[Video] Church

[CrowPath]

sRuNjz1ZTPY

High quality version (45MB): http://www.earthenrecords.com/church/church.wmv

Note that it now actually looks slightly better than it does in the video, since I'd only run 10 secs of radiosity on it at that point. There's a lot more colour from the windows and teleporters in the final version. I'll be changing the page on my site tomorrow with new hi-res pics of the final map.

[Bastinka]

Omigosh 1st post!

Very nice!

EDIT: The sound of the music could be better :S

The high pitched parts hurt my ears.

[Archon23]

Wow how long has it been since you started working on this? Looks fucking awesome can't wait to actually play it

[OmegaDragon]

Crowpath, YOU ROCK! Awesome job on the map. I can't wait to have that on my maps folder *drools*

[Limited]

Amazing work crow

[Dole]

All hail the King of bumpmapping in Halo.

[CrowPath]

btw, I like that song, whats it called and who's it by?
The main song is 'Ulver - It Is Not Sound' and I made it segue into part of one of my own tracks for the end.

[SuperSunny]

Good Work Crowpath! So many years and it's finally ready!

I give my lighting approval : )

[DaneO'Roo]

yeah, the lighting looks amazing. I was doubting it was really halo until I seen the MC :P

[Lightning]

Ohai thurr.

[Love De Lux]

Yeah same for me. That's just amazing. +rep crow you rock :)

[Bad Waffle]

all of the music is win. And as always, the level is amazing. Is there any chance of somehow learning more about this music?

[DaneO'Roo]

[Llama Juice]

Some nub is going to see this and be like "Wow, Halo CE is really good!"... you're setting the bar too high for the rest of us! hahaha

That same nub will play the 435987 box maps out there and go back to PC :(

In other words... Your map is beautiful.

[CrowPath]

Back as promised with 18 brand new shots of various scenes in 1280x1024. I'll be adding more later on.

[Anton]

That looks incredible man, good job!

[et_cg]

The shaders pwn ass.

Almost anything can pwn ass.

The detail in this is complete win. Epic win. Completely epic win.

I'd say the time it has taken you to complete it was well worth it. A beauty in its own.

:claps:

Just right click >Save as. :P

[Dr Nick]

I wonder if there's any easter eggs in it. Either way, this is gonna at least be as good as Yoyorast Island, if not better! Good work, I can't wait to play it!

[OmegaDragon]

And if there are, that it wont ruin the game when some noob goes in and yells, "HAI! WHARE IS TEH SECRET ROOMZ???!?!" or server named "PaRtY In ThE SeCrEt r00m!" Like yoyorast island.

[Archon23]

More of runway. Many people I know didn't like yoyorasts secret room due to the fact there was no music :v.

[t3h m00kz]

Dude, wow. You managed to pull of some really nice visuals for the H1 engine.

Good job.

[Con]

Don't exaggerate. Of all the games I've seen on Yoyorast, only about 15&#37; are stunts/secret room. People think that secret rooms kill maps..well only if the secret room is better than the map itself or provide an unfair advantage. Little secrets like that add replay value because it applies to the broader spectrum of Halo players and will be popular with a lot more people.

[Archon23]

Wait it killed Mons? I never had a game where anyone went into the secret room. It was all serious games......that is until it stopped getting hosted.

Completely killed runway though. No such things as real games on that map now.

[Hunter]

awsome textures bump maps, and cubemaps. it looks awsome.

[et_cg]

There's no easter eggs. You just have to find the "Golden Warthog."

I'd suggest going to a place where they install your skin. Like a computer shop. And pay 21.99. If you pay more or less they lied. [/noob]

[beele]

This map is awesome, you are the king :cool:

[ICEE]

that is beautiful

[AAA]

That's gonna hurt my computer...

But, still :awesome:

Not video related, I know, but this'll be the last update before release so I thought I'd stick it in here rather than make a new topic. I've changed the cubemaps for the MC, oddball, flag and both the PP and PR. You can really see the difference when it's moving. I've left the visor the way it was though, since it doesn't look good with anything too specific on it. Only things left to do are sound and gametypes.

[Love De Lux]

You rock. :)

[t3h m00kz]

I'd suggest putting the updated photos on the front page, so people can see them ;)

Also, if you're looking for a custom announcer pack, I've got a few ones ripped from Unreal Championship 2 that I can E-mail to you... That is, if you're looking.

[ICEE]

NO no custom announcer. i mean i wouldnt use it, it is totally up to crow, but it ruins halo's style if good ol 'Mr. Slayer' isnt around

[Vernancelet]

Will there be like a hell part of the level with some boss you can take down? That would be awsome :D

[Pooky]

NO no custom announcer. i mean i wouldnt use it, it is totally up to crow, but it ruins halo's style if good ol 'Mr. Slayer' isnt around

I like the Halo 2 announcer a lot better, if I was going to use a custom one I'd use that one D:

'Flag taken' gets on my nerves a lot less than 'RED TEAM HAS THE FLAG, RED TEAM STILL HAS THE FLAG, WILL BLUE TEAM PLEASE RETURN THE GOD DAMN FLAG'.

