Looking pretty awesome, Con.

[sdavis117]

Off-topic to the awesome ring, but are you planning on actually making that GIANT FUCKING SNOWBALL into a GIANT FUCKING IGLOO, or are you just going to texture it to make it a GIANT FUCKING ROCK?

[PopeAK49]

I betrayed red team and joined blue. So yes, it was poor balance.

PS: Have you put a FUCKING GIANT DOOR on the FUCKING GIANT IGLOO yet? 2.Off-topic to the awesome ring, but are you planning on actually making that GIANT FUCKING SNOWBALL into a GIANT FUCKING IGLOO, or are you just going to texture it to make it a GIANT FUCKING ROCK?[/

I have a forerunner door on my igloo.......and SNOWBALLS DON'T MAKE IGLOO'S DAMN IT! More like snow blocks.

Anyways if you ever get that ring/sky ingame i'm going to take that shit, make babies with it and put it in my maps.

some quickie strato-sentinels for placement around the sky later on, I'll give em payloads when I put them in an actual texture

[Higuy]

I have the Sentinel Factory in the sky if you want to put that in the sky too, just a suggestion.

[Sever]

I thought no at first to that, but it might actually be a good idea, higuy. I say this to you, Connor - fully finish the constructs and planetoid before you add anything Sentinel-based to the mix so we can judge how much, if any, should be added. Sometimes simplicity speaks volumes, but the inclusion of Constructors, Sentinels, Strato-Sentinels, and factories might also add so much more depth to the system's overall majesty. One step at a time.

[Bastinka]

Interesting, overall looks impressive. Personally, I would like to see this in-game.

Something like what you see in halo 3 when at the citadel, only it'll be directly above you in the sky.

[Joshflighter]

Fk, my eyes are not worthy of such a beauty in it's picture form. :(

[Advancebo]

I think it would be better as a model of the ark, so that you can adjust it to how ever you want. And it can be reused and readjusted.

ffff
stop making me want to play play H3 to see this shit ingame. :saddowns:

[Con]

tomorrow I'll see if i can get the ark inner edge going, and maybe even some of the atmospherics around the core.

[jcap]

I think it looks great, but it is still a REALLY stupid idea.

With the Ark's core atmosphere, you won't be able to see shit. You won't be able to see the other side of the ring. Fuck, you shouldn't even be able to see the actual core. Just play The Covenant and get to the end. The only part of the core you can see is the top of it which broke through the gas atmosphere.

[rossmum]

I disagree. I can't fault your logic, but look at it this way: do we bend things a little to get a unique and visually impressive sky, or do we stick to the established 'facts' about the game universe entirely and sacrifice that for yet another starry sky or overcast shitstorm? I think in this case, it's not only alright to bend the rules, but it's actually the better option to.

[jcap]

I don't know if it's "bending things a little" when you're making up something impossible and illogical. I could understand if it was only a little gas or if it was dense enough to see the core, but not the other side, but this is extremely dense that you can't even see Halo through until it rises up. For the gas to just "disappear" is...nonsense.

[Angatar]

Awesomeness>Realism

[sdavis117]

This.

I don't care how realistic the sky is around a ring created by ancient fictional beings is, I just want it to look cool.

You best be trollin boy.

[Sel]

I'm with ross.

Also most players aren't even going to think about it, and I'd really rather go for something that looks amazing, instead of something that makes sense in a fictional universe. Besides if enough people complain we can make up some backstory :p

[jcap]

There is no backstory. It's a fucking dumb idea that makes no sense and is impossible to relate to Halo. Why bring the Halo 3 universe into it if you're going to butcher it and tear it to shreds? There's nothing that's consistent. Fuck, what makes the scenery of inner-Ark is the gas. It's absolutely beautiful seeing those clouds in The Covenant and in Halo (last level).

Let's just put the Earth in it too. Yeah, let's put Earth on the other side of Halo in the sky so it looks cool when you look up. We can also have Halo charging because it looks awesome. Why not?

[p0lar_bear]

Hey, guys:

Nobody cares.

