Forge Hub - Halo 3 Forge Discussion

Budget Issue - Could use some help

Plasma Blades — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:14:38 GMT

Yes, quite the original title, huh? I'm sure this title or some variant of it has been seen 75+ times in this forum. Anyway, my question is not asking if I can fix it, but more so what to edit. I hit the money limit, and I need suggestions against what I should edit. The map is a sequel to my map "The Turbines". Preferably I need someone who is a "professional forger", which basically means they can form well-supported thoughts, and have an idea of what is the least-necessary in a map. While this part isn't necessary, it would help: I would prefer if the person is familiar with my original map, so that they know the purpose of the game. I would need to invite you to my game/map so that you can get a feel for it and so I can explain how it will work.

Top 10 Halo forge WTF's

mooman219 — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:13:48 GMT

Let me start by saying that this counts as "Halo 3 Forge Discussion" because i am discussing forge with the rest of you?

To help with the discussion part of this, comment on my top ten, or tell me yours. I am not ranting, i am just sorting some brain tumer causing issues i have with halo 3 forge.

And let me make this clear, i do not want to be putting down halo, i love halo and its forge, but compromising with a disk after a WTF doesn't seem to healthy.

Lets begin! (10 - Meh )( 1 - Back to modern warfare it is)
[10.] No Effects on Unlimited budget maps. //Budget Related// Budget/Object limit.
[9.] Loading every one of your maps after shutting down your Xbox.
[8.] Finding out that on my hard drive, halo maps that i deleted still exist in my hard drive. But cant be played anymore or read by halo.
[7.] Sandbox Guardian sound.
[6.] Having the item you are holding teleport through the grid while trying to get it in the right spot on sandbox
[5.] Object not ghost merging after attempt #135+
[4.] Congrats! You map is breakable by other players and you're out of cash for it. //Its minor, but i'll add it// having the clock tell you it is 4am when you could of sworn it was 11pm last time you checked.
[3.] Having someone join your game while ghost merging. //They both involve other people// Getting killed while forging.
[2.] Deleting a object while holding the object you meant to delete.
[1.] Ending the game on accident due to the habit of starting a new round As fast as possible. *After Not Saving*
[0.] Waiting for halo reach

Code:

I had some more but it's a top ten, not a rant

(I am expecting a "O'rly?" from saying that)

Halo 3 forge "Long bridge of Death" question.

BartV — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:04:04 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for this map called "Long bridge of Death". I used to have it on my fileshare but not anymore. I searched this forum and bungie but I cannot find the correct map.

This is a video of the map:

Thank you for your help. If possible I would like to have the gametype too.

Forging Assistance

xSoGx Grim — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:43:45 GMT

Feel free to request any assistance on your forgemaps. Example you wish to put in a teleporting, powerup, or a gravlift switch. I am personally available for minor aesthetic additions such as putting a pelican, spirit, or phantom dropships into your maps. Just as a reminder considering mentioning the person who helped you in your final post. This does not limit you to purely forging help, feel free to bounce some ideas with the creative minds of Forgehub.

this is no longer an idea and the contest for this was canceled due to lack of enthusiasm so there is a new contest visit here for more information. Thank you and good bye.

Map Preview Pythagoras's Crypt

ZAXLAX 15 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:00:26 GMT

The idea came from physics class, and we started talking about Pythagoras's followers and how they believed in complete symmetry and that everything was made of triangles.so i started doodling a map like always and this is what i came up with :)
pink is bottom level, red is half level, green are ramps, teal is the third level, and yellow is the second level.it's not very detailed but it's a basic outline

This is as far as i got, and it is probablygoing to follow this directly.haha, with more detail and aesthetics of course.(i need to beat out the star from Quiztiq). I just have one problem...Build This On Halo 3 or Reach!?

Map Adoption Da Haoz

thecairocat — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:45:54 GMT

I recently finished a map called 'Da Haoz'. It's a linear infection map I just completed. It's fairly large, snaking back and forth across the entire length and width of the ground floor center. This isn't a true Map Adoption in the literal sense, but I want someone who is good with interlocking and aesthetics to be my 'counterpart' so to speak and help me complete it. There is very little budget left, but I'm sure we can consolidate pieces as there ARE a lot of dead areas. I can work pretty well at balancing it gameplay-wise but there are many holes and cracks in the walls and roof. I'm sure it's escapable in places as well. No requirements other than a Mic, but please reply with your GT if you're interested.

Unusual Equipment Respawn Issue

BlackCloud — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:38:33 GMT

After I completely finished Forging a puzzle map I've been working on, I tested out all the puzzles and at first they seemed fine.

But about 70% of the time, even though Radar Jammers are set to instant respawn, their respawn time is strangely eratic. Often, after throwing one, you'll get another and occasionally a third but after that there's a wait of about a minuite until the next one spawns.

Interestingly, even after deleting all the equipment I was aware of, it still said that there was another Radar Jammer somewhere on the map, and try as I may I can't find it... If it's there at all.

Even after glitching the map and flying around the dunes a few time, I can't find a thing.

Any light that could be shed on this would be very much appreciated, thank you.

Instant respawn?

iTz CHEEZ3 — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:03:42 GMT

Okay, I was thinking today about linear zombie maps and what could make them better.

INSTANT RESPAWNS is what clicked into my head, but the problem is that I don't know how to do it.

Instant respawns could speed up gameplay, which could make the humans and zombies run faster (90%, 110%)

So if anyone knows how to do it, can you tell me?

Map Preview Departure

Nibs — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 06:09:02 GMT

My last Halo 3 creation and my first attempt at a real competitive map. I designed it with KotH and multi-flag in mind. The map right now is about 50% done. I want to get it in the TG but i'm not sure it'll be done in time.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

About $900 left, not budget glitched.

Merging tin cups and teleporters

The Trivial Prodigy — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:22:04 GMT

Hey, I need to know how to merge tin cups and teleporters for my new map. Could someone please show/tell me how I would merge the tin cups?

Scaffolding question

The Trivial Prodigy — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:58:27 GMT

Forgive me for being a n00b and not knowing the answer already, but how do you create bars (like for a sewer, or to block off areas) out of scaffolding?

Assault gametype issue

SasoChicken — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:46:27 GMT

I know that a new Halo 3 map is fairly irrelevant with Reach a mere 17 days away, but the idea was awesome for it and the map plays amazing, so I'm planning on remaking it in Reach. Just needed something good to play that was new and different until then.

Anyway, getting back on topic, the map is awesome. It involves a central courtyard with four towers on each corner. The attackers spawn in the middle and have to take the bomb to any of the four towers via grav lifts at the bottom of each tower - pretty hectic for the defenders wondering which tower is being assaulted and having to quickly get to said tower before it's too late.

Getting on to what I'm really having trouble with, the bomb points are a bit messed up. I set bomb points on all four towers and set them to all have the exact same traits. They work perfectly (all active at the same time), except for one. I looked at everything- it's identical to the others, it just doesn't work. In the game, you can see it, but there's no arrow specifying it as a target to plant, and when you walk over it the bomb doesn't plant. Anyone have an explanation for this? Can I just not have 4 bomb points at once?

On a similar matter, what setting would the bomb's spawn point have to be for a game of 1-bomb? Be tried attackers and defenders but when we started the game, the bomb was non-existent. It would be nice if we could have a bomb to play on the map with.

Thanks for any assitance
