OMFG LOCK ME BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND

:: POSTED AT USER FORUM - Yes I believe this deserves an all CAPS title ::
When I began mapping, I had a dream. A dream that one day the many players of Halo could be more than just soldiers. I had a dream that one day they could be more than Master Chief. My dream was simple. Let the people be Commanders. Commanders of ships so enormous that no one could dream them possible. But, sadly, my dream was crushed, for the Halo engine is a peace of shit and just can't support models that big. So I stored that idea and brought forth a new one. In this time, I have hypothesized but never experimented, or just didn't fricken' finish anything.
That was until this day, when I stumbled upon the Inamberclad's model, UVed and everything. This gave my original dream new hope.
I came into Halo, a simple nothing. Now I have been called God.
So now, I give you, the most awaited announcement since that of Halo 3:

I WILL FINISH TREPIDATION























Phew... I see why no one writes their own speeches...
Well, enough of that, here's the inamberclad in space:

Technically, that's a tiny little model of the inamberclad in Seperated (release date: 06/20/06). But that is how it was meant to be. Someone had brougth this idea up before, but I said "no way, it'll never work, the collision model will be too small", but I was wrong. After my work with the Draco and the Seperated BSP (speaking of which, got a new version which fixes quite a lot of errors and should have working water), I learned much about the Halo engine.
So, it hit me, small models do work... So I made my own little Inamberclad and stuck some missiles and a chaingun on it. Now, in respect to it's size, it's WAAAAY too fast right now, need to fix that, but, I discovered something important, and that is that I can do this with my other stuff, like the Halcyon and the Covenant Battle Cruiser. So, that's where we are now.
Since I don't need to make the models, or texture them, myself, I just need to add pilot seats and trigger markers, plus scale them down until they are a little bigger than the rocket launcher (seriously), this map will probably only take a WEEK.
So, here's the rundown:
I have a huge room [a simple box] connected to this miniscule hangers. Like toy sized! And in these hangers are minature versions of the respective vehicles.
Humans:
Halycon
Frigate (as you can see in the picture, I have the real one)
Longsword (mb, Idk, it'll be a spec at that size XD)
Covenant:
Carrier (the one from halo 2)
Battle Cruiser (the one from halo, the top on mine is fuxed)

So, stick these so that gigantic room is facing away from the action, possibly outside the skybox, and stick it all in space
What do you get?
If you're too stupid to figure this out, we'll play a little word ace [(c) that one guy on American Inventor]
It's an eleven letter word that starts with 't'
Still stumped? God, what is your IQ, 10?
Trepidation. The project that died a while back will now be my most important project ever.
This means that the Draco 1.0 will probably not come out (don't worry, I wasn't even gonna have the 1.0 in Seperated) for a VERY long time.
But, this will only take about a week or so, seeing as I have most of what I need with me... I hope.. hmm...
Well, that's pretty much it. I'll be changing the name of this topic to "[WIP] Trepidation" soon, like right before I release Seperated or I get like 500+ views.

I don't have my notebook, so I can't start working now, so until next weekend, happy modding!

Mod Edit:: Please keep your images under 800x600, thank you.

[Evilsnowflakes]

thats all I have to say.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

I was going to say "finally! a reply" but then I saw yours...
Can you explain your " "?
Like, is it a good or a bad ?

[Evilsnowflakes]

lets just say its a "why isn't it out already because I want to play it right now" kind of

[HK-47]

ok bacon you know im a big fan and all but i always have ONE problem with trepidation....The textures...DIM them down....they were always bright wich looks funky....maybe add some bumps or something but im so happy...Can anyone smell a machinma coming up?

*runs off with his camera*.

[fishface617]

jeez how many maps are u working on wight now?

[MrBalll]

Yeah seriously. This is sounding good so far.

[Dojorkan]

FYI, there are no Hayclon class Crusiers in Halo2. Just Marathon class.

And Covenant crusier= one with stubby wing/fin structures at front, like the Truth and Reconcilation.

Covenant Assault Carrier: Ships seen in Mainmenu, have no studdy wings but have an odd shaped gap in th front.


Just so you know.

And IAC is a Frigrate.(SP?)

Due to the background this looks to be a Halo CE mod. Halo 2's space looks better.

DUDE HURRY UP!!!! im too lazy to make this map. and i thought trepfull was good. textures were weird and the halcyon hud has f**ked up but it was cool and innovative. HURRY UP!!! also you should make longswords and seraphs deployable from the carriers(have a space you can walk around in inside the ships and have the tiny seraps and longswords in tiny hangars in the ships) and make gunner positions for the capital ships (unsc: pilot controls *mac* and forward archer pods, then have 2 other seats to control side archer pods and machine guns)(cov. pilot forward plasma turrets and plasma torpedos and have 2 side gunners controlling plasma torpedos and side turrets)
*i hope you know what a mac is...*(magneticly accelerated cannon)

yes there are look in the background when you are on cairo station there are tons of them.

[saddamsdevil]

I expected to see a seraph in this map since it is the covenant brother of the longsword...

Oh well, sounds great.

Looks like someone's got a case of the SonicXtremes.

EDIT:

I came into Halo, a simple nothing. Now I have been called God.

WOW

Cool extracted model in the middle of a skybox depicted in a .jpg that violates resolution limitation rules.

[SnaFuBAR]

Now I have been called God.

wow, hahahahahahahahahaa. no. just no. first you think you've been called one of the top ten, and now you think you've been called GOD?! you do a real good job of lying to yourself. i feel sad for you. real sad. you make sub-standard maps, with sub-standard content, and sub-standard models. hey, at least before you were actually making things. now you've resorted to a ripped frigate in a skybox. how in the hell does your ego continue to grow?

if it's gonna take a week, at least have something good, which i doubt will happen. so is everything gonna be ripped?

[Snaku]

It looks like your picture got mod-edited. I'm really curious to see this, so I hope you get a resized one up soon.

"Looks like someone's got a case of the SonicXtremes. "

Some people do get carryed away , its not their fault , they are just over excited about things , why do you always have to pick people out when it comes to something like this? its not nice to make examples of people.

As for the level i hope it is better than the first one , the first one was kind of a let down , just hope its better.

FYI I know exactly where each ship fits in the halo storyline
And do I need proof that people have called me god? Cause I can easily get proof.

[ScottyGEE]

0mg! I can too! I must be 1337 or somethingz0r!

your god! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOlolololololol

zomg your god

you are god and this quote is 100% legitimate so you can use it at halomods!

Sorry but saying things like that especially for a mod where all your doing (as you so nicley put it) is "to add pilot seats and trigger markers," just isnt backed up by such a claim...


The mod itself may turn out to be good but talking like that (and attempting to insult my intellegence) isnt kool to me...

Which is their fault...They're in complete control of their emotional highs and lows. If not, then they're to be diagnosed with some sort of chronic syndrome of the sort. And I doubt our "God" falls into that category.

[Razor]

And whos place is it to judge someone their character by emotional reactions?