[Rob Oplawar]

quit your bitching, jcap.

Conscars, make sure you apply a bluish filter to it, to make it look more distant, like the halo. Right now it sticks out kind of strangely.

[jngrow]

Yeah, cause everyone who plays this map is going to be like:

"NO GAS? WHAt THE FUCK, SO UNREALISTIC! THE BUTCHERED HALO! MIGHT AS WELL PUT MARIO AND SAMUS AND CRASH BANDICOOT IN NOW"

I get where you are coming from, and sure, it probably shouldn't stick out as much, but really, I don't think cutting out some gas is equivalent to butchering the Halo universe.

[.Wolf™]

Hell.. I play the game.. Do you?

[jcap]

This last page is a cesspool of stupidity.

http://www.ascendantjustice.com/files/cocop/The%20Covenant/The%20Covenant%20Large/Foundry-large.jpg

That is the top.


http://www.ascendantjustice.com/files/cocop/The%20Covenant/The%20Covenant%20Large/HighCharityView-large.jpg

That is when the ring is in the process of being raised. It's already out of the huge gas cloud, but there's still a lot obstructing it.


Unless you're going to conform to the game, you're better off either ditching the idiotic idea or coming up with something more original in a different part of the universe.

[=sw=warlord]

Just pretend its another shield world and be done with it.
Maybe the clouds were from some weather pattern?
the circumstances that the halo rose wasnt exactly the most calm with all the gun fight and explosions going off left right and center....
E: that's a point arnt there other levels multiplyer levels which have the ark sky and have a clear ciew of the core?....

[jcap]

Actually, you can't even tell that you're on the Ark in half of the multiplayer levels...

Also, where are you on Sandbox? There's no indication where you are, and there's a planet with a ring around it in the sky.

And having the ring on another shield installation would cause a conflict because then you'd have two rings being repaired........

[=sw=warlord]

Actually, you can't even tell that you're on the Ark in half of the multiplayer levels...

And having the ring on another shield installation would cause a conflict because then you'd have two rings being repaired........
Hmm Valhalla? Snowbound? the list goes on.
And how would an extra shield world cause conflict?
Seems more like better efficiency to me, why wait for one ring to be finished repaired built when you can have 2 rings being done at once, one one side of the galaxy and the other in another part.

[jcap]

Because the ring is Installation 04...the one that you blew up.

[=sw=warlord]

Because the ring is Installation 04...the one that you blew up.
Installation 04 was a fortress world not a shield world.
And your bitching about others on getting the halo fiction correct >_>.

[Angatar]

Fortress worlds=Halos
Shield worlds=Dyson Spheres

Shield worlds are hollow planets containing a slipspace bubble to keep it's occupants safe from Halo.

Anyway, who cares about if it breaks canon? You have 16 SPARTAN-II's fighting each other in random places across the galaxy. How does that make any sense? Hell, missing some fog makes more sense.

[jcap]

Yeah, I'm aware of the difference. I thought you were saying the ring should be at another Installation 00. That wouldn't make sense because then you'd have two Installation 04s.

[sdavis117]

Or maybe another Halo Ring blew up.

Suns go Supernova all the time, the galaxy is filled with giant rocks going at high speeds, there are several species all with high tech...technology all trying to blow each other up, the list can go on and on about how another installation could be destroyed.

Either way it is just a sky in a Halo CE multiplayer map.

[=sw=warlord]

either that or the ring is getting a upgrade to its inventory, surely after 10,000 years tech would have been improved the the caretakers?

[p0lar_bear]

Hey, guys:

Nobody cares.

[Corndogman]

Yeah, good point, you should probably stop posting.

No but seriously, jcap its pretty apparent that nobody else gives a fuck but you. If it looks good, then it looks good.

I just don't understand why you seem so keen on making everyone else conform to your opinions. It really doesn't matter in the slightest, so drop it, and let the people actually making the map decide what they want to do.

[jcap]

Yeah, good point, you should probably stop posting.
Yeah, since I'm the only one who can think logically.


