Thanks, and as a general rule, post credits in WIPs too.

This isn't the staff's opinion, but I don't see why that's important. The Conversion Pack sides change all of the time, and I've posted screenshots of stuff that I ended up pulling, I credited someone, and then they got upset that they didn't see their stuff. We don't require credits in WiPs for that reason - you don't know what's gonna stay in the end. So don't get bent out of shape about it.

From what Ive seen, the map layout looks oddly bland and empty. I see several houses, a giant ship (they didnt have those at the time), and the terrain look odd in places.

The odd terrain is a view distance issue. I kept one terrain for the entire map and it did look fine in ZE.

what about it? that blue thing was an effect nothing in the terrain. It was part of the buff defense.

Very nice! But why not use the underhand chaingun instead of the overhand one? It'd be much more realistic.

really? Did they have those in the KOTOR series because I don't remember seeing those. Also I have added new force powers with new effects that make it look soooo sick!! I will have an Alpha out by possibley the end of this month around may 25th or so followed by the Beta. It should be fully released for June.
here is a pic of the force wave/surge. It sends your opponent flying litterally like 50meters away from you.

If you like it, use it. I wouldn't get too caught up on the realism aspect if your map already has an Acclamator from the wrong era, houses from a long time in the future in a galaxy far, far away, and force powers of a completely different scale than the game. No sense in measuring with a micrometer and cutting with an axe.

Yeah you're right. It is not really "to scale" with the Kotor series. I just used that as an idea and then change it so it looked cool. The assets from this map will eventually be released which includes the custom grenades and force powers.

I think force surge is a bad idea. Check this scenario out and see if this is what you would want to see in a map.
Theres a n00b running around. He's the typical push/ pull n00b that you can find at every Assault server. Hes running around, and you run up to kill him. Boom! You go flying "50 meters" away. He runs you and doesnt kill you. Does the attack again. Runs you and kills you. You never had a chance. I would either make the push much smaller, or not have a knockback effect, so that it pushes you, but you dont fallover. The knockback never should have been in the game. Sabers arent baseball bats, and knockback totally unbalanced the map in favor of who has it. And make the radius much smaller. So you cant run around pressing it, and expect to hit someone who you can't see.

I might change it. But I kind of like it how it is.

Well, I understand you like it. All overpowered weapons are likable and fun. I really loved my rocket chaingun. But it demolished gameplay to a really low scale.

Thanks obiboba. I checked out your maze map and It looks great to. Nice job. It is great to see how muc h you improved! Back to the topic I added a new sith unit who is the most powerful sith and he has force powers that include force kill where you can kill up to 10 people with in a 7 meter radius and force lightning buffed up a bit which pushes the opponent back 4 meters or so and kills him. I will get the skin up in a bit. Stay tuned.
Edit: here is the skin

Well, I dont get where a blind guy is gonna be in the battle, especially in a battle where he's got opponents who can push him 3 miles across. I guess that why you super over powered him.
