Ok, I'm working on my first map "Geonosis2" the map is about 90% done.
I just have to learn how to spawn vehicles right
Other I've got a problem with some cp spawns...

Ok I hope you like the screens

And yet another Geonosis map. I'm not trying to be rude, but there's been many of these on this planet.

But good for a first map. At least you can create one, I can't.

Yeah, I took Geonosis ,because I thougt its easy to make that for a first map.

It looks good, though. Any custom sides?

I won't include my own custom sides, only Phase1 trooper, maybe BFX too...

wow
looks neat

Try changing the map name to something else though..

Like Geonosis: Battlefield or something.

looks slightly... flat. maybe if you put in some (gentle) hillyness in the middle, as at the moment it looks kinda unrealistic, just being a flat area of the same texture with nothing in it. Which brings me neatly on to the fact that geonosis has little rocks as well as massivley tall ones the odd clump of little rocks wouldnt go amiss.

I remember making one of these *cough*
Tips: Add dust. Lots. Add lighting. Redish brownish. Add gunships. Lots. Add Geonosians. Lots. Add Jedi. Lot...you get the drift. These things will make it a lot more fun and more interesting than the other seventhousand geo maps out there, and I am not exagerating by saying that. There are too many. Though that isn't your fault. Just add something to it to make it look unique, that is if you want more people to download it. Custom sides would be a start. Get going on skinning/scripting/odf editing. You get those things down you got one killer map. And also, be sure to change the sky if you haven't already. I would cry if I had to look at that sky one more time. Anyway, looks good.

This is bad advice unless you want a very laggy map. If you must add dust do it carefully and use it well. I have seen many Geonosis maps that have too much dust and become virtually unplayable on lower-end computers.

Sorry to get off topic, but I never saw that Elfie did a Geonosis map...

^Just because he made a Geonosis map doesn't mean it has to be releashed. It was probably just a practice map.

So true though I'm probably a culprit of that too but possibly look into kashyyyk for the explosion and add maybe some sky explosions and you'd be alright if you want to add dust make sure it's only on the areas the player goes to or can see that way it won't lag as much

I know and of course I will add Geonosians and Jedis, and of course vehicles like gunships. What is a Geo map without these things?
I won't add much dust, It's bad for your view and you can't see anything for expamlple the nice enviroment *I hope so*
About the Sky..I changed it already, but I have no effects e.g. Flying ships and explosions

I think I remember playing that map, but I didn't know it was by him.

@Nova- I am not suprised you didn't hear of the map, I made it before you were a member here.
