The above is a beta for the map HangEmHigh ATM.

With this map in you can join anyone's server without issues, having other's join your's is untested.

The map is a complete reskin of HangEmHigh, with custom bumpmaps to match the new textures and a river running through the middle of the "ditch" in the map. This is the first time that I know of that a "water plane" of some typehas been added to a PC map without CE.

All needed bitmaps are internalized.


THE FOLLOWING IS NOT DESCRIBING THIS DOWNLOAD












I'm just gonna write some stuff here:

Things I plan on doing:

A Brand-New, Full Campaign Mod.
  • What does that mean? No, I won't redo all of the campaign maps, that's boring. I'll be writing up and modding all new levels, in MP format.
New Selection Method.
  • The normal way to do this would be to release multiple MP maps, maybe some with BSP conversions, and have them select the maps in order. The problem is that this is dull, and boring. I want something new. I already have a really good idea in mind as to how I'm going to do this, it just needs some testing.
Smart AI Tags
  • The AI is difficult, they'll hunt you down and kill you. They won't stand around and shoot, if you hide, they'll go looking for you.
ALL of this is done with PC.
  • I rarely if ever do mods with CE content. ATM, the only CE tag I have is a 8 vert box model from Andrew_b, which I could've gone without. I don't plan on adding another.
I'll add and cross out more as I move along.

You need some heavier weapons if your planning on having vehicle encounters... like grenade launcher or rockets.

Maybe add other weapons that are the same except they are made to inflict a little more damage and force like say... armor piercing rounds.
Example: Have a normal AR, then a different AR which uses different ammunition.
Like specialized weapons.

Other than that I pretty much think you have human weapons covered..

Is this Modern Day? Or still in the HALO Universe? The only thing I can think of is a Suppressed SMG, like the MP7.

Wanna do something new and groundbreaking in weaponry for Halo?

C4 Charge Explosives!

Nuff' Said :wink:

Allso, if you want "Ownage Pwnage" points how about a Claymore Mine?

REALISTIC C4 placement i could put a "bomb" on a vehicle and let the people drive for half the match then when they decide to run me over i can go "Oh' yea! I put C4 on that hog!" and blow it up at my pleasure. NOT depending on a timer with the worries of radiation poisoning afterwards.

Mhm, so different variations of the same gun, and come up with some awesome way to make a remote explosive.

I didn't put rockets down, but they are included, despite the lack of vehicles in the map.


k yeah thats no problem. Just need to pull some hax out of my bag is all.

I think I got it to be honest. In fact I'm positive I do. Holy hell, It's so easy.

For SURE, there will be remote explosives in the map. They might not stick to surfaces however, but they will exist. Rejoice.

If you need help with any of the modding, I'm free and feel really weird having no mods to work on...

Official Weapon List ATM:
  • Battle Rifle- 15 Shot Clip
    SMG- 35 Shot Clip
    Assault Rifle- 25 Shot Clip
    Magnum- 8 Shot Clip
    Pistol- 10 Shot Clip
    Sniper- 4 Shot Clip
    Shotgun- 8 Shots
    Remote Mines- 4 Mines
    "Tactical Rifle"- 15 Shot Clip
    Shotfun- 1 Shot Clip


I lied about this being based off a map. I recently realized even CE collision has holes when it's stretched.

Explanation of mines:

Dual Trigger Weapon, Right Trigger Places the Mines, Left Trigger detonates ALL mines on the map. Whether placed by you or someone else. There's one of the detonators on the map.


Oh, and all of this is PC. No CE content, as is the norm with my mods.

id say fuck around with a few pistol models, and have multiple pistols with different damage and rates of fire so they are balanced.


then a grenade launcher would be sweeet (edited rocket launcher mebbe?)

K, alpha test here so that people who I want to look at this, that I never seem to be online during the same time they are, who promised to look at the skins then disappeared, whose name's I will not give (PEPSI WTF DID YOU GO), can see it;


OH, btw, I succesfully added a water plane to the map. It's flowing water, I'll write up a tutorial on how to do it when it's released. To those in the know (andy), don't give it away just yet.


Have fun with the download. Oh, and only actually download it if I asked you to in a PM or something like that alright? Thanks guys.

Don't Steal My Mod

EDIT: My bad, thats an older copy, I'll upload a new one sometime soon.

What's funny was how you were like Andy I added water to map, you know how? Then I explained how, and you just so happened to have done it that same way.

Public Beta for my skins, since nobody else wants to look at it. Since they obviously don't got no love for Hamster. It's coo' though, now you all get to take a look.

Some food for thought

Look at first post for images.

Intentional low quality, because the pictures cant really do them justice.

Don't worry, this one isn't double password protected like the previous.
