Working on a Sanctuary Remake (15 Hours in)

oX Arson Xo · 06-04-2009

Been working on this for the past 3 weeks and i havnt been working on it much lately, just want to put up some pictures because i could use some enthusiasm to carry on making it. just Post and tell me what you think so far.

If you look here youl notice that the Crypt entrence isnt in the centre of the Middle structure, its because the Crypt entrence isnt the middle of the map (if you count the squares in forge the crypt is in the 13-14th block out of 30)

Tell me what you think and if you want to check it out in person just send me a message on oX Arson Xo.

It's looking good arson. Good luck and show me the finished product.

I admit it looks very good from what I can see, very neat also. My only advice is to make your post more informative is to try and find similiar pictures of the map so other people who haven't played H2 can relate to what your building, I remember playing it back in the day but surely other people cannot.

Apart from that I look forward to this being completed (:

Looks like very good forging thusfar. Using the main level was a dangerous choice though. Be sure to include plenty of cover.

Finally, I was going to make a Sanctuary remake because we didnt had anyone REALLY good. Its good that you are making one. Seems very good.

You are going to build wall around the map, right?

EDIT: I'm willing to help you, if you really need.

yeah tell me about it, dont worry about the cover the map will be an exact replica of Sanctuary. But hopefully il have enough pieces to wall off the map.

if i cant wall it off, il scrap the map and work on a different remake and come back to it later on. Thanks but il be ok =] i work better when im putting it all together my self, if i got someone with me normally its just someone to keep me company an talk to like =p
but yea i know what you mean about all the remakes, im going to make a thread after ive finished the sanctuary remake to see what remake people would like me to make next (im planning on making all the ones that are possible from Halo 2)

Thanks for the comments to guys, i put roughly 60-100 hours per map and it helps allot knowing that people actually give a shit :P =]

This looks really well made so far. The interlocking done is excellent and you really made the map exact. Keep workn hard..can't wait to see the finished product.

Updated with more pictures, im about 25-30 hours in now. if your wondering why its taken me so long to do that its because i make a layout before i go to work on building the actual structure, also every single piece is interlocked perfectly and can be recognised to the grid on the floor so making the other side perfectly symetrical will be easy. also theres allot of geomerging with the walls to make the map look better asthetically.
One thing is i have about 130 objects left and that half of the map takes roughly 70-90 pieces to do so i can safely say i can make the map un-excapable, as well as have an extra 30-40 pieces to make the map more aesthetically pleasing.

thanks for the moral boost guys, i really need it for this map because i predict itl take me about 70 hours to complete.

I wanted to remake a map too.
Thought about Foundation or Sanctuary...

Good Luck I chose Foundation xD
Your map kicks ass^^ looks REALLY great!

At first i thought you'll have problems with the object limit, but you wrote about it so it's fine.
I don't want to happen to someone what happened me

.......
I was completely new to sandbox-forging and didn't know about the object limit.
So I worked on my Foundation map for about 10-12 hours.
Nearly finished some parts were missing and i wanted to finish it...
and THEEEN it happened

Object Limit reached.....F**K
Well i just started new and it should be finished about next week

ANYWAYS
excellent map design =) looks really neat...

Checking in on your map. And must I say this is looking really great! It is better than all of the sanctuary maps that are complete..so far. Keep it up.
