Well, I like to be fast and simple so here I go:

Sugestions:

Change the geonosis bunker for a hoth bunker, cause the geonosis one was made for sandy areas, and the color doesn't blend with the terrain. Unless you texture it, you should change it.

Put some rooms in the dungeon, maybe using reskinned hoth assets

1. Bugs I found already: The geonosian bunker has a missing texture all over it. The tunnels entranceds have missing textures as well.
One thing that I noticed when messing with my map was that the hoth's hangar had a missing texture (the snow around the entrance) and when I cleaned and remunged, the texture was there (weird).

2. Don't know if you had already notice, but the "follow me" command doesn't have sound. At least on the clone wars. (didn't have time to check the other modes since I want to sleep

You were clever when you used archer1's script for the heroes

I'm traveling tomorrow and I'm back on tuesday.

Looks cool!
Perhaps you could ditch some of the jetpacks on the mandalorian side tho'

Not all Mando's use jetpacks

Tean' has released a jetpackless mandalorian if you'd want to use it.

1. Ah yes. I had meant to retexture those before I released the beta, but after playing the map 500 million times things like that just don't seem to stick out anymore.

2. I didn't know about that one. Good catch.

Oh, that's a good idea. I'll look into that. Thanks!

I don't know. It depends on how much homework I get over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully soon.

Those new characters look really good.

I'm going to get some screen shots and then post my BETA test log. I actually found a lot of issues.

Hmmm... I downloaded the file and tried to use it, but it doesn't seem to be any different from the Jango msh (It still has the jetpack.) Is there something special I have to do to make the jetpack go away?

Okay, I beta tested, and here are the issues: 1. With the coriestum(sp?), it crashes in the middle of the game. Dont worry, its only with that mode. 2. Clonewars conquest, all the mandalorians lay timebombs everywere! Its very odd, and watch out if you have friendly fire on! 3. Everyone calls the mandalorians Jango, like "Its Jango! Watch out!". And 4... I dont know... Overall, I'd give it a 10/10!!!

1. Does it always crash on consortium mode? Do you have the Star Wars Battlefront 1 Conversion Pack? If so, which version?

2.Yeah--I noticed that too. I didn't really see it as a problem, though.

3. Good catch--I'll add it to my list of sound issues.

This kicks the crap outta the map I was planning. Those new sides look really good, can't wait for it to be released.

Ya GCW crashes halfway through if you go to fast choosing units.

Another thing I don't think you can fix it but the rockets or other missiles have no texture when you shoot them I'll give a full review tomorrow

Really? I haven't had it crash for me yet. Could you run the bf2_modtools and PM me the Bfront2.log?

And the missing textures on the missiles were actually intentional--I wanted to make it look like the gun was just shooting the pink ball part (to imitate the disruptor rifles in EAW:FOC.) Does anybody know a way I could do this without ever using the missile .msh file at all?

LastJedi · Post by **LastJedi** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 12:40 am

You should get a weapon that fires a projectile and then explodes with the dark trooper lightning effects when it hits the ground. Isn't that what they were like in EAW: FOC?

This looks really cool. If you get all the bugs fixed, will you consider making more maps with these sides?
Anyway, very original.

EGG_GUTS · Post by **EGG_GUTS** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 8:57 am

But the missiles are white

I have some other interesting ideas for my next map, but you'll probably be seeing the Zann Consortium in it somewhere.

EGG_GUTS wrote:But the missiles are white

Yes, but you only know that because of the Rhen Var ice-writing-over-glowing-things bug. On other maps (and I do plan to use the consortium on other maps) that don't have that ice problem, it will just look like a glowing pink ball.

If anybody knows a way for me to do it without the missile at all, however, I'm open to suggestions.

Scale the missile's mesh waaaay down. Or have someone create a custom missile model with full transparency.

Should I try to add voices for my original units? (WILL ADD TO FILESIZE!)