[DaneO'Roo]

Oh fuck yeah, Maps almost released D:D:D:D:D:D:

[Con]

NO no custom announcer. i mean i wouldnt use it, it is totally up to crow, but it ruins halo's style if good ol 'Mr. Slayer' isnt around
yes. I remember one of SVC's maps had custom announcer, the voice actor him of course. Oh god :suicide:

[ICEE]

UMT uses a custom one that sounds BAD. its gotta be the normal one. h2 is ok i guess, and if somehow you get your hands on halo 3 voice work then by all means use it

[AAA]

Will the Assault Rifle and flag have the resoration pack put on them? so they'll be shiny too? I don't like a no shiny Flag/Assault Rifle...surroundings would make it look like crap. I hate that...

EDIT: btw, the more Shiny MC looks........So cool o.o

[Digikid]

I am REALLY looking forward to this.

Can you PLEASE also make it for H2V?

[Botolf]

Woah, very nice. Any idea when you might release it?

[CrowPath]

This week.

[Limited]

:O Cant wait, I bet crowpath gets a TON of rep from his release thread, and he deserves every rep point he gets :)

[DaneO'Roo]

OH FUCK

[teh lag]

This week.

Holy crap, awesome. This project has been going on for years.

[DaneO'Roo]

This will be EPIC.

[Love De Lux]

This week ? Oh god, my life is now complete.

[Archon23]

I CONCUR WITH THE LAST FIVE POSTS!

[Botolf]

Wasn't really expecting an estimate like that! :hyper:

[Amit]

OMG those shaders are FTW!

[Xegrot]

This week.

:O

EDIT: Say goodbye to Halomaps's bandwidth.

[STLRamsFan]

Sounds good, hope the map is as good as it looks. :)

[AAA]

Say goodbye to Halomaps's bandwidth.


omfg, no kidding. :XD:

[nooBBooze]

:o

[CrowPath]

The map will be released later on today. There's actually quite a large difference in how certain things look now compared to the video. The final radiosity has really changed the look and feel of the areas around the windows and teleporters. I'll be updating the pics on my site with final versions of those scenes, as well as adding some new ones. I've also made a new cubemap for the MC, so he looks even better than in the pics above, and I've applied that to all the relevant weapons, including the pistol this time.

[Patrickssj6]

Good.

ZAMAZING!

[Love De Lux]

oshi

:awesome:

[Teh Ganon]

Yeah... this map is just gonna be awesome. ill be hitting the refresh button on halomaps till i see it lol.

[Digikid]

I will be more than happy to host the file for you as well Crowpath.

Expect a fast mirror tonight.

[Archon23]

Oh man this is gonna be :awesome:

[CrowPath]

Just thought I'd show you one of the new pics I'll be putting up which shows off the new cubemap. Compare that to the last pic I posted and you can see the difference.

I prefer these. The new ones might be too shiny for my taste.

[Limited]

I heard its suppose to be released today :D cant wait, although theres some cracking shows on tv tonight :( so I hope I dont miss the release.

[flibitijibibo]

Define tonight, because I'm teaching from 4-10. DX Don't want to get to the mirror after it crashes from the intense bandwidth, haha.

EDIT- WOO! Post #150!

[STLRamsFan]

Sounds good, this has been the most hyped map for Halo CE in quite some time..

[Love De Lux]

I prefer these. The new ones might be too shiny for my taste.

I prefer the new ones. The new cubemap make the spartans more colorfull. That's just my opinion. :)

[Xegrot]

oshi-

I can't imagine how much danger Halomaps.org will be in when you upload this map.

...

Special Filefront download or something for us first? I wish.

[Bastinka]

Special Filefront download or something for us first? I wish.
:-3 Yeh.

[Teh Ganon]

well if it is in fact hosted somewhere tonight, i can assure you it will be on my friends dedicated server asap.

[Botolf]

If there isn't a series of dedicated servers for this in the coming weeks, I shall be :saddowns:

[Teh Ganon]

might be able to get my other friend to host it on the DG dedi... that makes 2 lol.

[CrowPath]

OK folks, nearly there, this'll be my last post in this thread. I've updated my site with 5 hi-res battle scenes, another dramatic mc pose and the pic above.

I am starting to get nerdily exited.

[Digikid]

How about a H2V version? Is one planned?

[Archon23]

Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit.

[fatso784]

Your bump mapping owns D4No's....no offence D4NO lol

[Digikid]

I think that we should have a "Crowpath Night". Have a server with every single one of his masterpieces for fun fun fun.

Whatcha say guys?

[Xegrot]

:O...

:D

[Botolf]

Waiting for Church...
Waiting for Bungie Weekly Update...

Why must I wait for all the awesome stuff? :awesome:

[Jay2645]

Church is out, there's a thread about it somewhere on these forums.

[Botolf]

I saw the thread and played the map long before that post, but thanks for making the effort, though :)
