And this is why Halo 2 Map creation sucks.

Bungie's FAQ:

Q: Will it be possible for players to create their own campaign or co-op levels for Halo 2?
A: No, the user-created content tools are exclusively for multiplayer maps and game types.


The answer to why it is not the best for "Potentially uber awesome maps."

Exclusive to "maps," and "game types."

Hmm, did they really mean that? I guess so.

I hope we won't get bartered for extracting Bungie's tag set when the availabilty, if it ever does, go public.

and the answer to this problem is to wait a year, or two for some one to hack it and make it so you can.

well i had enough excitement trying to crack and unlock some things in sapien myself for ce. its obvious as to what to do now isn't it?
wait for prom :P and hopefully exporters that work with everything. and tools that allow you to mess with everything. wigets, huds, fonts, vehicles, bipeds ect

[Rob Oplawar]

oh noes i can't wait for prom, cause that could still me more than a year away. i want this map out in 6-8 months, and i'm gonna need an sp capable sapien in at least 3 if it's gonna be on time.

I suppose I can populate the levels as mp and then switch over the sp/mp flag when I'm able, but that's assuming it's the same as ce, and that leaves out the most important part, which is ai placement. placing those ais is going to take months.

Great to see you on the forums Et CG.
And yeah, H2V sucks as far as custom content goes.

[Stealth]

Oh and one more thing, I think that some times it's better to make a few MP maps first, then SP maps, SP maps tend to be harder to make then MPs, and until Prom is released, or some one hacks H2EK, you can make MP maps and learn how to use the tools given to you.

[Masterz1337]

Stealth, you don't know who et_cg is..... He hardly needs to make MP maps to learn how to make a map.

[Stealth]

...
Ok, for some of us, we need to learn MP maps first.
is that better?

[Masterz1337]

No.

[Elite Killa]

I was wondering this. Even though there's the Silenced SMG, can you still create new weapons and vehicles and such?

[SMASH]

No. Guerrilla is limited to what you can compile in tool (levels).

[et_cg]

Well, I hope at least this movement will force people to become uber-map artists in the meantime. With awesome gameplay. I've got a couple test's I'm working on, and they're all open beta.

I don't think advertising another site is what I'm allowed to do, but I want you all to know, that any posts I make at http://killacg.chaosfusion.com/

I'll make here.

If you want some hosting space for a map too, I'll help out.

Anyways, H2 Map creator sucks, as I stated in the title. Haha.

I've missed this community. Good times.


PS: When you go to the site, its up to you what you click. Click the first It for the forums.

Pffft, its et.

You never skinned my vehicle did ya :( :(:(:(

Also, who says some one will release the hacked editing kit? who says some one will try? Perhaps its too limited to bother.

[et_cg]

Yeah sure, I'll lie to you and tell you I finished it.

Actually it was lost in a magnet project of mine.

It was really a freyed IDE cable. I hate IDE now. SATA ftw.
