Advertise in my H2V map!

[Zeph]

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.

[DOMINATOR]

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.

[Stealth]

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?

[Rescudo]

I might have an advertisement in December... :)

[TheGhost]

Throw some

http://www.h2vista.net/forums/h2images/headers/h2vistanet.jpg

in there. :p

[Zeph]

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.

Sorry, I had to

I take requests for simple ones to be made.

[Atty]

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

[Zeph]

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.

[Stealth]

Lol, I'll try to get a Good one for TSL, because TSL is a Halo 2 Filming crew, and they are very good.

[Agamemnon]

Is there a limit to how many we can do? Cuz, you know, I am remembered for the picture spammorama... ;)

[Timo]

You are free to submit as many as you wish.

[Agamemnon]

Oooh, guess I missed that. Picture spamoramma, here I come!

Go ahead with a picture spamoramma if you want, but to make the most of it, take heed of that.

[Agamemnon]

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

Heh, well, all the ads are done by ONI's Section 3 group, which is responsible for propaganda; I thought it fit in well.

It does when you up the contrast in Photoshop. ;)

Word of advice; take back the X1600. Now. For the love of God, take it back before you suffer any longer.

This man speaks truth.


http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/291/355335356jjjyz0.png
^^^^ That is a must for all H2V maps.

[Agamemnon]

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.

[Atty]

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

LMFAXDROFLLOLOLLAWL.

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

[Neuro Guro]

So , Uh , Yeah...

Is teh pronz allowed? :hump:

[Atty]

Only if its of you.

Bio can you please try to think a little more along the lines of a real advertiser? no actual person would say they are the poon master unless they really were! but we all know that Beavis is the poon master.

[Leiukemia]

What about like advertising myself. Naked pics? Actually, scratch that. How about advertising some of my models, for future recruitment etc?

The concept is nice, but the text and the render are lousy. Plus, if this is for Halo 2, shouldn't the marines be the Halo 2 version, same with the Master Chief?

[n00b1n8R]

if i could make some sexy shots of halo maps, and impose something along the lines of

"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...)

yes no mb?
n00b out

ps. any sugestions for things to say?

xterox, dont Quadruple post, theres an edit button for a reason...

Also, I'm going to edit in my mapping teams banner.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/TomClanceuy/Sonic_Online_Logo_Resize1.jpg

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.

[klange]

if they are 2 sided... wont everything be backwards on the backside.....

[TomClancy]

No, when its 2 sided, it is exactly like that, but mirrored so it can be read. 3ds is smarter than you know. =)

Shouldn't be. If there's going to be a problem, it'd be with the sheer amount of alpha layers that are going to be involved with this.

[TomClancy]

Hmm, So is the STHO going to be in it? Even thought its not 512x256? Itd likr 473x256?

(I know its probably rude to ask, but I'm just curious, and I thought STHO would get more views etc.)

you could always just increase the canvas size, leaving the image intact.

[TomClancy]

Right before I posted I thought of that xD. I'll repost the image in a min.
