This map looks beautiful! I'm sure you must have a unique ambient sound stream to go with the atmosphere...right?
Actually, no. I was thinking about using the soundtream of hoth, but i think the snowstorm is a little too intense for that one. If you have one that might go well just PM me.

AQT suggested the same . I'm considerating getting this flora, but I will see what I can make here at home. Also, if I get bobfinkl's flora I'll might make it a little darker (if it isn't against the law) :lol:

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions and positive comments guys!!! :thumbs:

Whoops! Sorry, I just wanted to be helpful. But I do agree with GAB. The foliage would look better a little darker. Maybe just fiddling with the contrast might do enough.

The snow storm in this map looks really cool especially in the second and fourth pictures. Are you going to have custom units?

In this version no. Maybe in the future version...

EDIT: You know, I think I will tweak the unit skins a little bit and see what i can get...

Of course it isn't, however your lighting you have ingame should affect the trees to be darker accordingly to the rest of your props. I wouldn't see a need to change it.

Like everyone else said, excellent job the environment looks great.

You don't need to go too over the top with the unit skins. What might be cool would be if you tweaked the msh's to all be galactic marines. That might be a cool touch. Maybe you could download the TCW snowclone trooper model/skin and just use that. There are also a lot of CIS skins on SWBFFiles. I'm pretty sure there are a couple solid droid skin packs there.

I have some Wolfpack trooper skins if you want them, might look good on this map.

Great job with this map! It is looking very nice.

It's hard to tell from four screen shots. But, It looks like this map may be pretty large?

Good Job,
Looking Forward to it. I will Beta if needed.

Well, in a scale from 1 to 10 where ten is huge, I'd say the map is going to be about 6 or 7. In other words, it's going to have more or less the size of the stock kashyyyk map, I think.

At the moment I'm not working on the map because my computer is suffering from some really serious problems, like sudden blue screens of death and freezes, and I think I will only get rid of these problems when I update my hardware, which is something I hope to do really really soon :yes:

And make sure you save a copy of this map's source files to a USB or something. It's too good to lose.

Yes, please do this! Many great maps that could have been have been lost to the world because of this (The Aldura Campaign... I say no more).

Oh, it's been some time since the last time I did it. But after that I've also re-installed Windows a couple of times, completely formatted the hard drive, installed Windows on different drives, run the computer with the on board video card instead of the off board one, tried different RAM memories, updated the drivers and etc, but the problems still persisted. That's what makes me think the problem is related to motherboard or/and processor, which were the only guys that were the same in the different tests I did. So I'm planning to replace these as soon as possible. (I might send my computer to a technician before doing that too)

Don't worry man, the mod is safely backed up on an external HD, as well as my other mod.

The atmosphere looks AWESOME! I hope you get your computer fixed soon. I know how it is to have computer issues. Once I had no OS for 3 weeks. Some of the most frustrating weeks of my life. Well, maybe. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll let you guys now when I'm back into modding, which I think is going to happen soon. (I hope :D)
