As you know Iv quit SWBF1 modding but I am slowly but surely getting Geonosis Arena done for whenever mod tools come out for swbf2 .

Im just concentrating on making the models and shall be working on textures at a later date. 80% of the textures are taken straight from AOTC movie screenshots .... some look good (like the execution columns ) ,others look pretty undetailed up close (steps) but like I said textures will be worked on.

These are VERY ealry pics but give you a kind of 'feel' of what it will be like .

I am working off the 'Inside the worlds of Star Wars - Attack of the clones -locations ' book so expect it to eventually be as close to the actual arena as possible.



Obi Wans prison (dont think it is in the arena but i thought it would be cool to include it anyway)





bear in mind im just in the planning phase still but "I've got a GOOD feeling about this "


Luckily for me I dont have to answer questions about release dates cos its not down to me


After this map (which im determined to complete b4 anything else) I will work on maps such as :

Coruscant : Galactic Senate
Invisible Hand
Battle over Naboo (ep1 space battle)
Mon Cal
Onboard a droid battleship (ep1)
Geonosis Space battle
+ more .

I will concentrate on all new ground battles ...since I think most people will be modding new space maps to begin with.

Bounes 1st to reply.
This is total AWSOME!! You should definatly release this for SWBF1. I Cant wait.

Hey Bandu,

I'll be glad to help out with textures if you'd like. As much as I'd like to build some maps of my own to contribute, (I work two jobs, so not much time) I'm still eager to contribute with some great textures for you guys who do have the time to build gret maps for us to enjoy.

PS:

With SWBf2's objective based gameplay, you may be able to make very good use of Obi-Wans prison room. I read somewhere that there's a map where you have to rescue Leia from the Death Star. Maybe you could have the same thing here for Obi-Wan. That's why Anakin & Padme went there to begin with.

Looks good. Just like the movies. I'm sure it'll be great when it comes out. My biggest suggestion to you would probably have to be to make the whole arena jam-packed with fighters, from both sides. Plenty of clones, droids, Jedi, Geonosians, and maybe an acklay (if you've seen the preview movie of Felucia, looks like it's going to make it into the game. I could totally see it in this map, as a kind of Rancor-type hazard you'd have to avoid while fighting). The whole battle should be total chaos, and there really shouldn't be a single break in the fighting, if it's possible. Just keep up the good work on those models, and I'm sure once BFII mod tools come out, this'll be the hit mod map for BFII (and probably one of the very first too).

Just one question though... how are you going to use the Jedi? You could have them as special units on the Republic... but that may unbalance the game a bit... unless you only give them a saber, one force power, and limited stamina to use. That'd kinda balance it out. Even so, I'm sure you'll find a way to incorporate it without making it totally unfair... Oh, and the droid/Geonosians should greatly outnumber the Jedi/clones. Like, maybe a hundred or so more. I mean, if the Republic's gonna have Jedi on the battlefield, then you might as well give the CIS some extra reinforcements to back 'em up.

And speaking of Jedi, who are you considering for heroes? Count Dooku would make a good one for the CIS... though I'd really like to see Jango as the hero on this map. After all, he was the one fighting in the movie, not the Count. Then, I guess for the Republic, you've got a lot of choices... Mace would make a good one, considering he was kinda the one who led the entire attack. But then Anakin would obviously be a good choice too, since he was down there right in the arena kicking Diet Dr. Pepper as the battle comenced. But then again, so did Obi-Wan, who's also an obvious choice... but if you're going to have the whole "save Obi-Wan, he's trapped in the prison-thing!", then you might as well go with either Mace or Anakin. I don't know, it's your map. You decide who's who in this map, not me.

But it's great to see people are already gearing-up to make some maps for BFII. That's a good sign; at least we know we'll get something after it's released... I don't feel like playing all the official maps over and over again... need something to spice it up, you know? What better a way than some good ol' mod maps...
I, myself, am actually in the planning stages of a map of my own. Space battle, over the Imperial-Remenant Throneworld of Byss. I don't want to give too much information away... but you can bet it's going to have a few appearences of such things as the Eclipse II and the Galaxy Gun... and maybe a few new fighters... TIE Defenders, perhaps?

at the moment the map will include :

Rep-

Clones
Unnamed jedi- balanced down a heck of a lot.
(these will be slectable from the start)
then when so many points and hero.........

mace , obi, anakin, padme, + whatever other Jedi are in bf2 ...... i will also have to balance the points selected jedi . The hero (not sure who it will be ) will be as strong as normal . Maybe Yoda could make an appearance . The hero will probably be mace or yoda -if he's included ......since they were masters and anikan and obi werent.

obviously the max amount of the points jedi will be 1 each .

Not sure what will be possible with SWBF2 so this may changwe alot

CIS

Droids
Geo's
Jango
Dooku



Plenty of rooms including hangars -which will house geo fighters and laats

Acklay will feature



Thats all for now

Sweet acklay and hanger, dude i can't wait for SWBF2.

JK514 this is for swbf2

I guess you've received the Star Wars : Episode II book you wanted to get...
Nice work, by the way... The only problem I've found is the presence of Geonosian turrets located on the ground... Except that, I have to admit you've made a great work...

no, the geonosians had 4 of those turrets in the arena...

How about you make LAATs spawn points? Or make a distant spawn point, withs pawning LAATs, so they have to fly into the arena.

Delta_57_Dash wrote:no, the geonosians had 4 of those turrets in the arena...

You may be right... I wasn't sure of my answer... As there were several dangers in this Arena, I doubted Geonosians would have been enough suicidal to use their turrets inside it...

ya there were 4 ...only thing was that they were on wheels . Maybe I will make a wheeled version later.

Lord Bandu
I know..

how about making the jedi allyed locals

Bandu, mind telling me how you mastered holos?

holos? if your refering to the obi wan prison then its just lights

ausome dude. Since this is for bf2 you should have assault ships in the sky as a spawn point so the gunships can come out of the hanger and help out a bit

oh boy i am REALLY excited about this map!screens look GREAT!!!

great job bandu! If we can somehow get how to work putting in movie clips, that'd pwn
