E3pO & Modder Central Presents.....

[E3pO]

.... Halo Surf Edition!!!!!!
http://wmclan.net/HaloCESurf.png
Basic Information
Today, September 7th 2008, E3pO & Modder Central are proud to present to you the very first Halo Custom Edition Surf map. The idea of having a Halo Surf Mod came from when I first played on Counterstrike-Source, and then furthered me wanting to try it when Team Fortress 2 surf maps came popular. Late Friday night I decided to test it out on Halo Custom Edition. It failed miserably. After several hundred attempts and failing, i came across something that kinda worked. I tested it over and over again making improvements to the code one try after another. This is how Surf_beta_e3po came to life.

Servers
As you may already know, there is going to be a 24\7 Surf server online for anybody that wants to try out the latest versions of user-created surf maps. The server info is as follows.

http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/72.86.105.219:2302/b_560x95.png

You can join it at anytime; keep an eye out for the latest surf maps so you don't get kicked from the server for not having a map. An official supported surf map list will be available on the main page of my website, http://wmclan.net/ , there should be a link on the top of the page by the end of tomorrow night (September 8th, 2008).

Beta Testers
Here is the list of the beta testers for surf_beta_e3po.

E3pO (http://wmclan.net/)
Matooba (http://halopc.moddercentral.net/)
Del (http://deltronzero.com/)

If your name is not listed, well, then you didn't beta test it! :)

Other Information
There are still many bugs in the way it works, one of which is you can't jump off a flat surface and still have the (TOP SECRET) attribute effecting your player, I will hopefully code this in sometime tomorrow after school(September 8th, 2008).

Creating your own maps
It’s very simple to make a surf map; even a noob can do it! I will be posting a "how to make a surf map" tutorial later tonight (September 7th, 2008). When you play the test map you will pretty much understand how a ramp needs to be made, if you play games like Counterstrike-Source, or Team Fortress you probably have played on a surf server. The maps are basically the same thing, and the concept is exactly the same. Basically you’re making a ramp, and then another one, and another one, and a teleport, and then another one. It’s that simple! We’re always looking for people to join the surf mapping team, so feel free to join at anytime! All you need to do is contact surf@wmclan.net about wanting to join, and we will get back with you as soon as possible.

Download
Remember, E3pO & Modder Central invented this type of game play so don't go stealing our epop! \:D/

Please dig!! Thanks :)

Ooh, so how does it work?! :D

Ooh, so how does it work?! :D
Haha, That's for me to know(At this time), And you to find out(when i release my application that edits the .map file). Come and join us in the server!

So is it a modified map? Walk on walls perhaps?

Sorry but you are not authorized to view or download this Attachment

EVIL!

new link so that I don't have to have an account, please?....

btw, this is badass.

You have to be registered on moddercentral.

[il Duce Primo]

Take off the register to download thing.

[Limited]

You have to be registered on moddercentral.
Yeah, thats not gonna happen.

[Zeph]

O_o
that's not surfing.

[ultama121]

Pretty cool.

[AAA]

yeah, it kind of looks like you've got really low gravity on... I can understand the whole being able to control mid-air positioning but, why so sensitive? makes you kind of look like you're on flycam.

Am I the only one who has that feeling?

[E3pO]

You can try it out yourself, download the map and test it. Download link is on the main page.

[AAA]

Yeah, unless someone can throw out a link that doesn't involve signing up for; I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Thank You though, it's nice work.

[Higuy]

I like the end of the video.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
LOL

[supersniper]

He wanted people to register to the site... which you just defeated the purpose by putting up a mirror...

[Gamerkd16]

It doesn't seem like the best way to do it. It discourages the download of his mod/map.

Also in the end all he gets is a bunch of faceless members. I know I registered there for one reason. I prolly wont come back again.

To get members he should say the news for his mods will be on the site. After a while, once people read enough news, they may want to register and contribute ideas.

[DaneO'Roo]

Not downloading without a proper download link.

Uh, just played it, and I don't get it.

It's a bunch of objects floating in the middle of a sea.

:/

[n00b1n8R]

Did you watch the video? Do you have any idea what surfing in a videogame sense is?

[Jelly]

It's pretty hard to hear what you're saying, split the video into two parts if you're having trouble fitting it to youtube size.

[Evil_Monkey]

^^ Not only that, but you may want to slow it down a little so we can understand you.

[StankBacon]

It's pretty hard to hear what you're saying

eh? i heard him just fine.

[Lateksi]

"Surfing" was one of the reasons I played CS:S for a while. Thanks a lot for making this possible! I hope people will come out with fun and hard surf tracks ;)

[Gamerkd16]

Rapidshare link: http://rapidshare.com/files/143551437/Surf_Beta_E3pO.zip
I wouldn't do that. Apparently they delete the posts of mirrors. I tried to do the same thing... :confused2:


split the video into two parts if you're having trouble fitting it to youtube size.Which actually you are allowed a little bit over (10:02, 10:03).

[Lateksi]

Which actually you are allowed a little bit over (10:02, 10:03).
I'm pretty sure the max. is about 10:20.

[Limited]

Pfft, get a director account :O Unlimited time baby.

Also I hate watching stuff in super speed, cuz when I stop the vid my mind is still in super speed so I feel I gotta do things ultra fast >_< Nice work though.

[E3pO]

Not to be rude, but I'm kinda depressed that i haven't got any +rep lol. I'm making a better tutorial here in a minute, high quality with download.

