Showed this to Obi, he thought it was awesome, of course I didn't etc and so forth.. I'm thinking of making it a Campaign, I had this map awhile, just added the "base" though.. ( Yes, that's a Commando on the rock bridge )

Hidden/Spoiler:

You didn't show me that earlier?

Effect for my upcoming project - partly done by ]v[, partly by me. That unit is alos not gonna be in it, he's just someone to test weapons against.

Sweet! Remember seeing a similar mod like this for JKA. Now that I think about, I'm surprised nobody's made a blood splatter effect for BF2

There's one in KotOR: Dantooine.

And that one's from +123 mod - I just added smoke effects to it.

Wow, nice.

Blood in Star Wars has always seemed a little chintzy to me. We never see it in any of the major works (video games, movies, tv, with the exception of the "gaffe" in Ep. 4). Is there a reason for it or is it just there to look "cool?"

I liked this shot so I took a screen of it.

Mav, it's the cantina.

What's the cantina? If you mean that it's in the Cantina [scene], then I know, which is why I said:

with the exception of the "gaffe" in Ep. 4

...which is widely noted as a canonicity error.

...because it would have instantly been cauterized. That's also the explanation they use for blaster fire. In my opinion blood in Star Wars is just weird.

I don't understand the appeal, either. It's like every Star Wars game has got some sort of blood mod.

Yes there's a reason - the RPG map/mod its for is not Star Wars. The pic is just from a sides test, with custom units from mod/map against stock rebels/imperials(testing how tough they are against stock weapons). The blood's there because that's a shotgun blast (solid projectiles not lasars). The equivalent of laser weapons (matter rifles) for that map/mod don't make blood explosions.

Oh and yes, blood in Star Wars games does seem pretty silly.


EDIT: BTW Mav thanks heaps for FFX script really opened my eyes to how to use functions, variables and such in lua.

EDIT2: Null that looks great.

Actually, there's blood in Republic Commando. If you get close to a Geonosian or a Trando and stab them, blood will splatter over your visor, but it's only alien blood, so it's not that realistic.

What map is that Sky?

Map's name is Prologue: Awakening, location is Tiffka Coast. Story based RPG/Campaign. Woman in pic 2 is main character.

Looks pretty sweet. Is that one of your upcoming maps?

EDIT
I've been long overdue for pics so here are some:

nice. i like the stormy one

Thanks, there all form BFX.

EDIT
Here are a few more:
