Did you ever find or implement the core ship with hangars?

looks good, but i'd add more heavy venator turrets.
will the turrets fire bolts or beams?

(i'll download the beta )

yay!
im one of the chosen!
thank you so much.

I´ll beta if you need help.

No, I didn't find it.

Yeah, I'll add more (I didn't have many because I thought that's what slowed the map down. It doesn't, so I'll add more when necessary). They currently fire beams, and will continue to do so in the beta, but I hope to replace them beams with lasers.
(The main thing is modding the laser, from then on it's easier)

@IronMan_MKII: You're very welcome. Actually I should be the one thanking all of you for showing such interest in my first map.

I want to beta test please!!!!

Click this if you want to land in the core ships.

@Darth_Squoobus: Thanks, it's now in there.
One question, do I have to ask AceMastermind if I can use his Lucrehulk in my map? Or, because he posted it publicly (almost invitingly) I only need to put his name in the credits?

@Deathplayer: Thanks, but his turbolasers aren't Episode III. Thanks anyway for the effort.


Question to all: What should be the weapon (laser) colours for CIS and Republic turrets?
(Canonically it's both blue, but smaller CIS fighters fire red)

If an asset has been released publicly, you generally don't need permission to use it. As long as you give credit where credit is due (and as long as you aren't breaking any of GT's rules regarding copyright laws), you should be good to go. Situations where you might need to ask for permission would be if you intend to make changes to the asset (for example, editing a model created by someone else) or if the author specifies that you must ask for permission to do certain things. When in doubt it doesn't hurt to ask for permission, but in this case you'll be fine just crediting AceMastermind for the object.

Ok thanks. I'll put his name in the credits list.
And now we have a landable Lucrehulk! *cheers*

This map looks to become good. Nice idea with the gateways in the hanger. Keep it up

UPDATE: Not a lot of significant work done, but some things have happened.
-Pathing needs improvement, but not as bad as before
-All playable starfighters that will be in the final version have had their weapons (and speed, if applicable) modified. (laser look has yet to be modified)
-Cockpits added for all starfighters
-I think the Republic interiors are all done, perhaps some small details left. Invisible Hand interiors progressing
-Retexture of the Venators progressing
-Beta loadscreen added

One picture this time:

Nice, but it seems like the engines of the Venator in the top left corner are msiplaced.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Wow, did you make that cockpit? It looks great! I'm just wondering, if your putting standard Jedis on the republic side, will you put Grievous's bodyguards on the CIS?

TML wrote:Wow, did you make that cockpit? It looks great!

No, that's the one which comes with the mdotools.
It is a stock model, but it was never used in BF2.

yea, you can use it by un-commenting this line in the odf:
//FirstPerson = "REP\repjedfi;rep_1st_cockpit_jedistarfighter"

@stardestroyer001 :


i just saw this topic, this map will be a good one.

Yes, I have noticed the engines are misplaced, they are like that on purpose.

That's a good idea I didn't think about. If I can replace the MagnaGuard gun with a stick of some kind . . .

Small update: My Nero 7 tried to update and, as a result, uninstalled itself. That means TGA editing/converting will take longer. I'm hoping to get it fixed ASAP.
Both sides are being tweaked. Jedi and Sith (Force-users) are now point-locked.
I actually saw pathing results in my map, from the droids flying out of the Lucrehulk. Let's just say even though I'm a bad pilot the AI is even worse, but at least they're flying.
Hey, does anyone know how to change the visible in-game name of objects, people, weapons, etc.?

For the last question: Use the ditlocalize.bat that came with the modtools.

Fix: editlocalize.bat (I can imagine someone spending hours searching for "ditlocalize". ) Just look in the localization section of the Everything You Need thread and you'll find a few tutorials.

Also, for flight paths, are you using planning hubs/connections or are you using flyer splines? Either one can get the job done, but flyer splines are generally much more precise and allow for more creativity. If you aren't using flyer splines already or don't know how to use them, there's a .txt file in the mod tool docs that explains them well.
