On-Topic :

Okay, fellow players, here is some updates on the map!

Reskinned Biker Advanced Recon Commando Speeder:

I'm working on this one, the crashed Low Altitude Assault Transport...

Comments?

Looks good so far.

When you say this is a "speeder" map, does that mean speeders are the only vehicles we can use?

If you take vehicle reccomendations, I'd reccomend the ISP ( Infantry Support Platform). It would blend in well with the Hoth environment.

BTW , the blue Low Altitude Assault Transport

is beautiful

Nice LAAT and BARC speeder Linus. Make sure to remove the jungle-y bits from the LAAT and put some snow on it instead. Some smoke coming from it might be a nice touch as well.

The ground looks too bright and you should add in some other textures too. Like everyone else said, alot of cover would be sweet. I think it would be cool if you made like a ground battle and then had a tunnel battle going on as well.

this is very nice, aspecially the first clone trooper

,
this i would like to ask: have you been able to put the AT-TE in the map?

second: are you going to put in the MTT? if so you should skin it to give it a snowy look, that would be cruel.

btw you're probably going to reskin the CIS droids so I would like to suggest to give them also a snowy look:)

I am doing that! Didn't you understand my question? They show up one time in-game, when I've taken it/destroyed it, it won't respawn... I hope you understand now.

I'd reccomend going HERE

...The second parameter specifies how many of these vehicles you want to spawn from this vehicle spawn. I recommend always keeping this set to 1, and just add more vehicle spawns if you want more vehicles at a given CP....

you should color the snow in black around the crashed laat no? 'cause of the fire...stupid idea or not? ^^

Snow doesn't burn, t3tine, it melts. Do you live in Hawaii or something?

Besides, it snows so regularly on Hoth that the burnt/melted snow would be covered up the next day. Hence the buried LAAT.

Linus, will you be adding capital ships in the sky? Or is it primarily a ground map?

There is many speeders (And STAPS...) on the map, but there's Fighter Tanks too...

I found them in the Republics ODF-folder.

No Cap' Ships, it'll be a ground map...

Off-Topic:yeah, you should´nt come with stupid ideas about snow to a swede...we have more snow than most people could even imagine (at least at the winter)

..(I don´t mean to offend you or anything...)

On-Topic: This map really looks like it´s going to be something really good...I really hope you´ll put alot of AT-TEs in it...

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 2:05 pm

a lot of at-te's becomes a problem because then ai don't spawn at the cp's and it makes them all too easy to capture. one or two at-te's is usually enough.

ML_916 · Post by **ML_916** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 2:08 pm

I did´nt think of that..but it would be cool to have alot of AT-TEs walking around...if not only for that "cp-spawn-problem"...

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:15 pm

perhaps if you could make spawning at the cp's a higher ai priority......

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:48 pm

Surely Linus can just make an AT-TE that isn't a mobile command post?

Linus · Post by **Linus** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:52 pm

Is it? I do not know so much about Walkers, really...

You simply remove about 10 lines from the odf, pretty simple and they're all in one clump...

Agreed.

This might already be on your to-do list but I recommend overwriting your current sky file with the Hoth one. I say this because some people don't bother changing the sky file and I personally don't like the default sky at all.
