HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Alright, I am a mac user, and so far no mapping programs have come out for us mac's. So I am turning to you guys, could someone make a map for me? I know that is a alot to ask for, but if I provide enough pictures and data that I can, could you make my fantasy map in to something I could play? Then there comes the fact that most PC mods can't be downloaded by mac'ers, so I am really at a delemma, here is the pic:



Description:

It isn't that flat, blue base would be elevated alot more. and that is a waterfall, any ideas on how to make it any better? Thanks for any thing you guys think of. (and there would be vehicles in water- boat (warthog), Jetski (ghost) and a submarine (banshee - only for underwater though) and a tank like boat from like world war II (really slow though) what do you guys think? and the shallow water you can walk on but it slowly drops off to the darker blue part, where if you walk on you will fall to your death. (however vehicles can still go over the darker blue part, it is only if you step on it) and there would be a sword (human model) in the cave under the waterfall which leads to under the temple. rockets
would be on top of the temple, or sniper or something, and that thing near green base (look at flags in front of bases) is a sniper post. The vehicles would be docked at the docks, postistions of docks are yet to be determined (another words the blue base one would lead out behind it but I didn't have enough room to show you and make it work.) The forest would be more intense obviosly and just so you know, there is glass on top of the forts, which are like the ones at blood gulch but wooden, and you can break through it. WHEW. I hope you got all that. anyways leave surgestions.

really cool picture

once im done making my test map for testing vehicles and stuff id be glad to give it a try

Thank you so much, ill render up a side view sometime this week. (try to anyway)

Ok, I have been making some stuff in photo shop, Kinda slopy cus i didn't take much time.... Sorry bout that, and i was fooling around with textures in the bridge one. The vehicles... hahaha your just have to see it.

Since the main overview didn't show the entire island, here it is. (the tunnle leading to dock is underground, accessed by a ladder in the base.


To show the elevation of the blue base island


The vehicles, with the submarine everyone loves

i got a better idea GET A WINDOWS MACHINE lol joking
if you want it try to do this but do ce maps work on mac? the only mac i use are at school so i dont konw but sure ill give it a try

you might wanna get someone else to do the vehicles lol

ill try to model the jetski, even if this map doenst go through. i probly wont be able to get in game though because i always get errors.

how are you gonna run a ce map on a mac?

i can make that terrain quickly if you need. pm me.

no, halo ce has not been ported to mac, but...........
we, (mac users) did have a way to convert ce maps to halo pc. unfortunatly that process was only know to one person who has left halo modding. but people are making progress every day in resurecting the conversion process.

Alright, thanks to anyone who can help! I put the yellow sub in there for laughs, but if someone could do that out of a banshee that would be hilarios. Anyways, again, thanks to all who help with this. And chrisrice is talking about bobintheshadows (spelling?) who was an awesome programmer who unfortunatly has been working offly hard at school ( whats up with that?) And again, thanks for anything you guys do, I just wish that mac's could alter maps like you PC guys can.

I love the name of this map

lol he named it after you cause he loves you lol joking

lol Sain, and oh yes of course I love him... even though I have no idea who he is... My name for Xbox split screen is Saint, and I was gonna name it Saint Island, then Saint Utopia, but I liked the sound of Saintopia. also, i made a couple more photoshop pics.:

Sniper post, held down by rope, simply since i thought it looked better with the rope:


The temple close-up:

this might be pretty awesome....il make the pryamid if nothing is going to be in it....is it just going to be a pryamid and a good place to snipe at the top? if so il be glad to make it but you have to get me a bitmap for it....i can make that with all the vines going out of it and stuff........and i might be able to make the boathog....im not sure...but good idea mr MAC

Lol, and the thats basically the pyramid, I thought if there was an inside it would be to sheltering, so just the top - and either a rocket or sniper spawns up there. And there is a tunnle that is leading from the waterfall to under the temple - where a sword is, which is human which ill make in photoshop.. soon. And, thanks again to anyone who can help out!

well if there is no inside i could make a pryamid. And il try to texture it.....but its not going to be good.......

heres one i fould somewhere online

lol....i made one right now:




lol...yellow

edit: i made it taller and putting it in a level right now...but the bitmaps didn't work so i have to redo it

you know we should all work on this together im working on the treehouse or whatever right now almost done
