Well, at the rate I'm going it could easily be spring. Having too many problems. I do one thing wrong and the PMI is screwed up and I have to start all over again geting all the scenery, vehicles, etc. I wanted.

you want to know something...most of my maps were just me wanting to pmi one thing into a map...then i felt like, hmmm...i could use this.

so all of my maps were basicly made as i was making them. no planning. thats how it becomes original. covy gulch, paintball night...etc.

That doesn't work for me.

now imagine doing that on all the SP and MP maps. im not trying to be rude but suck it up. you dont think others have or will go throught this?

ok dude.. try this..

you try to re-pmi every map halopc has. then find all kinds of errors setting you back days in work, not a few hours.. im speaking of days. until you go through that then ill start to feel sorry for you but i cant right now.

as i said, im not trying to be rude but you dont hear me crying about these things and im trying to do 22 more maps then you are. wait? and im trying to make them so they can be played in the lobby as well. this new redux will put the old one to shame. i promise that! but it isnt going to happen if i down myself and have no confidence. i suggest you pick yourself up and keep trying and stop whining.

sl!p. None of the modders that you look upto let the exceptions get to them. we got past those. when i was a beginner i found out how to properly pmi all the ai (deleting the unnecessary folders and crap) by myself. i had no one to teach me. the one thing that kept me going was my friend. He was so happy with everything i did. I made covy gulch with his help. you need to have positive stress. dont do something you dont want to. keep going with what you want to.

See this level...im having a hard time finishing it, but im not going to give up just because it takes a long time. i will finish this one way or another.

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:05 pm

Speaking the truth and I am condemned of whining....

You forgot to mention the many details such as the fact that you are a much better modder than me, know from experience how to do several things to keep back that damned exception window and yo probably have much faster computer than my POS laptop.

Andrew_B says his freind helped him out, but there isn't a soul on this earth who wants to see me make these mediocre mods.

As for modding halo in general, I am about this close...

...To quitting altogether.
I come to the conclsion that I'm not cut out for this.

come up with an exact theme before starting. Think custom, people love custom. You don't need to create things in CE to have custom. Think of MonoxideC's SP>MP of AotCR, he made very professional looking bases and large structures out of PMIed items... that is creativity, and it was flawless! Do some thing like that (so you might not have the experience with HMT that he does

) but it's the creativity that counts.

It's his choice, leave him alone, let him figure out what he wants to do.

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:11 pm

Themes themes....

>snowy - been done, noboy likes it
>spec ops - anyone not sick of it?
>tactical weapons - ok, so I just throw a scome on em..
>sandstorm.....

hmm

EDIT: whats the only map I have with a [rain] tag?

Well, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm resurrecting project BOD, aka the Bridge of Doom

no...my friend didnt help me. he doesnt know how to mod. he just told me what to do and i did it. it helps to have input.

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:24 pm

Um, if no lving soul is interested, who's gonna suggest

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:29 pm

Ok, now you're just being silly. It's the lack of motivation.

Ok, I guess I'll continue.

look slip...if you want to mod something great...dont get on the forums in a month. just find an idea (for me i find ideas in math [yes im not doing good in math]) and just work on it. dont post here asking how to do stuff, figure it out.

heres my story...i joined these forums before i started comming here regularly. they had a nice tut and i wanted to join. came here a month later to release my first mod a SP->MP. then i taught myself pmi. i taught myself how to pmi everything. i taught myself how to make the game do certain things. I taught myself how to make a decent mod with out rebuilding.

(yes it wasnt a meta swap mod...it was on bg but it was decent...exhaust came out of hog when you drove...civi hogs...nuke rl...when you pressed ctrl you ran faster and your view stayed the same...ghost had boost...plasma rifle shot plasma shots but they exploded like other things...grenade was timed (7 seconds) plasma grenade stuck on you for 20 seconds so you could time down when you were gonna die...health changes...you name it. if it can be done with out rebuilding...i did it.)

So now that you see my mod that i deleted in the making because i thought it was complete fail (oh yeah light changes

)...idk why i did but i did because people said rebuild maps. if i just didnt go to the forums for that week it probaly would have been released. now...go think of stuff, make sure you mod the hell out of it.

LMAO thats what I do too, except somehow I manage to learn the stuff anyway, even without doing any work or paying attention.

And SL1P, if you want I'll help you get your next mod out, there's quite a bit I know how to do, and I have free time I can spend helping you out. If your interested send me a PM.
