Yeah I tried that too set it up pretty much the same way but decided to stop because of the 100 unit limit.
I think there's a pretty nice list on Reddit, but I don't know if it has ALL of the ones we've seen on GAF , but it definately has most and even some that haven't been seen here. lemme see if I can find it...
Edit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JY8LYf6NMcdGlsoKes7MXnQn8/edit#gid=1715570426
There are over 200 maps listed... I've varying quality of course... But it's well organized so it should be easy to find what you are looking for, and view pics/vids before you download the maps.
Attempted to grab all the maps from this thread that are complete and/or posted their GT so I didn't have to do research on it. Someday, I'll get around to putting a better list together with GTs and map names... Today is not that day.
In my experience I was able to perform the Save function to overwrite, but could not Save As or create a copy. I also tried bookmarking the map and using my wife's account to try and forge it then Save As, but still, the same "save failed" would appear in the lower left.
Not sure what triggered the bug on my map, it worked fine for several long forging sessions then all of a sudden as I was approaching completion I could no longer save as, and the lobby can't "retrieve data." I suspect it has something to do with saving the map with multiple groups, or groups inside of groups... Or perhaps even scripts on grouped and welded objects being copied. Not sure what I did to trigger the bug.
Frustrating. Hopefully it's ironed out soon.
Nice, that's perfect. Thanks!

Yeah I was able to continue working on it at least. Sucks that I have to wait on a fix before I can finalise it though. Thanks for th extra info!
Managed to get spawns done, and all the extra cover/decor. Noticed before I finished for the night that's physics is on 101%...should I be concerned?
Light map is also on 143%.
Whoops.

there's a 40 file limit. not sure if it's shared between gametypes but you can't save new copies if you're at the limit.
also the map will crash the game if physics or collision go over 100%. think object count also crashes the game depending on the kinds of objects used (some of them let you go over 1024 but am not sure which)
going over lightmap only lowers the quality of shadows. unknown what it prioritizes but small objects tend to go first.

First time playing Forge on Halo 5, and damn I'm having a hard time with the controls. I know how great the tools will be when I'll be used to them, but right now I'm completely struggling with it, to the point that I had to stop today after an hour since I couldn't even do anything basic. Simply rotating an object seems hard to do, since it's always missing an axis.

Hmmm. I'm presuming it's stuff like crates that I've placed counting as movable objects. Easily solved I guess. Thanks for dropping the knowledge.
Anyone know of a good spawn/spawn zone tutorial?
While holding Right Trigger for Rotate, you press L trigger to get the other axis
I've also noticed objects sometimes randomly change the axis you are modifying when moving them, so it's better to look away from the object so your cursor isn't highlighting it, then begin rotation

I have these 2 warthogs that are now stuck on my map, cannot select, cannot drive, but I can physically occupy them.
Anyone had this glitch?
If I cant get rid of them I will have to move the whole map...
Ive tried everything

Yup I suspected that, so I deleted all of my files. I have only 1 file on my file share and still can't save a copy. Also, all of my object limits are below max. Very strange bug.
This is awesome! I made a Facing Worlds map very similar to this in Halo 3.
I had a Morbias map too. I don't have Halo 5/Xbox One but I'm tempted to get it just to try and port all my Halo 3 maps over.
It isn't a showstopper, personally, but it was nice being able to make super vertical drops and have teleporter-centric maps not have people on your radar in each room.
*shrug*
Just wanted to update you on this. Randomly, I'm no longer receiving the retrieving data error and I can now save copies of my map. Nothing has changed except the passing of time.

heres the fruits of my labor for today
still in block out stage obviously
in past forge that woulda taken 3 nights, not 3 hours

I'm working on Area 52 from perfect dark again. literally took me like 3 minutes to get most of the map layout down.
edit: halo 4 version that i did
so far in h5 (the important part is done, since that part of the map layout determines the scale of the second floor and the open areas)
the PD map itself

I finally got my map finished. I been working on this since Forge launched lol. I will be putting a YouTube video later tomorrow. For now here is a DVR recording of it through Xbox.
The name of the map is called Sections 5
It's a 4v4 map possible bigger. I have not play tested it and I hope too soon. I want your guys opinion so far for first impression of seeing it.
Edit: One thing to note the spot that I was trying to slide into at the end of the video works on Forge but not in customs -.-... I will be fine tuning that.

