I think wave would be better: https://wave.google.com/wave/

Oh, I forgot about wave; would be a lot more useful

The best thing you guys could use is Microsoft Sharepoint. If set up properly, it's an amazing tool. But, I am not going to dedicate a server to just running Sharepoint (uses 2 GB RAM idle) or the time to setting it up properly........ (it's a bitch to properly configure, and it works off of Active Directory). But Sharepoint would allow ever team to basically have their own site, calendars, message boards, etc.

Wave is a good service to use for teams, so they have everything in one place. A Wave can also be displayed publicly through their web API, so we might be able to create a BBcode tag to allow teams to post their waves in a thread.

Nice way to plan out some maps ahead of time, even if there's no geometry to base it on it still works for the Colosseum and suspended maps.

"Is that what I think it.. it is sketchup".

"oh god what have they done, learn to normal direction"

Going to try and fix those models once I tear myself away from this SS13 map.

e: on further inspection it would probably be easier to start them over from scratch. non-planars, interior garbage faces, messy overlapping.

Would be quite nice to layout a map in max before bringing it into halo. That way the design could be pretty much set and people could be assigned parts for team projects

What would really set your forging guild apart from the masses would be recreating some Custom Edition maps. I don't know if you already planned that cause I didn't read the whole thread but yeah... just my 2C.
