Basic Information
Today, September 7th 2008, E3pO & Modder Central are proud to present to you the very first Halo Custom Edition Surf map. The idea of having a Halo Surf Mod came from when I first played on Counterstrike-Source, and then furthered me wanting to try it when Team Fortress 2 surf maps came popular. Late Friday night I decided to test it out on Halo Custom Edition. It failed miserably. After several hundred attempts and failing, i came across something that kinda worked. I tested it over and over again making improvements to the code one try after another. This is how Surf_beta_e3po came to life.

Servers
As you may already know, there is going to be a 24\7 Surf server online for anybody that wants to try out the latest versions of user-created surf maps. The server info is as follows.

You can join it at anytime; keep an eye out for the latest surf maps so you don't get kicked from the server for not having a map. An official supported surf map list will be available on the main page of my website, http://wmclan.net/ , there should be a link on the top of the page by the end of tomorrow night (September 8th, 2008).

Beta Testers
Here is the list of the beta testers for surf_beta_e3po.

E3pO (http://wmclan.net/)
Matooba (http://halopc.moddercentral.net/)
Del (http://deltronzero.com/)

If your name is not listed, well, then you didn't beta test it! :)

Other Information
There are still many bugs in the way it works, one of which is you can't jump off a flat surface and still have the (TOP SECRET) attribute effecting your player, I will hopefully code this in sometime tomorrow after school(September 8th, 2008).

Creating your own maps
It’s very simple to make a surf map; even a noob can do it! I will be posting a "how to make a surf map" tutorial later tonight (September 7th, 2008). When you play the test map you will pretty much understand how a ramp needs to be made, if you play games like Counterstrike-Source, or Team Fortress you probably have played on a surf server. The maps are basically the same thing, and the concept is exactly the same. Basically you’re making a ramp, and then another one, and another one, and a teleport, and then another one. It’s that simple! We’re always looking for people to join the surf mapping team, so feel free to join at anytime! All you need to do is contact [email protected] about wanting to join, and we will get back with you as soon as possible.
