Horse?

I am, and probably many of you are as well, a raging rooster teeth fan, and there is this thing they do called "acheivement horse" in halo.
( [Only admins are allowed to see this link] ) I was thinking this might be a fun thing to do in repcom, and i am wondering if anyone would like to try it out. If there is some interest in this maybe people with modding skills could make some maps? Or we could just use the normal maps, idk seems cool to me, what do you think?

It could be good, but it's making the maps that's the problem. They could be quite time consuming, there wouldn't be many people making them, and they wouldn't get used all that much.

Wait you want to make a halo version of repcom???That would be awesome if you make it like reach that will bring more players to the repcom community and perhaps get more members

I make maps as well. I don't play halo so i would need to be told how we want the maps

@ stcd i dont think youre getting this man

OK guys. I don't want to shoot down the idea, but you need to know a few things. First, this has already been done. There was once a repcom server called chumpflipping.com, and it was exactly this sort of thing. You'd launch yourself down mountains, off cliffs, etc., mostly by using either AA or rockets aimed at your feet. The guy even dreamed up competitions, had mod maps, he was really into the idea. Sorry, didn't last. After the first month, no one came to his server anymore. Second, repcom mod map versions of most Halo maps already exist. I used to play in them all the time. Look around the internet, like on filefront or fileplanet, and you'll find them. Timberlands is GREAT for sniper duels.

Lastly, there are no "fail" ideas. There are ideas that might work and ones that might not, but we can only judge after a full hearing on the project. That particular post has been deleted.

I'm a big fan of occasionally casual randomness. The guy's mistake might have been in having chumpflipping 24/7. The occasional mod map exploding excitement sounds like fun to me. Make a great clan activity.

I'm for it. I always enjoy trying to get as many achievements as possible completed on the Xbox before my friend... But he had it two years before me, and has like 6000 more points than I do. Anyways... Yeah, this sounds enjoyable. XD

If its Chumpflipping i already have a map....

Although that wold be fun for a within clan event, I don't see it working outside of the current big RC clans, such as ]RC[, CCP or uh...MoTR (lawl)? Why? Well...because as much as it sucks to admit it, our comunity as a whole is pretty dead and locked. There are hardly any new players joining, and a lot of vet players have left/are leaving/will leave soon.

Also, @STCD creating a new content patch for the game has already been planed. In fact, I personally started on it, and quit soon after I started due the lack of support from other coders/mapers/testers, and an overall lack of enthusiasm from the comunity as a whole. I did some mesh testing and succesfully created a new weapon, which was the last thing I tried before i called it quits.
Process is long, and full of ED crashes and corrupted files and reinstalls. Although we do have the editor, it is not the developer version, and hence, some of the necesary features are locked, and finding work arounds causes the maps to load horribly slow or just crash. In short, we do not have all of the tools required nor a team of people big enough to release a major content update.
Maybe 3 years ago, it would've been good if all of our great minds collectivelly worked together, but back then, I was busy running my own clan, MoTR was busy stroking their e-peens, ]RC[ was just growing if memory serves, so no one paid attention to it. The rest of the big clans were to busy finding server mods and such to cooperate with each other. Oh, and most of the cool mods were kept for clan-only. So yeah, from the start, our comunity wasn't big on expanding.

yeah, the editor is indeed sometimes quite annoying. nevertheless you can do alot of stuff with it.
here's a [Only admins are allowed to see this link] i've been working on with skip. he scripted the whole movementstuff and i made mesh/animations and hud. we thought it'd be funny to convert an egoshooter into a racing game. the project is at its beginning.

the repcom-community is not big enough for something like a real patch. there are some good multiplayermods but no one uses them. many modding-groups specialized in singleplayermodding because of that.
there are a few good singleplayermods coming out soon like the arc-mod of the carbonitemodders or a RCII mod of a german modder called cyro. i've been working with both moddinggroups and both projects are very promising.

sounds like fun im for it.
