I am requesting a map that has some land but mostly water. And it could have underwater or "overwater" vehicles. And I was also thinking about a couple of units that can s swim or just survive underwater at least or skim and walk on the surface of the water... anyway you get the picture basically an underwater city. Oh and don't call me lazy for not doing it myself the mod tools don't work for mac.

Swim would be kinda hard, but surviv under water would be cool. Good idea!

Im not sure if there are anything in soldier odfs that address that....... maybe

hmm...

I don't think they even made animations for swimming, but THAT could be great to have if they release a patch, or starts on a SWBF3

Yeah, would be cool. But still...it doesn't feel SW with swiming soldiers.

What you said is partially wrong... Imagine if those units could be modelled and integrated in SWBF : In that case, seeing Star Wars characters swimming wouldn't be so "unrealistic"...

Good point Leviathan but not that i would know but it probally would be hard to make the animations for swimming...

You could fake an underwater battle if you're talking about on the ocean floor. I had a map that accomplished that look. I just had to up the jump values for all units so that it looked like there was less gravity. I scrapped the map, however.

If you're talking about boat vehicles, that's not possible. The best closest you can come is hovercraft.

Hmm.... well in the first post I said It would be water with little Islands around but maybe it could be "Fake."

I had been thinking of making a map aboard the Princess' ship that opens the EP 3 film. But I'm that good an modding. Then saw that there is one shipped with SWBF 2. Now I quess I should just get that game..

I was thinking of a map that would be under water. you could make the units have the clone jetpack. I dont know if this is possible, but mak the flame from the jetpack a slightly darker blue than the water. It would be like a scuba pack.

That does sound pretty interesting Kaos4.

change the flame into a stream of bubbles. would look pretty realistic to me

Kaos:
I was reading some threads in the modding section and it looks like an underwater level was already made. "Kamino: Serene" made by Astute.

Maybe he could offer you some helpful suggestions for your idea?

Hey, Kamino: Serene is a fake map, like teancum says: "you can fake an underwater map" but if not units will die, I asked it a time ago, all peaple say units always die when underwater.

Very true. Units do die underwater. Happened to me several times on eddie's kastel map. Also if you crouch too long in the water of the shipped Kashyyk maps.

Although a fake the apperance, sound, and the physics of the level are close enough (at least for me) to be underwater.

When we say Serene is "fake" we don't mean that in a bad way as it's an excellent map. It's just "fake" in that it doesn't contain any of what the game defines as "water".

I agree, but we say fake, cause it don´t use water

With an underwater/overwater battle, its highly possible from what i've seen of SWBF2. It would be really complicated though, you would have to design two different enviroments, one for under water and one for above. I'm guessing you could block the vehicles from falling the same way the hangars block infantry in space.

Hmmmmmmmm..... Well I have absolutley NO MODDING EXPERIENCE whatsoever because well ican't cuz there aren't any modding tools out for Mac and I DON'T HAVE BF2 YET CUZ THAT"S NOT OUT FOR MAC EITHER Grrrrrrr....
