i was just gunna say to add a nuke...actually it is prolly possible. maybe you could make an animated scenery as a nuke?

That wouldn't be very fun for the 15 other people... Maybe a count down before the explosion? It would at least give them time to hide : )

Nah...nukes are too, well, nukey. (And overdone.) You should put a kinda switch or panel or something to overload the power core, that would be a lot better and also look crazy

And nice idea with the 7 pillars, think I'm the only one who noticed... now I just gotta get CE again...

Hence the entire reason i said it is impossible to get. Just have it as scenery, that no one can get, but die trying everytime.

It's like having the rocket launcher on a perch no one can reach but the real one is somewhere else. It just pisses people off

^its pure evil, meh I dont use the rocket or fuely enough to care though (i just pick it up when im near it, but I dont go for it all the time, thats what seperates me from a noob

) but the fuely could be like the sword in midship kindof

Snaf this is elite hunter I've checked out your map sooo far and i'd like to say congradulations but I don't know if you'd accept this. (I've sent a pm to you).
Thank you,
Elite Hunter

about the explosion, maybe make it like pillar of autom were you hit a switch and vents open, if you blow up whats in side the vent then you damage the core, if you succesfully blow up each of the opposing vent things or just a single vent, their base is more easily accesed. And if all the vents are eliminated, the core has random explosions that dont do a lot of damage and sysmic (spelling?) waves that only hurt your sheilds... very complicated i know, but just a thought.

thats not how it works on the covie ship. have u ever played halo 2? the first
cutscene between levels shows the chief dropping a bomb into the power core and it causes a super-explosion

hey snaf... this map is lookin good. I was thinking that maybe you could add some more sweet machinery-looking stuff in the core room, not only to make it look less simple (this core is powering an entire convenant cruiser!), but it would provide some more cover in that room. Not too much tho... but those pillars seem kinda pointless cuz they look like they are deliberately in the way. I think you should have it so that none of the features look intentional for the purpose of fair fighting. Lol another crazy suggestion i had was... since you are making an all-covenant map... and since maps where you play as grunts, jackals, or elites have already been made... what if the player biped was a HUNTER! haha.. maybe have a gun in one arm and the rechargable fuel rod cannon in the other. That would mean no arm for grenade throwing, which might be a good idea given the size of the map. That would be a feature that would catch the CE community's eye for sure. heheh just some stupid suggestions...

YEAH! Like in that one mission where you have to overload the generators... and
the screen gets all white, and your shield goes down.

You could have like a panel and you have to hold it for say, uh, 10
seconds, and if you die, it starts over. and if you DO activate the
overload everyones screen goes white and everyones sheild goes down.

How you like that idea?

lookin good :)

i assume the way it will work is there will be one of these rooms on each side of the core, would i be correct in thinking that? im tryin to make a mental pic of how this will all look :P

SnaFuBAR · Post by **SnaFuBAR** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 11:37 pm

update here. a few renders to show what i've done.

the room containing the core has been scaled up,
new flagrooms have been made that fit the theme better
also a couple to show the general layout.
