Am I the only person not happy with the CMT release?

sure its cool and all... but I get horrible framerate issues on my PC with it... and all the missing strings... and just... it feels horribly incomplete

anyhow... If I find the time to deal with all of the CMT stuff... I'll make an effort for it. Untill then.... well... play it on your PC

well, i am not as happy as i should be with it but an xbox port might solve almost all those problems.

I dunno... my PC is better than my Xbox by far... I mean.. hell Halo looks better on my PC and runs better on my PC than it does on the Xbox... but... I dunno

I'll defenately try converting a level.. but I wanna get this map pack done with first

too many projects going at once slows EVERYTHING down.

yeah, thats good.
I'm sure this map pack will be great. All the maps released so far are ace.

I blew the dust of my Halo 1 and i was playing "corruption" yesterday and this map is absolutely incredible.....this map pack is already a classic and im looking forward to it...

I have been pretty sick the past few days so I havent done much... untill today... I felt a little better today and so I got out of bed... and went to town on these maps

I've been toying around with some maps today

I was working on getting the CMT SP pack converted for you kids... but... that isnt looking very promising... (that and I have NO experiance in SP maps whatsoever... bah) I got the POA to load in Sparkedit.... but I cant get my Xbox to recognize it as a map at all. I think its something about how CE SP maps are.... well SP maps... and that CE doesnt really see them as maps... untill it is told to load that map.... anyhow onto other news...

I am now working on converting Yoyorast Island, I have most of it done besides a few collission errors

Also, since you can only have 3 vehicles to an Xbox map.... what one should I cut? there are the following....
Mongoose
Warthog
Ghost
Turret

another map I'm working on.... just some weapon bugs with this one...

Korori asked me to port this for him.

These maps arent neccessarily going to be in the map pack, just favors I'm doing for people. They will be released as single maps (if not in a map pack) for download on my website.

O_O

Nice. Yoyorast + Ascension on Halo 1 Xbox sounds fun. =)

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 8:44 pm

lol, Are there any H2 weapons in that version of Ascension? That would be rather intersesting to have the only vehicle be the H2 Banshee. And maybe with the H2 hud.. Too bad sprites don't convert well...
Ascension on Halo 1... lol...

Also, you definately can't cut the mongoose from Yoyorast! That's like cutting of someone's [cough cough]s! I say kill the ghost.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and you're going to have to make the PoA overwrite the A10 that comes with Halo, because it is just that, a10. Then you have to run it like you would normal campaign. Let me know if it works, because I noticed that I couldn't play campaign with the conversion runner... Kept getting a dirty disc error.

kill the warthog, and i want ascension halo 1 !!!!

Yea, ascension has like 5 custom weapons I think....
BR
SMG
Magnum
Scarab Gun
.... maybe only 4... Sniper has a custom model though

Anyhow.. what I dont understand... is that in the Ascension map he put in a song that plays when you get near the scarab gun.... like most custom sounds It got corrupted when converting.... but... in Yoyorast... the song that plays when you get to the top of the mountain didnt get corrupted

I know it's really just a10... but I tried a little bit... and I tried like 5 different methods... none worked... I knew the conversion runner patch wouldnt work anyways because that shrinks the cache file size and I figured it would crash the game if it tried to load a mapfile larger than its allotted cache file size

ewww, if you release in a pack get rid of the scarab gun, ruins gameplay.

llama_juice · Post by **llama_juice** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:05 am

I was planning on it, plus even then... its not something easy to obtain... it has 4 AI with 1 hit kill shots guarding it haha

Oh, and for my little question about what vehicle to cut from Yoyo Island.... Yoyo himself said the turret should go

warthog-1
ghost-1
turret-1
mongoose-0

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:24 am

how about you cut it all and just leave the mongoose? XD
Anyways, I think your sound problem may have to do with the sound type. Check to see what the music in yoyorast is, I'd bet money on it being an Xbox ADCMwhatever. I'd bet that the sound in ascension is an OGG Vorbis. Which means I have to convert my sounds differently if I'm right.. I went through all that time to get I Wanna Rock into a UI, and now I'm probably going to have to reconvert it XD

I didnt check myself the compression.... but I talked to the ghost (who did pretty much all the ingame stuff for Yoyorast) and he said its ogg :S

I say get rid ot the turrets, you need all the vehicles to get around on a map as big as yoyorast island.

Also, can you do Ascension as Halo 1 classic, meaning without any modded or H2 weapons or vehicles. Just the original Halo 1 guns and vehicles.

there was a much better version of Ascension with h2 weapons but i like classic better

and don't bother with cmt i believe they are going to try to port it themselves.

This does have H2 weapons... the one I'm working on... is the one where if you go to the top of the big tower... there is a scarb gun up there and there is a H2 spartan and Link standing up there shooting at you... with deadly shots

Oh... and Masters contacted me again to do the CMT package for them...

Alright... Turret is gone... now what style hogs should I put in... rocket or chaingun... the map has both and its either one or the other if I'm going to have the mongoose and ghost

What's the point in having Ascension? Especially with Halo2 weapons.. since you know.. Halo2 is available for the xbox already..

I can see the point of a Halo2 PC mod.. but for the xbox? That's just retarded.
