Well, I'm sure some of you have seen the screenshots in the Glamour Shots thread, and I feel that now is the time to open a WIP thread.

FEATURES


All maps feature Archer01's excellent Hero Support script (but only single player). Some units will make use of kinetosimpletos' random msh script. (Rouge Stormtrooper, Rebel Soldier, Rebel Sniper, Stormtooper Gunner, Imperial Officer, etc...). Each maps features excellent reskins by AQT, B.I.G._Cookie, and RougeKnight. Several new detailed models have been included, mostly from DEVISS and IndianaJoe (more on that later). Some maps (Naboo, Kashyyyk, Yavin 4, Geonosis, Felucia) have random skys/enviroments.

If you have a map you would like to have in the mod, I would be more then happy to include it. (it does not have to be a canon map) Also, if you have map that needs a few touch ups ( minor prop placement, barriers, pathing, mini-map) I will be willing to use it after IndianaJoe and I finish it. :D

I will be taking suggestions, but please don't feel insulted if I don't use them; IndianaJoe and I have been working very hard on this and most of the ideas are finalized. ;)

Release date: When its done. :P

I asked him if I could finish it and use it in the mod and he said yes. :)

(btw, thanks for letting us use your Mimban map, it looks epic :thumbs: )

Coruscant is just for fun ;) (no storyline there) and the Yavin Battle is actually based off of this battle:

Well, I have BFX (keeping for sure) and DT on my main PC
and BFX and Convopack on my laptop.
I could delete BFX on my Main computer, but then I couldn't have online play. :( (BFX online is the best IMO)
What to do...
