I'm a n00b modder. I've got a lot of mod/map ideas (ex; High Security Prison), but never I can finish my work. And when I don't finish my work, I delete it.
BUT
One month ago, I've started a map, Bespin: Imperial Base. Some weeks after, my BF2 crashed, Modtools too.
I can't finish the map, sure. So I release here the source files (to be clear, that's the data_BIB folder).

• The map isn't finished: no sides, no sky, no bug fixs, just the world.
  The map isn't great: I'm a beginner, and that's my first map.
  The map use some assets: Bespin/Endor/Kashyyyk props and Coruscant city props.

At the start, you get an error: just copy the files which cause error from the TantiveIV and Polis Massa props stock.

Finally, the link: http://www.filefront.com/17323122/data_BIB.zip/ (ZIP file, ~160 mb)

Put the data_BIB folder in BF2_Modtools and modify the map as you want.

A (big) thanks to: Rends, GT, Pandemic.

Screenshots
Edit: Oh my Modtools works fine now. I hope I can create maps.

You're giving us an unfinished map using stock assets?

Umm...thanks?

Are any of these assets yours?

No, I use only stock assets and Coruscant City assets.

Okay, then, you shouldn't be 'releasing' these at all. They're already out, and what you're doing is practically stealing. They aren't yours, and they aren't new. Hate to break it to you but there's just no use for anyone to download this stuff if they can get it already from it's ORIGINAL source. Only release assets if you made them.


An admin/mod will probably be here soon to lock this topic...

Or, he wanted someone to finish the map. I would download but its way to big. Use winrar, not zip.

If we shut down every asset release that didn't have completely original material, we'd have a very small assets section (not that anything would be wrong with that, but that's not our M.O.). His contribution from this topic is obviously the world design itself - the assets are included for the convenience of anyone rebuilding the map. He was pretty clear in his first post that the models weren't his own.

Technically both sides are right, but I'm going with Mav on this one.

If he made the layout, it's fine. And it's still a contribution on his part.

Now, on the other hand, I understand if it had been locked in-case he re-distributed actual assets and said they were his. That would be a no-no and looked down upon. But that does not seem to be the case here.

That possible scenario aside, there's nothing wrong with asking the community if they want to finish a map that includes already released assets (assets that he didn't claim were his, so he's in the clear I'm assuming.).

Err, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Mav. Just was giving what seemed to be the impression here.

Right, Lozza. I "release" here the map sources so someone finish it.

I try to recompress the file in another format.

Looks like a pretty well-made map to me.

How much of the world itself is set up? CPs, paths, etc.? Or just the layout itself?

Because if the world itself is done aside the sky I might try to finish it since the world's always been the hard part for me lol

(Hey GameToast, long time, no see.)
