Sorry guys but im quiting modding/mapping until swbf2 tools come out.

Other commitments have popped up and its gonna stop me modding for a while.

All these maps I have been making havent been a waste tho' . I have learnt ALOT in XSI and now am pretty confident that I can blow everyone away with my swbf2 maps.

I shall still be makin models from time to time for these maps up untill swb2 tools come out .......when my commitments allow it. SO I will have a bunch of custom made maps very soon ater the tools are out.

From now on I will only release maps that are just as good ,quality wise, or better than the swbf2 shipped maps. I want to impress Pandemic themselves !

I expect to have all new maps such as..

GEONOSIS ARENA (jedi galore!!! )
INVISIBLE HAND
A FEW SPACE MAPS( think Phantom menace )
and GALACTIC SENATE (Yoda and Sideous ??? )

done in the 1st week of the tools being released.


Again I am sorry for this BUT I PROMISE YOU it will be worth the wait.
Im hopin to fool alot of people that Pandemic have actually brought out a patch or expansion .


Also me having to format/ reinstall windows etc doesnt help me to mod.
I have the models i wanted to keep on a CD so eventually I can resume working on them.

Every cloud has a silver lining


**maybe Guru or Nimlot could lock my Mon Cal threads**

Once Iv sorted my computer out I may release some models for swbf1 for the people who wanna carry on modding it while swbf2 is out. Tho some of the models I wont release as the will be in my above maps ,in some form. I'll see what I can dig up.

Aww what? You're not gonna release all those WIP maps that you were working on? I've decided not to buy BF2 until the game has a 1st person mode for the vehicles as well as the troops. Guess that means I'm SOL either way huh?

Well, God bless. You're an amazing BF modeler/mapper, I'm sure it won't take much to compete with Pandemic. If there was one thing I think that could use some work, it'd be textures. But that's only speaking from the Jedi Temple map.

Incidentally, did you ever get the A-Wing working? I could really use that, even if it's barely in-game.

well i see what u mean,and i understand so I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR BF2 MAPS to come out!!!!!!!!!!
and i can't wait for the models!!!!!!u are awsome u rock!

thx.

Teancum (lol funny combination )

Ya ,as Rends will probably tell you , its difficult to make all the models and make the map aswell as make decent textures from scratch.

Awing - like the TIE Defender is textured, in game and flyable . However they dont shoot for some unknown reason (maybe an ODF mistake or something in XSI ..I dunno) . I can release them both as BETA's and let you lot test them out , once i sort my computer out.

Just name what you would like to use and I'll see whether its possible.


** Just for a laugh Im gonna list all the maps I worked on in the last few months or so. Some you will know about ,others you wont ....

Mustafar
Geonosis arena
Deathstar Space map
Star Destroyer Interior
CW era Geonosis space map
Kamino Cloning Facility (the big domed room where the baby clones are in those pods)
Naboo Theed Palace Reactor room/Hangar (the places where Qui Gon and Obi1 fought Maul)
Lord of the Rings Helms Deep lol
Invisible Hand
Jedi Temple Training room (just whipped this 1 up in a day or 2 to give me some breathing space lol)
Galactic Senate
Endor SPace Battle
Mon Cal
Manaan

plus more that iv forgotten about.

There goes another SWBF 1 mapper...

Well, you might not have finished the SWBF 1 maps you were working on, but you were sure inspiring by showing what could be done! Best of luck in getting you computer up and running again. Sounds like you've got some duzies (sp?) lined up for SWBF 2 players!

I wouldn't mind using the TIE Defender and A-Wing models myself. I always liked both of those vehicles, and your A-Wing looked spectacular (I only saw a TIE distance shot).

Ya, the A-Wing I'd like to get my hands on....

Manaan huh? If you have a bunch of primitive MSH files that you were using to construct it, I'd love to get ahold of those as well.

Keep up your good work Bandu! Let it evolve as you move onto BF2.

I think I speak for a few people when I say I wouldn't mind playing your latest munges(understatement). I guess your keeping them as a surpirse etc.

In Summary:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm really sorry to hear this Bandu but I respect your descision. I'm looking forward to your Battlefront II maps and I know that you'll do great (probably a better job than Pandemic) and your maps will be incredible. Good luck and may the Force be with you!

:eobi:

wow i was also thinking of a helms deep map.

You were a good mapper/moddeler, I am sad to see you quit. I quit to so I know what it is like. But I have to ask, will you keep doing personal projects like me? (I am enjoying my order 66 mod, (not to hi-jack this thread)).

well keep in touch bandu Blackrider27 by the way remember when we ran into each other in bf2(remember im arctrooper) well are you going to stop by

Diet Dr. Pepper bandu... well, life goes on anyway... so at least now you'll have more time to play SWBF2 and maybe (fred maybe??) a dev can make patch for the tools. I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated Well, good luck Bandu.

We'll miss you Bandu, I wish you hadn't quit. I wanted to play your space maps.



Well, all hail Bandu, one of the first and greatest SWBF mappers.

- Majin Revan

well I see why you are leaving (if only tempoary) and I look forward to what you release in the future...

All hail the next release of mod tools!

Could you delete the unusd vehicles of the MonCal map and rlease it so we cna toy with it, plz? Or is it not far enough along? Any chance in releasing any resources for those other maps? Loved all your stuff BTW.

It really sucks that he's stopped mapping for SWBF1(really looked forward to MonCal), BUT this means the maps for SWBF2 will be by far greater than anything capable of being done with BF1 material. My respects go out 2 'Bandu :royal:
