DMT-Broken Indigo

DMT-Broken Indigo
(Internal Name: Shard)

The best way to describe this map would be a with a little Q & A I believe.

Q) So, what makes this map so special.
A) Gimmicks

Q) Gimmicks like what?
A) You don't shoot your enemy's you shoot the floor.

Q) What the fuck? Why?
A) The floor is made of glass.

Basically here's the rules of the map.

- Players take no damage.
- The entire floor of the level is made of glass so your only way to kill players is to break the floor out from underneath them sending them into the pit of infinite pain.
- On any player death the floors reset. So after any one dies all the holes in the floor fill back in with glass.
- Each weapon breaks the floor differently.
- Weapons on map.
--- 2x Plasma Grenades
--- 1x Frag Grenade
--- 1x Assault Rifle
--- 1x Shotgun
--- 2x Pistols
--- 2x Ghosts
--- Normal Spawn Weapon - Plasma Pistol
--- Generic Spawn Weapons - Assault Rifle - Pistol

Recommendations

This map is best for...

- Multi-Life Elimination.

- KOTH
- Assault & CTF

Btw, The map is unprotected for anyone to rip out of. Idc really.

Hahaha. This map is awesomely similar to a fleeting idea I had years ago. So glad someone came up with it and made it! *Downloads* <3 I love really odd gameplay!

Interesting concept, never thought of anything like it before. I'll check it out.

If I remember correctly broken glass doesn't sync. If I was to join after you had smashed some of the glass then I wouldn't see it broken.

It is a good idea though.

After a death though its fine as it resets.

Yeah I did some testing on LAN. The map doesn't sync "Perfectly" but it syncs up about 80% of the time. None the less its still a fun map.

Haha nice. Simple but different.

Oh wow- I just messed around with it a little, and I didn't catch that the glass only reset when someone dies. Makes it even more full of epic win. :D And the grenades are scary. o_0

If you think grenades are scary play rockets. Its epic.

InvaderVeex made a server, and I'm about to join if anyone else wants to come. Oh, and it's on 1.08, so no pirates.

Edit: It's a great map, it's finally something new that only CE has right now (I think). What I want to ask is, what is with the secret room? It has warthogs[4] and bipeds[2]. At least, that's what it has with Rockets only for Veex and me.

Its not a secret room that's the biped crush syncing room. The only secret on the map is the secret button.

We found that, too. Does it actually do something?

Use super jump to get up to it and read the label for it.

LOL looks cool ill dl now.

It plays Music. He did that about 30 minutes after I posted. I left (had dev on, forgot to turn it off, exception) so he went back in, and pressed the button. Told me later it plays music, then had to get off.

Edit: Whoa, what the heck? IV got an infraction?

Hmm, what if the glass was to reset, and someone was in the midst of falling, and is caught in the glass resetting?

Then master chief would be in re-hab for a while...

Ya I noticed that too advancebo, The tankshell shot is also HUGE.

Well anyway, What is the glass, is it destrutable scenery?

No just tons of planes each of which using the "-" modifier at the end of the material name to specify a breakable geometry.

It would be better if you had a safe spot every few squares

An interesting idea. It's not often someone comes up with a tactical(?) idea like this. Pretty cool in my opinion. Reminds me of that game with the penguins and you hammered the ice they were on to make the ice cubes fall down.....

No cause then people would just stand on those squares the entire time waiting for someone to get on the glass.

I loved that game!

Looks interesting. It would also be cool if objects fell randomly from the ceiling every once in a while breaking the glass.

If there would be a Halo3 map that did this......oh God that would make me laugh my ass off. xD

Good idea again.

Well, he got kicked out of his house by his parents and he couldn't take his computer. So now he's living with a friend and he's trying to save up enough money to buy a nice computer and then once he's done that he's gonna save up and get cable internet or something. This may not be exactly whats going on cause I haven't personally talked to him in months but that was his plan.

I haven't seen him since like, february :(

Me neither. Hopefully he'll come back one day.

Halomaps link is up. Finally...

Oh yea it reminds me of those CS glass maps...

Cool.

I can't seem to play this map on a dedicated server because you didn't put an underscore after Broken.

I hope this isn't a silly question but is there a way around that? I'm under the impression that if I add an underscore to it that the people with the map won't be able to play it on a dedi.

Use " around the map name
For example

map_name "DMT-Broken Indigo"
instead of
map_name DMT-Broken Indigo

anyone else notice this map is put under the tags area of halomaps?

I am really liking you guy's innovative ideas.

next up its :to kill your enemies you must make the scarab dance a feverous dance

This looks like a ton of fun. DMT never ceases to amaze me, they always come up with new and exciting ways to make halo CE alot more fun.
