Ok, I am new here and this is the first map I have made as a remake. It is a remake from Halo 2's Elongation. I tried to keep it as close as possible, but my map making skills aren't the best yet, so I will update and modify it as I go. The main thing I wanted to do was get the crates to work mostly correct. I am using man cannon's to launch the crates across the map. They work alright, but I think I still need to do some tweaking to get them perfect. Sometimes one will catch in a random spot for no reason, and sometimes they all work perfect. I tried to keep the lay out the same and it should seem familar. The weapons are pretty much the same, with a couple extra spikers thrown in. It currently has spawns set up for slayer and ctf gametypes. Here is the link to the download. http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=61144348
Hey, welcome to Forgehub. Here at Forgehub, it is required you have at least one picture embedded in your post, or it will be deleted after 24 hours. Here is a short guide to help you embed them. Curtsy of Sweeny Todd http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-maps/18644-embed-screenshots-your-map-thread.html Embedding Screenshots in your Map's Thread Part 1: Taking a screenshot. Sorry, no pictures for this section, don't have a capture card, but it is soo easy, I shouldn't need to explain, but I will. 1. After recently playing your map, go to "Theater Mode". 2. Select the match you played, and "Start Film". 3. Press "Y" after film has started, and pause the game (or not), and position your camera. 4. Click the camera symbol on the navigation bar. 5. Save it. 6. Now onto... Part 2: Getting your screenshot off of Bungie. 1. Open up your Internet Browser (I use Firefox) and go to our dearly belovedBungie.net, and go to My Stats/Find a Player. 2. Then, go to the right of the screen, to "People Finder". Make sure that it is set to Halo 3, and type in your Xbox-Live Gamer tag. Then click "Search" 3. You should then being on your Gamer Tag profile. Go to and click "Hi-Res screenshots". 4. Find the Screenshot you wish to embed, and click on it. Also, make sure pop-ups are allowed from Bungie.net. 5. A large version of the screenshot should come up in a separate window. Again, click the screenshot. 6. This should come up, asking you what program to open the screenshot with, or to save it to disk. For simplicities sake, just check off "Save to Disk" and the click "OK". 7. Depending what your preferences are, the picture could be saved to a number of places, if you are using Firefox, then this should come up. Click "Open" on the top one, which is more than likely the screenshot you are looking for. 8. An image viewing program displaying the screenshot should come up. Click the save option, in this case a floppy disk icon. 9.Save your image as a JPEG file, under a folder and name you can find later. Type the name in and click "Save". 10. Congrats, now you have your screenshot on your computer. Now onto: Part 3: Signing up for a Photobucket account, and uploading your screenshot to the internet. 1. Start by opening your internet browser, and going to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket. Why Photobucket? Cause I find that Imageshack is a pain and people seem to get nothing but thumbnail pictures from it, if they do try to embed their screenshots. Once there, click "Join Now" cause IT'S FREE! 2. Type in a username, and a password that you can remember. Then click "Next Step". 3. Now fill the form out, when you are done, click "I accept. Sign me up!" Note that none of that information is true to me. That is not my name, or birthdate, or anything. 4. Follow instructions from there. 5.Go to Login on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, type in your username and password, and then click "Login". 6. You should now be in your album. Find the section in the middle of the screen like the one below, and click "Choose Files", and make sure the size is set to 640x480. 7. An "Open File" window comes up. Now find your screenshot where you saved it, click on it, and then click "Open". Note that you can select more than one image before click "Open" by clicking your first image, and then (while holding down the SHIFT key) click on the other images you wish to add. 8. Give it time to save the screenshot on the internet. Click "Cancel" to stop uploading. 9. When it is done, this screen will come up. Give it a title and a description, or just skip that, and click "save and continue" 10. And now your screenshot is on the internet, ready to be embedded. Part 4: Embed your image in your post. 1. Go to your "my albums" on your photobucket page, which is located in the top navigation bar. Then, scroll down the page until you find your screenshot. 2. Click on the text in the space next to "IMG Code". This will automatically copy that link to your clipboard. 3. Go to post your Map Thread, and right click/Paste the IMG code (an image code is the direct link url of an image, in between [./img], but without the ".")[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o46/onlykaproductions/embed6.jpg 4. Yay! It'd be in your best interest to embed them, not only so it is not deleted, but so that your map is actually noticed and does not die down. And remember, only 24 hours! No need for anyone to inform him to embed after this one.
ok im not gonna lie this map is sloppy but you had a great idea if i were you i would go back interlock and geomerge it more if you ever do that pm me i want to see it
Wow was my first response, this looks exactly the same as Elongation, except for the fact that it isn't as smooth. This is also a problem for the people of ForgeHub who will leave comments such as "needz moar interlocking!". If you are wondering what this is, interlocking is fitting two objects together to create a smooth walking surface and/or smooth wall. Geomerging will also make your map noticed, it is merging an item with map geometry, ie. walls or floor to leave no space in between them and create lower levels or stop grenades passing under/around them. Geomerging can also help with the crate problem as you can merge man-cannons under the map and have the crates move over the surface. These and more forging techniques can be found on the home page, just look for the "Forging 101" link in the top left hand corner of the screen. It really helps the people here at ForgeHub notice your map and get those downloads. I hope this helps, i will update this post with the link for the Forging 101 section, just in case you can't find it. EDIT: Forging 101 here's the link Also more pictures would be helpful, of all parts of the map to give us a better view of your map and decide whether or not to dl. Welcome to ForgeHub!
