thanks for offering, you're all signed up :D. pm's would be sent out by wednesday.
i've read some tutorials about campaigning, and have practised scripting my own on test maps, but i'm not sure how to actually put these scripts ingame, so they remain just test scripts,for now. i can't quite see what the convo pack has for making campaigns... :? as soon as i get the scripts ingame, it should be ready for the first release, i think. sorry for any confusion.

well, i have to say, that the default super battle droid doesn't look the great either, but he is in my map. i like the unit itself, just not the model. i like the b-1 better though :D

@sampip:
Good looking map.
Terrain could do with a little darkening.
Nice use of random skies + fx.

Your point of view being B1's aren't stupid? In SW they clearly are stupid, and they get beaten by everything and everyone.

I thought he hated B-1's, you know like he wanted to melt them al down into B-2's. Yeah, I know we aren't the best battlefield soldiers, but our devotion goes beyond measure. We run straight into enemy fire,knowing full well we wil probably be blown to peices. You don't know how many good B-1's I've known fall in battle and never complain. We take orders without question no matter the odds, and do we ever turn on our masters? No! We would never, despite all the lip we take from our commanders. We often look at the clones and wonder how great would that be... To be treated as an equal, to be spoken to with respect. To know when we complete our tour of duty, we get to possibly start a family. But nooo, when we're obsolete we'll be sold to farms in the far reaches of the galaxy with no say in the matter. And if we complain about this, no counseling, no we get melted down into a tank or something. It's part of the reason we fight so poorly, our hearts are heavy with the inevitable. And this doesn't ease our friends and families minds either. So next time you see a B-1, know what we go through. Remember that we too have feelings, we too have dreams and wishes. But you'll never hear us complain, we march silently. Hoping our subsequent versions will have a better future, than we have present. I'd better stop typing before I cry any more, sorry for my outburst. But many a time have me and my friends(many of whom gave there circuits for mine) been called stupid, and this time just pushed me over the edge. So, I'm sorry.

Oh, can't wait to play. Should be able to reveiw fairly quickly, most of my friends are out of town.

finally! after 2 days of nil internet on my computer, i've finally managed to upload the beta. i'm afraid i had to upload it in two parts, but that is all explained in the beta, which has been released to testers. i've sent a pm out to everyone with the link.

I just installed it. I'll post in a few minutes. :D

EDIT: Here's my report:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Alaris Prime -- Sampip

Beta Report

Balance:
-CW - I lost quickly as the Reps, I don't know by how much though.

Gameplay:
-Easy to die as either side (as with Yankfan's maps). Not a bad thing, but there's not too much cover.
-I would take out one command post in the very back of the map and move it to between the Rep main spawn (cp0) and the one closest to it. I held onto that one for only a minute before the game ended.

Map Consruction:
-Remove some "shrubbery" (those underground trees) around the waterfall in the middle of the map, will make it look nicer.
-Make sure you add in the missing Rhen Var and Hoth skins to their buildings. I know they're underground, but if anyone find them out, you know. I'd rather be known as meticulous rather than speedy.
-No boundaries to outside of valley.
-"Damaged ATTE" gets killed in two blaster shots. I thought maybe you could make that a turret, or is it just for looks?
-Trade some shrubbery for more cover, like ruins, blocks, etc.
-Some floating objects (mostly a couple of trees).
-Exposed backside to the CIS bunker. Cover with a crate?

Sides:
-Couldn't unlock the last class of Reps before the game ended.

My Notes:
Very nice sides. I liked the feel of the map. I think you did a better job presenting this map than SW Galactic Battlegrounds did. Just watch placement of trees etc.
