I was originally gonna use ANDE's but I couldn't find a working link. Thanks.

It works for me. http://www.gamefront.com/files/20269515 ... ualish.zip
Nice job on the new sides

Thanks for the link and the compliment Helkaan!

EDIT
GCW Vehicle Update and Alpha Test
I promised I would work on the map and now I have, I've finished the GCW vehicles (except for sound issues) and I will start the CW ones tomorrow. I'm also preparing for an Alpha test. This will not include the War on Terror era. All three eras will have the same sides setups so this alpha will give you a feel for how the War on Terror sides will work anyway. Alpha spots are below. The Alpha will include completed GCW and CW Sides (With some bugs), vehicles and some of the edited map.

Alpha Spots Vehicles

2M Repulsor Tank Seat1: Blaster Cannons
Seat2: Blaster Turret

TIE Defender
Seat1:Homing Missiles

AAC-1 Hovertank Seat1: Blaster Cannons
Seat2: Missiles

Thats all for now!

I'll alpha test for ya'.


Also, I'm not quite sure I'm seeing the resemblance here...



I think you should add some dusteffect props; there's one in Hoth whose texture you can recolor to look like sand.

Sure!

I know the map does not look very Afghanistany yet, I'm working on that right now. I need some more ideas for what to do, I'm going to add some foliage, assorted junk/trash on the ground and I'm going to add some dust. Should I possibly do a civilian side as well? What dust effect are you talking about?

hoth_prop_dust.odf, look in the Hoth assets.

How about getting rid of those moisture vaporators?

Also, you can add miscellaneous puddles by making some depressions in the terrian and adding a layer of water. I think signs here and there with Persian writing could work, too. Chain-linked fences and parked cars are other possibilities. Just about every real-world based asset available out there could work in this map.

If you want to make that little girl who is looking at the camera in the photo Marth posted, I think a reskinned Jawa could work. But yeah, sure! The more you can make it look less like Mos Eisley, the better. The AAC-1 tank is missing its cockpit texture, by the way. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the responses! I'm going to get some soda to refill my energy reserves
AQT, would you like to alpha test?

I'd like to volunteer to alpha (beta?) test.

I could alpha.

Do you plan on using any of the Terra Strife assets for the War Against Terror era?

Yes, I was going to get most of the weapon models from the Terra Strife Assets. I will add you two to the ALPHA test. (Sorry for me not being clear in my post to AQT)

I think new weapon models would be better than the ones from Terra Strife, because if I remember correctly the ones from that asset pack are sorta thin and unrealistic looking (no offense to Taivyx[?]).

Hey, I'd like to Alpha!

No problem Yuke!

Marth, I'll test the weapons ingame and see, I'm not sure yer but I might make a decision later.

Can I test!!!

You sure can!

CW Vehicles
Sorry these are older pics so they may not have some of the newer changes to the map.

AT-AP Seat1: Mortar Launcher
Seat2: Heavy Blaster Cannon

ARC-170 Starfighter Seat1: Rapid Fire Blaster Cannons

AAT Seat1: Blaster Cannons
Seat2: Particle Cannon

Maybe you could add in a little market place area, with the little tent-awnings and carts full of food stuffs and such. Just a thought.

Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea.

I have some screenshots of the cars I added in.

The reference picture has a darker ground texture and it also has bricks in it, I tried my hand at getting a brick texture on some of the Mos buildings and I tried a darker ground texture. What'do you guys think?

Maybe the ground is a tad too dark.

I'd go for something like this: Perhaps in between of the default Tatooine sand and what you have could work? So that way it's not too light and not too dark. I'm not sure, it's up to you.

Whoa, it's starting to look really different now with the new textures and props. I'm guessing it's dark in the screenshots you posted because you now have appropriate lighting for the nighttime version? If so, maybe you can include an appropriately randomized darken mountain range background object to go with this new lighting.

Going off what MawDrallin suggested, there's a "bowl of fruit" model from Jabba's Palace that you could possibly use for that. Also, maybe you can darken the terrain underneath that sunken car in that first screenshot? It seems a bit odd right now. Looking good, though!
