How do you get the grass sprites on the ground? I remember reading it a while back...

It does it atomatically in the compile if you make a diplacement with texture that supports the grass sprites. Then in the detail.vbsp can chagne the amount i think.

On the note of Halo, did they ever release a map editor for it like they said they would?

Yeah I believe they did, in fact I think Gearbox released a standalone
Halo version with tweaks and additions that Bungie didn't sanction but
I could be wrong.

Looks reasonable, but the lighting could improve (modify the light_environment setting to make the outside lighting more interesting.
<br>
<br>The pile of leaves right under each tree looks somehow strange and unnatural. Scatter the leaves more.
<br>
<br>The appearance of the arch over the water could use some cosmetic enhancement. It's somehow too "skinny" to me.
<br>
<br>But overall, very good for a first-timer.

Are you people seriously such fanboys that you're judging the map because of the game it's based off of? This was a pretty good Halo map, It might not be too bad in HL2 because of HL2's slower gameplay.
<br>
<br>Looks a little harshly lit to me, though.
<br>
<br>And don't let these fanboys get you down.

I say this repeatedly, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.
<br>do not release this until you acquire some sort of valid feedback, not just posting a few pictures.
<br>
<br>i see potential in this maps author, but also see where he can improve dramatically as well. the map looks fine to me as a first release, as long as its not released without feedback.
<br>
<br>post a link to what you have in the "MAPS" forums before you reach 100% or you will lose a lot of valuable input.
<br>
<br>/ 2 cents.

Great! This is one of my favourite maps in Halo! But, you need to work more on lightning though. By the way, why can't he release a map based on a Halo map? That's why I hate fanboys. (I'm not a Half-Life 2 fanboy)

<br> Yeah and its his first MAP! so be nice to him
<br>*ahem* If we have to be esp. nice to a first map whats the point ,why not take time to make a good one , make 30 or so practice maps and then release one Someday. *my opinion* , maybe im wrong , ive never released a map. The map is kinda 1000 % based on the halo one... if im am correct thats supposed to be shunned in the art world. and if im right again this is the art world. again *my opinion* The lights are too extreme blue , and extreme red. Nice try for a practice map , Good luck in the future . Personnally i would have kept this one to myself

Don't hate the map just because it is from Halo, guys. (fanboys are fagboys ;] )
<br>
<br>I personally don't like the idea because it is from Halo, but because i know for a fact Battle creek is a cramped up, over-vegetated map by Bungie. you should have replicated blood gulch, or something less smushed together. Well done from what i see, though.
