itt: sel begins unwrapping cliffs, makes shitty map better

[Lateksi]

This one has some minimal vegetation. I imagine it would look boring if there was no vegetation at all. Same goes for Revelations, I guess. And one more thing. Is there sand on the outside structures? I'm asking because I haven't played the latest versions.

[Rob Oplawar]

If you're going to do something, do it right.

Do what snaf said

[Sever]

Along the same vein as what Lateksi is saying, you should add some blowing sand particle effects, put sand along the same face of every structure and cliff-wall, and build up dunes facing the same way. It might be too late to properly implement that, but I'm just throwing the idea out there. Hell, I think I'll use that for one of my forthcoming map concepts.

e: and yeah, do whatever Snaf tells you to, since he's right pretty much all of the time.

Do something like Arteen's map, Twist. http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2987

I'm still trying to come up with an interesting idea for a space cactus, maybe some sort of giant agave like thing.

Frankly, we've talked about this and there really isn't any logical place for water to flow to in the map, so unless we have ponds/marshes I doubt there will be any of that.

Personally I want to try a dry-grass look like Narrows CE

(BOY SURE GLAD I HAVE THIS NICE CONCLUSIVE POLL, heh)

Why go for wacky xeno-cactus?
It's not like any of the life on Halo is particularly alien, just go with a normal cactus vOv

E: though if the strucuture is still so early a WIP that the ring its self hasn't been completed, I doubt there'd be any life at all there anyway lol.

logical

When have Halo multiplayer maps ever been logical? Do what looks nice (and doesn't interrupt gameplay).

[Cortexian]

Do all three of the themes and include a BSP switching button in the menu or something.

Do all three of the themes and include a BSP switching button in the menu or something.

no

• shows we cant make our mind up
• increases filesize
• more work

[Cortexian]

no

yes

• gives the users a choice of which texture they want, which is obviously required if the poll is any indication
• filesize isn't an issue for 90% of the people that will play with
• shows how dedicated you guys are
