i have been working on this map since last month, just wanna say i am so tired of this sandbox forgeing i had a budget of 1500 dollars but it never lets you use it i get like 200 left and it says cant create any more objects on map, which i think is bull..... when i have a budget left and the skybubble is like a mile long so for once i decided to use a busget glitch and it did the same thing it said cant create any more objects on map.. and what really ticks me off is they count a spawn point as a object when they are FREE so what when u plan a map u have to plan on 40 spawn points eating up your objects ....ya stupid so anyway i had like 400 pieces left and had big plans for this map,, but i cant finish it so i had to make adjustments so it would atleast look finished for you guys on forgehub. ANYWAY im done with this whole forging thing its broken . so here is my last map have fun.. thanks there are weapons on map download::: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details
Wow. I've never seen anything like the centerpeice before. The map appears aesthetically pleasing, and it looks great for Multi team and FFA. About your Budget problem, there's something on Sandbox called "OLN." It's the fact that if you delete ANY of the original items on Default Sandbox, you loose and object you can place on the map. That's why you should ONLY use OLN canvases and not "Sandbox Clear" canvases and such. EDIT: If you DID use an OLN canvas, don't delete all the objects when you think you're done with the map. Perhaps make stacks in The Crypt or Main Level.
EDIT- Someone beat me to it, lol This looks like a great map, im downloading but I won't get to play til later tonight. The "budget" that you had problems with is the object limit, a maximum number of items that is unrelated to the budget (spawn points etc. still take up space). If you start with a stacked map, you will have more pieces to work with.
That middle looks familiar, Either this is your V2 map or you saw the same post I did and copied/improved the design. Or... no, you wouldnt steal a map, nevermind. About the canvas....Yes, always use OLN canvases. They help, from the top Of my head I know you can use all 73 spawn points that are in the Original Sandbox. That saves you 73 ITEMS!!! So yes, problem solved for you in the future.The design is good for the overall map so I may download, good job.
Your map looks really good. I'll download soon. Also can someone explain the "OLN" thing to me alittle better?
the map looks good but somethings missing... i also prefer not to use the OLN unless ur not interlocking it cuz it glitches and ull wanna beat up ur xbox. it saves alot of items tho
lol i posted a map with the same centerpiece like 5 or 6 days ago. what a coincidence. but your map looks good. nice and clean. kind of reminds me of a skybubble version of foundation from H2 with some guardian thrown in. nice job.
i would love to see ur map ive started this over a month ago and yes i was using a stacked budget glitch and i still ran out of pieces somehow and didnt delete till very end when i needed more peaces i reached the limit somehow grrrrrrr any way i threw some power weapons in center satellite and brs' on catwalks .. in the bases 2 of them have dual weapons and the other two has brute in one and needler in the other ... some stickys in center thanks for viewing and have fun on it
If the map isn't playable, then you could EASILY have put it in the aesthetics section. Besides, overall I think that the map doesn't have too great of designing to it, it's just more in the aesthetics. So anyway I'll give this an effort value of 4.5/5, but a playability value of 2/5. Sorry, but you said yourself that it was broken.
i really like the map, it reminds me of foundation but without a bottom floor, and that centerpiece is really cool. About the object thing, even if you dont use an OLN canvas, i just use a regular canvas, cuz interlocking is really wierd with the map default objects. And with the regular canvas, just make sure your gonna for sure use the object you place, so you dont have to delete any objects during the making of the map, and if you dont want it, just set it to the side to use later, that works the best for me
Ok, here's the straight info on OLN canvases, cause I wasn't seeing any other replies that explained it properly. If you're building in the skybox, use a canvas that has all the objects stacked up there. Do NOT use the default objects; In fact, delete everything except for the respawn points and weapons. You will then get a ton of budget, and hit your budget limit long before you hit your object limit. Works every time.
i said the forge budget system is broken not the map and i also said i finished the map. i would have liked to add alot more and had big plans for this map but since budget ran out i rearranged the design and finished so it would be playable the map is finished.... THANKS for the heads up on the budget how do i get a OLN map
Your suppose to USE those objects in your map you know. Otherwise, why the hell did you even pick up the canvas? OR am I wrong? With my map ENCLOSED, I used about 110 items from the Original map and still had plenty of Item budget left over. Use those objects, don't let them sit in their piles. YLOu should put in that information into the OP
