:: BETA FULL ::
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had this map on the bench for a few months now, but seeing as the GT4 Competition has started I decided to pull it out and work on it.

Its designed to be apart of my map series (follows after Verena: Narcissus Valley) I've had to change the story for this map so it doesn't reveal much for the series. As this map is a major turning point in my series story wise it will turn out like the Star Wars trilogy, where ep 4,5,6 were released before 1,2,3 which leaves a mystery as to what happened.

:: Information ::
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Name
    • Ez'Shz: Sun'ken
  • Planet
    • Ez'Shz
  • Location
    • Sun'Ken Mines
  • Description

    An underwater map Located outside an underwater mining station, Material from the mines is a combustible explosive when dry so its mined from underwater to prevent accidents and to keep it in a stable form.

    The Mines are located on the South Pole of the planet, where the only non exhausted mineable material is located on the planet. The mines are made up up a few key structures and sectors.

    • Energy Collector Stations
      Multiple stations are located around the planet, these ones underwater draw in a gas lift over by the mining of the materials and convert it to a usable power source.
    • Mines
      Obvious to the name, this is where the mining happens. Specialized drills and extractors extract the material from the rock. In case of emergency blast doors will shut off the mining sections of the mines to prevent a disaster. Each mine entrance has a command center.
    • Manufacturing Facility
      This is where the material gets cleaned up, extracted and and purified. The Material is then ready to be shipped out. The Material are placed into large crates where the moisture is sucked out of the material making it explosive and ready for customers to buy and use, such as the Republic Army.
    • Landing Docks
      There are several landing docks located around the outskirts of the mines. They allow specialized ships to land and transport the crates to an outlet, Ships from small freighters to large Cargo Transport Ships such as the kind the Trade Federation used.
    • Collector Overlook
      This is where the Mining Officers can overlook the entire mining operations. These overlooks are built up high above the mines, Sometimes located on top of an abandoned mining drilling rig.
  • Status
    82% Complete. :: BETA STAGE ::
  • Preview

    Two hours of work.

Penguin, my map has very similar effects, but did you use fog to make everything seem so....cloudy? I tried fog in my map, but it kept settling along the bottom and moved around to much.

I used fog and a very low vis distance, aswell as the sky and a few effects to make it like that, good thing with the fog and the vis distance is I can stick alot of objects in it without it lagging

Isn't a map supposed to be near 50% done before you post it as a WIP? Or did you forget to edit the percentage of how much done?

Penguin is an exception Achronos, considering we know she can mod well....extremely well.

Not to mention that those rules were put in place to prevent people from spamming "whens the release date! we want screens!" etc.

Since this map is for the Compitition it should be fine to post it publicly sinces its already well under way and not something that will be given up on and has a release date deadline.

Also i did include one quick screenie, have to update my post with the "up-to-date" ones as well as the rest of the beta spots.

I really should post more updates lol. Adding custom effects, changing laser textures, explosion effects and stuff for "under waterness" changing the layout and setting up the CPs

Need some help anyway

What underwater vehicles for the Clone Wars era are there?

So far i've only got Dwarf Spider Walkers, need some more vehicles for the Republic and CIS

I can't remember for sure, but I think the clone wars episode with Kit Fisto under water had some CIS and Republic vehicles. Might check that out.
