Hi, Tourny here, announcing the upcoming BETA release of Crifton: Irugo Province. This is the maiden voyage for the Klags andthe Cave Trolls and Darth Vatrayen!

Here are some screenies:



Darth Vatrayen.



Cave Troll.



Panorama! (NOTE: Colors will vary.)

All I have to do to finish up is update the scripts, make it look like a town, and get my force field up an running.

what's with anakin's texture in the first picture? is it supposed to be like that?

Yes, considering he's Darth Vatrayen, I think it's supposed to look like that. shtr

You might want to blend that terrain a bit, maybe add some gentle slopes?
Anyway this map shows a lot of promise; I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Indeed, while the units look good, the actual map still has that novice look when you have the default blue fog. I do thank you for changing the sky, but fix/remove the fog and also varry terrain/terrain height and then after you do those things this map will be much better, but good start for sure

"Blue fog"? And this region of the planet doesn't have very many hills... There are others that do though.

I just love the cave troll. Also (I know this is a work in progress,) but you might want to add more objects, because it looks a little flat now.

There will be a small town.

EDIT: What is the "Blue Fog" and where would I go to change it? And what reference in the pictures brought up the subject?

EDIT EDIT: And, just for the record, I was serious when I said colors will Vary. The map will look completely different in color from the screenies because my graphics card SUCKS. That big building in the background is actually gleaming White.

By "blue fog" they meant the blue fog in the background in the pictures. It is a default setting on maps, and at a certain distance, objects will begin to seem covered by a blue fog and as you get farther away, disapear. You can change this by going into the sky file and editing the fog range (I'm not sure exactly what it is, I'd have to check and I can't right now).

Oh, okay. Well you should still check to see if you are using default fog settings. If you are change them, it makes the map better. You can change fog settings and view distance by going to your sky file found in your world 1 folder. Simply open it with notepad and go to this section: ..And change it to your liking. And you really do need some objects. A flat map with no objects even with great sides is still a dull map.

What is a Klag?

I think they're kinda reskinned droids with different anims and lectro staffs, correct?

A Klag is a native of Crifton. Klags have very versatile genomes and so can breed with almost any species in the universe. Their Government is democratic, but they don't much care who leads as long as they like how they are being led. Despite their warrior like nature they have only been in 3 major wars, the First is known as the Goblin wars or "First Contact". The second is known as the Klagen Civil War which was over the fact that the government wasn't telling the majority of the population what they had a right to be told. The Third is the war featured in the Star Wars Original Trilogy. Klags are arthropods, and they have evolved from Trilobite-like ancestors that lived in the Sea.

Wow. This kinda looks like it's gonna be really good. I love the Cave Troll skin.

It kindof ended up looking that cool on accident... All I did was make the wampa skin green and then the computer gave him what looks like armor plating... My gaphics hasn't done anything like that before so I think it really did happen.

EDIT: I edited out the fog and now everything's really... er... bright... But I wanted it like that in the first place. I set up the town and finished up the interior of the building as much as I possibly could. Now all that remains is making my first Klag hero, updating the scripts, and fixing up the AI planning. Screenies coming soon.

Yeah, that cave troll looks sick. I like the idea of the native species and that Darth Vatrayan character. Was he actually in the Star Wars universe?

I havenn't figured that out myself. He has this huge story behind him, and it ties him into the Star Wars universe. But I still haven't figured out for sure if my friend made him up or not. In any case, my friend's name is Vatrayen, so it seems likely that he is, but he might as well be real. See how confused I am?

Vatrayen is the everything and the nothing. He is the beginning and the end. He is the truth and the lie. He is the simple and the complicated...

Oh, please don't.

Here are the screennies. I am done with the mapping, unless of course I recieve some kind of suggestion.
Tell me what you think.

Looks interesting, especially that Darth Vatrayen. Is that smoke stuff in the last pic a new force power?
