GOW2 pack will be big regardless. Textures make big file packages, meshes add up to be quite big too.

[darksin]

i already got that big texture pack before, so this time only need this outpost pack, it's just 38m, great...

Feedback later..

[darksin]

OK, played it, very great layout level strusture design, theron's work is really amazing , Masterpiece again,

Optimized very well as always. Really big map , lance is nice, but somewhat small, Horde will fitted perfectly...

What a shame no GOW2 PC, but now theron just made our dreams comes true....

[XxXbObXxX]

When I played this map, I was blown away. Somewhat big map for TDM, wich is a shame, but everything else was pure perfection.

10/10

Superb work, as always.

[theron]

Thanks for comments guys!

Somewhat big map for TDM, wich is a shame

When I first started working on this map I knew that I want to make a Lance version first. Lance is working really well on small maps ie: (RedAlert) etc... and thats what I wanted to do in the beggining, small map similar to Sanctum, but later on I decided to make it symetrical/mirrored map... It ended up being bigger than I though but it was already too late for changes since I wanted to release it before 2012... I'm still thinking about making smaller version of it.... dunno we will see.

[darksin]

Well, the gauntlet mode is TDM , those old elite mode just too small..because of bot life limit, anyway Horde will fit well....

[XxXbObXxX]

I'm still thinking about making smaller version of it....

Dont worry about that, it is a map suitable for horde atleast, your piece of art will not go to waste. Besides, we would all appreciate more if you bless us with another godly, holy, sexy map, like Mercy, before: december 21 2012..

[Bspencer]

I wish this was one of the maps, its like a revamped Security which I am campaigning for. REVAMP old maps, not RECYCLE!

[darksin]

No need to make it smaller man, lance is too small, and many limitation settings, the bot AI won't search the whole maps to find you ...

when there's fewer bot in map, you have to go and find them yourself,

but the lance gaunlet mode is similar to TDM ,so it's kill limit, not bot life limit, much better, although the kill limit is still very low...

So Horde will fit this kind of map perfectly, like Bob's Horde mod, play crazy fun ...

[NervuzRek]

Nice map!

[MajesticRider91]

hi,
i'm new to this part of the forum. does this stuff only work for the pc version of gears of war or is there also a way to play it on the xbox 360?

[Drone *]

Only works on PC

[xxsourze91xx]

what is this???

[Drone *]

what is this???

It's a map with Kantham's 'Lance' gametype

[xxsourze91xx]

so you can only get it if you have gears of war for the pc

[Drone *]

Yup you got it in one

[xxsourze91xx]

naw i dont have 1 but i heard its cool

[Drone *]

naw i dont have 1 but i heard its cool

Lol, I meant that you answered your own question

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

I can't seem to get this map to work properly. Upon starting it, I'm greeted with this big, black box (http://imgur.com/IqeLB,iY8Zo). While the bots work fine, there seems to be incomplete background textures (http://imgur.com/IqeLB,iY8Zo#1). I've downloaded the Gears 2 package and placed it into the right place. Any suggestions?

[Drone *]

That seems like something to do with the Gamepack package, that black box should have a logo of some sort in it if I remember which is stored in that package.

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

I'm inclined to believe that the Gears of War 2 package being used by the H.I.V.E. mod is conflicting with the package needed for LGE_Outpost. Even though the two go in different folders, the game seem to be only able to read one (probably because they're the same name). I'm unsure whether renaming will do the trick since that'll screw up the entire hierarchy if another file references the package. I'll do a bit more testing. If it does boil down to having to choose between a map and an excellent mod, I'd go with the latter.

EDIT: Now I'm not sure if it has anything to do with H.I.V.E. at all. I renamed H.I.V.E.'s GoW2 package and LGE_Outpost is still broke. Can anyone verify that this map is working properly with the given downloads?

You only need 1 copy of the package So just delete one.

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

They're different sizes though, which leads me to assume they hold different content. I guess I should keep the bigger of the two?

EDIT: Doh! Nevermind, they're not different sizes. The date stamps are different though, but I don't think that matters.

Try it, but keep a back up just incase. I would imagine the hierarchy of the bigger package is the same with just more stuff added onto it so it should be ok.

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

Might the generated .ini files have anything to do with the bug?

[Drone *]

Not sure, I don't think so. UE3 just doesn't like having more than 1 package of the same name so it will through an "ambiguous package" error.

I now only have one copy of the package, but am still without luck. Does the placement of it matter? H.I.V.E. instructs its users to place it into the Environments folder while LGE_Outpost says to put it under CustomMaps. From what I can tell, Gears seems to just read through every folder until it finds the package, but I'm not too sure. Regardless, I already tried multiple combinations of where the package might be placed, all to no avail. Quite peculiar, since it seems to have worked for the previous users in these forums.

Man do you have LGE_Gamepack_E or something like this which is needed for games UI

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

Man do you have LGE_Gamepack_E or something like this which is needed for games UI

Yeah, I have that. All other LGE maps work fine. It's just Outpost.

[bmbr1990]

have you downloaded LGE or Gauntlet pack?

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

I realized I was testing this map with Lance Elite when it seems to be for Gauntlet. Using the new .upk resolved the black box that displays the countdown timer. Unfortunately, the textures are still fudged up.

EDIT: Upon discovering that LGE_Outpost worked on my laptop, I dug through the files to find that I was missing a .upk file tailored for the map along the name of Gears_2_Package_Outpost.upk (I'll update it to the exact name when I'm back home). I can't for the life of me figure out how this file wound up on my laptop's Gears and not my desktop's, especially since the package file up for download on the first page of this post offers only the vanilla Gears 2 package.
