Description
Lo, and unto you this night an update is born.
Do not expect a swift return but merely an interlude into the deep slumber of this work whilst other goings on pervade my time and talents. On this Great Journey, many steps there are still to walk.
*thunderous applause*
And thus, the old Earth city Brisbane prepared for war. It's space elevator a monument to human triumphs in engineering, now also a beacon for the Covenant; a herald of doom.
Were you talking about Brisbane in Australia?! :D
Yes, the same. I believe in the books, Australia is mentioned as having a space elevator...and is specifiy targeted by the Covenant as a result. I picked Brisbane because its relatively flat and a river runs through it...just like my map.
Aha! I knew we'd have a part in an alien invasion someday!
... oh. ****. :D
Well, to be fair, if there is anyone that I would want aliens to see first, it would be the Aussies! They would either scare them away, make great friends with them, or utterly destroy them!
Is that the sound of liberty dying I hear?
im genuinely speechless
YES
Omg yesssssss!
Hmm...Well, this doesn't look like you made this in FoC's engine at all.
I think it's safe to say that this is beyond impressive. We need more words to describe your work.
Thanks all!
Man those road lines are still really huge. It also looks like the windows are popping out of the building. Could do with an emissive map I think.
What do you mean by "popping out"? And yeah, I haven't touched the traffic line textures at all yet.
I feel they should look embossed into the building. There also isn't a very good indication of scale on the windows. Perhaps adding faint lines to them like the city windows in New Mombassa?
he´s talking about bump map, I believe - like you have it reversed so it "bumps" the window out instead of in.
Most skyscraper windows are flush with the sides of the building.
I do agree that most of the buildings could do with a touch more detail. However, the reflection maps on the windows specifically, prefer to have a lot of open area in the texture on which to reflect...if that makes sense. The tiny details on the games reflection maps usually get lost...
Well you could just do it like this:
Halopedia.org
I just feel the windows are just too big without any detail in comparison to other things on the map like say the buses.
Good reference material. Thanks! Once I'm done modeling the buildings I will revisit the textures a bit and see what I can do. Keep in mind that overall, the buildings (even the big ones) will be bereft of a lot of the finer details anyway for the sake of performance. My goal is to have a "full" city with many buildings, rather than a bare city with super-high detailed buildings. It's a tradeoff.
Yeah I understand. Those concepts are pretty varied and can be used in modules so hopefully that'll help.
Beautiful. Enough said.
Damn, nice job Far!
magnificent work!
Yay
Wow. Just have to say incredible work
Not exaggerating, it doesn't even look like FoC anymore, which many try to do but most fail.
So that's totally badass...YOWZA!
thank you for back work, jeff . keep the good work
-HAN
WOW! Looks awesome!
Thanks everybody! More props coming... Won't post gratuitous screens of the same map though...expect prop screenshots to be spread out, many props per screen...if that makes sense.
then, This mod will be a Halo Heroes ? like Noble Team and ODST team ? etc ? (sorry for the disturbance, i just ask )
No Noble team. This is set after their deaths. Still deciding the characters from ODST.
Hey dude. If there's gonna be a patch, can the commander bar be fixed. Because it looks really messed when I started playing it.
Yes. However, if it's an issue with icons all over... That's likely because you haven't patched your game all the way. You need all the patches or a MTDCommandbar file that is too big will not display correctly.
This is my Last Questions/Asks/Advices
Jeff, i advice you to fix about elite sword'S fight animation because it looks too stiff. I do not overload you, but there is very noticeable glitch
Then, Jeff, actually i want to help you, but its taking long time to create a custom map. i learn about texture, model, and sound but not more like you. and i want create a custom map, the background map is "above UNSC Ship" (Like Halo Wars Mission 11). then can i add the map to list of custom map ? not replace ! Thank you
-HAN
Yeah, I'm fine with community maps AFTER the mode itself is released.
Many of the animations are stiff and need to be redone. The Elite is one of them that needs it.
Awesome
Good job Farseer, looks like i am goin to have to dust off my copy of FOC
I LOVE THIS, I cant wait for this mod! I suppose that you will allow the community to make custom maps using halo props and the stuff you use? I'm pretty sure I would spend some time making some of them.
*Kiss*