Because what you are suggesting is as dumb as putting a fully constructed Halo in the center of The Ark. Why not do it? Really, WHY NOT?

[Timo]

Because what you are suggesting is as dumb as putting a fully constructed Halo in the center of The Ark. Why not do it? Really, WHY NOT?

Because then there'd be nothing new in the sky to distract the players.

ahem*



I just don't understand why you seem so keen on making everyone else conform to your opinions.

Really, let the creators do what they want, stop forcing your opinions on everyone.

[jcap]

Can you answer my question though? (and you quoted my reason for why I care)

Because what you are suggesting is as dumb as putting a fully constructed Halo in the center of The Ark. Why not do it? Really, WHY NOT?

[Con]

jcap, I have two reference images that show that the clouds are clear enough to see to the other side. Because it's Bungie's work showing that, I think I can safely make the clouds clear enough to at least see things without going out of canon.

[Sever]

Hell, the clouds shouldn't even be there in the first place - there's no atmosphere between the planetoid and the Ark - when you assault the Ark's control room, it's completely not canon - there should be a massive retaining wall holding the atmosphere in, just like there is on the other Forerunner installations, especially the one that is being constructed at the time. Also, ever stop to think that this isn't the construction of Installation 04 (II), but just rather Installation 04?

[p0lar_bear]

To be a canonfag, then how the hell are UNSC SPARTAN-IIs fighting on it with THAT logic? :v:

Like I was saying earlier, why do we need an explanation? Why does everything need to be perfect emulation of Bungie's designs?

Artistic liberties, motherfucker, can we use them?

[rossmum]

All of you, shut the fuck up.

jfap, first up, this is MP. MP doesn't have to stick to canon entirely, just have some sort of grounding in it. Even so, there are points where you can see the core and right across the Ark in H3. Failing that, the average Halo player these days would be too busy crying about aimbots to give a shit, and they wouldn't have the intelligence to realise anything was a little screwy anyway.

As far as the lack of atmosphere goes, there's a difference between clouds and superheated gas clouds, duders. The shit around the core is the latter.

Almost done integrating mass' wall, and the new basement is done and (hopefully!) clear of any errors.

Expect another test this weekend.

Ok, I'm having a little issue here.

I compiled a new BSP, got it ingame and lightmapped it as usual. However, the game exceptions when loading the map in the up to date scenario file, but not in a new blank one.

However, the same scenario with the older bsp loads without issue.

Any ideas?

Right now I'm fucking around with recompiling it, noting that it seems to have been a huge file before, and after recompiling the same JMS it's a whole lot smaller, so I'll see if it was just a bad bsp compile(?)

There are no sapien issues.

Everything is fine in Sapien, but the map fails to load ingame. That doesn't make a debug.txt does it?

[Sel]

Ok

Guerilla is unable to load the bsp file, and stops responding if you try. Sapien loads fine, the bsp appears entirely fine in sapien. Halo crashes upon loading the map.

On a related, probably less important note, I was able to load the map ingame before running lightmaps.

Suggestions anyone?

note, this has a fov of ~100, far larger than halo's. Note the surface of the ark seen on one side of the inner rim. The arms of the ark will be added later.

[sevlag]

There is no backstory. i'm willing to come up with a believeable backstory to this map if you want, I'm pretty good at writing short stories and descriptions...after all everything has or needs a story to it

[rossmum]

Failing that, I wrote a 54-page epic for a short story project in Year 12 English (the goal was to try and make 3-4 pages, heh)... I could give it a shot.

