howdy. i was just wonderin if anyone is working on a wookiee catamaran at this point? im thinkin about simply usin a pre existing odf and switchin with the catamaran specs. but if anyone is working on at the moment id like to know. im looking for one for my kashyyyk: coast map. if someone is and is willing to share the odf id be quite apprieciative.

There is an unfinished odf in the assets.

I started working on an odf for the wok_hover_catamaran a couple of days ago, but it's got some bugs that i need to iron out.

I have one working, too, in my map. But the msh is kinda screwed up - it never spawns right where the arrow is - it's always to the right, above, below, whatever. But it works and everything.

interesting. this map is a final battle between the wookiees and the empire/cis. a catamaran would add to the feel. if only we could set it to float on water. that would be awesome. anywho. perhaps you would like to team up and aide me in the creation of it. im a decent mapper. i already have a map design in my minds eye. (need to plan but school just started).

First of all, if you have a vision of it, you should do it yourself - I learned that the hard way. You can fulfil the vision exactly how you want it, rather than someone else demanding that it be different because they're helping you. So go for it! Second, I'm in school too, and have a job, and still find time (limited as it is) to mod, so it's possible to fit it in. As for the ODF, I aactually didn't make it - Jawakiller and his team did. So I can give it to you, but you MUST give them credit when you release. You can edit it, though, and I might help you with that (cause I don't particularly like the way it is now, either, but it does work). Anyway, I'll be glad to help you with any questions/problems with your map that you might have, or even suggestions, but you should make it yourself. It's quite satisfying.

PS. A little preview of the catamaran is in my Kashyyyk: Kachiro alpha release, which is located here:

Good luck!

its my every intention to give everyone who aides me credit. if i did not, i would consider myself and so would everyone else, a thief. and your not alone with the limited time thing. school started here in canada today, and my time is limited by my girlfriend. not that i dont apprieciate her lol. well, perhaps we can communicate via msn or xfire. you can find my adress in my profile. I'm tryin the beta test of your map.

EDIT:apparently the game cant read your mission.lvl. looks like ill have to wait.

EDIT EDIT: nice juggernaut in your map as well. looks awesome great job on skinnin.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: well, the map i know i can create myself. at this point i need some help with side editin. not havin any luck with it myself. and it seems like you have very creative weapon ideas. the map i could proabably make myself. (been doin awhile never realeased)

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT: sorry for all the edits lol.

If you have trouble finding the caramarans fire points open its MSH file, then press CTRL + F and search for "hp_" (no quotations).

Post by **Qdin** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:03 am

Heh

I've just got assigned on doing a Wookie Catamaran by Dragonum and the team for BF2142, but of course I could probably cut it down afterwards and release it for SWBF2.

but I've got school and alot of other projects as well, so it won't be released jsut like that

::::Updated:::::
Here is a link to download an "updated" Wookie Catamaran that i put together.
I fixed the things that were screwed up in the previous dl, like EyePointOffsets and such.

Enjoy

dam. cant download. no servers or some crap.

You know, How about asking Fred about making it into a working vehicle so you guys don't have to live with some tweaks etc.?

I know he's more or less got most in his assets

@Qdin
You don't learn much by letting someone else do all the work!

Except that the msh for the Catamaran is severly screwed up. It never spawns where you want it (i.e. where you put the vehilce spawn). If someone could fix that, and maybe even add some support for additional weapons (fire points), that would be good. Also, does anyone know how to allow pilots to eject during mid - flight? BFI vehicles let you do that, but not these. Is there a specific line of code in the ODF that you can put in?
