This is my second, and last SWBattlefront conversion. This map will have the addition of a Wampa Cave, and the occasional probe droid will be moving across the battlefield. The Republic will be the attackers, and the CIS will be defending Echo Base. The GCW era has also been added along with support for the Dark Times II and BFX.

Overall: 90% complete
3 Random Sky/wheather effects
All environment sounds working
Tauntauns for the Republic and Rebels
Era specific props
DTII Gunner Assault added
Hunt mode added: Imperial Snipers, and Probe Droids v Wampas
Heroes: Hero support added to the stock cw and gcw era's
CW and BFX era
CIS: Jango Fett
REP: Ki Adi Mundi
GCW era
Empire: Darth Vader
Rebels: Pilot Luke
DTII: Random heroes

Vehicles CW era:
Republic: 2 AT-XT's, 1 AT-RT, 1 AT-TE and 2 Republic Speeder Bike's
CIS: 2 AAT's, 2 Belbullab-22 Starfighter's, 2 Droidstarfighter's and 2 Staps
Note: The Belbullab-22 Starfighter's are only playable in the BFX Clone Wars era, and the Droid Starfighters only in the Clone Wars era
I have also reduced the fighters speed

To do list:

Version 1.0 should hopefully be released around New Year.

Wow this looks like a nice map! Just make sure to darken your terrain.

Looks pretty good so far. If I'm not mistaken, nice use of the Dagobah cave model! The only thing I'd suggest for it would be to use an ice texture for the "roots" instead, and then of course enable transparency on it. Only a suggestion, though.

Also, for vehicles, I think Droid Starfighters and Snail Tanks would work very well.

yeah, looks like another very good map

STAPs and AATs sound good for the CIS. Maybe some "stolen" BARC speeders?

Kit Fisto sounds like a good idea for this one. For variety.

Thanks AQT! Your right about the model. Initially I was going to use the Geonosis cave but it didn't really fit but the Dagobah cave seems to fit really well. It has been difficult getting the correct textures though. I did try several Hoth textures but it didn't look as natural as I'd hoped but I'll definitely keep working on it. Adding transparency is a good suggestion, so I'll see if that improves it.

Thanks for the vehicle, and hero suggestions. I may be leaning towards the snail tank, but I'll try out a few different set ups to see how it goes.

My next update probably wont be until the weekend, as I've also got an assignment to hand in for my course, but it will be a good update, I hope.

Very nice! I love the contrast of the terrain with the black sky.

@Jendo7: sry for forgetting it, but in my last post I was going to say my point of view for the vehichles, so here's my vote:
dwarf spiders - snail tanks

Yeah, I forgot that too; I'd go with Droid Starfighters and Snail Tanks, like AQT said.

i think it's the original map with some changes. right??

looks great

Thanks all!

I've decided to release a beta, just so I can have a better idea about team balance, and if there are any bug's it makes it easier to have objective feedback on things I might miss.

Update wise, I've now added vehicles for the CIS, and have gone for two AATs and staps. So I'm not adding snail tanks or flyers as the droidfighters wouldn't fit the hangers, and couldn't take off. I had sound problems with the snail tanks and drawf spiders that I couldn't fix for some reason so I gave up. The AATs and staps have an image change as well, courtesy of EA711, so I think that works really well, and adding flyers would just be too much. Thanks for the votes I appreciate it.

I've also got probe droids moving accross the battlefield, and are enemies towards the republic. At the moment I've been trying to make it explode, but it needs chunk sections which I tried to add but I've been doing something wrong, I just don't know what. I may start a thread in the modding section on that. A Wampa is also in there, so beware

So if anyone's interesting in beta testing let me know in this thread, and I'll pm you the download link. I was thinking a maximum of about 5 or 6, so get your places quick.

this map looks nice, i'd like to be beta tester

I can beta

Thanks guys! I'll give you the download link once I get a minimum of four people, otherwise it wont be worthwhile.

ok, I can't wait for it, so now I'm saying "just two more guys, please, someone wants those spots?"

Looks nice , I would like to beta if there´s still a spot

I'll pm everyone who wants to beta with the link in a short while, but there is still 1 or 2 spots left if anyone's interested.

Edit: pm's sent

Heck, I'll give it a whirl, man.

well if beta is still available and you need another's opinion, ill beta. stock hoth is my favorite map in the stock game, and this looks good. if you dont feel like sending out another one though, im fine with that too XD
