@elmo - silly me
@Elmo (again) - whats the "cover* on the battlefield going to be? Check you PM btw.

Two questions, Elmo:

1.If the outcome of the local bot battle affects the main battle, how will you make sure the CIS got a chance to turn the tide of the local bot battle as well?

2.If the outcome of the local bot battle doesn't affect the main battle, how will you make sure the bots don't waste all their ammo on targets far way, and how will you make sure that people actually take a look on the local bot battle - you didn't create it for fun!

Well its #2...

No one, not even AI, are dumb enough to shoot people a mile away when someone a couple feet away is aiming a gun at their head

And the locals are just for atmosphere. No one will really concentrate on them.

@Elmo: What are you planning to do about those one-poly sided bridges?

He said that Squipple and Ace had enlarged the brigdes and added bottoms to them

Well, Elmo's let me decorate the map more with some destroyed vehicles and props, to make it look more "battle-y" and kind of fill up the bridge so as it's not as empty. Here's some WIP screens of what I've done so far.

Crashed ARC-170 fighter (it's kind of hard to take a good pic of it... it looks beter in-game):

Crashed BARC Speeder (once again, hard to get a good angle, looks better in-game... I also need to remove a few of the flames, since right now it looks a little too crowded there):

Decomissioned CIS anti-tank gun (made with some cleverly placed snail tank chunks to make it look kind of like an 88 the Germans used in WWII):

Destroyed building:

Downed AT-TE (which is right in front of the CIS AT gun, which explains what happened to it):

Very nice job to the both of you, this looks very impressive. I love that tank shot, Schizo.

Looks good but one thing i suggest is adding craters in the bridge. You know like black marks from all the explosions

Those crashed ships are nice, but you might want to cut down on the fire.

That "anti tank" gun looks awesome.
Would it be possible to animate it and add turret effects to it so one could actually use it?
Probably not

Looks like a very nice improvement you've done there, Schizo. Just one off topic question. Are the flames placed my an .ODF?

Back onto topic.

That crashed ARC 170 probably has to be the best crash site from those pictures, in my opinion, and, i'm sure myself and others hope you'll add a few more!

Woooah.

trainmaster611 · Post by **trainmaster611** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:42 pm

Wow, that is some really creative work Schizo!

I lack the certain creativity necessary to make a building look "knocked over"

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:15 pm

Wow! I'm amazed too!

Alright. I have gotten 2 bridges layed down.. one on top then the main one. The top one is not accessible *yet. I had an idea to make the map multileveled but it didn't work out. If you guys want a multi leveled map, it's up to you, because I'm stumped.

My current plan for vehicles is this--

Conquest--

CIS: AAT (2)

REP: AT-TE (1) (maybe with drop animation!!!)

CTF--

CIS: STAP(2)

REP: BARC Speeder(2)

Assault--

REP: UT-AT(1) ((because of its MASSIVE size))

CIS: NO idea... the only vheicle there were crab droids, tri droids, and dwarf spider droids, but no models exist for such vehicles atm.

Here is a screen showing the 2(3) bridges:

*only if you guys gimme ideas!

...Yep, that about sums it up.

Wooah, these shots reall give you the feeling that the battle is already waging for some months.
Fabulous work, Schizo.

As to the "multi-level" issue: What about using the bridge with the hole in it, and placing makeshift stairs made from crates under it?

Now there is a creative idea, Elmo, do you think you could do it?

Ateas · Post by **Ateas** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 10:17 am

That looks great!

But, you are going to put more stuff on those bridges, right?

Oh man this'll probably be the best *HATSJOO*second map someone ever made
