Dune Sea: Sunset Version 3.0 Released

This is a conversion of the classic BF1 map Tatooine: Dune Sea. I know there's already a very good version in the conversion pack, and that's why I've made it slightly different by changing the lighting, and sky to try and convey an evening setting. I've added all the usual vehicles and flyers that are in the stock set up, and also brought back the republic speederbikes that were in the first game as well as Lord Bandu's Sith Speeder. I was also bored with the stock Clone side and used DYFX Phase II white skin for the infantry and Jet Trooper. Updated version 3.0 includes support for Maveritchell's "Dark Times II: Rising Son" mod. This is most probably the final version. My next map will be of my own design :)

Thanks! The ground textures are the same as the stock Dune Sea, but I've only used 3 layers instead of 5. I think the problem is that BF1 uses a different lighting system to BF2, and the only way I could replicate the same shade of color was to copy over the tat1.wld file from BF1 to my world1 folder without saving it in BF2 zeroeditor first. The only problem was that doing it this way would take out the shadows that I initally put in.

maybe you can get an realistical texture if you catch the one from Mos Eisley (BFII)

I tried that, but had no effect. I think the problem lies with the terrain file tat1.tga, which you can't change outside of the editor.

OK, I feel a complete idiot, I've just figured out how to the lighten the terrain. I had to burn the terrain after putting the light colors all to 255. Found here: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=3915

Result! I'll re-release it soon then. I've just got to do a bit more tweaking, and bug fixing.

Good point, but the only problem is I'm using Phase II Clones, so I would have to change them to Phase I.


Edit: Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:34 am. Actually, now I think about it Darth maul wasn't at the time of Phase II Clones either. Now I'm in a pickle :faint:

Bah, who cares, Maul is a fun hero. I don't see why canonocity should matter for a simple round of conquest.

I haven't downloaded the map yet, but judging by your updated screenshots the finished product will be beautiful. :thumbs:

Or you only change Maul (what will be bad because there is his speeder) and say it's the time when Anakin comes back to tatooin to kill all Tusken :mrgreen:

Thanks Eggman. I think I'll keep it as it is. Being canon is just too complicated.

As his speeder's there I'll be keeping him in, and Anakin in episode II is what I was thinking of, sort of.
Great minds think alike :P
