Two Betrayals Opening Cutscene
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 1:18 pm
So why, may you ask, am I creating a topic separate from the main Fireteam Delta topic, even though I am posting content directly related to it? Good question. There are two answers really:
1) There are quite a few images here, which would be silly for your browser to load every single time you wanted to reply to the topic.
2) Some people might miss these pictures if the thread moves on too quickly
3) Most importantly, I'm not just showing off. I have taken some time out of FTD in order to share some information about [elec] tags...
Electricity tags (tag class: [elec]) are quite rare and obscure tags in Halo. Although I'm not quite sure what they do, I do know they make pretty lightning effects and can cause problems if ignored. They are usually attatched to pieces of scenery, like the bridge lightning in Assault on the Control Room or Two Betrayals, but they can be attatched to biped, too. This brings us neatly onto a problem. If you try rebuilding Two Betrayals, albeit any map with the Monitor in, you will find that the map exceptions without fail as soon as the monitor appears, even if you didn't make any changes, at all. Try rebuilding Assault or Betrayals and you will find that the bridge lightning has misteriously dissapeared. The cause? Halo Map Tools does not rebuild any electricty tags automatically. The solution? You have to either null out the dependency in the rebuilt map, or add the tag as an additional item in the rebuild box. I would advise the latter, as it fixes the problem completly rather than merely putting it aside.
In conclusion, I know this problem won't affect most of you at all, but I just thought it would be nice to share the solution, to make sure nobody else has the same hardships I had while trying to solve what turned out to be a very simple problem.
Phew... Onto the pics. All images are thumnails to full size versions. Enjoy!
Thanks for reading!
