Finally got some semi-decent shaders working.

Medium draft radiosity, so excuse the discoloration. Other than the missing scenery, it's pretty much done. Spot the hidden item in the last picture, win cookies. It does actually work too.









Now stop pestering me to post this, Dr. D:

[Skyline]

You got the halo 1 health pack in halo 2 :0?

[Aeron]

hidden item eh, ummm.

theres a medpack dont know why we would need that.

i dunno just gimme the cookie!!!

[Masterz1337]

Looks great. Healthpack is nice, doesn't mean much unless you disabled recharging health. Oh, and top of bases are :X, can't wait to see it with the real shaders.

[PsychoRaven]

Not bad at all. Should be a fun map to play around with.

[Patrickssj6]

Ugly texture on the base :p

[InnerGoat]

Now stop pestering me to post this, Dr. D:What i'd never do such a thing. Good job though. :p

[teh lag]

Bloodgulch...


In Halo 2...

The world is ending.


It looks much prettyness though.

[StankBacon]

:'(

[SuperSunny]

Indeed! It is quite nice :P

[MasterChief2829]

Yeah just change the textures into Halo 2 style textures. It's cool that it's the same layout, but it should also look better.

[Abdurahman]

Yeh it looks cool. When I finally can take my H2V out of the closet(my dad put it there) I can play it when its done.

[X3RO SHIF7]

good job lights, looks better then cotton candy gulch XD (inside joke)

[SuperSunny]

An earlier build than the one in the screenies, but:

http://i10.tinypic.com/6fewm84.jpg

It's actually VERY nice, with all the lighting applied and such.

[Syuusuke]

Good ol' BG with some radiance.

[TeeKup]

Gj. But I hate bloodgulch. D:

[Snowy]

Dang, I if you release it, I sure hope half of the servers won't be running BG CTF just like in Halo 1 :-/

Good work on it though.

[m13120]

Nades are in the wrong place :|

[MasterChief2829]

Looks nice. How do you go about adding a Halo 1 map/bsp to Halo 2 like that? I'd love to mess around with Sidewinder.

[Syuusuke]

Take the BSP and export it as an .ass file and use tool and someone help me from here?

[Hotrod]

This looks very nice, but when you are done with this, could you possibly make Sidewinder, Timberland and Death Island please? They were my favorite maps

[Roostervier]

Um, you left out rat race and damnation. No worries though, I'm working on damnation, not sure about rat race yet, though.

Anyway, yes, it does look really nice in-game. Nice job lightning.

[bleach]

death island, timberland, and gephyrophobia are musts.

[Masterz1337]

Needs more desert island!

[bleach]

desert...island...? what is that supposed to be? LOL....dried up plateau with nothing surrounding it, no bases, no vehicles, no food or ammo. Only spartanz.

[Abdurahman]

Cannibal Spartanz!

[Roostervier]

desert...island...? what is that supposed to be? LOL....dried up plateau with nothing surrounding it, no bases, no vehicles, no food or ammo. Only spartanz.
I think it's that really small island with trip mines on it...

[phase]

death island, timberland, and gephyrophobia are musts.
Halo 1 on halo 2 ftw but no really those maps fail needs more ratrace chill out and hangemhighx :maddowns:

[Kornman00]

Fuck all the above said maps ^

Danger Canyon.

[soccerbummer1104]

lol, not a fav.. but i actually always enjoyed chrion...

[bleach]

i hated danger canyon;) :lol: Gephyrophobia, Sidewinder,

[Kornman00]

i hated danger canyon;) :lol: Gephyrophobia, Sidewinder,
I could so delete your post right now ;p

[DTS 7.1]

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

[Phopojijo]

Fuck all the above said maps ^

Danger Canyon.But... but... but... that was an above said map! o.o

P.S. Sidewinder.

[StankBacon]

danger canyon is the best map ever.

[phase]

Danger canyon fails, small maps ftw.

[JoeBlack]

NICE!!!
very nice job:D ,please keep hang'em high in mind.

[phase]

Some one needs to rip/recreate all halo 1 maps and put them in halo 2 vista so h2v players can play the classic crapynes.

[Agamemnon]

Danger Canyon with man cannons.

[Kornman00]

Danger Canyon with man cannons.
where :raise:

[MastaCheefa]

Bloodgulch with man cannons would be cool. Launch you from the base right to the tele exit.

DangerCanyon has to be ported. As well as Chillout. :D

[BobtheGreatII]

DangerCanyon has to be ported. As well as Chillout. :D

Someone would have to make the skybox go up higher so you didn't hit it :lol:

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

please try to keep same spawns as in regular bloodgulch, the coagulation spawns sucked ass

[Kornman00]

Actually you should just make the spawns right on top of each other so when the game starts, there is already a Tower :o

Viva el CE.