[Limited]

Hey I gave you rep, also answer the question :D

[Saggy]

Pfft, get a director account :O Unlimited time baby.
Not any more, they changed it to a maximum of 10:00 minutes for everyone.

[Limited]

Not any more, they changed it to a maximum of 10:00 minutes for everyone.I'm pretty sure the old director accounts + partners still can. I'll give it a try sometime.

[Evil_Monkey]

So if one was to send you a map to do the :conspiracy:, I take it one can protect the map due to you using an external app to do the :conspiracy:?

[E3pO]

Pfft, get a director account :O Unlimited time baby.

I have a director account... Still get the 10 minute error. I think you need to of had an old director account.

[E3pO]

So if one was to send you a map to do the :conspiracy:, I take it one can protect the map due to you using an external app to do the :conspiracy:?

Possibly yes, i haven't tried on protected maps yet. I will post back more info later after my dentist appointment.

[Lateksi]

Alright, I made a one minute video of the map. You might want to watch it in high quality.

They took away the director abilities. If you got one early you keep it and still to this day have like hour long worth video limits. But if you get one now, you still only get the 10:20.

Unless you mean partner accounts? Where you are partners with youtube and get more special privileges like a banner and whatnot.

Yes. I have one too with limits.


E: Didn't see page four. Meh....

[Syuusuke]

Wow. Props to bringing a CS-sidegame to Halo, I used to be addicted to surfing in 1.6, now that I'm ok with it, I just gave up on it.

Gonna try it out.

Makes me wanna surf again on CS.1.6

[Matooba]

What do you have against filefront? Seems like you post everywhere but there.

[E3pO]

Cause everytime you view filefront, they get money.

http://www.filesavr.com/surfbetae3po is what i recommend because its high quality downloads, and no advertisements.

[Limited]

Retarded statement E3po, so you dont use Google to search?

The fact FileFront gets money every time you view it is good, because that means its a stable company, they arent likely to take your file down.

[StankBacon]

wow...


also, owned by limited.

[Lateksi]

Uhh stop hating on him?

[StankBacon]

maybe when he stops being an ignorant fool.

[Limited]

Uhh stop hating on him?Considering he is plastering "made by wmclan", "idea by wmclan," "dont steal idea cuz made by wmclan" etc everywhere, yet he says he hates ads?

I like E3p0, he just has a weird way of doing things.

Were do i even say idea by wmclan? I don't even mention wmclan!! Just an email address, and next to my name. WMCLAN did not makes this. Were the hell did i plaster made by wmclan? prove me wrong and you can have a cookie. if you don't show proof i plastered made by wmclan, and you better make me a duzzen fricking cookies.

[Matooba]

Girl scout cookies?

[E3pO]

Girl scout cookies?

No, the crappy kind they make at schools.

[Limited]

Oh my bad, E3pO & Modder Central, see people dont even read the ads so why slap them everywhere just to annoy people? You also werent going to give us mirrors so we had to register on that site.

[E3pO]

I gave you mirrors. Just not the day of release. The reason I did this is because I got an amazing offer from Matooba that I couldn't let down. I wanted to get him more members and it wasn't to make his site more popular, it was for people to actually get some good help. Most of these websites "halomaps, modacity, etc" don't give the correct help that people deserve. People reply things like, "go get a life noob you can't model for shit", etc. Those don't help do they? Modder Centrals goal is to actually help people with their problems and not make them even more frustrated then they already are. Well, i'm tired of typing now so i'm gona go back to programing.

[Apoc4lypse]

Ooh, so how does it work?! :D

............

Change the players walk/run speed. Then change his ability to climb surfaces for the "surfing effect" or sliding affect... actually it prolly doesn't matter.. I did something long ago using hmt, i edited the players walk speed and found that when u walked, cuz u walked so fast, you'd go flying forward and ramp off the bsp...

I dont see how you can possibly claim something like this, its just some random values added to tags. All you really need to do is edit the players walk/run speed, then maybe make a bsp with ramps.

1. Run speed is default.
2. I do no allow players to walk on walls. (you would be able to walk up the walls of the base, you can't.)
3. Walk speed is default.

So, yes i can claim it. I don't see anybody else claiming it before me, so hey ill claim it :)

I agree with Apoc4lypse (http://www.modacity.net/forums/member.php?u=29) on this, you could have just made the ramps have the ladder properties whilst the things you didn't want players to run up remained normal.

Have you even played on the map yet? You would know whether its a ladder or not.. If you look in the video you can tell its obviously not a ladder.

[Evil_Monkey]

Actually as a matter of fact I have.

[Limited]

So, the maps are unprotected because you open them in HEK+ or because you do it via hex? :D

[E3pO]

So, the maps are unprotected because you open them in HEK+ or because you do it via hex? :D

via hex. My program "i was lazy to program it" needs them to be unprotected. This is so that people can't just go around with random protected maps and change it as they please.

Sweet, nice work :) So it is programmable, in due course :) just gotta be patient.

Sorry just had to.

I look forward to seeing new, more interesting surf maps.

[Apoc4lypse]

:words:... so hey ill claim it :)


aiiight...

I still think I can do almost exactly the same thing by doing what I said... I'll test it oneday when my CE is installed...

So if I succeed I have proof that I'm not using ur method and I don't have to credit shit... right?

Except maybe the real surfing game or w/e it is.

Word to the wise, you come off as a tool if you go around "Claiming shit"

[metsfan0908]

O!

i downlaoded this map its pretty cool (the idea of it) but its very short :|
i understand this is the first surf map but this is an idea:

make a surf map where players race sorta
