Hello GTers!

Again a new map by me. It´s a movielike Tantive IV map. I know sounds a bit boring - but test it. You´ll see it´s a very nice map. A inside map was missing in my series

Sides:

Galactic Empire:

>>Stormtrooper<<
-E-11 Blasterrifle
-SE14r Blaster Pistol
--Concussion Grenades

>>Stormtrooper sergeant<<
-DLT-19 heavy Blasterrifle (better than E-11 rifle)
-SE14r Blaster Pistol
-SoroSuub F-128 Fusion Cutter
--Concussion Grenades
--Smoke Stun Grenades

>>Stormtrooper Commander<<
-T-21 heavy repeating Blaster (better than DLT-19)
-E-11 Blasterrifle
-SE14r Blaster Pistol
--Concussion Grenades
--Fragmentation Grenade
--Bacta Packs

>>Darth Vader<<
-Lightsaber
--Force Pull
--Force Push
--Force Choke
--Lightsaberthrow

Rebel Alliance:

>>Fleetsecurity<<
-DH-17 Blaserpistol
--Class-E Thermal Detonator

>>Pilot<<
-DH-17 Blaserpistol
-DL-44 heavy Blasterpitol (does slightly more damage than normal pistol and shoots quicker)
-SoroSuub F-128 Fusion Cutter

>>heavy Fleetsecurity<<
-A295 Blasterrifle
-DH-17 Blaserpistol
--Class-E Thermal Detonator
--Sonic Detonator

>>Captain Antilles<<
-Alderaanin Blasterpistol (like DL-44)
-DH-17 Blaserpistol
--Class-E Thermal Detonators
--Sonic Detonators
--light Auto Turret

>>Princess Leia<<
-DL-44 heavy Blasterpitol
-E-11 Blasterrifle
--Class-E Thermal Detonators
--Sonic Detonators

The map is bigger than the stock Tantive, has more corridors and rooms. I added many boxes and other stuff, so it doesn´t look empty.

Have fun! :stormie:

Looks decent, I'll try it out.

cool, man.
nice work! :clone:

I played it and it´s definately a VERY good map.
Excellent work dude

Of all the time I've been here, I've never seen another Tantive IV map except for the stock one. Nice work, as always. Downloading now.

Dang, I always love your authentic stuff, Bantha55! D/l'ing now!

Wow, Bantha55, will play it later. Do you like making movie accurate maps or something?

Nah. I don't think he does.

The first map I saw from you was Hoth. I found it on strategie informer because you never uploaded your maps at starwarsbattlefrontfilefront. Since then i searched for more. And I found more. And everytime I played another map from you, I wondered how that guy can make such good maps all the time. All of your maps are great work like this one. I hope we'll se more of you in the future.
Big, fat compliment from me!

Hello.

I enjoyed Tantive IV: Interception, it is a well though expansion of the stock Tantive, I like the use of props in it, I do think you could tone down on the boxes though -the Tantive is not a cargo ship afterall - and I also noticed that some junctions do not feel natural (or should I say "artificial?") to a space ship, most of these junctions are characterized by such models: Classes were interesting to play as, though I'm still a bit confused whether Leia's Blaster Pistol is stronger than her Blaster Rifle or the contrary, I guess that is irrelevant, all weapons pretty much obliterate any common infantry... which bring us to another problem I have with this map: it's too easy to die. Normally I am not bothered by the high damage of the weapons in your maps, for they (the maps) are always expansive, with plenty of space to evade enemies; Tantive IV on the other hand is cramped up, troopers often line up to die in the tight corridors, grenades are almost unavoidable, everyone is an easy target, even with the thoughtfully provided cover it is hard to survive a firefight. I spent more time in the class-selection screen than in-game... therefore, I suggest you increase the endurance of non-hero classes a little.

I praise the movie-like quality of this map, it was just like being in the Tantive IV in a New Hope, fighting to the death against -or along- the fierce 501st. Thank you for releasing your creation.

Thanks thanks thanks! I´m really glad to read all the good ratings.

Let´s see what´ll be the next map. I thought of improving my old maps a little although I´ve already released finals... - but I don´t want to appoint me yet.

First of all: thanks for the big feedback!
Point A) "unnatural" passages: Your rigth, there are some corridor parts who don´t really fit the straight style of space ship interiors. This is because there aren´t really much corridor models and at some parts of the map I couldn´t stick them together propperly so I had to use these escape-pod-tunnels as alternatives...

Point B) blaster differences: Those differences are little. The blaster of leia shoots quicker than the rifle and is more accurate but has less ammo.

Point C) quick death: I know it´s hard to survive and kill enemys in the narrow corridors but if you unlock the better units it´s easier. The stormtrooper commander can take more than one shot and has backta packs, leia and raymus antilles can take more damage than normal troops and vader can take much damage and heels himself automatically with force heal.

I find Vader using Force Heal to be a little ironic.

Totally off-topic: he did use the Force quite often to attempt to heal his lungs during his time in medidation chambers, he wanted to heal as many parts of his body as possible in order to free himself of his tormented life in that armor...

well it didnt work very well, anyway back on topic this map is good not sure if it will stay in my addon folder but I it was still cool

i really like it.it felt like the movie.but i feel these should be changed:

Number of units,theres an afull lot of units..

heros:i dont really like leia and vader as unlockable units..why not use them as normal heros..? and vader is kinda overpowered with all of those force powers.
name on instant action:the name is kinda messeed up,it only says Tantive IV: (to change that open locolization tool and find the map name)

WOW, Bantha, your the best in making maps like this (really fun to play, will stay in addon like all your other maps)

Very good map indeed.
There are a couple of collision problems, nothing major though. But was able to get out of the map with Vader doing the Vader float thing.
Also a bit of AI pooling trying to shoot through walls. There may be a lua setting you can do to can't remember off the top of my head. Could also experiment with an AIVis region for the whole map but not sure ho well that would work.

But it was very fun to play lots of action which is good.

I don´t like heroes with a hero-bar because they die very fast. Unlockable heroes can be used more tactically, you don´t have to worry if you don´t kill an enemy per second that your gonna die. I can´t change that you can only read "Tantive IV:" in the bf2 menu, the name´s just too long. On the loading screen is the full name: Tantive IV: Interception.

Yes I know these collision problems... If you don´t put the Tantive IV corridors togehter like in the shipped map, some of them have these problems...
I tried to get the AI away from the walls with barriers (which I placed around almost every corridor) but some points are free from them and the AI just want to go to the next cp or enemy although there´s no planning... I also added this to my Lua: AISnipeSuitabilityDist(30) but that hasn´t changed anything, I think.

Awesome map! This is the first i played by you and now I feel compelled to download your other maps! One of my fav maps EVER!

Although, the corridors wasn't the best, like said before,
they arent that bad. This is your best map ever. In other maps, your
vehicles are too overpowered, although some like that.
In this map the units are less overpowering. Although it still is 1 or 2 shot KO.
lol
Awesome map!
Cant wait for your other maps bantha!
