YOYORAST ISLAND V2 : Model finished (56k don't even think about it!)

[yoyorast]

Yeh guys, Finally after all this time (more than one year) and all these nights of hard work alone in my bedroom.. I've got V2 model done! :hellyeah:
Sure it will need some corrections after being able to test the futur playable beta version from TheGhost, but not as much as V1 needed after the first alpha... I still need some time to adapt (big work) the model to max (it is still in amapi format for now), so I'll send it to you Ghost in the next 2 weeks...
- I won't comment much on the pics, you just have to know these simple textures are nothing to do with those you'll find in the game (they'll look more like v1)..
- These pics are just to show a bit of the evolution of the model (much of the new corridors and news indoor rooms are hided...
- There are no more ladders in the towers, I prefer gravity lifts (even if lagging)..
- The Banshee will only appear in Slayer and king mode..
- The doors/ineruptors system is still planned..
Enjoy.

Awesome!!!

[rossmum]

Oh my God, that is AMAZING. Je l'adore :3

[Cortexian]

Total win, looks like I'm going to have to relearn the layout again, awsome job yoyo!

ps: are you looking for testers from the last V1 beta to beta this? If so, I'm in!

Maybe I should learn th v1 layout lol:lol:

[someone]

Totally awesome! That looks like one hell of a labyrinth on an island :woot:

[Stealth]

Like I said at GXB I can't wait to get in that map and drive, that would be fun.

[Limited]

Like I said on aim very nice yoyo :)

Yoyorast island V2 = more on foot action :)

[ChickenShyt]

Did I mention I love you Yoyo? XD Can't wait to play on it...*jitters in seat*

[onyxghost]

wow...i cant wait to drive a hog on this. or maybe a mongoose

[Abstract.Error]

Or a ghost xD.

[megaxp]

god god god god job...
awesome

[Roy2189]

Looks great. Just wondering, will the music still be in that tower on the top for the finished map? (It kind of distracts me lol).

[Pooky]

I'm a little concerned about the gravity lifts, they were implemented terribly in CMT's original h2 coag and just as terribly in any place H2CE used them, even if you had 0 ping.

[Cortexian]

Meh, there good in the flag tunnel/tube areas, I say keep ladders on other places.

[TheGhost]

lol, looks like I have a lot of work to do.

[itszutak]

/crackwhip

Get to it! :P

[Stealth]

YoYo, just remember you should try having a weak Grav lift every 7 ft, just have it real weak, just enogh power to get the MC to the next grav lift, that may help with the lag and the warping.

[rossmum]

Doubt it.

[Stealth]

Hey it is worth a try, you never know.

[yoyorast]

Hey it is worth a try, you never know.

this is info for TheGhost guys.. he is putting ingame.. but sounds like a good idea..

and yes there'll be music in the sniper tower + in the atv base..

Im about to test h3 2 seats moongoose.. maybe in V2

Thanks, and put the song 'Mad World' by Tears for Fears in the sniper tower, that would make some good music to have going when sniping, I all ways have up beat Music going in the back ground when I'm sniping, it helps alot.

[rossmum]

NONONONONONO KASHMIR BY LED ZEPPELIN.

...If you can get an 8-and-a-half-minute song to loop OK ingame.

[arbiter_346]

well, ive never seriously played on the original map, but this is gonna be a shitload of fun. lol:):XD::lol:

[Pooky]

Please for the love of Halo take out the secret teleporters. once people started finding the one to the top of the map it totally killed Yoyorast one. Also, I vote Click Click Boom by Saliva. That song is fun

[AiRgUItaR901]

I spazzed out when I saw this! Release it nowwwww! Lol jk, the longer you wait, the better it is!!

[Trezeguet]

This map will blow me.
It is much better looking than v1 and truly one of the best maps in progress.
Great job, improve so it's perfect.

[Cortexian]

I think the multiple grav-lift idea would actually make it laggier in any case.

[k4is3rxkh40s]

I think the multiple grav-lift idea would actually make it laggier in any case.

Just a thought, what about making the gravlifts vehicles that dont have any collision, but stay in that place so you can walk through them if you dont want to go up, but if you do want to go up, theyll take you up. Might be a little unconventional, but it might just work.

[Max]

Why must you put a 56k warning? No one has 56k anymore.

[Edward Elrich]

not that this isn't important, but there is a yoyorast island 2 in the gamespy lobby. Is this the test, or is someone else trying to do the same map.

edit: Here (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2325) is the map. Is this yours, yoyorast? (I know it says "yoyorast" is the author, but I'm making sure it's not some other yoyorast.)

