Announcement- DRAYATA: The ghost of Lord Bandu

Since Squipple and myself figured out the non-ZE lighting Glow technique I am gonna start mapping again.

The 1st map ( and a kind of 'glow-testmap') will be on a planet named 'Drayata'. Drayata is a made up Star Wars planet where a long time ago the mysterious Lord Bandu , previously a Jedi Knight , learnt to harness the power of the dark side thro the many mysterious Force Alters situated among the treacherous, dead terrain.

Fast forward a few hundred years . The Clone Wars has reached an all time high. Count Dooku stumbles accross the dead planet , Drayata . Dooku had previously thought Drayata was merely a myth . He never truely believed that these alters existed , alters which could give the strong minded force user powers that even Darth Sidious could only dream of. He had heard much about how Lord Bandu had turned Drayata into a Sith stronghold and destroyed fleet anfter fleet of Republic ships using an array of 'exotic dark side powers.....again Dooku ,until now , laughed off such claims.

Dooku see's the finding of Drayata as his chance to over throw Darth Sidious and rule the galaxy himself. All he needs is time to figure out the secrets to the ulitmate force powers . Out of nowhere a fleet of Republic Venators appear in the atmosphere....



lol still workin on the story :D


Heres a few pics of 1 of the Dark Side Alters you will find in the map.

You know, that glow really does make it look excellent! :wink:

Nice job Bandu.

Did you invent Lord Bandu or is he from EU?

I invented him for my Star Wars Galaxies char. 'Aldro Bandu' was my name . It changed to Lord Bandu when I registered at GT.

Very interesting, looking forward to this map, especially since it's by one of the most skilled SWBF II mappers...
But here's a random(ish) question. Was your map's name inspired by Darth Traya from KotOR II? :p

Edit: Cleared the question up... forgot a word before.

Good thing your back Bandu. Nice Idea for a map. When dooku or someone goes in, or underneath the tower, are their powers going to be inhanced in any way?

That sounds cool, maybe if u can put in a Damage increase in the tower so u get it when u get in the tower. That would be great (and if possible to get the damage increase in there, then also increase the damage increase it's effect) Sounds like another great map, as usual :D
