WIP Kashyyyk: Vengeance of the Wookies

Kaos4 · Post by **Kaos4** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 6:57 pm

This will be my first map, so don't expect too much. It will be GCW only (I think). It will be Wookies vs. Imperials. Here are 2 screens, more will come:

Hm... I really like this skins, and wookies with axes

The landscaping looks, ok, is there more than just one tree? Maybe you could add some hills and cliffs, and trees. Just some stuff to give the landscape some flavor. Nice job so far though!

Yeah, the skins are awesome! I'm guessing you made them? Very nice. I agree with timusafa on this one... It definitely needs more landscaping. Can't wait for a release! This one will be a good download for sure! =D

I will be adding more landscape. I tried to add a lot of the large trees but it created errors, so I will try to add a few more large ones and then work on the terrain. I did make the skins

.
The wookie with the axe is the hero. There is a special wookie class that uses the wampa animations. Since the Wookies don't have any real vehicles I will put in a wookie with the guided rockets. The imperial units are the same, except reskinned. The Imperial hero is currently Darth Vader.

you plan on changing the sky and terrain texture, right?
no offense, but this doesn't look like much yet.

About the wookiee with the wampa anims: Unrealistic.
The wookiees considered their claws as sacred. Tools, never weapons.
For a wookiee to use their claws as weapons was for that wookiee to be branded a mad-claw and exiled from wookiee society.

However, I do have some suggestions.
You could ask Vyse or Teancum for the vibroblade used in the Kotor Heros (BF1 Conversion Pack)
and, if you get it, reskin it to resemble Bacca's Blade, the ceremonial blade of the Wookiee Chieftan,
and make him the hero, then use the axe wookiee instead of the mad-claw.
(although, if this on the Kashyyyk forest floor, then you could put one or two mad-claw wookiees on a third team and have them attack everyone)

BTW, you should use Boba Fett as the hero.
You don't have to. Its just my personal opinion.

Yes. boba fett already has three wookiee-scalps, and definately wants more.

And I think there are too few trees. Kashyyyk was a jungle planet, after all.

arf! i imagine the wookie attack the big walker with his axe :p

Kaos4 · Post by **Kaos4** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 10:02 pm

I think I am going to stick with the wookie "berserker". I think it works well in-game, even though it may not be star wars realistic. It adds to the wookie "rage" factor(at being enslaved).
Here is another picture. I probably will add Boba Fett instead. I wanted Vader because he has a lightsaber, but using fett to jump onto trees could be fun.

looks like its coming along great, that wookie with the ax looks pretty awsome

Hey, that screen loox nery vice.
I love how it's arranged,some how similar to the movie, with the wookiee-copter turning to the LOS of the camera.
But the lower ground could definately have some more trees.

the jedi sprint effects don't look good on the wookie...is there a way to get rid of it??

The wookiees considered their claws as sacred. Tools, never weapons.

I disagree, when they have to and are very angry on them aspecially trandosians they will kill them with their claws.

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 3:41 pm

Looks better, but you need to change the terrain texture.

yeah, but trandos are so dumb , they can be considered organic material.

And, from what source did you take your opinions, Chris165 and Bac-Talan ?

Bac-Talan · Post by **Bac-Talan** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:17 am

KOTOR (Zalaabar and Freyer were banished for this reason and it very explicitly explains all this, maybe a game isn't the best source though.)

Chris165 got his from Republic Commando (I'm guessing) but, if you noticed, they claw-fighters in RC used some sort of weapon strapped to their arm. (or they just stepped on the Trandos.

Well in The Lego Star Wars 2, Chewbacca ripped off a stormtroopers arms. J/k, but yeah, I'm going to keep the berserker. In the books wookies are always described as intelligent, powerful creatures that can tear off limbs. Unfortunately this map is going to take a while to complete. I ran into some problems that i have no idea how to fix. And unfortunately my map is already 228 mb. I haven't deleted the unused stuff yet, though. Hopefully that will save quite a bit of space.

Bac-Talan · Post by **Bac-Talan** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 10:21 pm

Tearing of limbs is different than using claws. tearing of limbs doesn't in anyway require claws: just brute strength. lol

Protector_Pulch · Post by **Protector_Pulch** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 12:04 am

Or the right technique: in the "Heirs to the Empire" series, there's somewhere a line describing that noghri is throwing chewbacca around.
And as far as the Claw-killling-wookiees are concerned : I just played through RC (10th time, I think^^), but I never saw that a wookiee used anything but a bowcaster, his fists or feet.
