The Admins have never once seemed to mind what music we put in our mods. On the scale of things. it's pretty small. So you should be okay, especially since the music is from KotOR.

I think RattleandHum hit the nail on the head for music. Glad it's going to be in-universe stuff! (IF you use it, Yuke).

On another note, this map improves with every single update, hats off to you Yuke, you really give these things your all!

I'm using a number of sounds and music tracks from Mass Effect and nobody's complained, as has WULF with TCW, and nobody's complained about that either; I don't think it should matter if you use a couple music tracks from another Star Wars game.


EDIT:

HAHA, I meant to submit this message HOURS ago!

@Yuke: Do you plan on adding something like the cardboard cutout of background buildings in the stock Coruscant map? I think that would work very well with this map.

I have buildings in the far background. However, I don't have the cutouts. I've been looking into how to add them, but I can't find exactly how in the Coruscant assets. Do you know how?

They should be this part of the stock .sky file:

cor1.sky wrote:

Code: Select all

	DomeModel()
	{	
		Geometry("cor1_sky_buildings_1");

	}

They will also appear beneath the default terrain level, but the following lines will translate them up to a reasonable position: Just add these right under the Geometry line.

Oh those. I have them, but they're far off in the distance. I'll add those lines you gave me and try to move them in closer.

it looks much better with these glowy signs!
one thing i couldnt put my finger one at first: overally the environment ist pretty dark. i know its supposed to be evening/night but rends' textures are rather dark which works with a bright setting but when the global light is dark too they look too dark in my opinion. in the movies the building are silver/bright grey at day.
i think with generally brighter textures and some nice bright specular the map could look more unique and less like the cityatnight-maps that have been made before.
thats just a suggestion, maybe im the only one who'd like a brighter night-map.

I'll see what I can do. The thing is, a lot of the glow can't be properly showcased when it's daytime. What if, as a compromise, I'll see if I can get a dawn sky working in a different game-mode. Then, if it looks good, I'll add it in as a random sky.

i dont mean that it should be daytime!
i meant the buildings could be brighter since they are in the movies and it would make the map less "sallow"(excuse the expression) set the map apart visually for other city maps with rends assets.

Ohhhhh...Okay.Yeah, I can definitely do that. What would be the best way? Brightening the tga files, right? Or is there something that should be done to the models themselves?

yes, brightening the textures would be they way. id do it through "value" (in gimp) so that the contrast is preserved.

Another little detail that isn't required but would be cool: Have the glow from the signs reflect on the metal ground slightly.

thats not exactly possible. all you can do is to place a light with the color of the sign in it and yuke has done that already.

Righttt..... I forgot all the little things that makes BF2 limited.

I love Zero but its lighting is dr pepper.

I think this map is going well so far. And if I wasn't so lazy nowadays, I'd have gotten all those normal maps done.

Off topic-

as well as the Clone Wars mod we're all so eagerly anticipating?

Don't worry about it, man; you're plenty busy.

Yeah, that. I haven't worked on it in awhile. Life has been complicated, busy, and hell. No, no one needs to worry.

My inactivity isn't entirely born of my laziness. Not really. I say that as short hand, but it's not actually the truth.

But anyway. Let's focus on yuke's great map.

Well, I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that I've got a bunch of stuff to do, so the map won't be released soon. The good news is that I have made some headway, and I have a list of everything that will be done (and has been done)

THE LIST(can also be found on front page):

KEY:

[ ] = Not Done
[X] = Done
[O] = In Progress

1. Add THIS song to the restaurant. (They're playing some old school hits.)[O]

2. Add Phase 1 Clone Troopers (Hunt Mode) [ ]

3. Add Campaign [O]

4. Loading screen [X]

5. Gangster Side [O]

6. Dark Times Hunt Mode (Special Leader Units) [X]

7. Add Capture the Flag to all eras [O]

8. Speeder Environmental Soundstream [O]

9. Clone Wars Sides [O]

10. Wave Mode [ ]

11. Brighten up all of Rend's Buildings [O]


Off the top of my head that is all I can think off. Anyways, I'm going to be busy, but any suggestions for gamemodes, units, whatever you can think of, are welcome.