[X3RO SHIF7]

thats an awsome idea lol

i think he was talking about makeing a danger canyon map for halo 2v with man cannon

i say no

[Kornman00]

i know, I wanted to know where these so called man cannons would be placed in a map like danger canyon :raise:

where :raise:

maybe near the plasma turrets (down a touch though) to shoot up to the bridges/ledge half way across the map. wouldnt work too well, but danger canyon doesnt lend itself to mancannons...

[StankBacon]

there are plasma turrets in dc ?

[TeeKup]

He means the Shade Turrets that are on the outskirts of the base, over looking the drop in the terrain.

[StankBacon]

ive never played with them on O-o

[Lightning]

Hi.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v370/-Lightning/h2v/00033copy.jpg

Little update. Better shaders and I started population of scenery objects. Ignore the no-shader trees/bushes. :p

I also made the sky almost exactly the same as the original counterpart, with direction, fog color, and the like. It truly "feels" like Bloodgulch while you play it.

Edit: I also know the weapon spawns aren't correct. I just tossed them in there last minute.

[AAA]

I fcuking love the shaders on these new and improved H1 maps for H2V....but, I really think you should stick with the original textures..........Having fun with those trees much?...

Danger Canyon, Death Island, and Infinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST MAPS..............EVER.................by default

[Lightning]

I am using the original textures.


;) The shaders just make them look so much better. (Except the base floors have a bumpmap now, instead of just a detail map)

Edit: Anyone know how to get the map preview bitmap to work? No matter what I do, it never seems to show up in the main menu.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v370/-Lightning/mappreview.png

[StankBacon]

nice :D

[SMASH]

I think a new ground texture and some normal maps on the cliffs would be great.

[Patrickssj6]

Oh god slap him for that horrible AA

[Limited]

Lights, did you read the help file, there was a section about the maimnmenu map picture thingy.


Map Shots



http://www.h2vista.net/forums/Images/BrowseBlueLeft.png (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/LocationText.html) http://www.h2vista.net/forums/Images/BrowseBlueRight.png (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/ArchitectLauncher1.html)

Map shots are displayed when the level is selected in Halo 2. They are a representative screenshot taken somewhere in the level selected. You can add a map shot to your level with Sapien.
To create a map shot
In Sapien, open your level.
Position the camera in the Game Window, and then press ALT+PRTSCRN to take a screenshot.
The screenshot is placed on the Windows clipboard and can now be made into a map shot with any graphics program that supports an alpha channel.
For best results, maximize the Game Window when taking map shots.
To create a professional looking map shot, use the mapshot_template.tif template provided in the tools directory. The template is 220 x 207 pixels with a single pixel light blue border and an alpha channel. Crop your screenshot to fit within the template border, and then flatten the image and save it as a 32-bit .tif file in the data\ui\global_bitmaps\map_shots folder.
Before your map shot will appear in game you need to convert it to a .bitmap file with Halo 2 Tool. Map shots should be placed in the tags\ui\game_bitmaps\mapshots folder of your level. For details on how to convert the file, see the Import Bitmaps (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/ImportBitmaps.html) section.
When you first convert your map shot, you will get an error because the file is not in the right format. To fix the error, open the new .bitmap file in Halo 2 Guerilla, and then change the Type to interface bitmaps and the Format to 32-bit color. Save the .bitmap, and then convert your original image again. It should now compile correctly.
To assign the map shot to your level, open the scenario in Guerilla, and then scroll down to the Level Data header. In the Multiplayer section, you’ll see an entry for bitmap. Click Browse to assign your map shot to the level. Save the scenario and recompile the level to see your map shot in the game.

[Hotrod]

What would be cool is the original vehicle and weapon textures (Halo 1 Warthog, PR,etc...).

[TheGhost]

Lightning! Great work there, everything looks amazing. I'll probably be hitting you up later to borrow some of those shaders. :p

Anyways, I also tried to make a map preview picture - it was exatly like Nitro's that he made for example.map. I compiled it with my map, referenced in the scenario, but it didn't show up ingame.

[Lightning]

Same here, however before that "update" it would show that random H2 logo with the circuits behind it. Now it doesn't even show that. Same with Nitro's custom maps that I downloaded. I'm attempting to re-reference them now in the UI folder.

I just compiled his example map, and even that doesn't show up?

[bleach]

recharging health in Halo 2...interesting.;) How much of this map is done?

[Syuusuke]

gimme-gimme =)

[X3RO SHIF7]

yay all original textures ftw.

[bleach]

maybe you could upgrade this map in terms of looks by using Mudbox or Zbrush.:)

[DaneO'Roo]

please please PEEEEASE make a big high res normal map for the cliffs. :D Just to accentuate those cracks in the texture. Would look so awesome sauce.

[asian knife]

really nice man.

