I guess he is going to release it as a preview for the map pack.

I guess I forgot to read that little detail.

*evil voice*Most excellent, my apprentice... :vader2:

not that your my apprentice, but it is very excellent looking

Maloss Update:

Random Sky goodness! (and random fx, two light skies have rain or no rain, dark sky has heavy rain or thunderstorm)
Extra lighting will be crude but will be added to give the dusk condition a reddish tint.





All DS Maps (except the really old ones, unless I can make a workaround) will get at least three skies. Most will also get multiple effects eg rain or no rain, fireflies for night time on Fai'Kaal and Cyanus.

Do you find it tricky to get the lighting to match all three sky domes?

Yep...that's why I need to find a way of getting three different lightings (one for each sky).

I mentioned it in the glamor shots thread, but I'll say it here since it's more relevant: the sky in the last pic for Maloss looks very nice. In fact, all of them do.

R u gonna have all three skydomes or do we have to chose one? And are we supposed to be chosing if we want rain or not?

They're RANDOM skydomes

Well he says "have rain or no rain" and I wasn't sure if he wanted us to decide on it.

Wow fireflies? That sounds awesome.

Oh, I see.

You know, it'd be nice to see Catacran in this. That map was really shaping up to something. I can't remember why you stopped making it... Although I'm sure that your reasoning was good.

And random .fx files and skydomes sounds EPIC.

Yes, even uglier than Yoda.

Few points:
1) attractiveness...not really a big thing in BF + has nothing to do with combat skill
2) Luminara has an awesome outfit.
3) Best candidate for force heal...which I wanted to try out the effect for.

It's still much smaller than a normal rancor; that's the same size (and same model, etc.) as the one on Felucia wave mode.

Yep it is. Just figured pygmy was a better name for the Maloss one (still need to give it a new skin).


EDIT:

More Units:


Rai Gar-Saan + Myddrian Mercenary (his HSU)

Hidden/Spoiler:

Wow. (About the last pic), THAT HAD TO HURT! Great work as ususal Sky. I especially like the addition of DT era.

@Fluff: Not really, I just got bored of it. and I gave the source files to NullCommando...who now seems to have dissappeared or at least won't reply to my PMs.
Got a new one thats very WIP, not sure if I want to finish it (lots of custom models to do.)

What's the name of this new WIPy?

@Nova: how is that relevant? At all?

Info/Updates:

Some details of random bits of sides in DS Preview Map (Maloss):

Each conquest match on Maloss has:
1 of 3 clone legions, each with their own unique unit. (Covert Trooper, Xenogunner, Jet Scout)
1 of 2 CIS Auxillary units (Nemoidian Rifleman, Geonosian Warrior)
1 of 3 heroes + support units (Luminara + Clone Medic, Rai Gar-Saan + Myddrian Merc, Mace Windu + Clone Assassin)
1 of 3 villains + support units (Grievous + Magnaguard, Haji Cama-Codran + Shadow Droid, Seeto Riad* + Blitz Droid)

Interesting Sky youve done some great stuff with this mod cant wait to play.

Uhm, Null got a new comp and lost the source.

Very interesting. One of the very important current WIPs.