Sounds like a plan...well i haven't seen the whole map but from the screens i can surmise how it will be, but isn't the main thing plauging the last few pages the fog itself...I myself don't give a rats ars if it has fog or not, i'm worried about playing the map and getting entertainment out of people crying "zomg bawt bawt bawt"

EDIT: since its taking place near the ARK i think i can whip SOMETHING up

[rossmum]

I think we should probably wait until it's a little closer to completion, so we can explore it and whatnot and figure out a fitting story from there.

dam dude. i like it. but at the same time, it's a big disappointment for me somehow. basically, i imagined a different set of textures on it. don't get me wrong, it looks really good. but it also looks like all of the other maps out there of similar style.

i say you edit your bitmaps to make it look different. use a different cliff wall, different grass, and mb add some details/ware/tear/grime to your structure's bitmaps. and choose a different sky...the whole sunset look is getting overused(no offense). i would use dark, deep coloration and a sick gloomy kinda sky. mb even add a little rain in there. just do something so it doesn't look like all of the other maps out there.

you can ignore this if you'd like, it's strickly a matter of opinion. i just think this has a lot of potential and it would be cool if you put some textures on it that were made specifically for your map. good luck, and if you want to try my idea - pm me and i'll try to guide you and mb help you a bit. good luck, and nice work so far.

Hell, I'd make the whole map's atmosphere extremely bright, washed out, windswept and bleached bone-dry outside, (Installation 00 sub-chapter of The Ark - even though it isn't on the Ark, you could still use those bramble plants everywhere too) and dark, humming, and alive inside - not ancient, like Installation 05, but finished with that region's construction and already fully functioning.

E: Looks like something is awry with Arteen's portals, since the old ones compile fine with the level, heh. Trying some stuff to fix them all up.

If you hadn't told me that was High Charity, I would never have guessed it.
It needs a lot more purple because atm, it looks like somebody gave the moon tentacles and grafted it onto the side of the halo (it looks like a freaking tumor in the sky pic below, why hasn't it fallen off or anything - move it)

Sooooo much happening in this pic. My main gripe though is the galaxy in the distance. Even if that's meant to be the milky way (idk, never played that far into H3 :v:), there is no way it'd be that bright by day (or visible at all, do you even see Mars or Jupitor in the daytime sky?).

You can see the milky way quite clearly from the Ark in Halo 3.

You're right, there is a lot happening in the sky. The ark is a very busy place, especially at the core. However, I think that once I adjust colours and brightnesses, the sky will start to come together almost as one. The problem right now is the contrast between the blue sky, the blackness of space, the nebula, the core, and the ark/halo. I need to somehow stick with two colours; orange/red and blue in an elegant way to help unite different elements together while keeping interest. I don't want the sky to be distracting. Put simply, nothing's balanced out just yet; I'm just in the creation phase.

It's a strato-sentinel. I've got a few of them floating around and a chain of them on the horizon.

[Con]

no, nothing moves

edit: reason being, if I try and make it realistic so that one thing moves, then I have to make everything move realistically. That's just not possible. I think it's best that a sky remains at a frozen time. For example, if I animate the dust clouds, it would only make sense to simulate the spinning of the halo, which isn't possible.

[Sever]

Fuck that. Make High Charity purple. Take out the Sentinels for now - they'll probably go back in later, but finish one step at a time. Make the sky your own - keep the milky way in, but don't go by the colors that you are given from any levels in H3 - none of them are from the same vantage or during the Installation's construction sequence, hence, having different atmospheric conditions. Note, however, that if you include the galaxy, you must also include more stars elsewhere in the sky.

People assume things have to be totally different in order to make it their own. I disagree, since the whole point of the saying is justify their intentions of being original. I'm not going to make it different for the sake of being different; my intentions are to keep things close to their Halo 3 counterparts. In that, I'm doing what I want, which is the point behind "make it your own". In saying that, it's more of a request than anything else. So, if you guys all want me to change it to purple then I will, but I won't be "making it my own". I respect canon and value realism, so my work has always been following these lines. Atmospheric conditions, on the other hand, I've already somewhat covered in my post about colouring.

I don't honestly think anyone's going to be playing the one game on the one map for more than a few hours, Con.

What things are any more important than the others?

Looks great! You should put the clouds on planes/triangles, give them alpha channels and have them slowly move across the sky.
I can guarantee it'll look cheesy for the lower clouds. Aside from being simple, static clouds can match light direction whereas moving ones would be constricted to a certain path to look right. However, I do plan on adding a scrolling cloud layer similar to Bungie maps.