[Pooky]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v370/-Lightning/h2v/00032copy.jpg


The ring in the sky looks too big, is the texture scaled right?

[Lightning]

That's the normal Sky... I didn't scale anything.


please please PEEEEASE make a big high res normal map for the cliffs. :D Just to accentuate those cracks in the texture. Would look so awesome sauce.

Make me one and I will, LOL.

[DaneO'Roo]

ok, I will D:

[Reaper Man]

D: the textures look so low-res, remake them at a higher res, gosh.

[DaneO'Roo]

nah, hes running the game on medium. I can tell.

[Lightning]

Correct.

Here are some of Dr. huege-lawl High quality images for kicks.

[DaneO'Roo]

Use dem cliff bumps i sent yeh D:

That's the problem, you place it wrong. The ring should be perpendicular to the map so it doesn't look that big at any angle

[Roostervier]

Correct.

Here are some of Dr. huege-lawl High quality images for kicks.

Do the base walls still spew blood when shot ;p?

I just how the tank can still concur any surface :-3

[InnerGoat]

The tank is awesome. :-3

[phase]

Make me one and I will, LOL.
Or have mr Phase make a normal map with zbrush 3 in exchange for rep.

[DaneO'Roo]

You don't need Zbrush. Photoshop > all.

[Syuusuke]

I see lots of green =d

(It's populated completely, now.)

Ingame, multiplayer test shortly.

[et_cg]

Lightning, I've been playing with those map shots a lot. And no luck here. I've noted the example map doesn't even get an image even though it's referenced in the Scenario. Just as my maps are.

'hmm.

FriedMetroid: You obviously don't know that we cannot make new skyboxes for Halo 2. Skyboxes are from a model and various other tags. We can make a .sky tag to change coloring. But me must use the premade skies given.

Please do not be so critical about simple conversion. Lightning's using the Coagulation sky.

Complete and utter sexiness, Lightning.

[Kornman00]

It would be cool if nitro released some tags himself like new skies *hint hint*

[et_cg]

Or release all the tags that aren't covered in his NDA. *pokes*

[Syuusuke]

Hey, please?

Also, if Dr. didn't ask you, can you please, PLEASE raise the the roof...boundary=D

[InnerGoat]

I did ask, :)

[Syuusuke]

Ok then my post is just a reminder.

"Raise the roof" :highfive:

....uh, yea =)

[-£§- §age]

Valhalla.

[Syuusuke]

If you're hoping for that...
Go ask Conscarsforlife

[Shaunington]

You got the halo 1 health pack in halo 2 :0?

Its actually the H2 healthpack....

I dont know if any of you wer einto H2Xbox modding, but you could add spawns to the shared map files and it was a no-shader map with every object from the game. The healthpack was there.

Kudos

[SuperSunny]

Detail mapping on the cliffs :P Otherwise beautiful shader work!

[bleach]

nice job and pictures! But no pics of holding FRC, Sword, or those special weapons.:( Keep working on it!

[Pope]

OH SHI-

The awesome factor coming out of those pictures are making me shat bricks

[DaneO'Roo]

Things to be improved:

Bump maps on cliffs :P If the ones I gave ya don't look any good, just use the coag cliff ones, and make the height on them lol xtreme. It should tile just as much as the actual cliff texture should too, in exactly the same way, it's just the cliff texture made into a bump map pretty much :P

Moar polies on cliffs pl0x, make them better, the sharpness of them makes the lighting on the cliffs look wierd.

Base map, make it blend with the cliffs a bit better, i know it's bungies one, but It can be a bit better, possibly just darken the cliff texture a bit and that might do it, even.

and decoraters :P Lots of little pokey upey grass would be sick

other than that :awesome:

[Iggwilv]

I think I'm going to need a tissue the first time I play this map.

[Reaper Man]

Awesome work! Needs moar assault rifle with hi-res textures. <_< If h2v will let you.

Well take a shit on Mt. Rushmore and call me Jefferson...

I didn't get a chance to compile them yet, rofl. >>;;;

Agreed. I will do some mesh-smoothing.

I'm trying D: Also, the cliff shaders are still being worked on.

and decoraters :P Lots of little pokey upey grass would be sick

The effing decorator brush isn't working right D: I tried for like, two hours to get it to work.

other than that :awesome:

:smith: After I finish this, I absolutely refuse to work with the H2V engine for a bit. Last night, I was unable to even test my own damn map. I couldn't join the dedicated server that Jcap hosted (although everyone else could), I couldn't join Dr.'s private game (Yes, we both have gold), nobody could join my game, and then live wouldn't even sign me on anymore.

And yes, we've tried Hamachi.

So after this, I'm going back to CE, atleast until this issue gets sorted.

Also, thank you Doc, for editing my thread title, lol.

[InnerGoat]

Jcarp was being a carp and didn't put the map on the server. :saddowns:

Change the left click brush radius to 10 on the decorator brush, and just move while holding down the left mouse button a lot. It shows up in game, not sapien D:

the one and only BloodGulch!! I love this map. The new "BloodGulch" on H2Vista sucks.

[Syuusuke]

Ahh I was hoping to see something like that =D

[InnerGoat]

I just noticed your tree is the wrong way. Rotate it 180 degrees please and then rexport it. :D

[madworkz]

very nice :) Glad to see the best halo 1 map ported

[Kornman00]

no, i ported tutorial kthx :saddowns:


well...no, I didn't actually

:smithicide:

I say fix the lighting

[Teroh]

Lightning, congrats on the great work!

[InnerGoat]

I say fix the lightinglighting is far superior to the original. :mad: ;)

[Con]

eh, it does look pretty nice

[Con]

It's just the repeating detail map.

[Reaper Man]

You forgot to put the cubemap on the base.

[Lightning]

It's there, just toned down; a bit, too much, though.

[SMASH]

Is that the detail map on the cliffs that is making those fine lines? It almost looks like scan lines across the cliffs.

[InnerGoat]

Is that the detail map on the cliffs that is making those fine lines? It almost looks like scan lines across the cliffs.Those appear in CE also if you are using 16xAF...

[X3RO SHIF7]

looking great! would look alot better if you fixed the cubemaps though, and red base isnt suppose to be light grey

[et_cg]

Lightning, you've done a great job.

Now another reason for newbies to pick up Halo 2 and go, "omgz bungie did awesomezorz. Sauce."

[Masterz1337]

LIEK OMG That LUkS JUsT LIKE HALO 2!!!!1111

[Lightning]

!111!111 WTFFF HAAYLOW TOO?


Anyways .. >>;; the sun's location is fixed, along with the black rocks. I'll start the new lightmaps, and post images once completed.

[Terry]

I dunno. I find that the geometry needs a little shapening up here and there to atleast fit in with the halo 2 theme. Right now, it's far too jagged.

Other than that, good job! Alot of people (especially the competitive community) are going to love you for this.

[et_cg]

Lighmaps take forever now. lol

[Masterz1337]

With Jahrains system it's pretty fast. Et_CG, do you still have AIM?

Haha... too lazy. Couple clicks, I like your style.

Anyways, it's looking great. Looks like the adjustments are making Halo 2 feel like it's predecessor.

The BSP is somewhat different in places. That cutout area that is right behind him is no longer there. :o

Which I accidentally removed =x. It'll be there in the next build.

Black rocks are (hopefully) fixed now.

[Digikid]

which one is Tuckers Rock? :P

[DaneO'Roo]

no, dont give them the original gulch rock bitmaps. Give the rocks the same bitmap the cliffs have. So they blend into the ground and change the base map slightly where the rocks are. It'll look more win.

[AAA]

Wrooonng. Give them Gray rock Textures, if you have to. The original Rock Textures from Blood Gulch will be Awesome. Would look more original and keep it classic ;)

and I hope the sides of the red base are still shiny

dont mess with the BG <:mad:>

[Warsaw]

I just have an issue with the top of the cliffs. Their jagged edges make them look too low-poly.

[jahrain]

You should run a smooth poly operation on most of the map except the bases. It would make everything look a whole lot better.

[Patrickssj6]

http://www.guy-sports.com/fun_pictures/lightning_2.jpg, you can do better then that.

[et_cg]

You all should just deal with it and watch what Lightning does. Perhaps he'll ask for input on his next showing.

At least that's what it looks like.

The only way for anyone to get in is if they get invited to go in, and someone has to be in it, unless the LIVE account that's used in the dedi can send out invites.

Actually, it's VIP, and I'm the only gametag on the list. D:

I'm still trying to get it set up, it's running under a second user account on my PC, and I can't connect to it? =x

Users trying to connect to a Dedicated server on Live that is on their own network are not allowed to do so.

But, I thought they said as long as the LIVE accounts used are different (and are different computers) then you can join it. =(

you should put my gamer tag on there ;) i'll make sure its working for you :P...but yea...i tried to do the same thing and it wont let you connect to a server that you are hosting from your computer.

Either from your own computer or network, I've read about this BS. Because it is BS in my opinion. I might be wrong. So please prove me wrong.

From what I understand is you cannot be sharing the same IP address with a dedicated host. Too many risks involved.

I run a ded on my network and can join it. That should prove it :p

[et_cg]

Is that dedicated server for Live? Or just for local.

Said network, probably meaning LAN, so that isn't really valid. You don't need Live for LAN.

Yeah, that's what I was guessing, was just an innocent LAN server. Aside all that, I think this thread just needs to be left for Lightning's progress.

No it's Live, everyone can join it, including myself. U wanted proof, there u go.