[Bodzilla]

dont worry about that edward, it's a really old alpha build that some tard leaked :(

i made yoyosad :(
dont bother dling.

[JDMFSeanP]

You sir are amazingly creative, awesome map.

[Edward Elrich]

Maybe talk to CMT, see if they will let you put some of their weapons and vehicles in it. Unless you're trying to be independant with this?

[itszutak]

Yoyorast is keeping a classic weapon set, as far as I know; but I think there's going to be some sort of transport hog for race <_<

[Stealth]

if he is making a Transport hog, he needs to do a better job then what most people have, like have the seating in the back set up like the Drop ship, that'll work a whole lot better, and there needs to be a turret on the back for some defince.

[Varmint260]

I believe it makes sense to put classical music in the places with music instead of someone's favourite rock song or something, as not everyone here adores the above-mentioned musical artists. Classical music is, in many ways, neutral in these terms (you may not like it, but it doesn't make you want to yell at whomever put it there), and I personally enjoy seeing all the carnage while there is classical music playing (makes it hilarious!). I loved hanging in the sniper tower in Yoyorast Island 1 for just that reason. Classical music is just funny during bloopers, crazy action scenes and, yes, Halo.

Anyways, to Yoyorast, I love how you've reworked the level and am looking forward to getting completely lost again. This'll be awesome! And, as for a turret on the transport hog, having a bunch of armed Spartans in the back, in my opinion, makes up for the lack of a LAAG.

[n00b1n8R]

i like the classical music that's their now. as varmint said, it's more neutral than rock and it gives abit of comedy to the map (and it makes it seem even more serial than it already is)

stick with the classical.
n00b out

[Pooky]

The transport hogs people have made sucked though, they either had only 1 or 2 seats in the back and one passenger seat.

[rossmum]

Maybe talk to CMT, see if they will let you put some of their weapons and vehicles in it. Unless you're trying to be independant with this?
How about no? Not everyone wants or needs CMT stuff in their map.

[yoyorast]

As I always stated, I want to keep the weapons classic or slightly moded for one or tow of them. This remains true for V2. I'll talk about the vehicules a bit later...

[§partan 8]

This is truly amazing. The first one was fun. I bet V2 will be way more fun.

[RaVNzCRoFT]

Incredible.

Will there be another secret room in this map?

[Elite Killa]

Lets just hope that the secret room has something that is actually worth finding like something from GoW like the Lancer with the chainsaw bayonet.

btw, looks nice yoyo!

As I stated many times, no more secret room, no more secret tele, no more secret anything that can distract from the real game!

If there is, i demand ghost puts his picture he was gonna put in v1 in there

:cool::cool::cool:

[rossmum]

Good. I was getting fucking sick of everyone trying to get there and not actually playing >_>

[Bodzilla]

i've never seen the secret room in yoyorast >_>

[rossmum]

Neither. The map is there to PLAY ON, not to go to secret rooms in and ruin it for everyone else. Though picking the little bastards off as they try get onto the teleport is always hilarious.

[n00b1n8R]

QFT

but i dissagree with the rest. if you enjoy the secret room, then more power for you. if they choose to just spend the whole game there, then that's their choice. what difference does it make to you that some guy isn't out in the open for you to kill.

WHO GIVES A SHIT? WHY DOES IT MATTER? IT'S A GAME FOR GOD'S SAKE.
n00b out

[Bodzilla]

to the post above me.........

......

um... wats with the caps, i mean seriously... and when ppl spend entire games in the secret rooms it ruins it because there as good as another afk person in a server. less action and a less quality game overall.

but i needs to find t3h secret room :( i only found out last week yoyorast island had one :\

[Edward Elrich]

Here's an idea if you need to find stuff... Start your own multiplayer game and make the game password complete jibberish. Then you have as much time as the game allotts (before the game ends) to search for eggs, secrets, etc. (this is not a good way to find bugs, though, since many of them come while people are in combat.)

Unfortunately they don't seem to understand the concept of starting their own server and freeing some player slots for people who want to play.

[nooBBooze]

man, the secret room pwned.
*remembers yoyo ctf that turned into a 8+ ppl dancing scene*

[Big Birdie]

I kinda like the secret room although its a good place to afk if you don't get shot when going to secret room. <_<

But yea, it does ruin the gameplay on a standard point.

