Rends, contact me when you next get on XFire, I can get you a more Coruscant like look with new skies, and sky dome overlays... I think you will like what I have in mind...

this might inspire mappers to explore the world of urban warfare. I wonder if there is any way to have a skyscraper with a first floor that u can walk into...

This looks really good. Im impressed with the already amount of custom content in this map. ground vehicles would be a nice addition instead of just fighters

Um, why would there be speeders during the middle of a battle?? even on courscant thats not reasonable...

and if rends is going for a coruscant look, there should not really be any ground. The skyscrapers are really high. Even that high building would just be the top most civilized and travelled level. There is an undercity beneath the lowest populated depths of the city, where nothing civilized lives. This is mentioned in several books, by several authors in several eras, and in at least one pc game, and probably somewhere canon.

So rends, I say just make a dark ground texture and place the buildings in mid air.(like the trees in wookieland) Maybe just some light sources on the ground.

What do you have planned for this map?

P.S. Are you going to put some landmarks in? Senate building? Jedi Temple? There has to be a suitable 3d model already done out there. Maybe just for the backround,CGartist could do it.

Sadly they were there in the movie. I was wondering the same thing when I saw it.

I guess people on courscant just don't value their life anymore

Yeah that's wierd that in the movie everyone was acting casual down below during the Battle Of Coruscant. I mean that's like aliens attacking the United Nations or whatever that place is where all the countrys meet.

it is the U.N. I guess in a situation like that, where are you going to go? Imagine evacuating all those buildings though.

The backgornd story is that the Senator Area is under attack by CIS. Padmes Skyscraper will be one of the major ones with a couple of skyscapers around you saw in the movie (II+III). Most battle will be indoors with some walkways between the buildings. But there will be also some fighters and plattforms for outdoor fight. Think about Bespin Platforms.

Maybe someone can answer some questions:
Does the Area have a proper Name?
I would also like to add Palpatines office (building) to the map but need some images from the building. CGartist told me that´s not a skyscraper but when Palpatine watched out of the office window it looked like that is is on a hifger level (remember Mace flew out of the window down and there was also some loud windsounds after the windowglass collapsed).

And was Coruscant the same in the GCW era? Or wouldn´t Rebels and Imps fit to that map?

Images from the building (inside shots) or of the building (outside)? There are a few inside at starwars.com. Thing is, you would have to find the episode III art. I've been trying to find it, but with no luck. But I know it is there, I've seen it.

1. The Area is called Republica 500 i think, possibly 501, i cant remember that so good

2. In the Imperial Era, the Empire has build Statues and such things all over the Planet (at the end of Episode 6 you can see the people smash one of that Statues

)

The GCW story could be when the rebels sieze coruscant.
Or wait, did it get overthrown at the end without alliance help?
Becuase there is no way the rebels could get within a lightyear of Courscat pre ep 6.

Perhaps you could make a new side of armed civilians(Similar to the bounty hinters) who begin overthrowing the imps after the news of the emperors death.

Of course, it does not have to be perfect from v1.

Ok, gues i will let the GCW era in.

About Palpatines building. I need some outdoor shots. I´ve enough indoor screenies.

Grievous · Post by **Grievous** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 5:29 pm

what is "palpatines building" could you be more specific(as in his office building or what?).

this is off topic but I found it when i was searching "palpatine"

Bush haters will like this:

Is it the 'imperial palace' that your talking about, or simply his office in the senate building(thats where windu died I think)

Rends · Post by **Rends** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:55 pm
