Star Wars Map ideas
Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2005 10:53 pm
Well, I've attempted many times to create a Star Wars-based map for BF, but to no avail. It isn't at all like making JKA maps. So instead, I have turned to all of you great mappers that have mastered it.
Here's some of my ideas that perhaps someone may take a liking to and make (all or most of these can be found in the Star Wars Databanks):
- Hypori: Wastelands - Geonosis-like battlefield of an unihabited planet where one Geonosian hive fled to to continue battle droid production. The battlefield is marked with large amounts of debris, mainly from Republic Cruisers and Gunships. This was the setting of Clone Wars Chapter 20 (The General Grievous Episode). I had pictured it as having a geonosian sky, but with only republic cruisers flying overhead, and the vehicles would include the gunship, at-te and speeders, as well as CIS vehicles I had yet to decide.
- Ilum - Another Hoth-like planet from the Yoda episodes of the Clone Wars Micro-Series. It's basically like hoth, exept more mountainous, harder snowfall, and caves with lightsaber crystals inside.
- My other harder ideas included other Clone Wars locations, such as the Dantooine Plains, Muunilinst, Mon Calimari, Rattatak, Raxus Prime and Jabiim, as well as other EU places such as Ord Mantell, Nar Shadda, Coruscant, and possibly even some locations from KOTOR.
What I've seen thus far map-wise is amazing. I really hope that someone will use my ideas and modify or change them in whatever way they want to add to the BF community. As is obvious from my descriptions, I had started Hypori, but I really didn't understand what to do, and am happy with just being a bystander in BF, since I'm already doing skins and maps for JKA and EF. Of course, I'll understand if no one wants to make any of these, but it would be great to have some of the lesser-known EU locations.
Thanks.

Wow, Tynna is awesome! It's a great battlefield and I especially like that it isn't like any other map out there. Is that a made-up place, or is it from the EU?
