timberland meets death island...
betas will be soon!

[NuggetWarmer]

yay yay yay yay yay

[SnaFuBAR]

oh nice

[Cortexian]

This looks pretty interesting, though I don't really see the "Timberland" part of it yet...

[Ganon]

looks alright so far

[Mythril]

Looks good, but I would suggest moving the trees closer to the cliff edge.

[TEMPTii]

it resembles X2_Mudslide O: but very nice :D

[StankBacon]

wat

[TEMPTii]

X2_Mudslide

[neuro]

wow i didn't kow anyone actually made that into a map.

i remember someone posted a rar with Gmax files of the maps he made, even before halo CE was out, because he got tired of waiting for hce.

to con: don't you think that'll end up being a total sniperfest?
large open maps with not much to block view end up with poor gameplay 90% of the time. it's propably to early to tell now, due to the lack of scenery though, jsut try to keep it in mind :3

[FRain]

yay geomar you've been drawing it for what 3 years now

[rossmum]

Oh shit yes, bro

[UnevenElefant5]

Looks good, but that forerunner thing on the right at the shoreline looks really unstable.

[Siliconmaster]

Very cool.

Well, if it's like most forerunner structures it extends underground, so it could be quite stable. :)

Is dat sum tunnel action I see?
I love tunnels, more maps need them they look cool D:

[L0d3x]

Looks a tad "wide open", although pretty. Can't really make a good judgement about it yet.

[n00b1n8R]

There seems to be plenty of hills/ditches to provide cover and create firing lanes, especially if you take the tunnels as being big enough for a hog to drive comfortably though.

Can we get something for scale Con?

[Con]

I'm gonna add just a couple little hills for cover, but most of the cover will come from the trees and rocks. When I first imagined this map, there was a literal forest in the middle of the map. I don't want it so thick that you cant fight without walking into a tree, but it's meant to be a bad place to drive vehicles. I'll get some more screenshots when I'm back today.

[Mass]

I think that bridge looks rather odd, but everything else looks really cool.

I can definitely see some quality game-play once it's littered with boulders and pines.

[Sel]

what the fuck


fuck you conscars


texture rev


:saddowns:

[Higuy]

Am I the only one wanting to see pictures of the structures up close?

[sevlag]

Am I the only one wanting to see pictures of the structures up close?
nope

[Ki11a_FTW]

Wow conscars, look even more amazing now that you textured it :iamafag:
cant wait to play!!!

[paladin]

Moar pix :ohboy:

[Con]

e: wondering why im getting open edges on render only faces (the waves)
e2: raging. long story short, a bunch of random faces got assigned a render only material somehow and tool is now giving me open edges for them all. I have to re-uv them unfortunately.

[TEMPTii]

*Wants to see structure as well*

[Con]

so I fixed all the errors except for a z-buffered triangles error when it tries to do collision. I can't find them, though, and the wrl shows them all at the origin as little cubes. wat.

e: I also have "vertex #0 has a bad point" when verifying collision geometry.

[Siliconmaster]

It shows them all as little cubes? Hmm. For me it will show some as those, but others where they should be. The cube ones disappear when the others are fixed.

And I wasn't aware that there was a vertex #0. o_0

bsp is to big, i had the same problem with wet dunes :saddowns:

[Con]

alright lets do this

idgi?

[Con]

me neither
heres that structure for you

[TEMPTii]

Although that is a nice structure, we want to see the bases O:

[Con]

the base:

[TEMPTii]

o.o Thats odd. But I couldnt have done any better...

[n00b1n8R]

That's all a WIP right?

[Hunter]

I REALLY like that bridge type stucture. Looks awesome.

[paladin]

Looks like buttsecks

[Con]

I think I'm going to change the ground map a bit to look more like bloodgulch. I like how it looked in the first build I made (see above), and the one I have now is kinda boring.

[Ki11a_FTW]

I personally liked the one you have no, the browner dirt goes better with it imo, since its a forest\ocean map.

But its your call :v:

[Con]

the orangy sand will blend into the light beach sand. Right now it feels too much like danger canyon, and I hate danger canyon >_>

e: hunter, I can't take credit for that bridge design. I just copied the lightbridge room structure and made a bridge out of it.
http://con.modacity.net/ref.jpg

e2: alpha testers found that..


the bases were a little difficult to traverse as paths were narrow.
players need to be encouraged to fight away from the base
vehicles need to be restricted to the beach path
grass underwater is silly

[Sel]

WHY WASNT I INVITED???

:saddowns:

[Ki11a_FTW]

because your not in the A team

[InnerGoat]

looks like a very nice map con keep up teh good work :) :)

[SnaFuBAR]

right now, combat seems a little restricted to a certain area, like i told you earlier. it was fun, though.

[.Wolf™]

Base looks Portent-Deathislandish..or something like that^^

[Lateksi]

I want to slide down the base tower!
