Yea for example I think Dark TImes 2 is a more fun than vanilla SWBFII. Along with a bunch of other wonderful mod maps. This really looks like nothing I have seen in a Star Wars game. (Better than RC in my opinion)

And another thing, if you could get iron sights inside the game that would just be so amazingly awesome !

Thanks. All I did was use DarthD.U.C.K.'s original Sev model and his plain white commando texture and added the blue design.

Only nitpick I have is that the "polarized macrobinoculars" (no, did not look that one up at all ) should have a blue or black line in the middle. I could not find any reference pics and I didn't want to reinstall RC (without the mods which I have on it now) to look it up, but I am quite shure there was a line in some colour there in the game.

I'll see what I can do about that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sure, you may beta test. And I'll make a note of your offer. Also, I don't plan on adding iron sights.

It's actually still too early, but you're signed up now.

WOW. I have been offline for a really long time. Because of lost interesst, other games, real life,....

But it's really awesome to see that nothing changed.

There are still Modders active where you can say "No matter what project you are working on, this will be a great Mod/Map."

And you are one of these modders

Update: I've been slowly working on this map over the past few weeks now, so the project isn't dead yet.

Here are a couple of screenshots from one of the first major objectives you'll encounter in the campaign: The location/objective shown will be the basis for one of the wave modes I plan on adding, which will probably feature Delta Squad.

That looks really great (i really love this HUD). What RC model do you use for this map??

Exciting! When I see a turret, I turr it up!

Excuse my french, but Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Those models are giving me the biggest boner. Did you re-texture the standard Kashyyyk tree?

Just posting to let everyone know that I'm still working on this map. Now that winter break has started for me, I can resume working like crazy again. @Beta testers: You guys can expect an "alpha" version by Monday of next week at the latest. The alpha will just feature the campaign mode, but it will be as polished as it could possibly be.

Like I mentioned a couple posts back, I'm using the models DarthD.U.C.K. made, the same ones used for Prosecutor.

Thanks! Don't be like this guy, though! And nope, the texture hasn't been altered, but it does use a bump map.

Is it still possible to help beta test the map?

-.- that's great for your map. But for me it means i couldn't get it.

keep up. this seams to become an awesome map

Wow AQT, how're you my friend?! It's been... years (?) since I looked through the gametoast forums, and now when I do, I see this awesome looking map!!

To be honest fair; you motivate me to do some moddeling. However, you probably don't need a retired gray Modeller like me... But if you're in need of something (I was already thinking of doing a new Wookiee model) specific, just send me a pm man

Great to see people from the old days still put work in this game

Welcome back, MandeRek! I replied to your PM. I don't believe I'm in need of any new models, but if I do, I'll be sure to ask you. Thanks for the offer, and thanks again for the compliment!

KeepAmazinn wrote:Is it still possible to help beta test the map?

You were already on my beta tester list.

So to recap, all of the beta testers are:

• Dreadnot
• kitfisto
• Kingpin
• TKE
• KeepAmazinn

The alpha version will be sent out in just a few minutes, so expect a PM very soon, guys.

Last minute beta tester request for me please
Just In case you don't have enough or if someone else doesn't know how to take screens.

Sure thing, Jimmy. Alright, the alpha has just been sent out to all the testers. Now to work on the other game modes...

Wow excellent job AQT! Expect nothing less from you!

Question, how difficult was the retexture of the bespin and other non-kashyyyk models? And did you add bumpmaps to all of them?

Well done AQT! This map has a lot of potential for multi-player and campaign! Can't wait for some Delta Squad action as well.

Thanks! The major stock models used were only from Bespin and Mygeeto. The Mygeeto platforms/walkways were very easy to retexture; all I did was slapped a stock Kashyyyk texure on them, and end result turned out surprisingly nice. The Bespin buildings, on the other hand, gave me the most trouble, and were the main reason why I stopped pursuing this project for a couple of years. The interior parts were alright, but the exterior just looked like a big brown mess. That is until I decided to just keep the original pattern from the stock Bespin textures and make them look Kashyyykian. And yep, nearly every texture uses a bump map.

Thanks, and welcome back as well!

I'm currently implementing the feedback and suggestions reported by the beta testers so far. I'll have new screenshots once I get a significant amount of work done on the other modes and GCW era.

Do you know if this will be DTII compatible? Also, I would love to see it work with Dakota's Red vs Blue and Battlefront Extreme. Both of those mods were awesome but lacked new maps and environment.

So I haven't been working on implementing the other modes I said I would these past few weeks due to a lack of interest, and I don't plan to do so any time soon. My ultimate goal for this project was to create the map itself with the campaign story as its main focus, which I think I've already accomplished.

Because of these reasons, I will be releasing a public "beta" some time this week (once I figure out how to disable the fake console!). It will only feature the campaign mode that was updated after I received and implemented feedback and suggestions from my alpha testers. (Thanks again, guys! )

For now, I leave you with this RC-style load screen:
