At last another update! YES!
Oh, and

Nice space port! The port looks like a combination of Cloud City and Alderaan

alderaan is build of cloud city-buildings with edited textures

Yep, the buildings are all from the Bespin assets. Depending on the feedback, I might make a few texture changes, but as of right now I like them the way they are.

@ H_BOMB: I'm hoping to add in a bit of debris here and there. I know there are plenty of good models out there from both the assets and from modders, so I just need to go digging for them.

@ Nova Hawk: In order to see campaign mode, you need some form of updated shell, such as the 1.3 patch or the Conversion Pack (which actually includes the 1.3 patch now). Right now, Orbital Assault only has campaign mode, so in order to play that map you need the updated shell that allows campaign mode to appear in the instant action list.

Yes, a spaceport! This is gonna be an awesome urban map! One question: are there going to be catwalks above the streets, like a network?

Oh, one more thing: the sky looks a little too bright for this map, maybe slightly darkening will give it a better ambiance.

Other than that, great job on this!

Wow, looks nice! Can't wait for this one.

I have to say I've downloaded both your previous Aldura maps and they'll be staying in my addon folder for a long time. I agree with H_BOMB about making it look more war-torn just to add to the immersion, but I also like the bright feeling of this map. I'm confident that you'll deliver another gem.

wow

so let me get this straight

Aldura: Landfall was once a farm then a desert now a city ok thats weird but ok i must admit i loved the farm with the landing space

but any way im downloading the beta and space map and i think you are really cool because you put updates very quickly

so keep up the good work coz im putting my eyes on this mod because this is one wicked mod

I just played the Aldura: Orbital Assault tonight and I gotta say it is fun. But I think it's too short. Could you maybe expand it?

I meant to put this in the other thread, but that topic is over 30 days old.

It looks very nicely composed, my only qualm is that the Bespin assets may become a bit hackneyed after awhile. Not to say it looks bad though, it looks great from the pictures. I just am strongly emphasizing the importance of a new look manifested through custom models and skins I've heard from somewhere that the best art retains classical and familiar elements, yet puts a new spin on them.

Old post: Update

Conquest mode is pretty much finished. All I have left to do in that mode is fix up the planning for vehicles and add teleporters to give snipers access to the bridges above the street. I played through a few matches while I was testing and taking screenshots, and I have to say it was a lot of fun.

As for campaign mode, it's getting there. I mostly just need to polish up the AI behaviors and it should be ready to go.

The only other thing I can think of that needs to be fixed is all of the floating weapon icons.

Screens from conquest mode:

Sweet, those last pics with the tanks are awesome.

Wow Eggman....that's all I can say....

Wow, that's awesome! Can't wait....

more than awesome! i can't wait

Wow thats awesome

Unfortunately, I'll have to scrap the teleporters to the bridges. I have no idea why, but any teleport node that takes units to the tops of the bridges doesn't work; the unit spawns directly below the bridge and falls to the ground, even if the node is placed 10 meters or so above the surface of the bridge model. You can teleport to any point in the map except the bridges, it seems. Snipers will just have to settle for crouching behind a crate or other form of cover at street level.

Theres always the Bespin platform stairs.....

...but that would mess too much with the architecture of the map. At this point I would prefer to leave the buildings the way they are. Next time I open up ZE I'll take a look and see if I can fit something in, but it's doubtful that I'll be able to.

Don't do a direct teleport, you're probably having issues with the collision on the bottom of the bridges. Teleport straight up, then teleport down at a diagonal to your point (it's still instantaneous as long as your first teleport takes you directly into your second region). You're making two sides of a triangle instead of a straight line.
