oh, and top of bases are :X, can't wait to see it with the real shaders.
Not bad at all. Should be a fun map to play around with.
Ugly texture on the base :p
What i'd never do such a thing. Good job though. :pQuote:

It looks much prettyness though.

Indeed! It is quite nice :P
Yeah just change the textures into Halo 2 style textures. It's cool that it's the same layout, but it should also look better.
Yeh it looks cool. When I finally can take my H2V out of the closet(my dad put it there) I can play it when its done.
good job lights, looks better then cotton candy gulch XD (inside joke)
An earlier build than the one in the screenies, but:

It's actually VERY nice, with all the lighting applied and such.
Good ol' BG with some radiance.
Gj. But I hate bloodgulch. D:
Dang, I if you release it, I sure hope half of the servers won't be running BG CTF just like in Halo 1 :-/
Good work on it though.
Nades are in the wrong place :|
Looks nice. How do you go about adding a Halo 1 map/bsp to Halo 2 like that? I'd love to mess around with Sidewinder.
Take the BSP and export it as an .ass file and use tool and someone help me from here?
This looks very nice, but when you are done with this, could you possibly make Sidewinder, Timberland and Death Island please? They were my favorite maps
Um, you left out rat race and damnation. No worries though, I'm working on damnation, not sure about rat race yet, though.
Anyway, yes, it does look really nice in-game. Nice job lightning.
death island, timberland, and gephyrophobia are musts.
Needs more desert island!
desert...island...? what is that supposed to be? LOL....dried up plateau with nothing surrounding it, no bases, no vehicles, no food or ammo. Only spartanz.
Cannibal Spartanz!
I think it's that really small island with trip mines on it...Quote:

Danger canyon fails, small maps ftw.
NICE!!!
very nice job:D ,please keep hang'em high in mind.
Some one needs to rip/recreate all halo 1 maps and put them in halo 2 vista so h2v players can play the classic crapynes.
Danger Canyon with man cannons.
where :raise:Quote:

DangerCanyon has to be ported. As well as Chillout. :D
Someone would have to make the skybox go up higher so you didn't hit it :lol:Quote:

Actually you should just make the spawns right on top of each other so when the game starts, there is already a Tower :o
Viva el CE.
thats an awsome idea lolQuote:

maybe near the plasma turrets (down a touch though) to shoot up to the bridges/ledge half way across the map. wouldnt work too well, but danger canyon doesnt lend itself to mancannons...Quote:

ive never played with them on O-o
Hi.
Little update. Better shaders and I started population of scenery objects. Ignore the no-shader trees/bushes. :p
I also made the sky almost exactly the same as the original counterpart, with direction, fog color, and the like. It truly "feels" like Bloodgulch while you play it.
Edit: I also know the weapon spawns aren't correct. I just tossed them in there last minute.
I fcuking love the shaders on these new and improved H1 maps for H2V....but, I really think you should stick with the original textures..........Having fun with those trees much?...
Danger Canyon, Death Island, and Infinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST MAPS..............EVER.................by default
I am using the original textures.
;) The shaders just make them look so much better. (Except the base floors have a bumpmap now, instead of just a detail map)
Edit: Anyone know how to get the map preview bitmap to work? No matter what I do, it never seems to show up in the main menu.

