Mythic Dig Site

NOW THAT THE PICS WORK
Hello, it Mudkip, and I am here with my first completed map using ghost merging. Now I am not one to have a set design for a map... i just go with the flow. But the general idea was to create a Utah Mamboish map. I think i succeeded fairly well. Without further ado here is Dig Site.

Only compatible for 5v5 CTF I would advise 1 flag but multi is set up.
Weapons
2 Sniper rifles x1 clip 180sec spawn
8 BRs x2 clips 45-30sec spawn
2 Carbines x2 clips 30 secspawn
2 SMGs x1 clip 30sec spawn
1 Spartan Lazer 180sec spawn
1 Rocket x1 clip 90sec spawn
1 Missile Pod 90sec spawn
1 Shotgun x1 clip 90sec spawn
2 Spikers x2 clips 30sec spawn
2 Brute Shots x1 clip 45sec spawn
2 Needlers x2 clip 45sec spawn
Grenades
10 Stickies 20sec spawn
6 Frags 20sec spawn
Equipment
2 Bubble Shields 60sec spawn
2 Regens 60sec spawn
1 Grav Lift 60sec spawn
1 Active Camo 90sec spawn
1 Overshiled 90sec sapwn
Vehicles
2 Choppers 90sec spawn
1 Warthog 90sec spawn
1 Ghost 90sec spawn
4 Mongeese (Mongooses IDK) 30sec spawn

This is the overview


Here is the Attackers Base. As you can see there is a warthog under the wooden walkway.


And this is the Defenders Base


This is the inside of the center structure. There is a Spartan, 2 stickies, and a grav lift.


This is the Missile Pod spawn in the middle on one side (there is a regen under the structure)


this is on the other side of the middle the rocket spawn...also with a regen under it.


This is the chopper spawn on the Attacker's side


This is the chopper spawn on the Defender's side


This is the piece i am most proud of the Claw (active camo spawn for attackers)

Haloscreenshots.com hasn't been working for months now. You need to embed your shots from a different site, like Photoshop, or Imageshack.

Here are the instructons for Photoshop:

Embedding Screenshots in your Map Thread

Part 1: Taking a screenshot

Sorry, no pictures for this section, don't have a capture card, but it is soo easy, I shouldn't need to explain, but I will.

1. After recently playing your map, go to "Theater Mode".
2. Select the match you played, and "Start Film".
3. Press "Y" after film has started, and pause the game (or not), and position your camera.
4. Click the camera symbol on the navigation bar.
5. Save it.

Part 2: Getting your screenshot from Bungie.net

1. Open up your Internet Browser (I use Firefox) and go to our dearly beloved Bungie.net, and go to My Stats/Find a Player.



2. Then, go to the right of the screen, to "People Finder". Make sure that it is set to Halo 3, and type in your Xbox-Live Gamer tag. Then click "Search".



3. You should then being on your Gamer Tag profile. Click "Hi-Res screenshots".



4. Find the Screenshot you wish to embed, and click on it. Also, make sure pop-ups are allowed from Bungie.net.



5. A large version of the screenshot should come up in a separate window. Again, click the screenshot.



6. This should come up, asking you what program to open the screenshot with, or to save it to disk. For simplicities sake, just check off "Save to Disk" and the click "OK".



7. Depending what your preferences are, the picture could be saved to a number of places, if you are using Firefox, then this should come up. Click "Open" on the top one, which is more than likely the screenshot you are looking for.



8. An image viewing program displaying the screenshot should come up. Click the save option, in this case a floppy disk icon.



9.Save your image as a JPEG file, under a folder and name you can find later. Type the name in and click "Save".



10. Congrats, now you have your screenshot on your computer. Now onto:

Part 3: Signing up for a Photobucket account, and uploading your screenshot to the internet.

1. Start by opening your internet browser, and going to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket. Why Photobucket? Cause I find that Imageshack is a pain and people seem to get nothing but thumbnail pictures from it, if they do try to embed their screenshots. Once there, click "Join Now" cause IT'S FREE!

2. Type in a username, and a password that you can remember. Then click "Next Step".

3. Now fill the form out, when you are done, click "I accept. Sign me up!"
Note that none of that information is true to me. That is not my name, or birthdate, or anything.

4. Follow instructions from there.

5.Go to Login on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, type in your username and password, and then click "Login".

6. You should now be in your album. Find the section in the middle of the screen like the one below, and click "Choose Files", and make sure the size is set to 640x480.

7. An "Open File" window comes up. Now find your screenshot where you saved it, click on it, and then click "Open". Note that you can select more than one image before click "Open" by clicking your first image, and then (while holding down the SHIFT key) click on the other images you wish to add.

8. Give it time to save the screenshot on the internet. Click "Cancel" to stop uploading.

9. When it is done, this screen will come up. Give it a title and a description, or just skip that, and click "save and continue".

10. And now your screenshot is on the internet, ready to be embedded.

---

Part 4: Embed your image in your post.

1. Go to your "my albums" on your photobucket page, which is located in the top navigation bar. Then, scroll down the page until you find your screenshot.

2. Click on the text in the space next to "IMG Code". This will automatically copy that link to your clipboard.

3. Go to post your Map Thread, and right click/Paste the IMG code (an image code is the direct link url of an image, in between [img] [./img], but without the ".")

4. Yay!

Well, I hope this was helpful to those who had no idea how to embed their screenshots before. And those who find themselves telling newcomers that their Map Threads are not up to standards without pics, send them this way.

Any posts after this about your screenshots will be considered spam.

Huh, I underestimated you.
Even though you can't get your pics right this is a really good map. You have a lot of ghost merging and I really like the base design on that one big hill. Plenty of cover, not open, and this map is great. I don't know about gameplay, but if it is as good as it looks I would have to rate it 9/10 because it's really good, just not good enough for something as great as a feature. Please get the pics working, it's a great map.

Ok thanks i haven't posted in a while and thanks sniper this took some effort

[pyro6666]

The merging looks nice, but there is too much open space here and ghosts and warthogs are in no way equal. I have splattered countless ghosts with warthogs, even alone.
Your map is great, it just needs some filler between the structures.

[Shenanigans.nom]

If you read the description pyro it is set up for 1 flag...through testing i found the ghost is the most equal vehicle for 1 flag.

[pyro6666]

I was thinking set a ghost on assymetrical spawn and warthog on symmetrical, like avalanche. Making maps only for assymetrical gametypes is a real turnoff, since there are so many big team battle maps. It really looks promising for symmetrical Slayer and Multi Flag, so I hate to see it wasted. You would only need to build a ghost and two start points to use this for slayer, but if you do not want to I can.

[Duckyz]

found it thanks

[Shenanigans.nom]

That would work true but i am at the max for OLN so i will have to find something else to delete. But the bases where also meant for asymmetrical use and i don't know how well it would turn out.



And Duckyz ?????????????????????????????