Very impressive! No clue how it'll play but I love the geometry
Its nice to see a more Urban feeling map. How it plays is the biggest factor. Looks like it could have an interesting flow but it does have some fairly long sightlines. Fire it up in the next customs!

Hi everybody. This is probably already known but there's a massive forgeable area outside of Empire. It has one of my favorite skyboxes.
Here's a video I made.

Awesome job!
If anyone is super, super bored. Add my GT and run around my new 2V2 Map "Skies and Lows" Trying to make an more open 2v2 Slayer map and I am learning about Weapon Placement and also map control based upon team movement.
As always, it has man-cannons.
Any feedback would be great.

I love this! It looks like a long-lost Halo PC map; specifically it feels a bit like Danger Canyon and Gephyrophobia with some Avalanche thrown in. Even the weapon placement feels really traditional. The CE-style Forerunner doors are a nice touch, too.
Someone already mentioned some of the long sightlines, but other than that it looks very well laid out; it strikes me as kind of an amalgam of ideas from Turf and Headlong, though overall the map also strikes me as having a lot of similarities to Daybreak, albeit with the Mantis replacing Rockets. Aesthetically speaking this also looks way better than Breakneck, imo, and strikes me as the sort of look something like Guillotine should have gone for. Very colorful.
With how easy it is to get out of the default maps, someone really needs to make canvases like how there were back in the Halo 3 days.

This is really well done. I especially like the aesthetics, the windows in shotgun tunnel are great.
While I didn't play it beyond exploring it in a custom, I worry that it may be too dark in the hallways above shotgun, leading to sword.
Another thing to note: I'm not sure if you wanted this or not, but you can ground pound from Sniper to bottom elbow (is that what it's called?) - and from BR tower to upper lift, and lower lift passage.
I actually love this. Huge Halo CE vibes, with a little Halo 3 for good measure.
It's nice to see maps that are more simple in nature, they can provide some nice varied gameplay.

With the mobility of H5 unless I added some serious real estate that kind of mobility is always going to be possible. For now and the playtests we've done I haven't seen it cause too many problems as the flow seems primarily intact.
Good call on the lights I already fixed them this morning adding two spots to bottom mid to light up the ramps.
Thanks for the feedback!
Also thank goodnness for finally exposing invisible blockers (bungie referred to them internally as nutblockers, heh) to us in Forge. You can finally make open top maps without having to make everything a box (H3) or canyon (so people didn't run into the kill boundary in Reach/4)

I want a forge playlist stat. So many cool creations i want to play, but i don't have time to search/browse for. I kind of want to be spoiled and things sorted/filtered to me. is that too much to ask for?
is that too much to ask for? what is the forge budget like on a dev map like this? i imagine a decent chunk is already "used up"? would be awesome if 343 just starting releasing blank canvases for all developer maps.

Looks like most of the FX budget is used. Good thing the budget for everything else is down around 0% - 1%.

Varies based on layout, sightlines, etc. Do you have any screenshots or layout pics?
One thing to consider is how the weapons work relative to the map elements made with Spartan Abilities in mind, too - something like The Rig is clearly designed with SAs in mind and as a result has a bunch of wiry branching paths, open-and-shut sightlines, tight corridors branching together larger areas, etc. that make the Plasmacaster and Scattershot very effective. On the other hand, a map like Fathom has a lot of very predictable, long, linear lines of sight that stretch across the majority of the map - meaning something like the Railgun is actually something teams will attempt to utilize as opposed to, say, an Energy Sword.

session 1
session 2
session 3
Id say all of which were around 3 hours
geometry really close to being feature complete, just need the interior of the center structure
(crates and other movable geo nonwithstanding)
edit:
I still am really mad, I had 2 warthogs glitched into my map and I cannot get rid of them, Im going to have to move the entire map if I cant get rid of them
they are A.) able to be entered by players B.) unable to move C.) non-selectable
nillapuddin
Member
yup
edit: just lost last 40 minutes of progress due to random disconnect, fascinating. thanks game.
fug. if I were to guess, Delete All Of These just runs a loop and deletes all objects with a certain tag, so the Forge data doesn't consider them warthogs anymore. :/

yeah thats the only conclusion I can come to also
Im just going to finish the map, and move the whole damn thing, I dont see any other option
I was able to move the map up over them luckily so they dont stick out, but its still not ideal, you can get in through the floor
