Basic Information:
Today, September 7th 2008, E3pO & Modder Central are proud to present to you the very first Halo Custom Edition Surf map. The general idea came from Counterstrike-Source, and later transferred over to Team Fortress 2. Late Friday night I decided to test it out on Halo Custom Edition. It failed miserably. After several hundred attempts and failing, i came across something that kinda worked. I tested it over and over again making improvements to the code one try after another. This is how Surf_beta_e3po came to life.


Servers:
As you may already know, there is going to be a 24\7 Surf server online for anybody that wants to try out the latest versions of user-created surf maps. The server info is as follows.

Server IP: ts.wmclan.net:2303
Server Name: :: Surf 24\7 :: E3pO's Surf Server

You can join it at anytime; keep an eye out for the latest surf maps so you don't get kicked from the server for not having a map. An official supported surf map list will be available on the main page of my website, http://wmclan.net/ , there should be a link on the top of the page by the end of tomorrow night (September 8th, 2008).

Beta Testers:
Here is the list of the beta testers for surf_beta_e3po.

E3pO (http://wmclan.net/)
Matooba (http://moddercentral.net/)
Del (http://deltronzero.com/)

If your name is not listed, well, then you didn't beta test it! Happy

Other Information:
There are still many bugs in the way it works, one of which is you can't jump off a flat surface and still have the (TOP SECRET) attribute effecting your player, I will hopefully code this in sometime tomorrow after school(September 8th, 2008).

Creating your own maps:
Its very simple to make a surf map; even a noob can do it! I will be posting a "how to make a surf map" tutorial later tonight (September 7th, 2008). When you play the test map you will pretty much understand how a ramp needs to be made, if you play games like Counterstrike-Source, or Team Fortress you probably have played on a surf server. The maps are basically the same thing, and the concept is exactly the same. Basically youre making a ramp, and then another one, and another one, and a teleport, and then another one. Its that simple! Were always looking for people to join the surf mapping team, so feel free to join at anytime! All you need to do is contact surf@wmclan.net about wanting to join, and we will get back with you as soon as possible.
