OK, 2 updates!!
1) I talked with Raingod a while today and we managed to get the tent in XSI with the texture. Too bad it wasnt done so i still have to wait some more before i give it to trans.
2) I'm working on mara jade skywalker, finally she's starting to take shape. Here a picture of what she looks like so far
That's all for now.

I have been working more behind the scenes with the map, but now I think it is beginning to look right and once I get the camp msh’s I think the map will be ready for public beta testing. (Along with a few other things) I have some pics of the map, but sadly I can not take good screenshots to save someone’s life so don’t judge the map to much by the screenshot taker 
NOTE: The Mos Eisley Buildings are just there as placeholder until I get Raingod’s tents in.

3 things i notice which i think should be fixed before public release:
the ground needs to be still darker, to match the other stuff.
fix the barriers, so you can shoot through them (if you haven't already, but they're hitting the barrier in one of the pics, so i assume you haven't)
find out how to change the distance fog color. it must be possible, because i've seen maps with blue fog...
also it'd be nice if you could get the barriers destructible.
one more thing: once i get through this load of homework, i plan to do some slight reskins to han/leia/luke to make them older looking. i've already given leia a lightsaber. hopefully you can include one (or more) of them as the hero.
haha fooled you, one other thing: trans you mentioned that dantooine has both clone wars and gcw. i was thinking you could modify the lua for the clone wars so it calls the all/imp (eventually njonr/njoyv) sides instead, essentially making both eras have gcw troops. then we could implement slight variations for different gameplay (like different heroes). i dont think it would be that hard, just a little lua editing. it sounds more complicated that it really is.

Ok i just finish borth version of the tent, so Jabba can put then in XSI and export them, also the UV Maps for everything is ready to be skinned. I've also made the doors seperate so you can put then in different positions. You can get it here
http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=5265503
its a .rar with all 4 models, tent, door with wheel, door without wheel and closed tent as well as the uv maps for each.

Ok was going trought some of my models and i found this spaceship i had done for my stopmotion animation i did last semester, it was acctually base on the A-Wing, but turned it into a shuttle craft.
With a few modification it could make a good prop transport for the Dantooine map, remove the sliding door (they can be textured on) get rid of the guns on the front, remove the fins on the engine, and put a turret ontop.

Heres what i was able to do with it, got ride of all ther useless crap from it, its now around 1600 poly's. I've added 4 landing struts as well as a lowered loading platform. All we would need to do is stick a turret ontop (i can make one which would match more with it). This would be a small transport (probebly smaller then the falcon).

Thats something which would be done in coding, but yes as far as know that possible.
I was just reading up on the mandealorians and seemed that durring the NJO Boba Fett became leader of the Mandalorians, i know that he was in one or two books. It looks like that they had quite a few battles. Heres the quote
"During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Fett led his army against the Yuuzhan Vong in the Battle of Mandalore and the liberations of Gyndine and Tholatin (see Second Battle of Gyndine and Battle of Tholatin)."

We wouldnt need to do any modelling for charecter models since they all use the Boba Fett style armor. So with Boba Fett and Jango Fett we should be able to fill out thier ranks.
For ships they would use the Pursuer Class Enfrocement Ship
http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Pur ... ement_Ship
Mandalorian Dungeon Ship ?
starfighters they would have the ones that the Hutt use in Star Wars Galaxy, cause they were all produce by MandalMotors, so that would be the
M12-L Kimogila-class heavy starfighter
G1-M4-C Dunelizard-class starfighter
M3-A Scyk-class starfighter
Also theres the StarViper-class attack platform (Virago)
Apart from that there isnt much on them that i was able to find.
Also i will be trying to get the comm arracy/sensor array and generator done for the Dantoonie map as well as a few prop transports.

We should really talk to someone on the Mandolorian Mod and see if they plan to do any of these ships before we end up with two versions of the same ship 
Anyway I think it would be fun to do some mando battles
Xfire is being a bad little uhh... thing
, so Jabba when you get those models skinned, could you upload them and send them to me by PM? I never have really looked at how big of a file the models are so if that is to much trouble I guess I can wait until Xfire is fixed.

Ok heres a Wip of my latest creation, the YT-4 "Raptor" Transport. Now this will be a civilian version so was thinking of giving it a different weapons loadout. For weapons i was thinking 2 turrents on top, inplace of just one, that way it would make a way better defence platfrom for the Dantooine map. Also since this thing can be used to carry military equipement was thinknig i would put its quick assault ramps down and we could turn it into a spawn point.
Yes we should check with them but i don't think they are donig any of those since from what i remember isnt thier mod durring the KOTOR era?.
You guys should get MSN.

i'm pretty sure boba/mandos were only in one book, as a cameo appearance. it was a battle on a space station, and there wasn't any mention of space combat (with mandos), it was all inside the space station. the space station was under siege by the vong tho, so we could expand it to a space battle with some mando ships, but i don't think making all those moddels would really be worthwhile.
i don't remember anything about the battle of mandalore during the njo - according to the wikipedia article, the only source that described it was the History of the Mandalorians - in other words, it wasn't a major part of the njo. those other two battles both have the same entry, which somewhat confuses me, as i only remember reading about boba in one place. i'll look it up and report back on that...
but even if they are "behind the scenes," we could still include them, its just i'd rather focus on the main storyline battles first, and leave that as sort of a side mod, extra mappack, spinoff, or whatever. you know what i'm saying? they played a side role in the plot, so i feel they should have a side role in the mod as well. but once we do get to the space station battle i mentioned above, we would of course include boba/mandos as a special class or heroes.
also, uh raingod, was there a civilian version of the raptor transport? i have this mental connection between it and warlord zsinj (or however thats spelled), and it just doesn't fit in my mind with the new republic. but if there was a civilian version, yeah i guess it could work. ahhh, w/e, who am i to complain? i cant make moddels lol...
oh yeah, and you should get xfire
(trans there was an update, btw, i think i remember you said something about how you couldn' install them without your dad's comp access)

It was a Imp ship but was basicly discontinued for use in the Military, but there is also a civie version of it, which was slower and had no weapons, but pilots would add thier own weapons to them. Later Zsinji adopted it for his commando unit cause the military version is pretty fast and were good at covert insert into enemy systems.
Well alot of stuff wasnt mention in the Books, they basicly just followed the main charecter.

Ok here the done model, for the turrets i was thinking we can just put 2 of the rebel turrets that are on spaceship.
For the mandalorian stuff i didn't mean that we do it right away, just wanted to mention it so that it was on the list of stuff tha twe should eventually do.
For the other transports we can use the Falcon, my ship i created if you guys think its good enough. Apart from that not sure if theres any other ships which are ingame which could work.

i think the other ship you made would work fine, especially if you smoothed off the nose, so it curved more toward a point than a rectangle (not totally pointy, its kinda hard to describe what i mean).
and, lesse, other ships...we need a lambda shuttle! preferable one that flys, but we definitely need one.
i'm still not so sure about the raptor for dantooine...its kinda clashing with my mental image, towering all over the terrain like that, but if the other guys are ok with it i guess itll work for me. i always envisioned shorter, smaller transports, but...o well.

About the raptor, I think it would be nice to have in the map (although I didn't envision it either) but it really depends how it looks in the map. Could you give me something to compare the size with?
I have good news and bad news, so we will go with the bad news first.
BAD NEWS: I kinda did something to the map that made the terrain completely black and I can't fix it
GOOD NEWS: I changed the mountains a lot and I managed to move all the objects over without having to replace everything. I also had a really good idea... but I am not going to tell anyone <_< >_>
