GEONOSIS: COASTLINE

hello fellow Gametoasters
ive been working on the map for abit and felt like now would be a good time for a WIP topic
. . . so here it it
Geonosis Coastline is set on a cliff side overlooking a small ocean on geonosis
it features a republic outpost and a cis crashlanding zone on top of the cliff
and a republic base (bigger) and a small cis foothold on the botton overlooking the sea.
no real story to it + its more fun to make your own up
as for sides its gonna have my simple 156th legion and some cis units
and no veichles too small.

things i still need to do:
-finish rep/cis sides/skins
-some more objects/blending
-make a path up/down the cliff x
-pathing/barriers x
-nodes x
-Cover!!
and polish abit

PROGRESS:56%
map:80%
Sides:40%
pathing/barriers:
Lua/coding:95%

okay time for pics
-pics of the sides so far ARF trooper: clone Commander: Skytrooper: arc gunner (yet to be changed ): expect updates soon

questions/comments/jawas :jawa:

Cool, didn't know Geonosis had that much surface water.

Anyway, creative work, but for me the lighting looks too bright for Geonosis.
The Republic side looks fine and with nice textures.


If the gameplay is fun, this will be a cool map.

The sky doesn't fit. Is that the Tatooine sky? I personally think that Geonosis should have the Geonosis sky.

yeah looking back it looks abit islandy
ill change the sky and lighting make it look alittle more like geonosis

Sweet! looking good. I like the sides and there colors.

I concur with spiderpig, i also think the skin are good but a little to bright green for my taste, but no matter.
concept 7/10
model usage 8/10
ground textures 5/10

I personally don't think Geonosis ought to have an ocean. Maybe a lake at most. The map itself looks very open. The buildings in the Republic base appear somewhat spread out.

micro update:
added nemodain commander

looks good, but you should add more objects to the map, cause it looks open.

yep cover is on my list to things to do its really open ill work on it though

Ok, first off I think this a great map so far and I do really love the sides but a couple things I wanted to point out:

1. Geonosis does not have any water, its just a barren wasteland kinda like Tatooine.
2. Can you change the environment and rename it something else besides Geonosis? No offense, but Geonosis has just been done way too many times.

I think this will be a unique geonosis map, but no geo map will beat my buddies geonosis mp, Landing at point rain

"Its never good for a map to be too open" (Once Maveritchell say this for my Felucia Forest map (1).I dont know but i remember this comment for very long time.The same is here.It will be good to add more objects.Maybe some rocks to the ground.

The water seems pretty bright and tropical for Geonosis, which is mostly dusty and dry. I think dusty/muddier water would be more fitting, but that's just my opinion.

true i'll make it abit more dirty does look alittle tropical

side update 2.0 new clone trooper engineer and heavy class all units subject to skins because there abit blurry

expect an actual map update later on today

You need to use the proper .tga options for the skins, to make them less blurry.

I like the blue sky. But the lighting doesn't match. The color of the stone should then be a more tannish color. The models could be loads better for the props, and reskins would be nice to give the correct hue. The lighting gives the impression of redness, not blueness though. Change that. Geonosis' weather is caused by temperature differences, not relating to water, yet it is plausible there is some surface water. Glad you are the first one not to do sunset Geonosis. Now, all we need is non-sunset Bespin .

EDIT: Sorry, Acryptozoo, was I too late? You really have a chance to make a Geonosis map that doesn't feel like a copy of all the other ones....

great work

but geonosis coastline??

i don't know if the geonosianer even know how to write water

update: 11/20/10