[Edward Elrich]

At least it's under the map and doesn't create the ultimate camper area that no one can reach (not even the ones on top of the sniper nest) Ah, the fun of it. It's so much easier to pick them off when they're on top of the nest instead of in it. Less cover=easier time.

[rossmum]

I just deal with them by putting a rocket through the window. Works wonders.

[n00b1n8R]

QFT

[Pooky]

I think he means, in Halo explosions go through certain geometry. This is a big problem in yoyorast because the map has a lot of thin glass panels. If someone's in the flag tunnel you can rocket them or flame them from the outside when they're up against it, for example.

[rossmum]

No, I meant literally putting a rocket through the tower windows from below so it blows up inside on the ceiling, killing anyone inside.

Wait, you were referring to my post right?

[Pooky]

oh the TOWER windows. I thought you were talking about actual glass windows.

[rossmum]

Ah, ok.

[Pooky]

I wasn't sure what the glass bottomed hog path was for until I figured that out. It's fun

[Boba]

On that island off the coast of the beach you need a S.A.M. site like in High Grounds. (Working or just scenery, both would be cool)

[Edward Elrich]

Maybe make the glass panes like the stationary shields in Halo PC/CE, but with some insane amount of damage needed to break them, several layers thick so no one gets killed by glitches (or glitches with the flag for easy rallys, I won't say how here)

[Pooky]

You mean the one where the guy who just got the flag gives it to a guy in the tunnel, who proceeds to go down and back up the other tunnel to score? You mean that one? ... what?

[n00b1n8R]

(or glitches with the flag for easy rallys, I won't say how here)

you mean there are still people who don't know how :eyesroll:

[Sever]

Who let you be so awesome yoyorast?!?!?
A few quick questions
- Where does the passage in picture 11 lead to/from? Sea level? The warthog trap? (to the sides of the drop right outside of the garage) Somewhere else?
- The interior of the lower mongoose structure - what is in there? I saw the leaked WIP version, and it looked like a control panel of some sorts under the glass...
- I dont know how it would work, but I agree with whoever said it that it would be interesting to put an artillery of some sorts on the small island at the beach - maybe a wraith turret!

Keep at it yoyo!

in pic 11 this is just the ramp you take after falling in the sea and going up again to join the main track again... same as v1 but you 'll join the main track a little farer.. hard to explain.. I hope you get it.

ye in the beach base, there's an interuptor that comands the door placed between the to big hills (where the beach starts) and that shut the passage of the track for hogs..

Given the fact that there's already a turret on the beach base, I prefer to have some place to hide in the middle of the little island.. like 3 big stones with a space in the middle..

[Pooky]

After this, will you be working on a new, original map, or a yoyorast island 3 for Halo 2? I'd just like to have something truly new but as intricate as yoyorast 1 to run around in, instead of the same thing over and over

[Sever]

Thanks for the responses
#1 - I thought so, and I understand fully - The last two pictures really helped clarify some stuff about the passage destinations. Do you have any different angles of those kind of shots? Those would be SO AWESOME to see. Also, in the beta, the sea ramps led to a point ABOVE the first ramp - is that still there?
#2 - I thought the rim around the pathway on the beta version was important, and the fact that you can see through the glass to that area makes a lot of sense now.
#3 - So THATS why that small island looked so empty! Zanzibar style rocks would work very nicely there. If it is possible to use them, maybe you could put some Rocket/Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun ammo there, rather than weapons. It seems too distant from the mainland to have a small bunker - It would have to have been a sprawling tower of some sorts to not seem out of place with the rest of the map. On another note, will there be any other small rocks and vegitation around the map? The first version had character and some simplicity, but with the massiveness of this version, I think some little "landmark" objects would help out.

I also highly agree with FriedMetroid - maybe you could make a Yoyorast Canyon or Yoyorast City!

I cant wait for version 2's release!

[Xegrot]

I'm thoughrouly stunned at how much work you put into this! I really like this new model, plus the additions of passages and random exits from the track are a great touch. The one track that leads up to the sniper tower at the very top of the map looks kina, ummm, wobbley, as if it were... nevermind. Basically, it kinda looks too thin. Maybe if yuo thickened it or put another column underneath it to make it look supported? Other than that, I love it!

[n00b1n8R]

i posted this in the halomaps.org forums on the topic of the trans-hog and there hasn't been and update.. so i'm posting it here since i'm guessing yoyo comes past more often.


