Looking nice you have a knack for posters

Announcement:

Both these maps, thanks to an offer from Grev and Zerted's awesome 1.3 patch, are going to get a bit more content. Both will now get:

GT Conquest era.
- (go look at Catacran or GTHA beta release for more info). Six units/team + hero.
Sith vs. Jedi era.
- (possibly....)

Also, Kadrala will get:
Hunt Mode:
-CW era - Clones vs Acklays.
-GT era - Killer Penguins vs GT units.

While Sraiden will get:
Hunt Mode:
-Sith/GCW era - Stormtroopers vs Sith.

Will my character be included in it??

Sraiden map is finished. Need to localize, make tool tips and set up GT sides/modes for it.

Woah! Sounds neat! (what offer though, I forgot! ) Whatever it is though, Im still up to it.

Very unique-looking maps. It sort of makes me want to get back into modding.

Decided that their needed to be a reason for all these soldiers fighting in this hell hole. So here's the story:

Rebel medium transport has been badly damaged, crash landed (into a mountain) on this planet. Imperial troops are sent in to kill the survivors.

Screens:






Oh and can someone please send me some normal, not messed up and covered in white foggy stuff rebel and imp officer skins?

I look forward to playing this map, skyham!

Wow, that looks really nice! But uhh... how come the Stormtrooper helmet is the only thing that's white and everything else has stuff on it? I mean, wouldn't it make sense to have the helmet dirty too??

And sorry if I did not get this before, but will there be a CW era w/ custom skins??

Nice crashed transport in the background there

Woah dude! That looks intense, AND original, the factors that so many maps dont have.

Whoa, that looks like one nasty crash. The transports really do help to liven things up a bit, good idea.

Off Topic: Hey Sky, how's Catcran coming along??

STOP harrassing the devs or you'll get a 3rd warning -Staff

You do realize Catacran: Station has its own topic, right?

@AQT: yes but someone already told him off for posting that question there.



Anyway....Back On-topic:

Opinions on this idea needed.

Kadrala: Islands version 1.1 will be released within the next week (unless their are lots of upload problems). One of its added features (not counting bug fixes) will be custom 'GCW' sides (if anyone actually played my old GCW side mod, they're similar but improved) and 'GT' sides + era (from GTHA beta). Now, these will add a fair few MB to the download, making it at least 1.5x the size (more likely 2x).

Point is, these sides are the same (skins/models aren't, but that's easy to fix) as those being used for Sraiden (and likely any other maps I make later on, except Catacran). So are people okay with the sides being included in Kadrala 1.1 (and any later versions) only? This'll mean a few things:

1) You'll have to download Kadrala for any of my later maps (again, except for Catacran) to work. It can be removed but you'll have to copy a few files from it to keep sides working in any other maps I make. Instructions for this will be included.
2) Later maps will be small downloads. Definitely less than 20 MB.
3) You'll only have to download the basic custom sides once, not with every map, saving on file/download size a lot.

A bit off topic but I was wondering how are you doing all these maps at once you must be working all day!

I have an idea for the clone skins. Maybe you could put the 92nd Legion on here. You know the ones with Commander Neyo...

Hey, Sky, are you sure you will need Kadrala for the other maps to work? Why not just put the sides into each map instead of having the other maps call onto Kadrala's files?

@Revan: nope I'm doing max 2-3 hours, none at all some days. Remember a lot of the sides stuff is actually premade, so I just edit and localize it.
@Nova: no the clones for Sraiden will be shock troopers.
@Grev: that's the whole point. If they're in Kadrala's files only, you won't have to download them each time so the other maps will be very small downloads. Might be more conveniant just to put them in each map though. Will mean more to upload for you if that's a problem at all.....
