Or Xwingguy makes a map of the interiors and includes it to the Map's zip or Rar.

Blue-One: I think you should resize your avatar, it's a bit too large. The mods don't like big avatars.

Space Euphoria - now this was messed up. It's still giving me the creeps when thinking of it.

Signs would be good, especially if you're being chased (don't want to run into a room full of enemy auto-turrets!). Modern Aircraft Carriers have signs in them so the crew don't get lost, so they wouldn't look out of place.

well lets hope xwingguy gets the interior for the mon cal up so he can start on the sd AND MAYBE THE SSD. if its playable.

I agree, but how to make them ? The only solution i can imagine is creating new models with the texts and direction markers on it - and this would be a lot of hard work.

you could use the space signs.
red = gun turret
blue = hangar
Green = system

delta_602 · Post by **delta_602** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:56 pm

good idea
then the player must only remember the colors.
but what with the health signs of the critics
xwingguy told about that

Chamboozer · Post by **Chamboozer** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:58 pm

The health signs will be inside the room, im guessing. these wil be in the hallways

well, we're in for ALOT of fun the way things are going now.
signs in the ships would sertainly help me, as i would use quite some time to find the things in those big bad ships.
you could get lost inside.
and for those HP bars, maybe a BIG screen on a wall could tell us?

off topic: well...soon this topic will soon reach 1000 replies, quite impressive.
alittle idea fell into my mind when i was done posting, explains "edit"

when this map is finished, maybe this map could have it's own movie...
EAW themed.
you fought like this(normal/original space map)
now fight like this(show of xwingguy's new halls, rooms, criticals and ships)
would maybe be fun to make... just alittle brainwave...

xwingguy · Post by **xwingguy** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:06 pm

Yes, I've got to do something about getting lost. We'll see what I do.

Make my own movie...I've got Fraps, so it could be done. (Hopefully LucasArts won't hunt me down for that.)

One of many reasons you may think twice about going for that reactorcore:

It doesn't like to go down without a fight:

Kinda reminds me of Descent. (An older yet totally awsome game.)

Maybe another reason is that it would take a lot (and I mean A LOT) to take out that generator (of course, if you destroy the defences 1st)??

off topic: all of you are traying to make the simple game that battlefront is, to a strategy game...

AND I LIKE IT!!!!

can you make a map with the interiors thats not the battle of endor

AlPhA29 · Post by **AlPhA29** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:59 pm

i think u should reskin the reactor core. It doesn't fit with the utapau style.

xwingguy · Post by **xwingguy** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:18 pm

I have a problem with skinning...I can't figure out how some of you alter the color w/o totally distorting the detail. I've seen what some of the ppl have done and I cant figure it out!

What program do you have, if it's photoshop i'll help you.

Chamboozer · Post by **Chamboozer** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:25 pm

To lock a door:

SetProperty("nameOfDoor", "IsLocked", 1)

To unlock a door:

SetProperty("nameOfDoor", "IsLocked", 0)

i tried that, but it didnt work. i place it in the ODF, right? and for nameofdoor do i put the odf name w/ out .odf, or with it?

Paint Shop Pro 7.

I figured out colorize. But changing the color doesn't seem to do much for it.

Name some of useful fuctions anyway. Chances are that I'll have them too.
