@Darth_Squoobus: The Gungan Light Turret from SWGB?

Wow Frag, that looks amazing! How long did you work on that exactly?

offtopic/ I got a teacher with the name of Pelt, lol

Oh my God, it's the skyscraper just outside Padme's apartment! You can see it clearly in Episode 3!

Thanks MandeRek, it was about an hour to model, the walls were more staight up and down and boring so I did a bit of extruding, and texturing took may 2 hours so not long. The ceiling lights have the render glow flag and color at vertices map applied so if light glow is on in game they are all bright and glowy.
Oh or were you talking about the rotating light that took about a half an hour

I just can't help but think of the creepy hallways from ALIEN whenever I see that.

You can also see it clearly in the top left corner of the header if you use the Star Wars Gametoast theme.

Very nice, are you planning on finishing this map as interior one? You know I admire the way you keep 'inviting' and 'use' things and methods to make new, awesome looking models right? (occ.map, lights, now this etc.)

@Frag, I'm guessing this is part of the secret diagram I saw earlier? The tunnels look really great. Your innovative mapping techniques are ingenious. But try to give the map layout more variety so that it's more than a giant circle with a hand full of offshoot rooms.

As for the bridge, the trenches will be deep enough that you can't climb over but you can still shoot over. The craters however are shallow enough to climb out of (I was thinking of making a section of craters equivalent to the shelled out No Man's Land) so they can be used for limited cover. I know I will keep at least a few of the holes, but I don't know how much. Any input?

Trench warfare is not an easy thing to replicate, my suggestions to you is putting craters in the middle would do VERY well but not that many though and don't make them awfully deep so as to keep the trenches as the main focus.

Fantastic fragme!
@train-very interesting concept, it looks like fun

Working on conversion from Warhammer 40k to SWBF2, And Yes I did clear with the admins before posting this picture.... these are the necron weapons so far, Gauss Flayer, Gauss Cannon, and Warscythe


I know its not softimage, The program I use to create models is 3ds Max8... I then later export them as an .obj file, to be used as weapons

Thanks train, plan on seeing how well game play goes once I get far enough a long and change if required.
For the trenches, the only possible problem I can see is it just turning into a grenade lobbing war.
You in your trench me in mine, hmm snowball fight with exploding snowballs. If you want some sort of horrific realism of trench warfare such as it was during WWI then have one or two places where you can run out of the trenches and try to rush the enemy.


Bonus treat, finally found a use for this model that I had previously showcased here. Was looking at the hall way and decided it really could use it. Oh there is no pathing done yet that is why it goes a little stupid. (will make a better video later)

Wow i love the mouse droid , and i need it for my map , it is possible ?
And how to take picture in xsi thanks , and put here .

Will probably release the mouse as an asset someday but not until it has made it's debut in the map I am currently working on.

As for taking pictures of XSI screens just press shift-print screen then paste it into any paint program and save it as a jpg.

Amazing work FragMe!. I always loved those little mouse things

Off Topic:
Why Shift+PrtScrn, and not just PrtScrn? Not trying to sound offensive or anything, just wondering.

I'm guessing shift + prtscreen is a shortcut of XSI, which makes a perfect screenshot of only your object windows, instead of a screenshot that's just a snapshot of what's currently on your monitor.

thanks

Could be, I just know that print screen alone never worked for me but shift-print screen does

Nice mouse droid.

UFO Im setting it up so when you shoot the secondary weapon it shoots in all directions.
*is this possible?*
