Obviously, this is a rip.

[Sel]

fucking rippers


and cool

[klange]

Only map worth ripping. Props to Sam.

Also, you missed a pic in your attempts to [shot] them all.

[mech]

I'd play this, looks well ripped.

[SonicXtreme]

lol if i got hold of it , id make a PV for that , Ivory towers my fav H2 map :O

[killer9856]

cool dawg

[sevlag]

i think this is by far the best rip i've evar seen

[leorimolo]

Couldn't anyone be able to make a mach with open sauce, I mean just grab said object and change its coordinates slowly so it moves up shouldn't be too hard.

Edit Amazing map btw, and I say this for the elevator.

[STLRamsFan]

I'd totally play this. Despite my dislike for Halo 2 and 3, I liked the layout of Ivory Tower.

[Alwin Roth]

The ladder seems too big, can you change the skin of it or something?

[Inferno]

The ladder is the only thing that looks bad. Everything else is perfect.

[Siliconmaster]

I'm very impressed. Looks nice in CE.

[Masterz1337]

If anyone here who has experience with device machines, me and sali figured out how to make the lift work and sync, we just need someone to do it. Any one interested?

You know, you could use a marker on the bottom of the biped, and set it to activate a damage effect by script when in the trigger volume around your lift. That would sync like our Gravity Boost does.

At least, that SEEMS feasible..

[paladin]

WHO gives a shit about ripping, thats so two years ago. Its not like he just has to click a button and its done. He did a good job making in look good.

Isn't that how Jahrain's lift worked in one of his beta maps, but lagged everyone out?

[PopeAK49]

I guess this makes Dsal a one man zteam :allears:.

Your posts get worse and worse everyday.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

FINALLY

[Horns]

Looks good mate.

[ThePlague]

:hay: Very good sir.

[Llama Juice]

No beta no pruf.

[Masterz1337]

DSalimander: inform llama that
DSalimander: No guarantee that it won't be leaked no beta.

[Lateksi]

Can you walk up stairs if you haven't got much speed? I always hated how you have to gain some momentum to walk up staircases in H1.

[ThePlague]

If he added an invisible plane over the steps it'd be just like walking up a ramp. Hopefully he did.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Definitely not bad, but id personally rather play it with the halo 2 equipment, oh well. I, hope some people will be hosting this

[hry]

Very nice, but not release a public beta, only the final version.

[Warsaw]

Needs the H2CE weaponset. Otherwise, beautiful!

[PopeAK49]

Your posts get worse and worse everyday.

lmfao, I only posted today.

[StankBacon]

Needs the H2CE weaponset.

fuck no.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Out of all the halo 2 tag sets, those were the most incomplete ones

[UnevenElefant5]

Never really liked ivory tower that much. Looks great anyways.

[Warsaw]

Out of all the halo 2 tag sets, those were the most incomplete ones

But also the ones that worked the best. All of the ripped/overaccurately modeled ones were screwy in the way they handled. Hits never seemed to register properly, recoil animations were all wrong, first person origins didn't work with the centre reticle and 4:3 screen ratio.

The H2CE ones worked flawlessly for me.

[SnaFuBAR]

Sorry if I'm totally unimpressed. I mean, it's a straight rip with some shader work and a hopefully syncing lift.

[Ki11a_FTW]

btw, title says Ivory Tower CE meaning custom edition

Nothing is custom here :|

[PopeAK49]

Snaf, these shaders are not just basic from what I've seen, but I'm not sure if you ever seen the difference between the lighting in this ivory tower and the halo 2 one, but this version has better lighting and such. But I do agree with you of the whole rip and and syncing thing. He has pics of the different lightings somewhere, I just don't feel like looking for them.

[Futzy]

The lighting in this is significantly better than that in Halo 2.

[AAA]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnn.

I look forward to this

[Siliconmaster]

Impressive. Most impressive.

[PenGuin1362]

reminds me of that custom ivory tower i made for masters like 2 years ago...never did end up using that... Like snaf said. nothing really impressive but at least you took the time to make the shaders look nice and do decent lighting.

[Reaper Man]

Looks pretty good, though the ladder is terrible.

Isn't that how Jahrain's lift worked in one of his beta maps, but lagged everyone out?
Iirc, they lagged out because there were so many particles being emitted from the lift that had to sync.

[Masterz1337]

I highly doubt you could do better, or anyone else in this community for that matter.

[SnaFuBAR]

Gel maps impress you?

[Ki11a_FTW]

or anyone else in this community for that matter.

Dont get carried away, im not saying i dont like the map, it looks great, but in all seriousness its not at all hard to do what he did

edit- to sync the elevator thing, you could crush a biped every time a certain number of seconds, sleep 66, being 2 seconds, and every time just have it play the moving animation

Edit again- just read your earlier post, i just IMed you

[legionaire45]

I love this drama bullshit. This round will be amusing.

I thought everyone got over ripping Halo 2 content years ago and started ripping Halo 3 content instead? :eyesroll:

I suppose the lighting looks nice. Really the only thing that is actually your content that I can comment on. I'm sure the device machine gravity lifts will be lovely too. Yawn.

[hry]

Awesome job, why always ripping drama? Nubs.

[Masterz1337]

Well no ones done it >_>

[Chainsy]

God forbid we can just enjoy a good map that will be fun to play on and keep the nails from going into hce's coffin even faster.
God forbid we can just comment and move on and not start a fight on who is better and how cheap this person is or how skilled that one is.
Seriously, just the shut the fuck up, yall are getting on MY nerves, and that is just pathetic seeing as I do the most annoying shit around here.
He ripped it.
It looks nice.
Nothing amazing, but good.
5 servers will play it then it will fall into the faceless heap of other maps
The end.

[p0lar_bear]

Ugh. You guys. Seriously. If there's anything I hate about this community, it's the incessant BITCHING about ripping. Can it before I start deleting accounts. :cop:

As said, nothing super special and groundbreaking, but it looks good. At least he put the effort into making sure it looked true to the original, if not a little better.

[n00b1n8R]

Nothing is custom here :|
(it means it's Ivory Tower for Halo: Custom Edition which it is, hth~)

Nice looking map,

[Heathen]

noob is cool for that parenthetical.

[.Wolf™]

Looks perfect.

[Inferno]

Make me want to do a remake of another halo 2 map.

I'm thinking a midship remake that's not LOLSHINY.

[Cagerrin]

Make me want to do a remake of another halo 2 map.

I'm thinking a gemini remake that's not LOLSHINY.
ftfy

Seriously, whoever did the shaders for midship and gemini(which never got released) did then completely wrong.

Have you ever heard of a BETA map and temporary shaders? There's a reason the maps weren't released in that state, and it's because they were unfinished.

And a little forum tip for you, if you are going to "fix" somebody's post then at least bold the edited part, don't make people search for it.

This is probably what will happen. I don't see Ivory Tower being a good map for CE gameplay.

Midship was released with shiny shaders, and I've really no reason to assume Gemini's were going to be changed.

True enough.
