Use Halo Insurrection as the UI song.
They're both pretty awesome considering they'll both have a bitchin' pause menu :ohboy:
My accuracy is just fine. In fact, those head shots I landed on your over sized melon must have damaged what little logic you have. The thread title makes perfect sense. Your just to incompetent to understand it.Quote:

inferno leads 5 to 3 with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter. what will sel try and pull off to take home the victory or push this into overtime?!?
Pause menus are the only reason I play new maps these days.Quote:

What people see when they quit a map can really make or break gameplay.Quote:

Maybe if you worked on the map rather than wasting time translating to monkey you could prove it better than Revelations.Quote:

They didn't. I still have that map. :PQuote:

also, disable devmode so they cant just (quit
Or just make the "Leave Game" button take you to another menu that says something like "'Are you really sure you want to stop playing such an awesome map?' Yes/No".
That might be an option for Revelations, but definitely not this map. No one should have to be forced to have issues quitting this.Quote:

No, you can't change the thread title. I've tried with my own threads.
It's an option which is THERE, but there must be a bug in Modacity's permissions because while it says you've changed it, it doesn't actually change it except in the title you see when you go into "Advanced Mode".
I don't even think anyone can actually even SEE every reply's title.
E: Nope. I can't even see the changed title in my own post.
There's a grace period where users can edit their own topic titles. I forget how long it is.
Extend that to infinite, problem solved.Quote:

edit-
NVM. Name it "Snafubars triangulation on the blue base is horrible"
where's all the cool stuff? all i see is "lol wut?"
magic box reminds me of ATHF.
13 deleted shitposts later,
A+ post quality in here.
I recommend "Lets Go" by Apples in Stereo.Quote:

Since snaf is doing work on the harbinger model and I'm waiting on a UI element for yoyov2. I decided to begin work on vertigo.
This is about 2 hours worth of modeling for me heh.
Not a bad start I'd say. The upper area of the map is half way and the ladder rooms are done. The under area hasn't been started though.
That was fast.
:realsmug:
That's what she said :smugsome:
thats what HE said. :mech2:
:gonk:
Oh you guys. :v:
When I get it lighted I will need kiddies to help beta. I think that little ganon kid want to beta. Amirite?
vertigo looks nice, alot of CQC expected or what?Quote:

All of the maps I've made excluding SP and yoyov2 are part of the Infernal Map Pack. Which is going to be done EVENTUALLY.
Flamers = bad gameplay.
not at all, they work well in some maps.Quote:

Vertigo Open Beta! The map will be publicly up for download later today. And I'll have a server running it on a map cycle.
Check back in about a hour.
edit-
Current layout.
for fucks sake, what do people find so hard about using shot tags? ~con
Beta time! Download the map and talk to me on AIM (infernoxpyro) or Xfire (wankzta) Were going to set up some betas.
DOWNLOAD
Looks interesting. Make sure it's still up tomorrow when I can actually test it :)
Reminds me of Ivory Tower, I like it alot. Download now, will check it out.
Alpha was fun, I'll take a look at this one.
Owai- You're banned.
Was it because you liked the teal?
Should be some updates tomorrow. :woop:
beta soon. contact Inferno for the map!
Fix the stairs - they have no player clip. I'd also say fix the map, its gameplay and function are lacking (though the form is done quite nicely in some areas) but I'm saving my monthly mapping rant/commentary for bigger better things.
Some shots of what it looks like so far:
Red Base (edit: it's is actually blue base):
Not sure how gameplay will pan out - there's not too much head cover anywhere, easy pickings for pistol whores.
Looks pretty good, visual-wise. Get gameplay more now. :)
looks cool
shame it plays horribly!
Wow. Looks beautiful. I'd download it just to run around in it. :D Of course, that's my viewpoint with every map. If that contributes to the Delta Halo UI, that's going to be one damn nice UI.
Ok, so people that got to look at the map today, Inferno wants to know:
-What should be retextured or added to (other than what's obviously unfinished).
-What they thought of the atmosphere of the map
The textures are nice as is, the only thing I don't like is that the tile texture for the floors are too repetitive.
Personally think the atmosphere of the map is good, although it needs more plant life. If it's supposed to look brand new, there would be plants or something in those extruded parts around the center, and the very center patch of dirt would be a center piece of some kind. I think a massive tree would be awesome. Or put glass down and have random covenant AI duke it out in a box since it looks like it's an arena of some kind. Something.
The blue base needs something added to it, it's too empty as is. Covenant barrels maybe, or just add in some extruded blocks like there are in the AotCR rooms.
It'd be cool if the structures that aren't bases had the massive flares like the bases in infinity as well.
oh, and the skybox isn't finished if you hadn't realised :x
Are you kidding? I ran a test solo with snaf and there's plenty of cover outside of the bases, though only from one or two directions.Quote:

Are you using some ripped textures? I know the tile texture I made doesn't look like that.
You should add weapon drop pods and covenant computers and weapon pods things.
Also, I was thinking about this. This doesn't really make sense if it takes place in the same lake as the one in H2. What might be a better idea is if the Halo 2 location is expanded on, taking place in an adjacent lake. I think at the beginning of The Sacred Icon, you can see more than one lake, but I'm not entirely sure. Even so, a little extra could be injected.
With the surrounding land, just make it look better. Add trees and bushes, much what you see at the beginning of the level Delta Halo.
Hell, what might even be more awesome is to have the covenant cruiser as an actual model (low poly, though) way in the distance, but not just a silhouette since it could take closer to it. Most could stay the same except for the wall and cruiser positions. Hell, you could even animate the covenant fleet slipspaces in the air. Too bad we can't have animations in the main menu though... :smith:
:smith: Tis a sad thing.Quote:

It would be laggy, probably, and I am more than likely overestimating Halo's engine, but it WOULD be a way to fake animations in a UI, short ones at least.
Actually, could OS enable animations in a UI :?
Does a UI permit an animated sky? You could simply put the models in the sky if that's the case.
I've had this idea before, but as CAD has told me, it would be alot easier to just object_set_permutation instead of create_anewQuote:

Anything texture scroll-based is a yes. model_animations tags are a no.Quote:

"Free inferno with the purchase of 2 beta maps! Get on xfire people cause we be testing both vertigo and harbinger today."
needs more vegetation
Guess who's back?

Okay I need a pole.
Do I add the covie capital ship to the BSP and have awesome bumped cubes and shaders. Or do I make it a scenery and use normal shaders.
It's about 2.5k polys and I already have some clipping on the map.
Is it worth having a little clipping but getting a awesome shader on the ship?
Idk test it. :iamafag:Quote:

Yeah I already made it render only. I'm too damn lazy to debug the collision on that thing.Quote:

It's funny, I'm using that same exact ship on my next map...
when I played it I didn't actually see any clipping
It's there just not noticeable from most parts of the map.
I suck at portalling.
*tries again*
Sir, if it is THAT hard, send it to me for portalling.
I managed to portal that clipping clusterfuck Snowtrap, I'll portal this one.
So I've got a terrible headache right now and that might be the cause of this idea but, random bipeds, yes or no?
Hell no.Quote:
