And I have an idea for you. Actually read stuff, in particular the posts saying 'No GCW.'

also what if u just have a lot of freetime like me????? =P i usually get to spend around 40 hours a week on mods =P

Woah-my-gosh! That is insanely too much. My suggestion: Work on your map a little bit every week for several months and once you see that it is finished release it. Might as well make a couple very good maps than a lot of okay/bad ones.

Announcement:
Anyway guys, this map is aesthetically at the 'done' stage, except for the big easter egg (@Fingerfood: you know what this is....) and a few skins to be changed (ARC-170, a few clones, missiles).
However, the gameplay is still...annoying. Basically the map needs better pathing, less turrets, and more cover, for which I've added in some more rocks and small trees. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so release of 1.0 is a while off (don't ask for a release date. Within next two months at the very latest.)
To balance this out the beta is now going to be public. Meaning you won't have to sign up for it at all, there'll be a link in this thread when the beta is ready that anyone can use to get the beta version.
Beta version will have:
CW Conquest, GT Assault.
Won't have (but will be in version 1):
GT Conquest, CW Hunt, GT Hunt, CW Dogfight.
Won't have (may be in version 1, unlikely):
Deathmatch.

Anyway, beta release will try to be in less than a week, two weeks max.

Use flyer splines if you want the flyers to follow a path
It's rather easy just look in the flyer_Spline doc and read it completely (you wont get what you need till about the middle of the doc)

So anymore progress on this map??

Stop requesting updates on others' work. An author will update when they have time to, not at the behest of others. Further posts like the one above will net you a warning. -Staff

Great work on GTHA map, Skyhammer! There are a few things that I found were... interesting. The RC in the picture below had this wierd glitch, I believe this is Fluffy?

Hidden/Spoiler:

It's wierd, like you can see through him, but with everything still solid. It reminds me of Mav's Sullust, with the lightsaber texture hiding behind the rock.

Anyway, I sent you a PM.

Nova Hawk · Post by **Nova Hawk** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 10:45 pm

You guys, if you read in previous posts, Sky said that Fluffy wanted it to be like that.

Wait, so will my unit be in this one?

Nova Hawk · Post by **Nova Hawk** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 1:01 pm

I'm guessing my unit is still in there...

How are you going to do Race mode? That sounds great, but it doesn't seem like there's enough room...

Dogfight sounds great, too.

Sky_216 · Post by **Sky_216** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:16 pm

This map...is too small. So once again I've put troop counts down, and now it seems okay (12 rep units, 16 CIS ones) and it now works okay. Release now depends mainly on sides (and in this case mainly on Jedi/Sith)and localization. Only three gunships now (they were annoying me).
Race mode: (if used) will consist of a series of rings floating in space that you have to float through.
Dogfights:
CW - standard fighters (no gunships) + V19 + Scarab. All custom weapons/odfs of course.
GCW - same as above but with + Bwing and + TIE d.
GT - same as GT but orange shuttle and fighter will get flak cannons rather than flamethrowers.

A question: is there any way of copying localization from one map to another??? Because it'll be a real drag doing localization for the same GCW sides three times.....

A beta will be released ASAP (don't ask for release date) with working CW and GCW eras in conquest mode.

Looks nice. Can't wait for the release...

Will there be a K-wing???

Just copy the localize files from one map's ...\BF2_ModTools\data_ABC\Common\Localize folder to the other's. You'll have to re-localize the map's name and description, but it's a small price to pay.

Nice idea for race. Its been used before in numerous games, bringing it to BF2 is ingenious.
All that's left to do is to wait for the beta, I guess.

Wow! Race sounds like a great idea! Maybe making it a time travel, not an AI vs you race to checkpoints, but I don't know what you're doing. I wonder how you came up with that idea?

What the heck happened to me? And how? I don't think that there are alpha channels in any of those skins except the ones that are s'posed to be like that!

GCW or GT for conquest/hunt modes?
