Stager00, I know you just posted Geonosis 1.7, and even though I haven't played it yet I know it is gonna be fantastic. Man, I though 1.5 was so much fun, I can't even imagine how much more fun the updated version is gonna be. Anyways, I was just curious what the word was on Utapau XL. You said there MIGHT be a possibility that it may get out this weekend. I don't want to sound pressing, I'm just SUPER EXCITED for this map to come out! It looks like so much fun. Probably the one I will play the most. Thanks again for making such another unbelievable movie-like map. Later

I really appreciate the enthusiasm! Its a good motivator.

I really wanted to put something out this wekend...but just too many bugs to fix yet. Its amazing how hard it is to make sure that many units all do what they should do...especially with new terrain to run around on. I still need to stop some cliff-diving(LOL)...some insanity like riding the top of laat's for some strange reason....sitting underwater...stuff like that.

Im up to 1.7 on Geonosis...I dont want to have to revise this one that many times....lol

I understand. With myself not being so computer savy, I just have no idea what actually goes into something like this. I just know what I saw in you screenshots were absolutely awesome and the more I look at them the more I want to just play it. Maybe I need to stop looking at those screenshots. It's funny how I never would have thought that you would have to control the units from taking a dive, or the LAAT's from crashing into everything around them. Plus with the limited space of the sinkhole, it must be dificult to have that much stuff going on at once and not have so much chaos happening. I just know those screens look amazing and I am super excited for this one. So the wait makes it a little more difficult. I know that with the Geonosis XL, you put out a few versions. I know you want to get it as close to being finished as possible, but I must say that having those pre-finished version(s) out made the wait for the final version less difficult to wait for. I guess because it gave us something to look at and to play with in the meantime. I actually loved Geonosis 1.5. But I also love what you did with this new version 1.7. You do such fantastic work, and with ROTS being my favorite movie, I just know that Utapau will be my favorite map to play. Can't wait to see it and play it!!!! It looks like great fun. Thanks again for such awesome work Stager00!

Stager00, you rock. Will the levels be connected with ramps like in the film?

Yeah, The ramps spiral down to the bottom.

P.S. Stager, I LOVE Mustafar 1.0!!!! Man is that a lot of fun. Although I was mostly busy just lookin' at stuff. The scenery is amazing. There's even a place that could be considered the "high ground."

Foo4Everlong, I think you need to calm down a little. I know you love Stager00s work, just as much as I do, but there's no need to rush him:)

Take your time Stager00 :)

Don't let's rush the guy. He's got Geonosis, Mustafar Duel, Utapau and Space Coruscant. Let him wittle them down one at a time, Geonosis should be finished soon.

Off Topic: I believe Mustafar 1.0 is now on Page 2 of the Released Maps section. I love this map! The scenery is amazing! I hope he adds in the "SBD Nest" as well as the music back in. And hopefully an addition of somethiing with a little more action.

On Topic: Really excited for Utapau XL if you haven't noticed already. Sorry if I am being overly annoying, I'm just really excited to see what it looks like. From the screenshots and Stager's explanation of what is in the map, it sounds so movie accurate or movie life-like (ala Geonosis XL), I believe it'll his best yet! I am a big fan of ROTS, so any map relating to this movie really gets me excited. Especially the fact that he made an entire sinkhole, with levels, with water at the bottom, and with the ability to fly through the sinkhole either battling by air, or flying to another level to fight some more on foot. That's so amazing to me. I'll try and be the good guy and remain patient as possible. Thanks Stager00 for making fantastic maps, that are not only fun to play, but amazing to look at. Later

P.S. If I was as talented with a computer as Stager00, I would make my own maps, but unfortunately I'm not. I really wish I was though.

Hi there. 1st off I have to say thanks to Stager for his awesome Geonosis map. So much better than the shipped one. I wish I knew even half as much about this modding malarky as you must to be able to do some of the great work you do. And like others here, I really can't wait for this one.
I have a request/suggestion, or more like a second to an earlier poster's coments. I'd love to see Utai and Pauns on this map. Pauns are the big blue and red guys, while Utai are the Ugnaut/Ree-eyes crossbreeds. The little guys would be like Jawas (probably reskinned Jawas or Ewoks?), maybe armed with Fusion Cutter and detpacks, and not much of a gun. Pauns would be more like a Wookiee in my mind, tall and imposing. Not sure what sort of weapons they'd have (some sort of rifle).
Also not sure the router you're going with heroes. I guess Obi and Grievous, but I hope Cody will be there and maybe a tougher Magnaguard?
There's my paltry suggestions for what sounds like being a great map. Utapau is one of my favourite levels anyway, but making it like the actual film is great. Why couldn't LA and Pandemic have made these things accurate? They had access to the actual models, rather than all you poor modders having to rely on photos and screengrabs.
Keep up the good work, can't wait to play this (but will be happy to-good things come to those who wait :wink: )!

Stager are you planing on having Venaters hovering above the sink hole to hold the repulic starfighters?
