mygeeto: the clone wars

hi all!

inspired by the clone wars series i made a mygeeto remake, clone wars style. originally i just wanted to do this for my own because mygeeto seems to be my favorite map.
this is my first side mod ever and i have to say it turned out to be real fun so i decided to release it. gameplay is good balanced even with all those changes i did to the sides:
Hidden/Spoiler:
the heavy trooper is now a demo specialist and carries a dc-15e (=dc-15a with underbarrel grenade launcher) and demo charges. he has no rocket launcher and he has standard health and standard speed.
the engineer has been changed to a heavy weapons specialist who is armed with that underhand minigun. as he carries a very heavy weapon he is slower.
the sniper is a scout now. i tried to imitate the scouts seen in the clone wars movie by reskinning dragonum's commander cody.
the jet trooper's emp launcher model has been changes into that of a t-21 which i don't know who i have to credit for.
captain rex has an authentic, correct skin and he carries an improved dc-15a with a higher firing rate. he also fields an eweb gun. there is only one captain rex. note: the eweb falls through the ground when setting it on the streets. that is related to the mygeeto map itself. this issue turned out to be good for tactical balancing since you cannot place the eweb in the middle of the street and slaughter droids. you can place the eweb on platforms for example (you will find out).
i added a blizzard commando unit to the rep side. he carries a dlt-19 with an underbarrel grenade launcher as first weapon.
the rep hero is anakin. the deflecting has been changed similar to that known from bfx which makes more sense and is even more fair and fun to play.

the super battle droid is now really a super battle droid. one could compare them to a moving tank. he moves slower but has 800 health. the wrist blasters have now muzzle flashes.
the officer has been changed to a magna guard with an electro staff. his health is also 800 since i couldn't figure out how to get the deflecting working without crashing the game when playing as cis or rep hero.
speaking of which, the cis hero is count dooku's assassin asajj ventress. her defleting is the same as anakin's.
i added a commando droid to the cis side which carries a modified rifle (same values as the blizzard's weapon) and a bulldog.

on the rep side i have put at-rt's in there instead of hover tanks.
the aat skin and the at-rt skins have been changed and the at-rt's secondary weapon is the same as a hover tank's with different trail effects.

some weapons have modified scopes (scope textures) which look better.
some units have been given backpacks.
bolts/lasers have been changed in color, also the minigun's bolts are now blue which you can actually see.
the sky has been changed to that of a dusk-like sky.
there is so much i am pretty sure that i forgot something. but a pictures tells more than 1000 words so let's cut that verbal diarrhea...

note: this is not a mod for children. don't expect any super weapon, every unit has its strength. the dtl-19 for example has a slightly lower firing rate but packs a good puch. you cannot stupidly run and cut through enemy units or celebrate a spray and pray "tactic". that would only cost you ammo.

all the skins i used and a couple of bonus skins you can get here:

i hope you enjoy that mygeeto remake. thanks to gametoast and all the toasters.
have a good time!

Looks nice. I'm downloading something else right now, but when it's done, I'll download this.

Wow, looks really good for a first mod! But with these sides, you should create your own map.

I'll give it a try.

The sides are very professional for a first time i mean it feels like a different game with these new sides but for the next version you should get a tri droid and add some new thinks to the original mygeeto map like a venator or somethik like that or make a new skywalker model.

:eek: :eek: :eek: the sides are just so cool! :bowdown: and, it was a clever thing to make it harder :thumbs: . its just so boring when its too easy and youre a destroyer/ego shooter. im getting :sick: of it. and, for the next update, what with dual pistols for rex :jango: ? and a clone wars anakin! that old ep3 skin is so incredibly boring. and maybe new sounds (voices)? both for clones and for anakin :vader2: ? that would make this mod/map very many d/l's. i think you can find those voices from clone wars at some internet page. if you add a voice that was for rex-only, it would have been the best map for a loooong time! maybe make the map a little bigger too, add republic gunships that can hover in mid-air, and give the cis some staps with extra power. shield for the Blizzard Commando. and a little more ammunition for the SFOR carbine, i loved that bullet effect for it.

oh, and firstly, sorry for double post, but i give this one (because of the INCREDIBLE sides) 10/10. those others are right, these sides is really made like the proffesionals do it. :thumbs:

thank you very much for your kind comments!
i am really glad that obviously some people like it that way.
but do you really think i should make a next version?
stupid thing is i just don't have any clue of mapping. i was even happy when i realized that i got ventress to work because i never added units before.
maybe there is someone out there who wants to make a clone wars map or another cannon map with me being responsible for the sides.
but concerning this remake i maybe will change some effects and give the republic that open at-pt (without canopy) instead of the at-rt.
the ammo for the jet trooper's sfor carbine is that low for "realistic" reasons because he cannot carry much ammo due to his jet packs and loss of agility. i gave him a third weapon to make him more fun to play but i didn't want to overpower him. perhaps i should cut his pistols.
right now i am playing around with the map and the sides. i indeed wanted to have an acclamator in the sky but i still couldn't hack it.
and yukisuna: thanks for that 10/10. it was just my intention to give the game a more adult feeling which in my personal opinion starts with the 1st person views and ends with weapon handling.
for now let me say thanks again and have a good time toasters!

some credits to fix:
-the underhandchaingun was made by caleb
-commander cody (with jetpack and visorguard) was made by OMM-9 and Qdin (maybe Majin Revan too)
-its Syth not S.Y.T.H.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but can I ask you a question DarthD.U.C.K.? How do you keep track of such things? Do you have a list or something?
I find it amazing how you apparently know by heart who should be credited. Of course, that is kind and useful of you, I believe modders appreciate it.

Since I'm here, I'm going to say I liked the sides very much, to quote Nova Hawk:
Nova Hawk wrote:But with these sides, you should create your own map.
Or at least join someone who knows how to make them.

Its cool and all but i think that Kinetos Impetus' version of Rex is muck more better than the Rex you have on the map

well, mine isn't even done yet, :roll:
keller's actually looks more accurate in some ways, it has battle scarring and the helmet is more correct

The skins look really nice, as with the backpacks on the clones. Definitely worth a download here.

I made one, Caleb made one. The key difference is the one I made has a fore hand guard, removed the original fore grip (bazooka style handle) and I flipped some of the details around (vents on opposite side).

The one Commander_Keller used is the one I made.