Original message by: n00b1n8R

hmm.. not bad, i was thinking it was gona be more like the transport hog on... wartorn cove (is that the map?). my only problem with it is that it wouldn't take much to fall out.

seats like that are fine on a tank, because it's slow as horse feces, but on a hog, i think that people would be pretty likely (in real life) to fall off (especially on some of the crazy jumps on the map). for that reason, i think there needs to be a seat their for them to be abit less exposed in. not like s big seat on the side of the hog, but build the seats into the side of it.

but then again, look at the turret.. but that still has something to grab the top of your body onto...

up to you, that's just my $0.02

Hi Guys, no big news yet unfortunatly... Since my last update I didn't got much time to make progress ... Life things (I think I'll have more time soon)... I just took the time to make some changes on the roof's bases area cause I wasn't happy with the design there. I guess and hope its nor styled now.. Also changes the gameplay : Now (when riding hog) you'll have to jump from the last ramp onto the roof's base where the 2 teleporters are placed now... this results in : no more passing flag, no more accesible for bipeds and a fun little last jump before you can get the flag. Take a look at the pic.. More pics at www.yoyorast.com (http://www.yoyorast.com)

[rossmum]

Awesome, I can't wait to play it!

[Edward Elrich]

It's grav-lifts instead of ladders, right? And it does look better. But put the teleporters inside a building-like thing to prevent turret/sniper whores from picking off anyone who attempts to get the flag.

[rossmum]

Grav lifts lag horribly.

[Edward Elrich]

Fine, then. If it's not a grav lift, then is it just a ladder?

[yoyorast]

Fine, then. If it's not a grav lift, then is it just a ladder?

We'll test grav lifts, it it really lags, I put the ladders back..

And no sniping will be possible anymore form the atv base to the 2 bases.. cause there is now a big mountain in between..

[Limited]

Just make sure you cant pass the flag through the floor like we did in the beta yoyo :P

[yoyorast]

Well if the place where stands the flag is not high enough, i'll modify again..

[itszutak]

Perhaps a combination of grav lift and teleporter? (the 1s are teleporters, the one with the * is the starting one)

__^
1 | (flag)
------ (Ground (possibly with "fake" opening)
|1* | (Top of tube)
|___|
|___|
|___| (Bottom of tube w/ grav lift)

It might work... >_>

[rossmum]

Every lift I've tried would send me flying around like crazy the moment I stepped into it.

Even on my OWN server.

[Limited]

grav lifts lag more for the distance they make you travel.

If you were to make a series of small grav lifts it wouldnt lag too bad, but im pretty sure it would lag so either some combo of them and ladders or ladders and teleporters is probably what is going to be in final

[rossmum]

Seriously. Even Warlock-size grav lifts lag the living fuck out of me. Hence my hatred for any map containing them.

[Pooky]

It has nothing to do with your connections, grav lifts just sync horribly badly, since they make you move so fast.

[Edward Elrich]

Test this with the map too, since it was a problem with the first yoyorast:
It was possible in the first map, on CTF, for someone to stand near the level of the ground in the ladder, and someone with the flag could drop it while walking (in the direction of the ladder) and the person in the ladder could "grab" it. (It's similar to the glitch in beaver creek where you can grab the flag through the wall)

[Pooky]

Well, the thing about it is, since you're taking grav lifts up a TUBE, there's little reason why you would lag off and go flying like in every other map. Also, the idea of grav lifts with teleporters is a great one, just have a grav lift shoot you up the tunnel, then you hit a teleporter right near the end and boom you're on the top, with no lagging off the edge. Though, it would be cooler if the screen flash was removed. Chiron gives me a headache >.<

[rossmum]

It's not so much shooting off the lift, it's continally whizzing up and down it in such a manner that I used to get pretty nasty migraines if I did it too much...

[itszutak]

I think it should just stay with ladders, actually.

Ladders give snipers time to aim... Unless they're busy camping :p

Ladders are encased in a bullet proof class tube...

[yoyorast]

Yeh, I think I'll stay with the ladders afterall.. the only difrence will be the glass tube will end inside the last groud of the base with an horizontal teleporter.. this will bring you onto the roof..

Haha ye agree, hilarious!

while I'm here, I can say again I'm not waiting anything form CtrlAlt anymore..
I'm now working closely with E3po and Haloguru.. They are as passionate as I am so we're really making big progress now.
I just finished a VERY LAST model update yesterday.. now the model is 100% final. It's all coming along very nicely and will come sooner than you may think.
