View Full Version : Advertise in my H2V map!



Zeph
October 21st, 2006, 02:15 PM
In my upcomming H2V map, I have many places where I plan on having advertisement like bitmaps all across the place. In CE, things like this have gone exceptionally well, so why not start H2V out the same way. If you're interested in providing an advertisement, the go ahead and post it in this thread. I only have a few guidlines, and even then, there's no 100% guarantee that your ad will get put in the final build. The only rule is that it must be 512 pixels wide and 256 pixels tall.

The map will be set indoors at night, with the main source of illumination being offset overheat florescent lighting. In the current build I'm working on through CE, the ads are two-sided, transparent, and render only. So, you can give me an alpha channel as part of your ad if you want. Multipurpose maps are a big plus. I hadn't planned on it, but I do suppose that I could give shader lumination properties to some/most/all of them and get some more color on the walls/floor/other-things-you-dont-know-about-yet.

If you want to submit an ad, then save a copy as a .tif file and put it in a rar or zip archive and hold on to it. Also, save a .jpg, upload it to a host, and post it in here. I'll contact you personally to get the archive. You are free to submit as many as you wish.

who would download a map with ads?
thats like downloading spyware on purpose.

Zeph

O_o

Yeah, you've definately downloaded spyware when you downloaded New Mombassa Classic, Municipality, etc.




edit: This isn't anything like the 2142 stuff going on. It's something like Yoyorast saying, "Hey, I wanna advertise yoyorast Islan, so I'm gonna take a screenshot and photoshop the name on there," etc.

Oh, I know a good group to advertise, I'll post the pic later.
The Group Name is This Spartan Life, I've yet to find the right pic of the logo they use, but I found one that will work for now,

If there is plenty of time, I will definitely have something for the up and coming Greysplatter Productions in December. Would it be too much of a problem to have an animated shader set up for the signage?

If you still have the max file, you should render more of the body to flush it out to a 256 pixel height. Or, if the origional psd had more, just crop out a slice the size I'm lookin for.

If you put ads in it should be like CS:S. Companys, forums, and game-releated advertisments.

You should throw in a few MLG Posters, I'll give you some. I'm pretty sure MLG is going to carry H2V, if not they will still work out fine.

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/291/355335356jjjyz0.png

Yeah, use that. It both advertises MLG (The CAL of Halo 2) and has me in it. :D

I really thought I mentioned this, just it seems that I didn't. They need to be something similar to what you'd see in a public place. Say if you were going through a train station or airport. Perhaps various underground train terminals.

Well considering it's Halo 2, I figured it would make much more sense if the pictures related to the Halo universe.

If it's free, then I suggest putting it up on eBay. The X800 gets a better benchmark then it does, and the X800 is supposed to be a cheaper and more innefecient card. If it's got cooling coils, then it's best to just chuck it out the door right now, because that baby will burn if your cover isn't off and you're not pointing a fan at it, even when you play the simpliest of games.

... um, first of all it was free, and my old x300 sucks ass. Second, why? It works fine.

It's a terrible card. Just accept that fact. It gets out performed by cards half its costs, that fact alone is sad.

"to look to the future, you must look to the past" or words to that effect (as this will be in H2V, this can promote halo CE more since it will be taking a shit and dying...)

Its 432x256. So I hope that is ok, I couldn't do a perfect 512x256 because the original file dementions where 1063x640, pretty obscure but I got it within the perameters.
