Yeah, I agree with Tean. The bridges seem to "foresty" to me, and since this is a snow map, it showed have snow patches on instead of moss or leaves...

If I were you I would:
-Check the planning.A good planning can make a map great.
-Make sure the map isn't too big or too small.
-Put some more places for cover.
-I saw the overview, and just wanted to ask, which side will have the advantage?It looks like 3 main islands.
-The CP's shouldn't be too many.

Hope any of these suggestions helps. :thumbs:

(Great progress by the way :D )

This looks like a great map.

If you want, I could send you this model I did some time ago:

I think it could fit this map (if it's reskinned). :yes:

@Tean: yep realised that about 15 seconds after posting that picture.
@Malek: done, done, done, it's weird side advantage is a toss up. Played it four times, twice rep has won by 20-30, twice CIS has won by 20-30, there are 8 CPs all up.
@Nova: Republic Sniper looks exactly the same as Republic trooper. Clones only use two models + one extra skin for commander.

New effect for Rep Missiles.

Also, really weird problem:
Map crashes if you look at the sky too long in free cam. Error log doesn't say anything suggesting why. Do have a lot of water, although have removed as much as possible from under terrain.
Anyone know what this might be caused by???

Do you take screens when the map is frozen, or when the map is going through the game, its on resume and everything is moving? If its in frozen, no idea. If the game continues, its not the sky.

Maybe its just an error with the freecam and a certain part of the sky. I think that happened to me once with an invisible .msh and when the camera would show it the game would CTD.

What a weird bug....ya know, from experience, when ever one makes a one-a-day map, there's always a strange ctd bug thats really hard to fix. I have two maps that cdt, and nothing shows up in the error log...

Also.....
Sky is now darker, light is dimmer (was real hard to actually see the lasers, was making it annoying), it snows and the bridge and trees have snow on them.
Pathing is as good as it's gonna get (AI don't seem to get stuck anywhere! Hurray! Now if only that would work on Catacran)....
Sides are done (not 100% premade). Republic has been mixed with the stock republic side a bit so its less like that being used on Catacran/Alpha's map. CIS have snow skins, two different units to my premade ones.
The captured animals are also done. Word of advice: do not blow up the holding pen walls unless you're prepared to run really, really fast or die.
1-flag mode works okay. First time I've actually done it properly.

Anyone know how to add fish? 'Cos some fish would be nice.

Apart from the fish and a loadscreen, everything is done. Been three days (not one.... :wink: ). Map'll be released as soon as it can be uploaded (not a big download so therefore not a big upload so hopefully will actually work 1st time.... :? ).

Oh, one more thing. Everyone interested, please vote in the poll!

EDIT:

Grrr....problem not solved. Looking straight up at the sky in freecam causes a CTD. Nothing else does though.
Oh and here's CTF mode:

@Grev: lol I'm not a fish expert but I am a recreational SCUBA Diver and did work in an aquarium shop for a year....Anyway If it's antarctic waters then bass, cod, orange roughy...but since this is a fictional planet I thought I'd put in some big grey catfish and some striped bass. Google any of them except striped bass to find out what they are. :wink:

Sorry about this folks, this map will be delayed for at least half a day...need to do a few more things, mainly just aesthetics. Oh and if you want to know what the captive creatures are read the spolier below.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Cave Acklay: Introduced centuries ago, Acklay inhabit the deep, warm, geothermal spring heated caves buried under parts of the frosty Kadralan landscape. Cave Acklay have evolved to suit their environment - darker colour, better hearing and reduced vision. They are captured to be sold to those rich enough to use them as deadly 'guarddogs', or to organisers of arenas and gladiatorial contests.....
Oh and some more pics.....
