I like AQT's new one better. The old one just looks like it is made of paper, rather than a metal or plastic.

Yeah, it doesn't quite look like metal, but i think that the SBD would look better if it had a more metalic look than a glossy, plastic-y (is that a word lol?) one. However, I'm sure others feel differently. And both skins still look very nice.

It's the same skin both ways. Only the material of the model has been changed. It uses the same effect as the Rebel Tantive IV helmet.

The sky looks a bit open and empty for coruscant. Maybe you could add streams of air traffic as a sky effect (sorta like the explosions in the sky on geonosis) like in the movie?

EDIT:

There's supposed to be a background cardboard cutout of the Coruscant skyline based on this image to complement that sky, but it seems to be currently obscured. But yes, streams of air traffic would look great.

Currently, I have implemented a custom skydome, and have used AQT's carboard buildings. I have yet to move them in closer and posistion the skydome objects over the map. They're all there, they just have yet t move into a visible posistion. I haven't found the best values yet.

Oh, I see.

I've actually got some bad news. My computer has gone the way of the Wulfman's. Hopefully, I can dump all my stuff onto an externam hard drive and continue work elsewhere. I'm prepared to face an issue where the map will no longer be capable of working. A similar thing happened with my Flooded Oil Refinery map. If that is the case, I may have to release a version of the map with just the completely finished gamemodes. However, even just that plan B relies on the map being salvagable.

What? Noooooooo!

Ah man Yuke, sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is. Good luck with your endeavors.

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can save some of your hard work.

Noooo! That was going me my fav. map

I hope your can save this map because from what I have seen it is definitely worth the trouble or salvaging it. Godspeed soldier :stormie:

Ok this was the map that I was planning on starting bf2 since like november just to play it because it was the coolest map in my opinion. Good luck salvaging it and I hope you complete it if you salvage it.

I just converted the old hard drive into an external hard drive. Everything is safe.

That's good to hear.

Great to hear yuke!

Yes! That is great news!
