The Rihaken: River of Kashyyyk

-----------------------

Version 1.00
Author: Saitek009
Requirments: Conversion Pack 1.7.9 or higher

-----------------------

Story:
*****Location:Kashyyyk*****
*****Time period: Clone Wars, Shortly before Order 66*****

-----------------------

A battered looking commando rushed into the camp of Senior General Luminara Unduli. Two months ago he and two of his brothers had been sent out on advance recon and to train resistance fighters in the better defense their homes. They were instructed to go to a small Wookiee village on an island in the middle of a river known as 'The Rihaken'.

The breathless commando brought news. "Rihaken... *cough*... is *gasp* attack..."

When the commandos had arrived at the village they had started instructing the locals on the best way to defend the village in case of attack. But while they were there the CIS made their move. The Rihaken sector was simply too tempting because of it's strategic posistion on the river. If the CIS were to control it they could block up all shipments going up and down the river. The commandos suddenly had their hands full simply trying to stay alive.

While helping defend the island from small recon attacks, two commandos perished. The third, when he had deemed the Wookiees fit to defend themselves temporarily, stealthfuly made his way through the blockade back to high command, to get an attack force to relieve the Wookiees.

Luminara Unduli decided has decided lead the attack. The attack force will rely on speed, thus only IFT-X, BARC Speederbike and Swampspeeder class vehicles will be taken along. The CIS already had AAT's and STAP's moving into posistion for the attack on the commando's departure.

According to the commando the wookiee's have two aging Orthinopter's to aid in the defense. The only thing they can hope for is to find the island in one piece. The Rihaken's only hope rests on the shoulders of the Wookiees and those the Jedi Master Luminara.

*****Location:Kashyyyk*****
*****Time period: New Republic Era*****

-----------------------

Once again, the small island in The Rihaken is under attack, not this time by the CIS for the sake of sowing destruction and exterminating the native Wookiees, but by the Empire for the sake of free labor for all of it's "science" projects.
Before all their transmissions were jammed, the small island, managed to get out a short message to the New Republic. A plea for help. A plea that will not go unanswered. The New Republic has recieved the message and is ammassing an attack force lead by the Jedi Knight Lowbacca.

The Empire is rising once more, trying to regain what it lost at Endor: It's image of fear!


-----------------------

Game Modes:

-Conquest - Standard

-Hunt - The Wookiees have 150 reinforcements and CIS/Empire have unlimited. The Wookiees must try to survive for 5 minutes and the CIS/Empire must try to eliminate all Wookiee reinforcements. Inspiration from +123 mod. Thanks, ]v[ !

-Hero Assault CW: New Hero Assault

-Hero Assault GCW: Standard heroes

-----------------------

Bugs:

-If you put more than one of the Rihakens game modes into your instant action playlist the second one will almost unfailably make BF2 crash. I have no idea what causes this. You can't even use the debug version of BF2 to see what's going on with it because BF2_modtools.exe doesn't do playlists.

-----------------------

Instalation

-Open this Self-Extracting 7-Zip archive and extract it to your GameData/Addon folder.

-----------------------

It looks (and is) tremendous, Saitek. I'd love to see you start adding campaign modes to these; I know you can. :wink:

I had a funny bug I didn't mention in the review at BFFiles (it was inconsequential): I got knocked off of a bridge or riverbank in a swampspeeder, fell into the water with enough speed that I sunk all the way to the bottom... and never floated back up. I just cruised around on the bottom of the river and could shoot everything from down under there.

What was interesting was that I headed downriver, and when I got to some land that was high enough (underwater riverbed), I started floating again - all the way back to the places where I was submerged before. I didn't know what your intent was; I seem to remember some discussion about making vehicles sink or not when you were making this, but it definitely did both (sink/float) here with the same vehicle.

Every once in a while the swampspeeder is weird that way. I really have no idea why it does that. I didn't add anything to make it do that, it just does. :wink:

A campaign would be awesome... Hmmm... I should start working on one. :)

Looks like quite the map; I'll have to download sometime.
A campaign would be great! You could implement the story into it. "Travel with the other commandos to the island. Defend the island. Return to base." That'd be great.
