Why dont you use the clone pilot model for the Clone Commando?

Narlie-Charlie · Post by **Narlie-Charlie** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 4:11 pm

Looks really great. But shouldnt the Scout Trooper have the exactly the same as in the OT movies? The only difference was that they were camoflauged in the PT.

Yayyyyy!!! I know your map will obviously be great! But, is this a change for the Campaign's skins or is it something for Instant Action?

Also, shouldn't the Rebels also have something more dangerous? The Bothan (even with that new rifle) is no match for a Republic Commando and his anti-armour gun.

Nope, that model has a random box in the chest. I don't want that.

Nope again. The 41st Elite Legion was the only legion known to use such armor. Plus, they used that armor for every class, from standard infantry to sniper to anti-armor. Imperial Scout Troopers were later created when Phase II Clone Trooper armor became outdated. Those Imperial Scout Troopers then become the only ones to use such armor (I lied, Imperial Storm Commandos use black armor of that type).

Bring on more comments and questions!!

Instant Action only. I will have a whole series of maps for this mod, probably up to 10.

So, what maps exactly are you coming up with? Are these going to be totally new maps of new locations, or these going to be the same BF2/BF1 maps with new skins?

Isnt there anyway to make the DC-17 smaller it looks a bit bulky with the trooper.

the dc-17 does seem too big...it also seems to need a skin...but nice work on the commando skin! would be very useful if you could release it as an asset for the whole community...

Majin, remember that is somehow don't like other .tga's than those which were shipped with the mod tools.

so all you gotta 'do' is to do this:
rename an existing .tga and open the .tga. then you copy what was in the .tga for the weapon into this 'new'/'old' .tga.

I've also exported as .msh and there's a Texture Exporter with the SWBF2 XSI Exporter, so we sohld try that out too.

Ah. I know where you got the idea for that Commando skin, I think. Star Wars Republic Commando: Triple Zero.
O great Majin, could you please release your white clonetrooper skins?

Darkwedge · Post by **Darkwedge** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 6:47 pm

lol Heres a something alittle funny from the book Just for you Majin

"So, How long ago did you put in a request for black
stealth armor?"
"Seven Standerd months," Says Darman, staring out the gunship's crew bay an unbroken plain of snow. White snow. The freezing wind is whipping flurries of it into the open bay. "When we got back from Qiilura"
"And now they issue it to us? To Do a raid on Fest? The whole planet's covered in snow from pole to pole."
The gunship pilot laughing over the comlink. He can't resist it. "Want to borrow my armor? It's nice and white"

Almost from the book I didnt want to copy EVERYTHING from it but just the funny section referring to Majin's Commando mod, though it would be amusing. Im sure most people have already read teh book.

Yes, a bunch of brand new maps. No reduxes for my mod! Some maps I have planned will include one on Kashyyyk, one on Dantooine, at least one in space, and much more.

Contrary to belief, I did not get the idea for black commando armor from books. I thought it up by myself. I would really like to read Star Wars: Republic Commando: Triple Zero. However, it is not in my library yet. I have read the first one though (I have also read at leasr 103 books, I am no NOOB to EU).

The DC-17m ICWS was modelled by Qdin. Qdin, I will need you to do that second thing with the exporter, as I have obviously tried to do the first method of getting skins to work. Could you also resize your weapons and send me a refixed sniper (I never downloaded it).

DooFi made all of the excellent skins (except the DC-17m ICWS). Praise his work! I shall not release his skins without his permission AND until the maps are all done.

Thanks for your interest, keep firing those questions, comments, and suggestions at me.

I was thinking of a public beta test, but it would take the bang out of my map (exposing it early, unfinished). I want my maps to come as surprises as to what lies within them. I will most definitely have private beta tests with my map testers from SWBF.

Well come to think of it Republic Commando (video game) did the black armor first before the books but it was MP only when you customized your "player" before going into a server. Im not saying that could be the reason why the book went with black for them?

Sounds like quite the collection. Sounds (and looks) good!

Did you say Dantoone? As in KOTOR? As in CW era? As in the planet Leiah lies about being the Rebel base? As in the farmers' planet?

I LOVE DANTOOINE!

Is this going to be a KOTOR map, or a CW map? Could you make both? You could replace GCW era by KOTOR era! That'd be fantastic!

Post Script - Anybody noticed how many -tooines there are? I mean Tatooine, Dantooine, Ratooine, and a few more that I can't remeber.
