Those trenches don't blend well with the ground texture. Might just be the video quality.

@Darth_Maul: No it isn't the video quality (check older screenshots). The ground texture is overbrightened, but Idk how to fix it. Gonna ask it sometime later if I didn't find a solution yet.

Try changing the color in ZeroEdit?

Oh, that video is mean: Poor rebels being shot and torn apart, and then zyncially: a happy x-mas song. (Ok, you had me laughing several times, but it's still very mean^^)

But nevertheless, you did one great thing: Making the rebels stay in their trenches ! I always hated it how they jumped out and ran stupidly across the field in the shipped hoth map.

Anyway, I still have some suggestions: Include the snowspeeder hangar, some tunnels (maybe they could be used to sneak past the rebel positions) and disperse the turrets and e-webs (it doesn't look right when they're concentrated in one spot), and move them to the right positons (turrets behind the trenches, e-webs in the trenches)

@Protector_Pulch: I first putted the Imp march down there, but it was a little bit too (how the [diet dr.pepper] should I put this? xD) common, and since its almost X-mas, I putted a christmas song down there ^^
Your right about the turrets and E-WEB's, but I'll need to fix the E-WEB's anyway, since the viewpoint is [diet dr.pepper] up, so I'm gonna replace them once I fixed that issue. And I've already started on tunnels etc. I'm gonna include the Snowspeeder hangar, but the problem is: I can't find any snow walls that r large enough to cover the sides of the hangar.

Nice video. Looks very promising for a 0.000000000000000001 alpha, LOL.

It seems that Space Coruscant isn't going to be as grand as I'd like it to be. Space maps, it seems, can't be made extra large because once you've flown a short distance weapons stop firing and units die as soon as they exit their vehicles. It doesn't matter though. With everything crammed together I'm sure it can be made even more hectic than it would have been; just like the movies.

I want to thank PvtParts for making and sending me some of the best explosion effects I have ever seen. They will be a great help when it comes to making the map look super-realistic.

*Attention all mappers and future-mappers*

I know I'm not a beta-tester, but once you feel that all your side changes have been completed, please send the map to me so I can be sure that everything is as accurate as possible. If it isn't, I'll probably create an accurate ODF file for you, or you can send me yours so that I can edit it. Alternatively, send it to Soul/MS, because I think he said he'd do that anyway. Can't quite remember

.

About the snow; I think that the Zero engine is set up so that if the texture is bright enough, the object automatically glows. Don't quote me on that though.

Love it!

Thanks MS. And Razorpig as well of course for thinking of others

MS, it looks like your Hoth-map will be very good...
and Reku, I can't wait to try out your Space Coruscant-map...

just don't stress it... what clone legion will we be able to play as at the map?

I took one look at that pic and realised I got the handle grip on the DH-17 wrong

. Ah well. I'm guessing that's the place where Leia and crew were commanding from? Looks pretty cool.

MasterSkywalker

DS17 will be shot as pistol or carbine?

MasterSkywalker · Post by **MasterSkywalker** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 10:28 am

@Rekubot: Yep. Thats the main room of the command center ^^
@JK514: Its a DH-17

Its gonna be a semi-auto blaster carbine.

Soul -- Merry Christmas!!

WOOT! I love the dh-17. and the hoth pic aat the top is looking preety good.
This looks like its going to be great when it comes out.
EDIT: wait didn't the rebels use A280s more on the battle of hoth?(Not a complaint just a canon little thing)(but swbf2 doesn't have to be canon)

Should we release our maps first into &quot;MoviePacks&quot; for every movie, and then into a large pack?
