Selva Prime [Updated 7/29]

Post by obiboba3po »

Hey everybody, you all have probably been hearing about this map for a few months now. After months of not working on this map,ive decided to start again and almost finish it up! It's a really fun map, so here it is. It's probably about 70% done by now.
SELVA PRIME
Here begins the saga of the 72nd clone legion (completely original by me). Their first mission is to locate and discover what has become of their 'brother' legion, the 27th. The clones were on the planet Selva Prime when a few weeks ago all contact was lost. Assuming they must have wandered off into the jungle, the 72nd lands on the planets surface to investigate. However, they didn't come unarmed, feeling this 'situation' had something to do with the confederacy. However, they are not quite ready for what they find in the jungle and beyond...
The map consists of alot of water, trees, and foliage. The 72nd starts on an island where they trudge across water in ATTEs to the CIS base on the other side (the mainland). Once there, there is plenty of space to explore,wander off and get lost, and take a few snipes. Palm trees dot the shoreline while taller ones cover the forest. Battle droids have camo green skins while the clones have custom 72nd legion skins. Weapons are rather universal with a variation of a concussion rifle and double barrel shotgun here and there ;)
You may notice that in about the center of the map,there exists a very large volcano. Somewhere around here there exists a secret underground CIS base, believed to be a research facility by republic spys. However, this 'research facility' turns out to be something a lot different... (i won't spoil anything)
Yes, this map will have a campaign mode, that is one of the last things i need to do before this is publicly released. I will take private beta testers (about 10 or so) so if you're interested, please post here or PM me. And as all WIP's are required to have, screenshots. :P

very nice idea like the caverns lighting is good a little bland maybe add a yellow dir down and green one up the units are a little too dark lighten them up a bit. I love the bridge idea and caverns that looks really fun also it looks like you took the time to make a decent environment

you're missing some textures on the tantive halls but otherwise the textures look great

I'll beta if you want or need beta ers

Wow, the island reminds me of Spira: Besaid. About those Tantive hallways, I don't see missing textures (I don't see any black spots), but the white lights can be retextured, if that's what you mean. Just look for white spaces in one of your Tantive skins.

I would totally beta this.

I love the skins and parts of the map, it's just some of the map in and around the water seems a little weak.

I like it, looks like you've got a solid story and some pretty cool sides (can't say I like the droid's camo, though).

I will be looking forward to see it's release. Good luck man!

Looking good, can't really see anything wrong with this map. Either way, My Diagnosis(ther're isn't anthing wrong just what I'd like to see.)

Add stuff under water, from what I've seen you would benefit from some coral reefs, or something underneath that water.
Add More Palm trees, from your description it sounded tropical but the screenies have Kashyyk trees. Either change it so the map isn't tropical or use tropical trees.
Add a Campaign, but you said you were gonna do that so...
Add B-1, I speak for all my fellow B-1s when I say, add B-1s as their own unit... Please!
Add me, on your beta testers list

Thats all, can't wait to play this map. :thumbs: I'll PM you on Beta testing.

for the water part-there is foliage and fish, ill consider that coral idea
for the palm part, there actually is quite a few in there i just don't have screens of them all. the main CIS beach head has plenty i think
edit: i just went into ZE and alas, you are correct, ill add more.

for the b1s, the droids that im using currently are B1s, they just have different skins.

My only complaint thusfar is that the water looks a little too saturated. Otherwise, nice work!

I agree that it's too blue, but you should definitely make it clearer for more of a tropical feel.
