Naboo: Retaking Theed (WIP)

This is the topic for my upcoming map that will hopefully, if not a bit earlier, be released at christmas.

Due to the name "Naboo: Retaking Theed", i hope that most of you understand that the map takes place on Naboo, featuring both Theed Palace/City/thing, and some of the Naboo forest/swamp/thing. Lets begin the tour, shall we?

Story: (this is a clone wars map. i have yet to remove the GCW era) Long after the Battle of Naboo from episode 1, when the somewhat newly born clone army sweeps across the galazy, removing any traces of the CIS, they arrive on Naboo, finding an unexpected surprise: The CIS has control over Theed once again. The clones set up base on a cliff overlooking theed, possessing a large amount of Gian Speeders and a few of the newer model of Gian Speeder(aka an alliance whatever its called). The CIS has a few staps and some AATs. not very much, but they have to have some vehicles. The two forces clash together, and hopefully the clones win because i dont want a Theed controlled by the CIS.

Features: Theed, replicated as well as i thought necessary.
A cliff overlooking theed, which the clones have control of.
The Naboo Forest, stationed behind the cliff overlooking theed.
Snow-Henge, a little christmas surprise that i included in the forest for those who are in the christmas spirit to find.

For screenshots, see http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/jedimaster745/

i also need beta testers. if anyone would like to volunteer to beta test (you will be credited), notify me. my xfire is jedimaster745. i only need three beta testers so act quickly or you may miss your chance. :jango:

oh and tell me if you have any suggestions :D

Hmmm... looks interesting. I may wanna beta. I suggest putting in custom sides for the Clones. Ask Sky, he has a ton of skins that he may lend you. Also, will there be any Naboo Starfighters??

I remember this mission in the old Star Wars: Starfighter game. Is this map what its based off of??

I like the cliff, nice use of foliage. The city looks relatively... bland. It looks like you use a lot of the same buildings. Use some others from the shipped Naboo assets.

Do you plan on adding custom skins? They make the map look more unique and professional.

It looks like you're really dead set on releasing it in the holidays, I guess I'll have to put away Jinglin' Town for a bit. :wink:

Oh, I forgot, I'll beta test. I don't have XFire though, will that be a problem?

That's all I have to say. :)

*sighs*, star wars: starfighter. one of my favorite old pc games. too bad it no longer works for me anymore :( . sadly, it isnt based off of that game. im pondering whether i should use naboo starfighters or not. my only concern is that the map might not be built properly for starfighters, as it would be easy to fly out of the map and land somewhere youre not supposed to...possibly i could modify the map for starfighter usage, but then it would only be fair to give the CIS some starfighters. hmm...

i would love to use some of sky's skins, if he/she(i dont know which because i dont know everything) would be willing to lend me them.



oh and thank you null for beta testing. my xfire is jedimaster745(i think i already said that) so tell me when you want to test it.

oh, sorry, didnt read the part about no xfire...um...ill have to think of a way to get it to you...

I don't think you can send maps on GT through the PM system, someone correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I have xfire, and I'd like to beta test. :) But I think that fighters would be kind of hard, because I believe the collision geometry of the buildings extends up to some length :\.

But looks good!

TTN: I think you're right on the buildings' collision. Well, that was the case in BF1, I remember Mont Edur (forgot who made it, but it was fun) had that problem.

Does anyone know if one could get XFire without reinstalling?

null, i dont think you need to reinstall to get xfire. at least for my case i didnt have to. but yea if you could get one that would be great.

Actually, yes you can because Sky sent me a link to his Catacran GTHA map. I would like to beta test too!

I'll see if I can get XFire. Thanks for letting me test.

If I can't though, email it to me. Just look at my profile. I'll tell you if I can't get XFire, though.

Bardar: I think he wants it to be a closed beta. If you put it on FF, people can still get to it.
