New maps and mods are coming out quickly. If you release something (even a beta) please post it here. Be sure to give details in the topic such as Map/Mod name and version
--Overview--
This map, as the title suggests, takes place on Telos during the Mandalorian Wars period of time. The characters and some of their weapons are loosely based on KOTOR, and the rest I made up. Also note that the map has a custom mini-map and Hammerhead ships flying around in the sky.
--Game Modes--
-Mandalorian Wars
This map consists of two eras with custom names on the map start up menu: Mandalorian Wars and TSF vs. Czerka. In Mandalorian Wars, the main era, the Republic Battle the Mandalorians, these Mandalorians have custom .mshs made by Caleb, all new weapons, new effects, as well as pick ups like the battle stimulant as seen in KOTOR II. The Mandalorian Heavy Trooper also has a back pack and runs slower therefore than the other units but is more heavily armed. Each Republic unit has a unique face and unique ability. For both sides there are the standard five classes: Trooper, Heavy Trooper, Sharpshooter and so on, as well as an unlockable Swordsmen class with a vibro sword, commander class which has an airstrike beacon and special primary weapon, and a jedi/sith class wich have special force powers. The battle also has locals for both sides, HK-50 droids and Telosian Commoners. The hero for the Republic is Revan with custom animations, and the hero for the Mandalorians is Canderous Ordo, whom has a pistol flame thrower, unlimited buff damage, and a heavy pistol that has long range.
-TSF vs. Czerka-
In TSF vs. Czerka mode, their is a custom game mode: Headquarters. In this mode each player spawns from their teams headquarters, there are two per team, and must destroy their opponent's headquarters before they loose theirs. This mode has different weapons from the previous mode, plus custom skins for the TSF(Telos Security Force) and Czerka's mercenaries with each unit having a unique face and ability, just like real combat.

Umm...why am I in the credits twice? and I shouldn't get credit for the merc skin - its just a simple hue/saturation edit of the spec ops rebel trooper from convo pack.

Whoops, looks like I was asleep while writing the readme .
@Grev- Happy you like this one, and I'm not sure if this will be my last or what, I just said that because I am not sure that I will have the time to keep producing hard to make maps anymore.
Not if you turn down your viewdistance, screen resolution, and graphics in the options menu. I had everything set to high and I got zero lag at all. What computer do you have? I just have a basic Windows XP.
have you got some side mods installed, BFX 2.2 and Convo Pack shouldnt be a problem, but older BFX versions or BFP or other similar mods arent compatible with custom maps
help me if I messed up here but here is what I did. I placed the TEL folder in my addon, now I do have the convo pack 2.0 and BFX2.2 and the R177 full will any of those things keep from having it apear? (what is the name that it will come up as?)

No those won't keep it from appearing, the R177 patch is required to make the new era/mode names show up.

So you are extracting it to default C:\ProgramFiles\Lucas Arts\StarWarsBattlefrontII\GameData\Addon, correct? And you have BFX? I doubt that would cause anything. I don't have it though, so i am not sure if it causes problems or not.
I know how I said that it was laggy. Once I did what elfie told me, headquarters was so much fun. If you make another version, think about adding more units.
I must say that when I played this map is truly a wonderful experience. I really enjoy "Headquarters". If you replaced the weapons with some better models I think this map would be FRICKEN' AMAZING!!
