I don't have a name for this map yet because I don't quite know what it looks like, and I haven't found a good planet to match its description. But I can tell you that it is essentially a jungle with fairly steep hills. Also on a side note: this is my first map EVER, so I expect criticism. About 80% done.

Stuff that's done:

Command Posts
LUA
Vehicles
Barriers
Terrain
The Sky
Objects

Stuff that needs to be done:

Localizing(the name of the map, I was hoping you guys could nominate some, after 4 nominations, I will make a poll)

Looks pretty bland, to be honest. I think it needs some props and foliage, and the terrain texture looks a little odd to me. Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but you really need to fix it up before release.

I think it looks like something of Naboo, so maybe something with the name of Naboo ^^

I wasn't sure I was quite done with the objects, so thanks for pointing that out. And the texture for the terrain is only there for now. I will add more to it.

Okay, we have one vouch for Naboo.

It reminds me of Telos.

And yeah, it needs more stuff, and also new ground textures, not the same everywhere, and a sky change too, keep it up, you are going great

Thanks, Labj. Nice to hear encouraging words. And I now have one vouch for Telos.

By the way, I have been working on the texture of the ground, and I think I have something that might work. Pics soon.

Time to learn what foilage is.

hmmm unnamed you say. never i have seen an unnamed map.

lookes great. maybe you can find a name later ( example kashyyyke:... or endor:....)

this is either 50% done and going to be boring to play, or it should not be in this thread yet.

have you:
a. finished prop placement?
b. started ai planning?
c. done any aesthetic changes ie changed any textures or add water and/or foliage?
d. any of the other 1000s of possible tweaks?

a. Close
b. Yes
c. Working on it

It's a little too open, so maybe add some creepers, bushes, pools of water,etc. It is only 50% done after all. It kind of reminds me of alderaan.

I am just following Fierfek's tutorial. I only go as far as he does.

UPDATE: After adding some foilage and changing the terrain texture...

hmmm...don't take this the wrong way, but I think you could have waited to release a notice of your map's progress. You have every right to do it whenever you feel like, but to be frank, it feels a little under-cooked right now. May I suggest changing that yucky terrain texture?

here is a link to give you everything you need to make a good map!

happy map making!!!

It doesn't look yucky to me. And I know what I need to make a good map.

I dont know... There is something wrong about it....

One thing though, I think you should make the ground texture a bit darker, because then it blends with the foliage a bit... Just dont make it too dark...

I still can't think off whats bugging me about this map...!

You should really change the sky and the ground texture. There are many in the assets with better quality. For the ground, I would suggest Endor or Yavin.

The Sky

UPDATE: I changed the sky to the Naboo one for now. If I see need-and I might-I will change it. I have also decided ultimately to name the map Telos: Jungle.

To be honest, your map looks like neither Telos nor a jungle.

What do you suggest? I am not done with it yet.

Maybe Ithor...

Never heard of it, but I'm guessing thats the home planet of all Ithorians?
