my guardian remake

[MS eMeRaLd]

i know i've posted before saying it was nearly finished, and i apologise for the delay.
1st let me tell you all that i did make gaurdian and i did finish it, but on testing with some friends found flaws with frame rate loss and disapearing floors (lol). i've had to rebuild certain aspects of the map which has caused delays.
now i can say i'm in the process of finishing again, and hopefully this is a better rendition, some of you on here will have noticed that i spend quite alot of time in forge and that is because reach maps are horrendous (imo) so i've been making halo 3 maps that worked well.
obviously i'm no pro forger but i try to make it as close to halo 3 whilst taking into account it's a completely different game, so ive had to change certian things, i.e gold 1 to top blue on guardian.
in the next few days i'll be asking for testers, if you want to help test let me know :)
thanks guys, and again i'm sorry for the delay

Its a really good remake and I think I helped with it (a very tiny bit lol)

[Peridious]

Good stuff - looking forward to it!

[Skyzorz]

I wouldn't mind testing the jumps and general flow and what not if you wanted me to.

My gamertag is "Sky likes this." Add me if you'd like

[MS eMeRaLd]

yeah magik, you did. it's always nice tro have people look at it and say that little things need abit of work, i won't shy away from suggestions, and if i feel they'll help with the flow of the map i'll definately look at changing it.
sky i'll definately add you

I would love to help you test this out if you'd like. Are you incorperating things like the Tree jump at Sniper tower or the corner jumping thing (That I could never do) at Gold?

I'd love to help out some if ye need it :)

[MS eMeRaLd]

the tree jump at snipe tower? is that S1 to S2 to S3? if so yes that will probly be in there.
what is the corner jumping thing at gold?

[Simplex]

The Tree jump is the one from S1 to S2 that I see people do alot. And the Gold corner jump is from Bottom Gold to Top Gold. Like right beside the teleporter.

[MS eMeRaLd]

ah i c. then yes both of those jump will be in my remake :)

[Simplex]

:D

Now if I could do those jumps.... TOTALLY different story. haha

[MS eMeRaLd]

they will be easier to do on my remake so don't worry about that. i can't make glitches into maps haha

[Morgacht]

GT: Morgacht, If I'm free I'd love to test it out and run some oddball on it bro. LFG.

[aratio]

[phreekopath]

I'd love to be in on this as well... I've downloaded quite a few remakes off the file search and they are all god awful. Not sure if I'll be on tonight or not...

GT: s1ntense

[Panda]

I'd love to test (:

Already got me added, send me an invite sometime (:

[MS eMeRaLd]

ok so it finished,
here's the link http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6405075&player=eMeRaLdEagLe86
let me know what you guys think. i'll hopefully run some customs on it soon.
now to my NARROWS, PIT and CONSTRUCT remakes :)

[phreekopath]

Pit's been done, and some of them are pretty good.
Narrows has a bunch of really crappy remakes already
Construct's lifts may cause a problem... not sure how you'll get around those...

[Simplex]

I added you today. I have it Q'd to download but havent been able to get on :(

[MS eMeRaLd]

i know they've all been made already but the majority have been crap.
i'm still gonna make them all. see what you guys think.

[Imp3nded]

I ran around the map. Nicely done.

Problems:
1. It is so easy to escape the map. I broke the map from 130910923 different angles.
2. There is a frame-rate problem when at the very back of camo (and that's when I'm alone. I can't imagine with a party of eight)
3. The top-mid rails are too tall.
4. Some of the pathways are too narrow, and some of the rooms are too small (i.e. Blue Room)
5. Proportioning is off in a good amount of places.
6. You need to be more resourceful with the items you choose. You're wasting items when you could be using bigger pieces for certain spots.

[MS eMeRaLd]

the frame rate thing i don't think i can do anything about.
top mid rails i will lower if it doesn't affect the map too much.
i will look at the making things a little wider if i can.
proportioning of what?
yeah i certain places i had to use certain items as not to affect other areas of the map but i'll see about using other items in place of what i have now.
thanks for the feedback dude

[Simplex]

I broke the map too :D

[MS eMeRaLd]

u guys will have to show me where you're breaking it and i'll fix it.
if it's with evade then i know what you're doing i think. and if you're at green i know that too

[aratio]

You can crouch slide jump from Top-mid to the high ledge between gold and blue.
From the ledge, you can jump up to the very top of gold and go from there to the very top of blue.

eh, I can just show you later when I'm on unless you fixed it already.

[MS eMeRaLd]

oh thats a new 1. i'll have a look or u can show me, whichever.
suprising what others find on a map :)

[MS eMeRaLd]

just a quick thing
ive been fixing some problems with the map,
made blue a little bigger, tries to fix framerate issues at camo replaced evade with sprint
also due to impended's suggestions i took out bottom glass and replaced some rocks
im gona b looking at making it better in next few hours and it will then be on my fileshare under H3 guardian V2
