If we got (or made) a Sith starfighter model, we could.
Not a bad Idea, really.

You know what would be cool for this map, a new game mode called Duel. It doesn't have to canon, it would be max of 4 players, jedi vs sith (ex, Darth Bandon and Malak vs Revan and Balista) with no force powers and boasted health .

Heehee, I just bought KotOR off Ebay, soon I shall know what this is all about.

This brings back great memories

pretty much done, just a few tweak here and there we need to make and some accessories. Then setting up the modes etc.

Hm, if my copy of KotOR comes tomorrow (should, [Diet Dr. Pepper] first rate, one day shipping, cost me an extra like 6 bucks ), then I swear, I'll be done with it before this is done .

Awsome. Nobody could make this map better.

This looks so insanely good! Really, this IS pandemic level.. For now this is WAY the best, high quality and original map someone has made.. I speak to you guys often.. You should really give me some tips on texturing and UVing.. Wow.. Just, really.. Wow

Can't speak for Rep and his use of MAX, and I don't know how well this would do with characters, but heres my texturing tip.

Use cubic projections, when texturing occasionally, instead of Unique UV's, Cubic will organize the layout of the UV's better, so it's easier to arrange on your texture in a good looking way. You can even use it very well on cylinders, and other shapes that aren't cube-like.

Like Rep said this map is going fast, we don't have much left to do, but we still have some gameplay decisions to make.

If you need something of me I'ld be happy to help!

Just a low poly model with a crappy texture would do since they'll be far away, like in some of the original bf2 maps (Lol, you should check out those ships flying in the distance in most maps from up-close in freecam mode, they look more like a piece of cheese than a starship)

Though low poly with crappy textures isn't really your style is it

there is a sith fighter in the "ages of star wars: jedi civil war" mod for empire at war
you could ask the mod team for the model

If you don't mind me asking, how is progress on the Wardroid model?
I'm not sure if we would use it in the sides per-say, but more likely a deactivated one as a prop.

Lol, yes I have seen them, and they are spectacularly primitive.

But I've asked Rep about it, and we'll see, I think it's a great idea, and would really add to it, but there is a problem I think...
If we used them via sky dome, like my Hammerhead, they would occasionally fly right through the ship itself, I don't think there is a way to specifically confine them to the sides of the map area.

This would require us to make like 10 or so of them in XSI, and animate them to swoop and fly about, then these could be placed as animated props. I think that may be the only way to do it.

...except that it's done on every space map. Check out the space map's .sky files, they're pretty straightforward.

P.S. 100% agreed on using cubic projection. Makes everything loads easier.

Sky dome on spin cycle:




Also I'm using this custom "sky dome" (object in ze), so I really don't know how that would work with dome meshes. Would ze anims work at all? either that or xsi

awesome, just like in the game
:thumbs up:

The Wardroid is going great! Torso part completely done and textured, starting the legs now.. Also, I've got enough time, hope to have him finished within a week or so..

Added more rooms, cause the default KotOR map is alittle to linear, and small.

Another bunk room with a work bench


A officer's mess/meeting room



Looks like we're gonna have a Med bay too, but I'm still working on that.

Looks good caleb!

Republic trooper defends his ship.


Sith rushes into battle.


We're using Kotor era, thanks to zerted's shell and mav's kotor test sides.

OH MY GOSH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! this is so awsome I LOVEEE! it really great is it possable to make the troopers lay down so they can lay down on med beds? P.S. i hope i did not post somthing aginst the rules but AWSOME KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP!
