Abyssissa Alpha Version Release

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 12:39 pm

No pun intended in the title, of course.

This is the Alpha Version of my Abyssissa map. The goal here was to make known how useful the conversion pack can be in making a simple map. With new sides for the Republic and two new vehicles, this only comes out to bing 13 MB in size. Here's the map info:

Clone Wars Story:
The Confederacy has holed up in a fortress on Abyssissa ready to take what the Republic can throw at them. Aided by Asajj Ventress and new CIS technology, they plan to stop the Republic's 9th Division lead by Quinlan Vos, recently back from his role as a spy for the Republic.

Galactic Civil War Story:
Kyle Katarn has accopanied the Rebel Forces into the planet Abyssissa to work with extracting CIS technology from a former stronghold of the Separatists. Unbeknowest to the Rebellion, the new prodegie of the Empire, Thrawn, has arrived to spoil the Rebels' excavation of the fortress. The unprepared Rebels are forced to use the decades old CIS technology to combat Thrawn's forces.

Zaborack, do you have conversion pack 1.7.5 or up? If not it won't work.

Awesome Alpha! I can't wait for this to be a final version. The battle seems, well, deserted. You need more troops, maybe an XL mode!

EDIT: Oops, didn't see that was one of your bug fixes...

That it is. And zaborack, do make sure that you have the conversion pack or it will not work, as arty said. There will be more troops in the next version, yes.

The map was fun but the turret says Im a bug-report me. Also, some of the textures are flashing sort of because of other objects.

Zaborack · Post by **Zaborack** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 5:50 pm

but i do have the v1.7.5 conversion pack.....
i think ill upgrade to 1.7.6 just to be sure....
EDIT: i just checked trough my AddOn folder to notice that the only map i miss is Yavin: temple(YV2) i dont wanna spend two hours downloading just to get one map, so im asking for the biiiigest favor ever: could someone please just upload their YV2 to a site and then PM me the link to ti? i have been looking forward to this map very long and then this happens. please people!

I would upgrade, that should help. And yes, some of the textures do flash. *adds to report list*

EDIT: zaborack, YV2 should come in the 1.7.7 patch which isn't too large (219 MB). I recommend using a Download Accelerator as well, it cuts the time down immensely. I'll upload my YV2 folder is Tean' says it's OK.

Don't doublepost my friend

There's an edit button

Nice map

I love those vehicles
Getting upon the roof with an ATST and blasting the rebels away is great fun

Yes,this Map is great,Alpha
I dont mention any Bugs (I read your To do List) but if you fix the Water, look at the Bridges Map from spacerocker.The Water in this Map is awsome.

The Cydon Prax Fighter Model looks very good but why you use it in the Rebels Era?
Cydon Prax was Count Dooku's right-hand man after Jango Death at the Battle of Geonosis.
I recommend to use it at CW and Dooku as Hero not Thrawn (btw Thrawn looks nice too)

The Quinlan Vos Skin reminds me on Tommy from `PREY`He looks very nice.
Here`s a Screens: http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5784 ... otsxk3.jpg

If you fix the Bugs from to do List the Map will be awsome.

@ Zaborack:
Your crash must be another Problem.I use Bf Pack 1.77 without YY2 (Yavin 4 Temple.) I have some Localisation Problems with the new Units (just like the Maps from BF1 Pack)but it works,I use German DVD Version.

Those shadows are seriously screwed, they detracted majorly from the gaming experience.

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:31 pm

@Darth_Maul
The shadows are screwed IF you turn the quality on a certain setting, otherwise they are not.
@Alex'
I didn't know the origin of the tank and thought it looked cool, lol. I'll probably replace it. The premise of the GCW era having CIS vehicles was that they found the old CIS fortress and didn't have any vehicles on hand to fight the Imperials but the obsolete Separatist hardware. And localization is not yet finished.

@HawkSolo
I don't know why that would be. I'll run it in BF2modtools and see if I get any errors.

I'm downloading now, my review is yet to come, although I can say that the screen look very promising.

So I'll have to have all of the SWBF 1 conv maps in there, or can I just insert certain ones so I can play this map? :/ Wish I didn't have to insert all those other maps into my addon to get this to work.

Space-Rebel-Pirate-Thing · Sat Oct 14, 2006 8:54 am

Savefile's a bit screwed for me at the moment. Could you put it up on rapidshare/filefron/etc.??

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 9:53 am

I tried to upload to filefront but it was not complying at the moment. I'll try uploading it there again.
