Ok. I know this thread might be locked due to lack of content BUT read on for a few moments. As a few people have commented, I have no maps posted ANYWHERE (with the exception of Steve11thSelby's in the map database) so, to silence the critics I shall post an idea for a map I have planned. I will post in an advent calender style. Every day or two I will post pictures with the updated parts of the map. It HOPEFULLY will be done on Xmas Eve (fingers crossed) and ready to download. Wait....I haven't even described the map yet =D. Ok, its quite simple. Sandbox+Xmas Tree+Racetrack+Variation of battle tracks=WIN. It will have a medium to large Xmas tree in the centre of the map (dunno about main level/crypt/skybubble) and a race track around it. Comment below with suggestions, (tips much obliged). Thanks.
Haha, this kind of gave me an idea though. Because we had that Hub of the Dead Contest we should have a christmas version one...you could win if it's good. But the only thing is that the moderators may not allow this because it'll probably get annoying sometimes and that's a lot of posts that will just get spammy...
haha, good way to build suspense, but a beginning racetrack forger probably wont be able to build an insane amount of hype for a map lol. but this thread may just do that. take your time, if you dissapoint us, than you will probly be embarrased and you would have wasted a lot of time on this thread. now that im done pressuring you, good idea bro
thanks for the boost guys forging shall commence TONIGHT i shall start with the xmas tree in the crypt i will post tomorrow (i am off school H1N1 ) with the start thanks guys =D ***UPDATE*** I have completed day one of forging. Here is roughly one hour's worth of forging. It is the bottom of the Xmas Tree pot. I used Ramp, Huge's to make the slant, and my judgement to make the curve. And OFC my armour at the time =D
I sure hope your using tin-cups for the leaves. That would = epic. Keep up the good work, hopefully the tree will turn out nicely.
Ok, bad news, 7 days into the project I encountered a problem, well, 2 problems. a) What can I use to start the track in the crypt. and b) How can I make the leaves. I am going to start the map again in the sky-bubble. I will start to update this thread more and hopefully be able to get some tests done.
@Recon Speller I deffo will. Erhm, I picked up a UBER-1337 soccer injury (possibly 3-4 months out) so free time will be aplenty. The map has been started again and shall be done (or nearly done) by this monday GMT. Wish me luck.
Good luck, and can you maybe post some update threads? If you want to just wait until it's finished then that's fine to. I can test whenever you decide to have it.
use tin cups at a 45 degree to achieve the look of the tree, other than that, you aren't going to make a good track without all the pieces.
Ok I finally have pics of the spawning area and the base of the tree pot. SPAWN (without mongeese) Tree pot (possibly in need of more interlocking) EDIT: @Given to Fly, it is going to be a short track with 2 corner one of which is going to be a sharp corkscrew and have hills on the straight. Update: It's bad news. VERY bad news. My 2 Halo 3 discs are broken and I am unable to continue forging until goodness know when, so, I am proposing a map adoption BUT I must have proof of your previous project and I must be updated regularly on the progress. Hopefully I will be able to get a replacement disc before the big day so I can apply the finishing touches. Whoever wants to adopt the map MUST talk to me via private messages and must not take over the map. If the map is stolen and posted without my consent Mods/Admins WILL be notified (possible perma-infraction).
