Swamp Gulch v1!

[Magnum]

: O OMG. What is this???

That's right everyone. After a year and a half, I decided this is good enough done for a v1. When you get in the map, it may seem as if nothing really is changed, just stuff added. But, may I tell you that this was a lot harder than it looks.


Things in this map that have been changed.

1. Water. This was a big deal. It took me over HALF the time it actually took for the modification to be finished trying to perfect this. Sadly, it is not COMPLETELY perfected, but fairly close. There are some glitches when you look in ways, the water disappears, but I haven't figured out how to fix this. Thanks to A Bunny for the idea.

2. 3 new weapons. Overall, I didn't know what really to do with weapons. The first is a mine launcher. Of course, this isn't really "new", but a fun aspect to try out. Another is the Plasma Sword. Although it is somewhat different, and a close range weapon, it was a neat idea, i thought anyways. The third is the BioSwamp Gas, a modification of the flamethrower. It shoots this gas, and has stun effect, and a less damage.

3. Skins. Most were used from o90's Skin pack. I love this guy's skins. Thought they should have some use since they were on my computer.

4. The two hogs. One has a newer, boat feel, the other a civi hog. Just a fun little change.

5. UI changes. Well, lets say it's still a WIP---Work In Progress---for v2. It has been hard for me to figure out how the heck to change things, and what not. So far, I look at it as an extra preview to the next, better version of my swamp gulch. Hopefully you all like this "preview".

Yes. The changes aren't much, but its to create a new feel to Blood Gulch, bringing in something no one has done----other than A Bunny. Water. This was my main goal in this map. At first, the concept map had rain. Rain. Mmmm what an awesome idea. But after becoming more informed in the modding, rain was ripped from full version, which I found was illegal. I thought if I wanted to be able to have a completely legit map, throw out the rain, but still have some sort of water. Then I was told by A Bunny in the thought process, saying he has accomplished something of that sort. Thank you, A Bunny, if you ever look up as a guest in topics. Thank you.


Enough talk, how about some pictures.....







The Thank you's.

Andor. Man, you helped out a bunch, just from the good ole days modding together. Your help has helped with my knowledge as it is now.

A Bunny. You probably never check here, but without you, this map never would have even been possible. No water=no swamp. It's just not possible. Thanks a million.

Beta Testers. Well you know who you are. During the summer, thanks for the help of testing, and telling what state it was in.

Thank you guys.

Albeit, I give you Swamp Gulch!

It is currently just in the form of an installer, automatically installing in your Maps folder. So just so you know, BACK UP YOUR MAPS. I am not responsible if you lose the map you currently have in your folder. The package contains a bloodgulch.map, bitmaps.map, and ui.map. Back up all three.

The Map is protected. I do give all rights to mod if asked. So ask me to get the unprotected map.

Thanks all.

Wow! It looks like you really spent a lot of time on this. It's too bad that you were unable to fix the water issue (there's gota be a better method than a bunny's idea), but everything else looks really good. Can't wait until I'm able to try this. Kudos to the use of o9's skin pack, his skins are amazing.

This mod is old school, reminds me of the stuff people were doing when I first started modding.

Nice!

[Løki]

Oh dearest me!
I Think the swamp lizards ate my dog again!
Magnum you bastard! Your Swam lizards killed him!
Awesome man! Pure friggin' awesome!
EDIT:
Intel Only?!

[Modzy]

Oh WOW.

Thats some EPIC FAIL!!!

Your bloodgluch map is missing over 2000 lines of data, no header, no start of the BSP.

WTF!

[zealot to lazy to log in]

well shall we start the glassing process,

[Magnum]

@Loki, no its not intel only. I made it on a PPC--my sexy mac--so it should work.

@Modzy, : O wtf. but it still should play right? I think this is maybe because this is the protected map. IF thats why, and you want to take a look at the map, youll have to aim me for the unprotected one.

No, it does not play. If your missing the header, and the beginning of the BSP, do you really think it will play.... <>.<>

[seabeast]

-Wow. The pics look good.
-Oh, just a note for others. If you didn't put Halo Demo in your apps folder, or put it in some sort of games folder, it creates a new Halo Demo folder in you apps folder and inside it, a maps folder, and inside that, the map.
-And... it doesn't work. Won't let me highlight the map and hit OK under choose map.

EDIT: Lawlz.. no header or BSP=Fail

As I suspected. I don't trust apps to find folders, especially since there's no default installation path on macs so didn't use it. Looking through the map contained in the installer and that it lacked a header and parts of the bsp, I assumed the installer was sophisticated enough to apply the map as a patch of some sort. What did you use to "protect' the map?

It's not the map, if you open the installer as a package and un-archive the maps, you will see that the maps in the app are lacking the header and part of the BSP.

[Magnum]

Hmm an app called helpful halo appies or something. It had protect map, so i did. Hmm, I will re-upload with a non-protected one.

[Altimit01]

I wouldn't trust most protection apps. Either they're trivial to circumvent or completely break the map. In general, if its playable it can be utilized.

Re: mr mods, see underlined section of quote.

[Magnum]

Well thank you Altimit for letting me know. For the time being until this is finished uploading, I will just let you look. It wont be installer format, so back to drag and drop.
