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

I didn't get a chance to compile them yet, rofl. >>;;;

Moar polies on cliffs pl0x, make them better, the sharpness of them makes the lighting on the cliffs look wierd.

Agreed. I will do some mesh-smoothing.

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.

I'm trying D: Also, the cliff shaders are still being worked on.

and decoraters :P Lots of little pokey upey grass would be sick

The effing decorator brush isn't working right D: I tried for like, two hours to get it to work.

other than that :awesome:

:smith: After I finish this, I absolutely refuse to work with the H2V engine for a bit. Last night, I was unable to even test my own damn map. I couldn't join the dedicated server that Jcap hosted (although everyone else could), I couldn't join Dr.'s private game (Yes, we both have gold), nobody could join my game, and then live wouldn't even sign me on anymore.

And yes, we've tried Hamachi.

So after this, I'm going back to CE, atleast until this issue gets sorted.

Also, thank you Doc, for editing my thread title, lol.

Jcarp was being a carp and didn't put the map on the server. :saddowns:

Change the left click brush radius to 10 on the decorator brush, and just move while holding down the left mouse button a lot. It shows up in game, not sapien D:

the one and only BloodGulch!! I love this map. The new "BloodGulch" on H2Vista sucks.

You mean Coagulation? Seriously, do some research before you make a post that makes you sound dumb.

BTW, looks great Lightning.

Wow! Now THAT is an authentic port if I ever saw one!

Sky got moved, awesome :D

Some great work Lights :D

(Wait for it, it's 900ish kb)
Heh. I gotta adjust the sun a tiny bit more.

Ahh I was hoping to see something like that =D

I just noticed your tree is the wrong way. Rotate it 180 degrees please and then rexport it. :D

very nice :) Glad to see the best halo 1 map ported

no, i ported tutorial kthx :saddowns:

well...no, I didn't actually

:smithicide:

I say fix the lighting

Lightning, congrats on the great work!

lighting is far superior to the original. :mad: ;)

eh, it does look pretty nice

It's just the repeating detail map.

You forgot to put the cubemap on the base.

It's there, just toned down; a bit, too much, though.

Is that the detail map on the cliffs that is making those fine lines? It almost looks like scan lines across the cliffs.

Those appear in CE also if you are using 16xAF...

looking great! would look alot better if you fixed the cubemaps though, and red base isnt suppose to be light grey

Lightning, you've done a great job.

Now another reason for newbies to pick up Halo 2 and go, "omgz bungie did awesomezorz. Sauce."

LIEK OMG That LUkS JUsT LIKE HALO 2!!!!1111

!111!111 WTFFF HAAYLOW TOO?


Anyways .. >>;; the sun's location is fixed, along with the black rocks. I'll start the new lightmaps, and post images once completed.

I dunno. I find that the geometry needs a little shapening up here and there to atleast fit in with the halo 2 theme. Right now, it's far too jagged.

Other than that, good job! Alot of people (especially the competitive community) are going to love you for this.

Lighmaps take forever now. lol

With Jahrains system it's pretty fast. Et_CG, do you still have AIM?

I hate AIM. I use MSN.

That looks fantastic, Lightning.

Word.

Better? :P
(Yes, I am aware all the textures look smudged, I'm running windowed 800 on medium, because I'm too lazy to enable all the fancy stuff. (That's for Dr. D: ))

Haha... too lazy. Couple clicks, I like your style.

Anyways, it's looking great. Looks like the adjustments are making Halo 2 feel like it's predecessor.

cliffs still needs bumps/normals :cop:

FRG is in the wrong spot still. Please go into CE and load BG to see where it belongs. ;_;

something about the BSP looks wrong for some reason... I can't place it. Maybe I should go play bloodgulch

I bet it's the black rocks. D:

Seems a bit overly bright in my opinion... But otherwise you've done a fantastic job on it.

The BSP is somewhat different in places. That cutout area that is right behind him is no longer there. :o

Which I accidentally removed =x. It'll be there in the next build.

Black rocks are (hopefully) fixed now.

which one is Tuckers Rock? :P

no, dont give them the original gulch rock bitmaps. Give the rocks the same bitmap the cliffs have. So they blend into the ground and change the base map slightly where the rocks are. It'll look more win.

Wrooonng. Give them Gray rock Textures, if you have to. The original Rock Textures from Blood Gulch will be Awesome. Would look more original and keep it classic ;)

and I hope the sides of the red base are still shiny

iawtp

dont mess with the BG <:mad:>

I just have an issue with the top of the cliffs. Their jagged edges make them look too low-poly.

You should run a smooth poly operation on most of the map except the bases. It would make everything look a whole lot better.

http://www.guy-sports.com/fun_pictures/lightning_2.jpg, you can do better then that.

You all should just deal with it and watch what Lightning does. Perhaps he'll ask for input on his next showing.

He will work on that, sometime. :D

Neuro, you should feel flattered. H2CE in some ways, was better than H2V in my opinion. It had less problems.

Now to the grub, shall we?

XCE Dedi server, running BG...If only I had some way of getting in =S

If only I had my computer to run H2V now... 'cries'

I couldn't get in, and I have it. Wonder if its Light's PC messing it up still. :(

It's set to invitation only =S
At least that's what it looks like.

The only way for anyone to get in is if they get invited to go in, and someone has to be in it, unless the LIVE account that's used in the dedi can send out invites.

Actually, it's VIP, and I'm the only gametag on the list. D:

I'm still trying to get it set up, it's running under a second user account on my PC, and I can't connect to it? =x

Users trying to connect to a Dedicated server on Live that is on their own network are not allowed to do so.

But, I thought they said as long as the LIVE accounts used are different (and are different computers) then you can join it. =(

you should put my gamer tag on there ;) i'll make sure its working for you :P...but yea...i tried to do the same thing and it wont let you connect to a server that you are hosting from your computer.

Either from your own computer or network, I've read about this BS. Because it is BS in my opinion. I might be wrong. So please prove me wrong.

From what I understand is you cannot be sharing the same IP address with a dedicated host. Too many risks involved.

I run a ded on my network and can join it. That should prove it :p

Is that dedicated server for Live? Or just for local.

Said network, probably meaning LAN, so that isn't really valid. You don't need Live for LAN.

Yeah, that's what I was guessing, was just an innocent LAN server. Aside all that, I think this thread just needs to be left for Lightning's progress.

No it's Live, everyone can join it, including myself. U wanted proof, there u go.
