Good thing I have "display enemy icons" on or I would likely never see any Battle Droid in the field with that excelent camouflage. :P

The clone skins are great as stated many times before, I just don't like that republic symbol on the side of his helmet, it looks like it was squeezed in.

i have to agree with nihilo about the symbol..
and the cliffs dont really fit with the sand..
but beside that it looks cool

hmm..i see what your saying about the symbol. i'll see what i can do :)
and as for the cliffs, i think theyre more fitting in the second picture. perhaps in areas where they meet just sand i should put foliage inbetween to sort-of "blend" the two?

Hum, that's a silly workaround (no offense meant), you will have to find another way...

Perhaps you can fix it by recoloring the cliffs to match the brightness of the sand?

nope, all battle droids are pretty much camouflage.

If you send the betas out before July, don't send it to me. I'm going on vacation and will not be able to play till then or maybe even later.

well by the looks of it its been over a month and a half since an update. Finally the wait is over! (even if it be a small update but a most effective one at that)
I'm working to get this map on its feet again, gotta iron out lag, bugs, and random CTDs but it still lives :)
This update is a much improved palm tree made by me and clotified by FragMe! to make it sway in the breeze (with some slight lighting changes). Enjoy the minor update of goodness.

(i plan on using this as a reference picture for improving the general forest area, which is much needed)

random side note: i have a nine hour car drive to north carolina this saturday, i might get some work done on this then and update later in the day

I like the potential I see in this map - some things do look really nice. However, just watching that short video there are several things you could work on:
-Sky texture has a seam
-Sharp terrain near large body of water
-Too much open area (add some reefs in the water, or maybe some docks)
-Trees all used at 90 degree angles (there's a really bad spot near the end). Angle them, tilt them, put them in uneven groups. Lines of trees straight-up is unnatural.

The skin kind of reminds me of jango. I don't know why though. Looks like a pretty good map :thumbs:
