Yo tried replacing glass pieces with the blue breakout shield pieces, yeah the glass thing is annoying but imo it looks much better with the blue planet! we will see
I plan on using the blue planet for the infection version of the map, whenever infection is released. It does have that perfect dark and creepy look that would look great for it. With that said, I'm still quite at home with the Halo theme it has now, because it has the right color and brightness I was aiming for to try to match the original from Reach. I just hope we get infection soon, so I can get to working on this Infection version.
Thanks! I'll try to get the map updated by Sunday. Been cleaning snow off the streets at my job all week. Lol..
Grav Volumes (GAMEPLAY > GRAVITY VOLUMES) Grav Volumes; Visible & Invisible I knew it would only be a matter of time till we get it.
I just got home from work to a huge let down. Gravity Volumes won't work for my Accursed 9 (Anchor 9). They are pre-sized squares with no gravity settings. I would have to shrink (rebuild) my entire map to a ridiculously small size to make it happen. Stacking volumes next to each other has that same glitch too from MCC, where you fly to the top of the map where 2 volumes meet. I need trait zones, and only trait zones to make it work, like I did on my MCC Anchor 9 remake. Damn, I was excited too.
Attention gamers: The February update messed up this map. I hope to have it fixed by this weekend with the new Ball game types added too. It will be updated to v3.0 from the current (and now messed up) v2.0, so be on the lookout for that. Peace!
For anyone following this map: I have updated this map to v3.0 with the ball settings and improved some aesthetics on bottom-mid, but I'm waiting for 343i to patch the infamous lighting disaster that has screwed up my map and many others before I make the v3.0 official on this post. I don't want to advertise a broken map and write up a whole essay explaining why my map is ugly and unrepairable now. I'm going to wait it out for a bit and see what 343i does about this mess. So download v3.0 at your risk. The gameplay should be spot on, but some of the blocks turned black and they can't be fixed by anyone other than 343i.
Looks really nice! What you could do though is change the reflective properties of the floors to 10. They'd look more metal.
Thanks, I'll try that out when I start updating again. Right now I'm waiting out for 343 to fix the Storm update glitch that turned my 32x32 blocks black. It's really weird and there nothing I can do to make them act right. I'll definitely test that floor thing out though when the time comes.
I noticed that too. The light just doesn't seem to generate properly on blocks, especially ones that don't have an origin that's the same as the center of mass. Encountered the rotation glitch yet?
Until it's fixed I have t individually edit weapon and vehicle traits because I'm afraid they'll reset. A pain in the ass, it is.
Larry Tanng updated ACCURSED 9 with a new update entry: Map now meets 343i's map requirements and aesthetics have been added! Read the rest of this update entry...
Well folks, this is it. The Reach update destroyed this map. Everything turned GREEN and blocks have moved all over the place. I'm not going through this again with every new update. I'm considering just leaving H5 Forge in search of another game with a map editor. I don't know what's wrong with 343/M$. I have been forging since H3, but I can't Forge in a game like this any more.
Give it some time, dude. It might sort out. I had weird stuff happening and walked away, and when I went back later they had fixed what was causing the issue. Also, it could be the servers were whack that day, did you go back and take another look?
It's just so frustrating the way every update changes my map. I have spent so so much time on this thing that to see it tampered with constantly makes me rage quit. It's like a musician making a master hit only to have an itunes update remove the drums and replace the guitars with a flute. I've never seen any other game do this before. And no, I haven't even checked the map since I hot fixed the block movements and I'm not going to again for quite a while. It looks nothing like the video and pictures anymore, which I had just updated prior to the Reach update to fix the update before that. I think I want to just wait until H5's final update to do anything more with this map, unless they release trait zones before then, so I can throw in the gravity part which I already have settings for. They keep changing way way too much stuff for me to handle with my busy life schedule. Finished maps shouldn't need this much maintenance. It takes time and energy away from my creativity. I would sacrifice all the new features to have our old Forge back, because it didn't change contrast, brightness and saturation on a dime like a kid with a TV remote.
