Hmmm. Anyway. My battle takes place INSIDE the sinkhole. No ARCs or Tris could fly that low because they would risk hitting something b/c they flew too fast. I'm thinking about possibly adding a base in the control ship core, what do you think?

Makes sense... I mean, it is a command center (or at least appears to be in the movie) and would be logical.

I'm going to add more CPs to the other side of the sinkhole and add one or two in the coreship. I'm also linking different platforms with bridges to encourage the AI to get to other bases quicker (I didn't know this worked, but it does! :P ). This isn't the sinkhole from the movie by the way, just one of the random ones from the planet itself. It will NOT look like the one form the movie architexture-wise. :) I'm have one CP suspended on a platform over the middle of the sinkhole with some bridges coming out of it. (Don't look down!) :D

I don't recall any water in the one in the movie...

Anyways, I really think you should add plenty of tunnels throughout the sides of the sinkhole, with plenty of dead-ends and cliffs and stuff. It'd just be a huge maze, and would make the whole thing more exciting and more like movies. And remember, I can always help with it. If you ever need something like a skin or some help with a problem, just ask me. I'll try to help in any way I can.

If you could do some decent EIII clone skins, that would be nice. :) I just added the two bases for the Core Ship. :D And to fly down to the bottom of the pit takes some work. You have to continuously turn your jet pack on and off to keep from dying, so you don't have to worry about the AI getting down there. And if you get down, you can't get bakc up, so no point in any human player going down there. And I may add tunnels to the second release, but I think the initial will only have the outer CPs, nine of which are complete. Yay! And Arctrooper, I will work to add gunships, and maybe Vulture droids, but no walkers or gorund vehicles. It would be kinda pointless to them, because you could not maneuver at all.

remember schizo obi wan fell into the water and swam out. i WANNA PLAY THIS MAP. so this is a different whole like some gunships traveled to another one. Good idea, Schizo if you can use a paint tool try making a episode 3 style gunship it has like a black cockpit and a blue door it would look cool im sure they have a pic on starwars.com ill try and find one and post it

Alright, find a pic, and I'll see what I can do.

And Alpha, I'll start on those Ep. III clone skins. It may take me a couple days to finish, and there are other people who've made Ep. clone skins, so I don't know if you'd just rather get them from someone else, or have some custom made ones that'll take a while to finish. I'd pick the latter, because then you can choose what color troopers you want and stuff, and have more freedom to make it how you want. But it's up to you; wait a bit and get the colors of your choice, or don't wait and get some pre-made ones by someone else.

And Arc, I don't remember the part with Obi-Wan falling in the water... hmm... I'll have to watch that again when it comes out on DVD...

k, if you are a really skilled panter, you can add the special arc trooper gunship, with the eyes and like blue stuff. its part of the animated series, got to http://www.starwars.com/clonewars/micro ... er/20.html, and watch the movie. you see the ship in the movie. it would be cool if someone could do that

EDIT

also, you can get the red trooper, or some of the weapons there. they have a lot. mabey like change the ARC so that it fires 3 or 4 little homing rockets at a time. i know someone that might do that

Trooper colors, hmm. I'll have to think on it. It's alright if it takes a while, the map will take a little longer too. Yes in the book Obi-wan falls in water, so...but this isn't the same hole.

Anyone who you know that could help is welcome to it. And the custom gunships would be cool, but only if you have the time, Schizo.



I'm still testing the map and stuff and the battle in the corship is going well, I just need to raise the height ( I can fall through the base :p). It'll be a fun map, 'cause if you try really hard you can find fun places where you can walk through walls and things. You won't notice them unless you're not partaking in the battle at all though. :) I've got six or seven bugs that need fixing now (mainly raising and lowering bridges and ramps).

I'll post screens when all that is sorted out. The beta version will only be infantry most likely and I won't upload it to GT, PCgamemods, ect. I'll use my svaefile account and only the people who view the topic will know where to get it.

but theres water in every hole. i mean you said dont look down so i just said fill the bottomwith water then when people fall they will suffer the bogas fate :(

Post by Alpha »

Boga was the lizard's name, but that's beside the point. :P Anyway, I may add water eventually, but not now.

I just added more platforms undreneath the brides that span the lower area of the hole so you cna pass between them as a jet troooper.

You still wanting my Ep3 skins?

Hopefully I can release the Weapon Expo Mod and you can use the LvL file... or I can send the TGA's after you have played with them and seen what I got.

OR I can make you all the yellow/orange clones of the 121st Assault Unit which Cody led into the sink hole in Ep3...

@OOM-9 Sorry, I forgot! Yes, the Utapau yellow/orange clones would be nice. :)

@Schizo Can you make a skin of the gunship that is in arc's post?

Map update:

I'm adding a lower series of command posts.

It adds up to 11 CPs right now and possibly up to 15, so if someone could tell me how to up the reenforcements to 400 or 500? I think 200 might make a shorty battle, but I'll have to test it a while and see.

EDIT: All CPs are now complete. I'm not going to add anymore and the final count is 14 total. I'll start taking screenshots when I finish editing the sky file.

EDIT2: Next time someone posts I will post the five new screenshots!!!
