Fierce_Gaming · Post by **Fierce_Gaming** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:28 pm

Hey guys I was thinking about doing a map pack and releasing it soon. I would just like your opinions on the levels I have so far and what levels you would like added.

Here are the levels I have in mainmenu so far.

(There's a couple more I cant think of)
-Also I added the newer halo 2 maps (like relic etc) to mainmenu so nobody has to worry about the newer updates -not sure if you'll agree that thats a good idea-

Thoughts

make sure you ask them if you can use their maps for the pack. im sure they wont mind, but its good to ask.

EDIT:
and this should be somewhere else, this for for H2 downloads, this is just an idea.

Fierce_Gaming · Post by **Fierce_Gaming** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:31 pm

Yes that is a very good idea. If anyone here rejects me adding there map please tell me or PM me if you like. Or I will contact you

(yeah wrong forum- might have to move-) sorry about that

Yes you can use my selan forest map if you spelt my name right.

if you want a mappack everyone might/will download make a mappack of all the newly converted maps like all of TSF's maps and all the mach conversions.

nifebender · Post by **nifebender** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:03 pm

good call!

r0tten · Post by **r0tten** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:10 pm

umm you have no download, why is this here, it should be moved? why dont you ask everyone permission make it, then post

not to mention i am a day or two away from finishing a map pack with a whole bunch of goodies in it. my suggestion, take it in stride and put some real effort into, theres not much you can do with a map pack besides add new maps so try adding a few new options in the menu and skin the mainmenu and make sure to add a .dds for every map w/ a description. then it will be worth the download. good luck on that.

but you are more than welcome to use my map.

Yes very nice idea. Those are the main ones I am looking for in the pack. Thanks for the replies guys. But has there been that many? (mach con.) I do have some in there but only 4 or so.

Because I didn't think I would be releasing it. But yeah that would have been better. Off course there will be a preview for every map...man how I hate that white screen

Again is this a bad idea, I thought it would make matters better for the new maps so people wouldnt get scewed with the updates. I added the newer halo 2 maps (like relic etc) to mainmenu. Good or bad?

r0tten · Post by **r0tten** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:35 pm

well theres been (in no peticular order):

cable room
sentinel base
gondola
specimen storage
induction
catacombs

and team iMOD is working on a new one and so are a couple other people i think. not to mention the many maps that have small mach's added to them to give it a new feel like space port by greennc. i am working on one for ascension right now too.

thats an awesome map pack. some of my favs right there

Pyroman · Post by **Pyroman** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:39 pm

You can use any of my maps. I don't care.

Have you devised a patching system yet? If you havnt I highly Suggest you look into it. Compiling all of these maps into PPF's will most likly bring the file size well over a gig. Then again, some maps such as TSF's arent even ppfable.

r0tten · Post by **r0tten** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:00 pm

well over a gig? no, anyways i would talk to low 8 about a sppf patching system and then ask tsf about whether its ok to use induction or catacombs then you have to have those seperate, you need a serenity and a ppf for those.

No, thats just what im thinking about though. If its just ppfs it wont be over a gig. All the maps togather though are 1.47 gigs.

Very true, forgot about that. Yeah that kinda sucks they would have to be seperate, oh well. yeah I will talk to low 8 and see what he thinks would be best.

P8ntballer24 · Post by **P8ntballer24** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:09 pm

You can use P8ntball... Anyways im almost done wiht my new mod that infact is a new type of mach mods

DoorM4n · Post by **DoorM4n** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:10 pm

Use dec1234's The Dawn of Warfare if you want.

Fierce_Gaming · Post by **Fierce_Gaming** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:11 pm

Oh really, I cant wait to see it. I have always loved your paintball mod. I guess the reason was I was pretty good at it and you did such a nice job on it.

The Dawn of Warfare I was thinking about adding it, but I have one simliar maybe I will just add yours instead.

Also I think I have all the mach conversions in the pack that have been released so far.
