Looks great Elmo. As for your pilot problem....

It doesn't have a REQ file and it isn't entered into the gar REQ file so it won't work. You'll need to add it to make your own custom gar side if you want it to work. Sorry.

Looks rather nice that far. How did you get the water to look like this ? Nice piece of work. I'm just wondering how the naboo should get rid of the TF vehicles without rocket soldier or vehicles of their own.

Wow. Simply looks amazing (even for a first map Lol). I can't wait to play it

If you would need any beta-testers, I would be willing to test for ya ^^

Heh, if FX are all that's missing that's a really easy fix. Here are the fx for nab1_prop_waterfall.

WOOT! Elmo, I KNOW that this will be awesome!

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:35 am

thx everyone.... @pvt parts- that's when the Naboo starfighter will come in handy!

hmm.. im having issues with the AI. They just run into the water and die after awhile even though i placed barriers around the water's edge.... i don't know how to fix this..

MasterSkywalker · Post by **MasterSkywalker** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:40 am

Place hubs and connections on the map, so the AI won't try to run into the water.

ok.. ill try...

@trainmaster: I'll help if you want..

and parts... i think i used the Kas2 water TGA texture file for my water....

and water will show best on water quality high...

MasterSkywalker · Post by **MasterSkywalker** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 12:48 pm

Lol.. Yea, the standard Naboo water texture doesn't really look right compared too the movies.

hmm.. im having problems putting the Naboo N1 Starfighter in my map...

Hey Elmo, for a variety in terrain, I'd suggest making a waterfall and a lower area.

What's your issues with the fighter?

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 5:11 pm

I can't get it in the map.. i think i did everything right...

But about the waterfall... that'd be awesome.. and i'd gladly do that... but what waterfall prop would i use? i tried the Yavin 4 one and in game it looked horrible . for some reason.. there was a black mirage surrounding the whole waterfall... if you can find me a good prop.. i'd be more than happy to put it in

Post by **Epena** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 9:23 pm

Well, you could see if you can get the one from Naboo prototype from Tean.

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 9:34 pm

That level was precompiled so the assets aren't avaliable.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 9:47 pm

oh.. that stinks.... i may have one more alternative though...

Anyway! more screens:

ok.. those are all the latest pics...

Updates: I (obviously

) added the Naboo N1 into my map, which runs very smoothly...

I added hills on the maps edges

And i added fences and gates.. near the "embassy"

Then there are bugs im struggling with...:

I can't get the floating gun to disappear.. so that's gonna stay...

I can't get the gian speeder in my map... i will though!

A little issue when flying... when you fly pretty low over the Naboo buildings, with the droidfighter, you will explode... i don't know why.. so just fly high when flying over the buildings... (with the Naboo Starfighter, you just get a "bump"

and then there are the problems where the AI won't co operate and stay on Land... they walk into the deep water... and then die..

Oh yeah... the STAP's speed is incredible... if you hold down the forward button, you will go really fast in a matter of seconds... so it's best to use it to skim across the water

Or to perform stunts

(THat is SO fun!)

And that's it for now... should i make it so you can fly through the water?!

I can't get the gian speeder in my map... i will though!

A shortcut around vehicle spawns with the gian speeder is to place it in ZE. It works.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 10:56 pm

wow! I'll try!

Post by **Epena** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:48 pm

I say keep the STAP above the water.

It really looks good Elmo, I'm looking forward to the release. Take your time, though!

The prob with the buildings is that they weren't meant to be used on top, so the collision up there is messed up. nothing you can do about that.

About the water, are you sure that there aren't any holes in your barriers?
