Hey Gametoast. today I present to you, Naboo: Into the Swamps! Now you may be saying "Not ANOTHER Dagobah" Don't worry, this is in no way a Dagobah map. As you can guess this map takes place in the swamps of Naboo. There is a tiny bit of side editing in this map. This map is kind of a first map but it's not completely nooby because there are things like water, turrets and custom sides. Without further ado I present to you some screenshots.
Screenshots
Heroes
CIS: Darth Maul vs. REPUBLIC: Obi-Wan-Kenobi
EMPIRE: Anakin Skywalker (Cloaked) vs. REBELS: Obi-Wan-Kenobi
Things to do

While it's avoiding most of the pitfalls of "first maps", it doesn't really look like a swamp. I don't remember the swamp in Ep1 having pinkish ground.
Perhaps you could watch those scenes and use parts of them as references?
I have successfully added foliage, more water, more trees, added hunt mode and I have also began work on planning and pathing. Right now the map is about 75-80% done and there still might be some bugs. That is where my two beta testers will come in. Post if you're ready and want to beta test. I will select two beta testers after the deadline. Beta tester application deadline is on tuesday at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. I would like one or two sentences on why you'd make a good tester. Thank you for applying. Screenshots coming later tonight.
Sending out a beta tomorrow night. If you would like to beta please apply now. You only have 23 hours left to apply. @Beta Testers. There are currently two bugs
1) Music in Hunt mode does not work
2) There is no mist in the map
I'm working hard to solve these problems and they will be solved by the Public Beta Release.
Things I still need to work on are
1) Adding my SEEKRIT mode
2) Fixing my loadscreen
3) Getting Trade Federation Landing Craft skydome to work
4) Localize things
5) Adding in my Vehicles
CW: REP: AT-RT (2) GUN: Kadduu (3) CIS: MTT, STAP Speeder (4), Dwarf Spider Droid (2)
GCW: ALL: Enhanced Tauntaun (2) GUN: Kadduu (3) IMP: Speeder Bike (4), AT-AT (1), AT-RT (2)
After these things and anything I decide to change in light of my beta reports I will release the Public Beta
I'd have to say that it's probably better to just slow down and make those updates before you make a beta. It looks like its coming along pretty well, but you'd be a lot better of making those improvements first IMO.
I see your point. I'd like to get out a private beta though before I leave on my cruise. Will try to add in SEEKRIT mode and vehicles before I leave. The other things (loadscreen, skydome, and localizing can wait.)
Barring a miracle with everything working perfectly, beta will not be sent out tomorrow.
EDIT: I have successfully got most of the vehicles ingame so far. I just need to get the MTT and Dwarf Spider Droids in.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi

Is this a good loadscreen picture?

Please do not type in all uppercase (CAPS LOCK) letters, and please don't personalize your text for no apparent reason; both are against the RULES. -Staff
EDIT: UPDATE: I have got my secret mode in and by the end of this paragraph it will no longer be a secret. The mode is a hunt mode featuring Jar Jar Binks, Qui Gon Jiin and Obi-Wan-Kenobi (Episode 1) vs. Battle Droids (two versions security and regular) and a commander droid who has increased health and a deploy-able command post. Screens will be posted tomorrow.
EDIT2: I have got my loadscreen ingame and I have also got in the Trade Federation landers as a flyer dome.
