Uhh...woah hi.

[Lightning]

*scratches head*

So I'm out for summer, found a CRAPTOOOOOOOOON of my lost tags and data, and figured I want to seriously try to finish up some maps.
BECAUSE LIGHTNING DOESNT FINISH SHIT. :<
*cough*

First on my list is Floodlab (http://xce.h2vista.net/portfolio/maps/floodlab.html), since Polar was so kind to portal that and help with a lot of things, but I wanted to get the opinion (if anyone still freggin cares) what I should focus on first.

Library:

Gravemind (this is getting a bit of an overhaul, outside area being scrapped):

Caves (namechange plz):

I know some of these screenshots really don't show much, and I have a few other maps too (Cairo and a few unfinished H2CE(lolololo) maps somewhere too...), but they are all I have handy. :/ I'm copying all of my data back now and hopefully will be able to get some more screenshots ASAP. I have a few other shots located here (http://xce.h2vista.net/portfolio/level1.html) (I don't know if Asylum would be possible to finish, Depends if we can find good ol' Neuro again!)

I'm actually leaning towards Gravemind, Not many people have seen that, and I really love the feel of Covie maps.

YOU DECIDE. I want to release these for H2V as well (since it's a 1-2 just-recompile-the-bsp-job), since I..guess people are starting to play it now?
If I get a "Yoshi" reply, I swear Doc. will be shot





oh also hi everyone.

[Cagerrin]

Gravemind, definitely. Not too many Covy maps around, and most if not all have terrible shaders, unlike what I'm seeing in those screens.

[ThePlague]

Pretty sick maps. I'd like to see them in h2v for sure.

[ICEE]

I'd really like to see that library one finished

[DEElekgolo]

Who are you?
You do cool stuff so I guess you're cool.

[Con]

Who are you?

are you serious?

is he serious?

[DEElekgolo]

The name is familiar but I can't tie much to it.

[rossmum]

The name is familiar but I can't tie much to it.
get out, just get out

hi lights

[SnaFuBAR]

ITT: Dee is a scrublord.

definitely release your stuff dude, why not. about time!

[p0lar_bear]

Lights, I swear to god I will drive to PA and beat you senseless if you disappear again without releasing anything.

I'm down for some Gravemind getting fixed up next I suppose.

[jcap]

So how's Asylum coming along after 5 years mmmmmmm?

Get started on it now and you might be ready for when Halo 3 PC is released in about another eternity!

[DEElekgolo]

Hi guys. I don't know a person so I should be looked down upon.

[Lightning]

jcap, stfu. <3

@Polar, I can probably manage Gravemind, but I know Library needs massive portals. :/ There are FAR too many polies in that thing without 'em, not not mention the damn map is huge as ever for anything less than 16 people.

[t3h m00kz]

Oh hey dude sup. Don't know who you is, I'm a late bloomer. But sup.

[Syuusuke]

Lightning does strike twice (more like 3 times actually).

!!!!

Ah, shit, Library. Forgot about that. I'll check to see if I have the source file you sent to me ages ago, if not resend it and I'll try to make some time to have a look at it.

It's funny, because his name is lightning :downs:

[StankBacon]

hi lights :D

[supersniper]

woah i must be dreaming?

[Siliconmaster]

Epic. Haven't seen screens of this stuff in forever- would be amazing if we got a release of these.

:v:

[Champ]

I still remember these maps from years and years ago. Also remember being promised that the H2CE maps would be released "soon". lawl

[TeeKup]

Lightning? It's been some time. Good to see you back. I wouldn't mind playing on a few of those. CE could use something new and refreshing.

[sevlag]

So this is the floodlabs I've been hearing about from time to time

anyways these look good, I'd say finish gravemind first, worry about Flood labs second, and I guess that cave map third

would be nice to see some decent additions to the HCE maps

[Limited]

Oh so you got make some new maps but wheres my blue falcon!!!

Just playing Lights, looks good though. :D

[InnerGoat]

Oh hey lights! Any ETA until we'll see you release your first map?

Finish up Yoshit and rainbutt road plz

[teh lag]

Finish Library first after Floodlab. It seems like the least work is needed to finish it; I'd hate to see the summer come and go with you using valuable time remodeling one map when another is sitting there in a much more complete state.

[Disaster]

I thought you died?

[Higuy]

I thought you died?
this

Also, Library. Looks sick, saw a video of it a while ago, finish it.

[DarkHalo003]

Wow these are great! I was wondering when Floodlabs would be finished ever since I saw Polar_bear bring it up some time ago.

My favorites just looking at them are Gravemind and "Caves." Keep it up!

[Amit]

Who are you?
You do cool stuff so I guess you're cool.

Wow...just wow.

Great stuff as always. I don't really get why you show up for a bit and then disappear to come back with stuff that resembles gold.

[Arteen]

I was thinking about bugging you to finish Floodlab and Library the other day, but figured you didn't care any more. Do Library first. Maybe consider revising its layout? Who did the Gravemind bsp? It looks familiar, but it definitely is lacking a layout. Also, I'd like you to release the H2CE maps you have. I remember seeing some neat ones.

[Con]

I think Snaf did the Gravemind bsp.

[SnaFuBAR]

I really don't remember if i did or not, since i did model all the high charity rooms. IDK if his is a rip or not but i don't recall giving him my bsp stuff.

that reminds me i keep forgetting to release that shit. xD

[Lightning]

Naw, Gravemind was me, part of the outside was a rip, though.

Snaf, I still have Hive stuff laying around, but nothing other than that.

[SnaFuBAR]

Oh GOD not hive ): that was some shit modeling and nobody can tell me different.

[Cortexian]

Haha wow, I remember playing a beta of Library a long figgan time ago... I think back when Haloimpulse was still around? Don't know.

[n00b1n8R]

I still remember these maps from years and years ago. Also remember being promised that the H2CE maps would be released "soon". lawl
Jesus Christ, first Lightning now Champ :v:

Library looks pretty, do that. Also any more pics on caves? I don't really have a clue what it's about from those pics >_>

[p0lar_bear]

Haha wow, I remember playing a beta of Library a long figgan time ago... I think back when Haloimpulse was still around? Don't know.

I have a video I made ages ago of an old build that got changed since:

v6YfUB45RKs

Awesome map.

[Timo]

I'll believe it when I see it !

[Champ]

Jesus Christ, first Lightning now Champ :v:

Ha. lol

I remember playing the old version of Library. Didn't it have some sort of secret room like thing? And I remember everyone going batshit over something. I think it was his pimped out hog and the nuke.

[p0lar_bear]

Ha. lol

Oh, yeah, THAT Library. Yeah, that was just the BSP from the first part of the campaign level with stuff added to it in an attempt to convert it to multiplayer, and there was the civihog in a secret area with the nuke launcher hidden in a certain vent. This version's an original layout with pieces taken from the campaign level.

[PenGuin1362]

Do you guys remember those stupid mario kart maps that some loser who never finishes anything was making? ....owait welcome back lightning

[Inferno]

And I thought I was slow making maps!

This guy is my inspiration for procrastination!

[Lateksi]

Legendary!
Also, ALL of those maps look friggin good!

Dear God. Touch me.....

[Reaper Man]

Release H2CE stuff, tia.

[MastaCheefa]

Hows the stache coming along? Pics?

[Champ]

MastaCheefa's still alive too! Funny how everyone comes out of the woodwork when one old face comes back. :tinfoil:

[Warsaw]

Release H2CE stuff, tia.

IAWTP. The last version never came out!

Also, welcome back Lights.

[EX12693]

Isn't library already released?

[STLRamsFan]

MastaCheefa's still alive too! Funny how everyone comes out of the woodwork when one old face comes back. :tinfoil:

Yea, we need a little get together real soon.

[PopeAK49]

For some reason I thought you stopped doing this stuff. I think I've seen gameplay of the library one on youtube but i'm not sure, it could of been a different level.

[Kornman00]

(Cairo and a few unfinished H2CE(lolololo) maps somewhere too...)
heh, I remember testing Cairo


Do you guys remember those stupid mario kart maps that some loser who never finishes anything was making? ....owait welcome back lightning
:ugh:, I remember testing mario kart maps. rec0 was still rec0 then too IIRC

[Kalub]

You mean Rosco?


Where is that rec0 exception gif lolz

Oh my god those are classic. And I still have that halovseminem video on my computer!

Edit: Probably because I downloaded it when you posted that thread originally. Lol.

[malolo420]

Whats with all the hating on DEE?
Why are a lot of people here haters?
What do you you guys think contributes to the world being a worse place?
What is the point of getting angry over stupid little shit?

But yeah, nice stuff dude.

[Rook]

he hides in the world of mw2

[TeeKup]

Whats with all the hating on DEE?
Because anyone that doesn't know who Lighnting is is a scrub :downs:
Why are a lot of people here haters?
I hate that word I really do.
What do you you guys think contributes to the world being a worse place?
Idiots acting like general idiots, like those that caused the recent oil crisis...also the sins and folly of man but thats a different story.
What is the point of getting angry over stupid little shit?
It's the smallest details that are the most important.

But yeah, nice stuff dude.

Yeah

[Kiwibird]

Oh hi Lightening, haven't seen you in awhile! Those look cool, glad to see you are releasing them. I remember Gravemind WIP pics way back.

Those were good times. I miss the place...:smith:

[Lightning]

@ Kiwi: Yeah, I haven't seen you in like.....


a month. <3

[SonicXtreme]

Long time no see lights, nice to see your still alive and well :D not talked to you in forever.


As for anyone that needs a history lesson Lightning is the texture artist for H2CE , possibly one of the best texture artists CE has ever had, plus hes made a bunch of stuff on the side, mostly nintendo stuff , hes helped out with alot of projects including H2CE,Metroid Online,Sonic CE, I think ages ago CMT (Dont hold me to that one), and a couple of others.

*Pops up from the middle of playing Borderlands*

Haven't been here in like forever, but wow, all the crazy good modders are suddenly coming back to life.

That is good.

edit: looks a lil clean and shiney. But im not complaining if its gonna be released :)

[Higuy]

Looks a bit to dark.. Otherwise, cool.

[LlamaMaster]

Way too dark; I can barely see anything.

[Syuusuke]

I think this is another case of monitor brightness because I can see them pretty well.

Pkus, isn't it supposed to be alittle dark?
