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!

1. there are enough people who cares about the map.

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.

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!!!!

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

Here is another update but this time:
Saturday 10th of september 2005
Not a lot happend this week . we actually found every error message we could get by exporting the file . We're still trying to fix that.during this time we'll make a video of the map. Just to have something to show ya.

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.
Thanks,
Elite Hunter

CAZ FOR MODELING AND TAGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the model of my previous modeler is that screwed up that it prbably has to be redone completely!!!!
this will not take as long as the previous time...
now: some better maps on the materials, better bitmaps, more ideas, not only a big flat desert but in the background there will come mountains, rivers, forsts, caves and all kinda stuff.
there will be a possibility to get there to.....
didn't began on the movie yet caurse of the new model, if the new model is finished it will take like 4 weeks to get everything done. dont forget: there are 7 versions+ the new cinematic version is 8 versions!!!!
so... stay tuned for tha updates!!!!

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?

Very nice but remake the black textzure for the piano

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

yeah, it sticks out like a sore thumb

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...
