**EDIT**
The New Empire Beach Assault Beta v0.79 Now Available!
Post Here if you would like to test!
Testers: 4/4
*****All testing spots are full********

Here we go. A map I have started recently and is starting to come together nicely now! Behold!
Story: Luke ignores Ben and is seduced by the darkside. He listens to his father kills the emporer and becomes his new apprentice. With Luke gone Leia learns the ways of the Force and becomes a jedi. Now they battle!
This map takes place along the coastal shores of a planet along the galaxy's outer rim. The Cps are scattered across various landstrips and isthmuses that have shallow and deeper water inbetween them. There is a large water body inbetween the rebels and imperial cps that you either have to walk across to get to the other side or fly across using a K-Wing or imperial shuttle. There are also curved walls, the default ones from the Kashyyk assets, that act as cover for snipers. There is tall grasses, bamboo and rocks also scattered through the sand.
The sides consist of reskinned stormtroopers, a reskinned snowtrooper as the sniper class, a reskinned scout as a rocketeer, reskinned enginner, Imperial officer with the Black Shuttle Pilot skin and hat with award medals. The Special unit is a Phase X darktrooper with a wrist mortar, wrist laser, that is similar to the laser turret, and Heavy Shotgun cannon that uses the Chaingun MSH. The hero is a reskinned cloaked anakin with luke's face and a red lightsaber who is Known as Darth Skywalker. The rebel side is mostly reskins and has the jedi leia unit and Ben Kenobi as the Hero: (Hope you don't mind that I used your skin mav )

Yep it sure is. I used a few of them. They are really good.

Nice lighting and sky. Also I love the K-wing and princess Leia with the lightsaber.

ô.o The map has 2 suns?

However, looks very interesting!

Pinguin
tatooine has also two suns!

Wow, this map looks very lol^^
No, I mean awesome and amazing.

Yes it does have 2 suns. It still has a long way to go though, I have only been working on it a week and a half. I will probably add more to the atmosphere, tweak up the sides a little, then work on the new "special" mode, which is a suprise so I wont tell you guys yet

looks great elfie (this map looks a lot like bf1 kashyyyk cept for at night )

Thanks, I wanted to give it a kashyyk-like look. The units still need a lot of work. Right now they are mostly just skinned. The only ones with the weapon changes are the Special classes, the Phase X Darktrooper and the Wookie. The Wookie has a Vibrosword, who made that by the way? it also has a sniper bowcaster that can zoom farther than a sniper rifle, and an orbital strike, which I am still working on getting right.

I like the K-wing in your map , because I love this amazing battle ship!

gj on the K-Wing. and yeah this does have a very Kashyyyk style to it, one of the Empire's first invasion things to keep control was on Kashyyyk.

Is it just me or does it look empty?

Anyway, great start can't wait to see how it turns out.

Actually, it is funny you say that because I did just add a bunch more objects for sniper cover with some sniper hint nodes, so now there is like a sniper battle going on along with the chaotic bombing from K-Wings and landing crafts.
Here is a few more pics:

Looks much better. I would still add a bit more cover. Also not to be picky and you can ignore this if you want. Leia looks a bit stretched. I beleive you can fix this by adding, or modifing this line:

Code: Select all

SkeletonRootScale       = "1.00"

Yeah, I agree. Thanks I added it. The map definetly could still use some work, so could the sides. I will probably add some turrets also. Once I make some more changes I will post some more screenshots.

Sweet! Turrets are always good things!

Alright, here is an update i made: The gunfire now has explosions upon the impact, making the map more chaotic and feel like a war zone. Plus I have upped the ai counts so there are more units. Here are some more pics:

What .exp are you using for the shots? I would make it a bit smaller, but it looks cool anyways.

Definitly chaotic and a huge improvement to when you started. I do agree with Grev, and with the whole object deal it seems like you have a cluster of objects and then it suddenly goes dead, then another cluster. I guess it kinda seems like everything's in zones, its very sharp cut offs and not gradual. Sorry for being picky, its amazing besides that.
