That's because you cheated. And I love it too xD I think my comp does, too, because (as stated above) I have a higher frame rate on this than any other game I've ever played except RC (how is there a 450+ fps in that game lol?)

Well, I finally got to play the newest version of this amazing map, and I must say, this one is even more interesting than the last one, the new game modes as well as the new eras add a lot of possibilities and even more gameplay value to complement the stunning visuals. Everything, from the lighting to the sounds, makes Tatooine: Tuskencamp stand as possibly one of the most polished maps for this game; I like to think of it as a small mod instead of a map.

What particularly grabbed my attention in this version was the attention to detail in the variety of Tusken classes, the KotOR era and the sounds. Playing as a Tusken in Hunt mode was entertaining, I liked to see a gaffi stick wielding warrior, since they are not very common in Tatooine maps; having proper models for each weapon was a nice treat too. The KotOR era seems a bit forsaken nowadays, nobody includes KotOR compatibility in their creations, except for Maveritchell, of course; I guess that's because the graphic quality of KotOR units are a bit outdated by now, mappers prefer more shiny stuff, some may even overlook the creative gameplay in that era, so I'm glad you took in consideration the idea of putting KotOR in, I for one appreciate it. Last but not least, the sounds, I love the sound of a Chaingun firing, love that noise the EMP grenades make when they detonate and absolutely love the Magna Guard's staff having proper sounds, instead of lightsaber ones.

Thank you very much for sharing Tatooine: Tuskencamp with us. :)

Still missing the GCW era, but as I remember you've said that you hate it in the beta (or WIP) topic so I guess there is no hope left.
Anyway as many others said before it is a great map as it is, and is an example how a stock map can be turned into something completely different.

Wow, thanks. That are really some of the things I was focused on. (Didn't pay much attention to KotOR though... xD) :)

Nah, I don't HATE it. I just don't like to mod it and it would raise the filesize very much. Also my knowledge about the GCW is very.... well, incomplete. :lol:


I'm glad to see you guys like it, please post any bugs and suggestions so I can probably build them in before I release this at http://www.swbffiles.com.

1138 was, if I remember correctly, George Lucas' first short movie.

Yes, THX 1138, and THX is also a company founded by George Lucas, for sound and visual technologies.

On topic: This map is probably one of the best I've played. :)

Off-topic: "1138" and "THX" are frequently used in Star Wars material as little easter eggs and homages to Lucas' first film, want an example? Boss' number is 1138.

On-topic: woah-wait wait wait, there are hidden easter eggs? ...is there any hint?