nice :D
I think a new ground texture and some normal maps on the cliffs would be great.
Oh god slap him for that horrible AA
Lights, did you read the help file, there was a section about the maimnmenu map picture thingy.
Quote:
Map Shots
Map shots are displayed when the level is selected in Halo 2. They are a representative screenshot taken somewhere in the level selected. You can add a map shot to your level with Sapien.
To create a map shot
In Sapien, open your level.
Position the camera in the Game Window, and then press ALT+PRTSCRN to take a screenshot.
The screenshot is placed on the Windows clipboard and can now be made into a map shot with any graphics program that supports an alpha channel.
For best results, maximize the Game Window when taking map shots.
To create a professional looking map shot, use the mapshot_template.tif template provided in the tools directory. The template is 220 x 207 pixels with a single pixel light blue border and an alpha channel. Crop your screenshot to fit within the template border, and then flatten the image and save it as a 32-bit .tif file in the data\ui\global_bitmaps\map_shots folder.
Before your map shot will appear in game you need to convert it to a .bitmap file with Halo 2 Tool. Map shots should be placed in the tags\ui\game_bitmaps\mapshots folder of your level. For details on how to convert the file, see the Import Bitmaps section.
When you first convert your map shot, you will get an error because the file is not in the right format. To fix the error, open the new .bitmap file in Halo 2 Guerilla, and then change the Type to interface bitmaps and the Format to 32-bit color. Save the .bitmap, and then convert your original image again. It should now compile correctly.
To assign the map shot to your level, open the scenario in Guerilla, and then scroll down to the Level Data header. In the Multiplayer section, you’ll see an entry for bitmap. Click Browse to assign your map shot to the level. Save the scenario and recompile the level to see your map shot in the game.
What would be cool is the original vehicle and weapon textures (Halo 1 Warthog, PR,etc...).
Lightning! Great work there, everything looks amazing. I'll probably be hitting you up later to borrow some of those shaders. :p
Anyways, I also tried to make a map preview picture - it was exatly like Nitro's that he made for example.map. I compiled it with my map, referenced in the scenario, but it didn't show up ingame.
Same here, however before that "update" it would show that random H2 logo with the circuits behind it. Now it doesn't even show that. Same with Nitro's custom maps that I downloaded. I'm attempting to re-reference them now in the UI folder.
I just compiled his example map, and even that doesn't show up?
recharging health in Halo 2...interesting.;) How much of this map is done?
gimme-gimme =)
yay all original textures ftw.
maybe you could upgrade this map in terms of looks by using Mudbox or Zbrush.:)
please please PEEEEASE make a big high res normal map for the cliffs. :D Just to accentuate those cracks in the texture. Would look so awesome sauce.
really nice man.
The ring in the sky looks too big, is the texture scaled right?Quote:

nah, hes running the game on medium. I can tell.
Correct.
Here are some of Dr. huege-lawl High quality images for kicks.

Some hawt pictures :D. Look what else I found though... interesting what you find on ftp sites:Quote:

Do the base walls still spew blood when shot ;p?
I just how the tank can still concur any surface :-3
The tank is awesome. :-3
Or have mr Phase make a normal map with zbrush 3 in exchange for rep.Quote:

(It's populated completely, now.)
Ingame, multiplayer test shortly.
Lightning, I've been playing with those map shots a lot. And no luck here. I've noted the example map doesn't even get an image even though it's referenced in the Scenario. Just as my maps are.
'hmm.
FriedMetroid: You obviously don't know that we cannot make new skyboxes for Halo 2. Skyboxes are from a model and various other tags. We can make a .sky tag to change coloring. But me must use the premade skies given.
Please do not be so critical about simple conversion. Lightning's using the Coagulation sky.
Complete and utter sexiness, Lightning.
It would be cool if nitro released some tags himself like new skies *hint hint*
Or release all the tags that aren't covered in his NDA. *pokes*
Hey, please?
Also, if Dr. didn't ask you, can you please, PLEASE raise the the roof...boundary=D
I did ask, :)
Ok then my post is just a reminder.
"Raise the roof" :highfive:
....uh, yea =)
Valhalla.
If you're hoping for that...
Go ask Conscarsforlife
Its actually the H2 healthpack....Quote:

Please ignore the black rocks, Lights didn't do it right. :lol:
wow! sexy
Sun is shining in the wrong direction :D But I like it.
Kudos
Detail mapping on the cliffs :P Otherwise beautiful shader work!
nice job and pictures! But no pics of holding FRC, Sword, or those special weapons.:( Keep working on it!
OH SHI-
The awesome factor coming out of those pictures are making me shat bricks
Things to be improved:
Bump maps on cliffs :P If the ones I gave ya don't look any good, just use the coag cliff ones, and make the height on them lol xtreme. It should tile just as much as the actual cliff texture should too, in exactly the same way, it's just the cliff texture made into a bump map pretty much :P
Moar polies on cliffs pl0x, make them better, the sharpness of them makes the lighting on the cliffs look wierd.
Base map, make it blend with the cliffs a bit better, i know it's bungies one, but It can be a bit better, possibly just darken the cliff texture a bit and that might do it, even.
and decoraters :P Lots of little pokey upey grass would be sick
other than that :awesome:
I think I'm going to need a tissue the first time I play this map.
