FYI, you guys are supposed to play in widescreen for the weapons

Trying the map right now...

EDIT: I won't complain about the bsp, it's just fine in my opinion.

The weapons are as good as the others that i've seen in others maps and the missile pod is good too.

The only thing that REALLY SUCKS in this maps, is that the banshee and wraith don't have a boost, cmon this is a halo 3 map VEHICLES NEED BOOST!

Also, I know that this isn't in halo 3, but it would be fun if you made the mongoose like yoyorast island, where you're able to use your weapons while driving.

Anyways, I wanna play it and I think that it will be fun.

Tested the map with five others on LAN. Everybody experienced glitches. A few were acceptable, mostly visual.

But there were some that affected gameplay.The most irritating one being launched by a mongoose into the lake. I used up all the grenades I had earlier, so I was stuck there. Lucky for me, there was a warthog placed on the far right side of the lake that was kind enough to flatten me.

One more thing to note. Four of the five players were lost to the credit room. They refused to leave thanks to the music.

How do you get to this credits room?

yup, phantom triangle in the center of the base platform facing the non-waterfall side, hope you'll fix it slap

regarding the secret room, i dunno if theres a trick to getting in there, i cheated n got there by dev cam, thank you, ily slappy <3

Both bases have an entrance right here:

oh ty

jesse, how long for st?

Can't spawn on anything except slayer and ctf D:?. And i just realized when you do cheat all vehicles the fusion cores have explosion effects, but the autospawn ones don't.

Change the resolution? i've got mine set higher and it doesn't mess up with the weapons.

-vidmode "width","height","fps"

Remove the quotes. Keep the commas. Type into the "Target" area of your Halo shortcut, in Properties.

Oh and if you want to fix chat, try and find my instructions I posted a while back. I've forgotten how xD

E: Instructions from one of my old posts:

"Right click the Halo shortcut and type -vidmode width,height,hz in the 'Target' area. Of course, change width, height, and hz to suit your monitor. For example, my monitor is -vidmode 1680,1050,60

60 is the most common refresh rate for widescreen monitors I believe. I'm not sure if Halo actually supports anything above that anyway.


There's a problem with vidmode in that when chatting in game, what you're typing doesn't appear. To solve this, simply go to the content folder in Halo's installation folder and find the closest .ksml file to your resolution's height setting. They set height for the chatbox. Edit the editbox .ksml file closest to your res height with notepad and find "Top= " on the fourth row. Change the number there to 40 below your res height. If that doesn't work, just change it to random amounts until it works."

Do you have a widescreen monitor?

Well you have to just set the res after vidmode to that. It should work. If it doesn't, I don't know what's wrong.

Have you got a modded Halo by any chance?

I knew the credit room was a good idea >:)

Disappointed in the grav lifts... Was really looking forward to launching stuff. :'(

anyway, will the be a Valhalla V2 later on in 2012?

Man cannons doesnt Sync well trough the net... he tried his best.

Btw,Grate Job slappy.
I`m glad to see your project finally got released.Altrough it has some minor bugs that need to be fixed. the only thing that really annoys me are the sound of the missile pod and the melee of AR.
overall:
9.5\10

Looking forward for your next projects (:

Okay so BSP wise it's a 10\10. The gameplay value is a 9\10. One of the only problems i have is that you can only play ctf and slayer -1\10. the fusion coils that spawn don't have explosion effects, and can't be moved -0.4\10. the phantom BSP distracts from, and reducing, the gameplay value -0.6\10. take into account the hand full of other glitches and your map comes out to 7.8\10. it's great, for a beta, but it'll need a little fixing up for a final, imo.

BSP wise: 10/10, very accurate.

Gameplay wise: 9/10, issues with fusion coils and man cannons (probably can't be fixed)

Weapons quality: 9.5/10, excellent apart from shotgun anims. h3 grenades plox

Vehicles quality: 8/10, you need alot more vehicles. (atleast a ghost, possibly a hornet?) Also, Wraith needs to be slower.

Sounds: 8/10, mostly great but some a little off like the grenades (they only have one detonation sound) also there needs to be more ambience.

Model quality: 9.5/10, great. fp legs i demands them nao!


Issues:

• Credits room teleporters need to be taken out.


• Backpack weapons lag and start coming off spartan's backs.


• Lack of gametypes other than Slayer and CTF.


• You used the old warthog model/bad textures?


• Banshee needs to be lighter.


• Lack of vegetation.


• No equipment like bubbleshields.


• Weapon placements glitchy like the sliding battle rifle and missile pod that's going through a wall.


• Pelican needs to be closed, it's become a good camping spot.

Excellent for a V1, though. 9.5/10 overall.

slappy will not fix anything, i talked with him, and he said this project is released and finished..

OMG finished ?! ..... Sorry not crit etc.... but for me this map is not finished :(

i know, but he doesnt really want to know anything anymore about this project..

maybe someone here should fix the map and just, finish it..


EDIT: i can do it, but im busy with my ui..
Edited by Mangenkyo on Dec 31, 2011 at 05:59 PM

No leave it as is. It's what slappy wants.

On it, already started, almost got the fusion coils done the detail map wasn't showing so i fixed that and now i'm almost done with fixing the physics. I won't release without Slappys seal of approval, though.
Edited by grunt_eater on Dec 31, 2011 at 06:12 PM

Well from what I played I thought it was okay. There were problems here and there but overall it meets most of my expectations. Hopefully later on you might come back and fix some of the errors, but until then good luck with whatever you're doing now.

did you fixed the missile pod fire sound?? because i can give you an old one i was using.. and its ok for me..

I think I saw a map once that used portals for man cannons. Portals sync so the man cannons were just made up of multiple portals, then the momentum from travelling at great speeds through portals could send you flying through the air. I can't remember exactly which map it was though.

I may need that sound, a little later, i'm working on sights first.


And i'll make sure to try the portal launch.

ok, let me find that sound and then ill send it to you by PM

Thanks.


And sorry to slappy for working on his project without his permission, i just know what this map could be. And i'm OCD so that's part of it. But like i said, my version won't be released without your permission.


E: http://www.xfire.com/video/5252bd/ yo checkit mappahs, opinions?


E2:Does anyone else know where i can get this map that has a teleporter gravlift?

E3:Barrels of the machinegun turret rotate now.

E4:still working on mongoose physics.
Edited by grunt_eater on Jan 1, 2012 at 12:39 AM

I have the mongoose anims, and if mine wont work, fix it. I also have a custom camera track that is better than the one on that, plus the driver seat has the view limited to 90 degrees left and right, set it to zero

I also have a kick ass cliff shaders:





Inspired by Lumorias, but they are 100% my work

Thanks for the advice and the anims on the mongoose are already there, i'll be editing them so they'll work though. And as for the bitmaps: i'd like to stay loyal to halo 3 bitmaps that are already on the map. :P




nvm: fixed it
Edited by grunt_eater on Jan 1, 2012 at 06:57 PM

I can take the bitmaps tho. public release ?

beautiful cliffs

Can I make AI Version? :3
(Even though I suck at making AI-maps.)

ty grunt eater for taking interest and being motivated enuf to make the adjustments and ty slappy for allowing grunt eater to do a lil polishing :) all leads to a great result

Don't be to excited. Slappy hasn't said yes to a release, yet. I'll wait until I've finished and then send him a copy of the map and ask him what he thinks and if a release would be possible, but right now i'm not making any promises, he may not want another copy of his map released. It'll be up to him.



E:working on phantom BSP, this may take awhile...

E2:What do you guys think about me redesigning the credits room to fit better into the map, ya' know a secret way to get in instead of a teleporter. And it would also be set up for tactics and bones game-play. Opinions? Anyone?
Edited by grunt_eater on Jan 4, 2012 at 10:28 PM

Just saying this bsp remake is bad so i will make one myself