Milky way looks a little weird right in the middle of the cloud below it.

Otherwise :D
Ok, the galaxy is just in that general area. I can move it around a little and see how it looks.

The area outside of galaxies is virtually devoid of stars.
While it's true that stars can only form in galaxies or clusters, I'd say the light from other stars or galaxies is still seen. Maybe the ark is in a small cluster, since there's a nebula there, but I won't be putting many stars in the sky.
http://www.ascendantjustice.com/files/cocop/The%20Ark/The%20Ark%20Large/OpeningShot1-large.jpg
How do the stars work anyway? Is it part of the shader? I don't think my sky model includes everything; it's based off a ripped timberland sky.

Things like the Sentinels should move. They'd look odd if they were totally static.

I'm still not really digging the inside band of the Ark. I'm not so creative so I can't really say what would go there... maybe some gaping interior that holds tech involved in the ring's construction? It looks so... dull compared to everything around it.

Put a little more emphasis on the orange gas. Way too white and clear right now, and way too little.

Also, two things:
1. High Charity on the ring makes no sense at all...unless this map miraculously takes place in the extremely short span between the time you activated the third tower and the time of the "two betrayals."
2. It looks way too clear. With the haze, that should be WAY more concealed, like it is at the end cutscene of The Covenant (you can just barely see it).

Also, why do the clouds seem low-res and stretched?

I think you mean on the ark. Yes, it takes place right after you activate the third tower. I don't think there's a problem with that.


2. It looks way too clear. With the haze, that should be WAY more concealed, like it is at the end cutscene of The Covenant (you can just barely see it).

I'll see what I can do, but I don't want the haze to be overwhelming.


Also, why do the clouds seem low-res and stretched?
You mean the clouds around the core right? It's just the big black turds that makes it obvious. I'm hesitant about making the textures any bigger since the sky tags together are over 20.8 mb. In fact, I should go back and see where I can use compression or 16 bit textures.

Actually jcap has a point. High Charity was only in the sky for a few seconds.

The problem with High Charity is that it looks like it's on a different layer than the rest of the sky. Looks like it somehow crashed without intersecting with the Ark.

[n00b1n8R]

Highcharity looks like it's floating ontop of the ring, not at all like it's crashed. I know you're going to try and fix that up, but might I suggest some way of linking the two parts together? perhaps there are flood tentacles tieing it to the ring?

I really have no idea how long HC was crashed (never played that far into H3 vOv), but something like that is needed to bring the two peices onto the same level.

ignore the odd line/seam, it only shows up in max for some reason. It's fine ingame. I also fixed the ark fins not showing up ingame; all I can say is use the mirror modifier on faces and not tools>mirror. The latter made the mirrored object go missing whenever I tried for some reason.

Also, this isnt a good representation of how things are located in the sky. The camera in the render is much lower than where the level would be.

What's going on with Halo in the backround? The ring looks like it's going up and then, there's a messed up intersection where it looks like it's tipped to a diagnal angle. /:| is that supporsed to be where it broke and is floating in mid-space?

It's The Ark (Installation 00), a massive foundry that constructs the Halo network, and also acts as a master control.

I've tried to keep up, but I don't own Halo 3, let alone want to play it until it comes out for PC. Pardon my unawareness and thank you for letting me know. +rep

I'm not going to spend hours waiting for this piece of shit to pump out low quality lightmaps.
I want this map to look as good as possible. I might be willing to run lightmaps for you, if nobody else on the team is going to bother. As I always say, proper lighting can make or break a map.

Have you fixed the clipping yet?

Did someone say clipping?

I'm going to run them for the final (or use aether), but my laptop would take ages to pump out even low quality ones, so I'm not gonna bother.

No

The map clips, fuck portals.


Also, Sever, I'll do that.

Why do the UVWmapped textures look so bad?

Maybe, Malloy, it's because they're sitting with placeholder textures all around them?

Your post wasn't very descriptive after all, so I can not tell what your issue is with them, or whether you are trolling me, or if you're serious :allears:
