New map project (SkyScraper)

this map will have every space vehicle ever made and other flying vehicles if you made one and would like to have it in Skyscraper send me a render or it in halo and give me a description.

I'm perfectly open to letting you use the Draco + Firefly, which I consider inseperable, other than that, most of my space vehicles are miniature versions of cruisers...

But that's gonna be a lot of ships, which means a reeeeaaaallly long script to make sure they are all there.

I know and thanks for letting me use your vehicles I will give you credit could you send me the tags?

Not now, the model needs a little adition and I need to make sure it's all localized so that the stuff works.
Also, to keep it fair, any weapons settings you want on it? I can get you pretty much any setup.

lazers and missles on some vehicles guided all long range and fast

Also, a ship of this size would have way more then one hangar

the POA is the smallest destroyer in the UNSC fleet

the UNSC leviathan is about 20 times bigger and thats a small carrier

why dont you just make a map where two fleets face each other?

(10 POA against 10 motherships, there equally large right?)

this wouldent work because...

1: the map would be to damn big!
2: it would take a hell of a long time to see anyone
3: it would lag horribly

OR you could make the ships into destructable scenery and place guns on them

Because I'm already making a map like that

And BTW, the Marathon class cruiser (Leviation) is not 20x the size of the Halcyon, if it was, it would be bigger than the Covenant Assault Carrier, which is the biggest ship in the Haloverse.
It's actually more allong the lines of 2 times the size of the Halcyon, or as the model in H2 would make you believe, almost equal.

acctually if you read the books right its a carrier that captain keyes superior is the captain of and the cradle is the largest ship in the haloverse but it has a pretty big hole put in it and was destroyed and if you are making a map like that........your insane! unless your scaling the ships

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 12:46 pm

They're on the scale of Halo 2 stuff.
but this isn't the place to talk about it.
ANd what is the Cradle? I've never heard of it and I read all three books, plus I was referring to ships you actually see.

gibbo · Post by **gibbo** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 12:51 pm

what is the Cradle

A repair and Rearm ship in orbit when it took hits for the UNSC fleet when they were between a moon and a planet fighting 2 covenant frigs a carrier and destroyer when keyes knocked out the spyship

They're on the scale of Halo 2 stuff.

thank god!

I was referring to ships you actually see.

sorry my bad

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 1:04 pm

If it's repair and re-arm, it really isn't a ship, but rather a space station...
Ah, yeah, now I remember them, those aren't ships. They're more like the Cairo, only more boxy. They're kinda like flat things in space for docking ships for repair.

I would like to model, just as of now, ive got crappy Gmax...

Im not to good at using it either..but im getting better. Once I get 3DSMax, and can model better, I would like to help.

I have know knowledge of scripting though. So dont expect any vehicles from me.

I had a thought about how to fix the problem with the connection btw. the hanger + pillar of autum. You could make a box and bevel it to have the same outline and depth as the hanger, then use bolean to cut out the hole. I have SOME experience with 3ds max 7, and if you could pm me the hanger model I will make a door(low poly as I can) and bolean block for it.

Soo, any news on the project? I haven't heard a thing in a while. Wats going on? (no I am not trying to bump. I just wanna know)

Buddysingsing · Post by **Buddysingsing** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 9:28 pm

I suddenly came up with an idea for a stealth jet and decided to make a 3ds max "sketch." If I do end up making a final model, it would be more detailed, eg. torpedo tubes, guns, better canopy, better engines, etc. Please note that I have no friggin' idea how to do anything other then modeling, so I am gonna go give myself a crash course on vehicle making in case no one can rig it for me. That is, if you think it would be a good adition. It would be black and idealy suited for people who like sneaking up on their enemy, dumping a torpedo down their throat, and flying away before the poor soul who just got screwed knows what happened. Here's a render.

Also, could this thread be a bit more active??? I know that there are people out there like me who almost never post... c'mon, contribute to this.

that looks more like a dog fighter than a stealth jet, Reminds me )Strangely( of the ARC-170.

This reminds me of the X-Wing. With its wings blown away.
