New Editing Tools and Ideas

[BattleCop88]

I created this post with hopes that 343i will see it and consider these ideas and others from other forgers posted on these sites. We can all put our heads together and think of ways to truly tap the creative potential of the Halo fanbase.

 

So far, here are my ideas:

-Truly "Normal" Physics- When I was forging, I attempted to create a trap on my erosion map that would allow rocks to cave into the base underneath. As you all would predict, it would fail. The rocks remained stationary. Perhaps there should be a fourth physics setting: "Natural" or "Newton" physics, that when enabled for an editor's desired structural object, will allow that object to react to certain forces during both editing and gameplay, similar to scenery objects. I think this opens the door for more creative multiplayer creations that could tie into my other ideas below. Example: With this feature, domino effects can be set up.

 

-"Adhesive" Tool- When toggled on a certain object or objects, it allows them to "stick" together, making it easier to move entire clusters or groups of placed items. With "Natural" Physics, objects will react together. Example: With enough force, such as from a high-speed collision or explosives, an entire building can be collapsed.

 

Other ideas and new items will be added to this request list over time. Please share thoughts, ideas, and discuss.

You realise that this is a fan created forum, right? It's not official, 343i do check the site but only the news page to make sure that the guys here don't do anything that might make them angry.

Aye, adhesive tools would be quiet a charm... Unfortunately, Byte over here is right. They barely read this forum, but hey, at least something's something...

Oh yes oh yes

 

Adhesion tool all the way!!

 

So many times I wished I could rotate a cluster of things..

 

.. or even a whole map

 

Great idea!!

Oh... Im new around here. At Bioware they have one centralized forum that the developers get engaged in. Obviously this fanbase is larger but I want my voice heard. Will somebody direct me to the forums they actually read?

The official forums are at halo.xbox.com but they don't read them.

I think that you want to post on the Halo Waypoint official site forums.

If only we had the editor Trials HD, and Trials Evolution has....the possiblilities are endless.

You got some pretty solid ideas, if you want 343 to potentially look in to these though you may want to post this on the waypoint forums.
