ssry for link only but these are .BMP's

this map will include:

• - animated lift
  - like 7 versions (halo 2, halo, original, story, goldmine, messed up music)
  - in goldmine/story edition, flag will be replaced by a bucket with gold, the weapons will be fully in golddiggers style, including custom made.
  - animated mine train (something like the death train in terminal but now usefull for lifting a part to the other base
  - verry unstable nature formed stone bridge, usefull to get faster to the other base but a few shots and the whole thing will fall in the big hole beneath it.
  - Much more!

Current credits:
- Gonna stick (modeler of some things)
- Caz (tagger)

Stay tuned for updates and pictures

Update friday 5th of august

- minetrain allmost ready, new "flagg"ready, just a little bit adjusting with the maps, started at the animation.
- the map model's red base ready, lift allmost ready, bitmaps like 90 procent.

total progress: 10%

things we have to do (begin at)
making the nature stone bridge, verry much of the level model,
gathering/creating wheapons, building the tags, placing everything in sapien, using gorilla, making the 7 differnet modes.

just something nice for you to stare at:



the full minetrain, as you can see, needs a bit of djusting to the wheel's bitmaps...


even the wheels are so detailed! bump mapping and reflection...
hang on for the next update!

1. Don't have a weekly update every week, unless someone actuallym gives a crap about the project.

2. Don't have a 'current projects' sig unless you are actually good and know what you're doing.

Yes, if you want to ban me, I don't care. This place is a blowhole!

2. we are good and we know what we're doing.

btw i've made an update tool to check when the new map is comming out so here it is.

[MrChief1]

I like it. But... fix the verts so the faces align straightly! Btw.. a little heavy on the bump maps.

<shouting> FOR EVERYONE WHO THINKS THAT: IT IS NOT I REPEAT NOT ONLY THE BIG FLIELD AS THE HIGHEST 2 PIC'S SHOW! </shouting>
the idea is above a big field with mountains, rivers and forests,
in the litle house, there is an alivator that brings you down and there does the actual map begins!!!!

[AmericanDream]

this map is going to be so sweet. i hope you finish it soon, i cant wait to play it

[The Spartan!]

Hmm it looks pretty good so far on some models. I just haven't seen a pic of the bsp yet. Apart from that simple mine house. But looks pretty good. I hope you can get it ingame.

HOW MORE OFTEN DO I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT THE MODDEL IS, WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SAID YOU MADE THE MODDEL COMPLETE. THERE AFTER YOU START THE EXPORT!!! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT HUNDERDS OF TIME.

The map is good and YOU are a n00b.

However. There are pics i would like to share with you. They are from a new part of the map. there will be a ghost city in wild west style.

For that city I've made a saloon. In it there is a bar, a piano, chairs, etc. Just have a closer look at the folowing pics:






So what do YOU think about it for so far?

[Patrickssj6]

Very nice but remake the black textzure for the piano

[mr pants]

looks realy good but the pianno could use some more texturing.

[Sain]

yeah, it sticks out like a sore thumb

[gaurdian]

update september 20th
Nm to update this time but 1 big dig difference; it's not gonna be 1 lonely miners hut but a small town around it...
caurse of the storyline it will not be a normall city....
and for the model: to prove it's messed up, i'm going to release the current model of my previus modeler once the map's gonna be released!!!
thats it for now... pic's as soon as i see caz on-line...

[gonna stick]
