The Slave 1 uses the A-wing cockpit.

Aha, thx.
Because in the vid you don't see very well on 3 person, like on the B-wing. :lol:

@Lesovikk: It was Kashyyyk, at the beginning with the at-sts :wink:

So it is safe to assume this shall be coming out exceptionally soon? If so, YAY!

Less spam please. If you have a legitimate question, feel free to ask it. If I have something to tell, I'll tell it.

It'll take up about as much space as a normal mod map; the beta version download (which will be more or less the exact same size) was 70-something MB.
I think he was asking about the final unpacked size which is about 4 times that of Aquilaris.

Right now is the unpacked version 422 MB. It might change when the final version comes out but if there will be any difference Im sure it will be very small.
Ive seen maps that were bigger than 1 GB.

Probably because its not exclusively Battlefront: "The Force Unleashed" anymore. Its "The Dark Times", which is a time period that graces all the time between Revenge of the Sith and a New Hope. So basically about 20 years. The Imperial Dropship (as well as the Millenium Falcon) were both present near the end of that time period (and TFU happened near the end as well) so we can assume it happens somewhere in between or after there.

And its not like it really matters. Its Battlefront; "Fight the Star Wars battles any way you want". Anybody remember that advertising line?

Mav's pre-release trailer implies that this mod is about those "dark times" Obi-Wan mentioned. I remember Maveritchell saying the same thing a few pages back.

There is an advertising for battlefront II? I'm shocked.

No, I was saying it was an advertising line in an advertisement for one (or both) of the Battlefronts.

But anyhoo, we're starting to talk about the difference between advertisements and advertising, so we should probably be quiet now.

Last update was - Fri Apr 10, 2009 9:31 pm. The update before that was - Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:07 pm, only one week prior. If that's too far between updates then you seriously need to be taught patience. It's not like Mav doesn't have a life outside of SWBF2 modding. :roll:

Study up on compression methods and programs and you'll understand. If you want to know how he got it down to 422MB uncompressed, check the FAQ.
