The Flaming Ninja Challenge!! - results show | |

In Response To: The Flaming Ninja Challenge!! (pete_the_duck) Wow! In the 7 days since I posted the Flaming Ninja Challenge, over 2,000 ninjas have attempted the course! That's really awesome. I wanted to share some of the feedback I've gotten from the community: "This has been downloaded to annoy my roommate." - xMixMasterX (HBO) "Wow, that looks like major fun, only if I had the legendary map pack >_<." - eguitarplaya33 (Forgehub) "I love ninjas." - slayking44 (Forgehub) "This is actually impossible" - My Local Sniper (Forgehub) "whats so hard about the pallet challenge?" - Orbitalshot (Forgehub) "cool map but could of done better" - CHUGA LUGA (Bungie.net Forum)
I did want to say thanks to Louis Wu for the front page mention, it most certainly helped people find out about the map. I also found out that halobase.de mentioned the map on their front page too. Neat! I guess the proper word is "Vielen Dank" ? ..I hope?
The boxes are perfectly level and are all the same elevation*! They are at a lower elevation than in the original BlackSkyCanvas, but this is with the idea that it is easier to stack boxes on a low foundation to reach a higher elevation than it is to place a box on nothing because the foundation is too high.

*To get all the boxes at the same elevation, I enabled pan-cam so I could view coordinates. Then, in monitor mode, I got myself to an elevation of exactly -4.000 and looked up as far as I could. I then spawned a double/single box and waited for it to finish sliding into position**. Then I saved and quit, locking the box in place. **Because Forge spawns objects perfectly level, square, and at a certain consistent distance from the player, by making sure I was always at an elevation of -4.000, looking as far up as possible, each box would come to rest at the same elevation as the previous (as long as it was the first object I spawned.. I saw some variation with the second). I then tested the map by standing on each box in player mode and checking my player model's elevation, again using the coordinates. They were very, very consistent--from around 3.375 to 3.395. Not perfect, but what I can only describe as an inconceivable variation. I'm certain you'd never know if I hadn't told you :).
The neat thing about Blackout is that you can drop an object into the ocean, at which point it will disappear (be "deleted") without reducing the run time maximum (as long as there is one of that object remaining on the map)--very neat, and unique to this map (versus, say, Foundry).
