This map looks really good, if there are any skins you need, i could make them for you.
Im not sure if all Kuati were black, i looked at some pictures and Kuat of Kuat was black, but his Aunt, Onara Kuat, the person who made Giddean Danu (above picture) the senator, was white.
I think they might be mixed.

Also you could maybe have this poster on some walls some how.

Found it on Wookiepedia.

Alpha I don't want to express my opinion as criticism but could you make the Kuat Yards as orignally seen from Factor 5's first Rouge Squardon game?

Maybe another time I'll post some screens.......
If I had models for all that maybe, but alas, I don't. I do have the game though.
There is a way to attach lights to meshes, I think that it will only shine on objects though. Terrain lighting is burned in during the munge process.
Would anyone like to try? I'm not very good at modeling...
maybe there could be slow moving pilotable fighters on a belt moving into a cargo ship as if the fighters were being shipped i wonder
Beyond my capabilities, I'm afraid.
If you don't want to delete the rebel transport, you could add some projectile holes, scorch marks and hull breaches, so it looks a rebel ship captured by the imperials and brought to Kuat in order to be "cannibalized", I mean, so the imperials can remove everything that's still working from it, and then remelt it.
I could do that.
Maybe you could add some minor hallways in the landed ships, only some, and combine them with space map room in which you put the CPs.
I'm not going to model anything new, but there are small hallways in the acclemators.
The perfectly fitting vehicle would be a forklift (?), but because we've got none, I'd stick to reskinned landspeeders from both tattooine and naboo.
I like that, I'll see what I can do.

@Dragon, I saw that picture, too, I might work it in some how. If you want to work on some urban camo skins for all four sides, you can, but nothing over the top. ;)

If the Imps could have the KDY logo, I think that would be cool. Otherwise, whatever you think is best.

KDY Security would put up one heck of a fight. After all, the Rebels are attacking their main drive yards. Could make a security guard class. Maybe a reskin of the Naboo troop with the KDY logo on him. Or just use the Imperial Officer model.

I dunno. But I'm thinking up something cool in my mind right now. If also some how you can put announcements at the base too. Like in space maps where in the hangars their all saying "All crew, man your stations" I think that'll be great to add to the ambience. Unless you have another idea.

Just my two ideas to propose. The announcements would be a must though, cause it'd just be so darn cool. :P

One question. You said you wanted ideas so i came up with cool ideas for sides but it is a total revamp w/ all new weapons/vehicles and stuff. Its kinda long so I wont post it if you dont like the idea. I just thought it might be cool to have all new weapons and units. Whatcha think? :?

No new models, but otherwise, go ahead and post 'em. ;)

i think this will be a good map. cant wait to play it. still highly anticipating both the Helms Deep and Firefly maps though

Post by Alpha »

I don't know if I can finish the Boros one becuase the models lagged it too much. I may have to limit the maps to the Serenity Valley one. I could revamp that and add new stuff, but on topic... :) I tend to ramble.

I'm adding a to-do list to the first post to keep you informed of progress.

Kuatis certainly were not black. They were white...royal-looking people (the British!)...

That man is Kuati, but he is not of the "Kuati race." Germany could have a black representative who is certainly German, but he is not of the "German race."

Probably not. But if I redo Serenity Valley they'd be in there.

Ok, MR, errare humanum est. You're right. But after all,Kuat was ruled by those aristocrats. Maybe they surpressed the blacks...and that would be why giddean danu was twice recalled from the 'royals'.

But there's no proof of my stupid theory, so let's forget it.

And, btw, in the Wraith Squadron Series, Kuat Security personnel was described as wearing imperial uniforms and armor. But that's no reason so solely rely on Stormies. Maybe a reskinned Naboo Soldier would be a good "Orbital Militia" or something likewise.

I figured out what i am going to do for the imperials, but to make the side smaller im going to make a new side, i dont really understand how though, so could someone send me a basic imperial side folder called kua, all it has to contain are the basic imperial troops, everything else deleted that is not needed for them to work and change the imp.req so it only has the basic troops in, and rename it to kua.req.
Then when you send it to me i can add the other stuff.
I would do this myself but i dont know what is needed for the troops.

Is this ok, Alpha?
The imperial side will be:

Kuat Drive Yards Security - Naboo Trooper, reskined, Kuat Drive Yards Symbol, lots of grenades.
Stormtrooper - Normal, but maybe with a symbol.
Heavy Trooper - Normal, but maybe with a symbol.
Kuat Systems Engineer - What model?, Kuat Systems Engineering Symbol.
Imperial Officer - Normal Ofiicer.
Dark Trooper - (Should the dark trooper be replaced with someone else?)

kuat drives security should have black uniforms, as real-life guards do.. with small details of grey.

If you send me the skins I can compile the side. :) I like that so far. I don't know about the dark trooper, though. KDY Engineer could go on a reskin of the rebel engineer model, but without camo or anything, just in a civilian uniform. I have standardized testing the next two days, so I'll be on, maybe, but minimal progress.

I have done the Kuat Security Officer skin, should i try Talibanman's idea instead?

The engineer has the wrong name at the moment because i didnt know what model to use.
Ill get to work on the engineer now.
You will probably have to change the weapons of the Kuati troops or copy stuff over, because the Blaster Rifle that the security officer has, hasnt got any sound and the icon for it and the rebel grenades icon are floating.

Edit: I just got an idea, since it is Kuat Drive Yards and Kuat Systems Engineering, you would expect them to have some droids, so what about replacing the Dark Trooper with a droid?

Edit2: Ive finished the engineer. Should i add logos or symbols on to the Imperial troops? If yes, what symbol?

I think that the uniform on the security guard should be nlakc like Talibanman said, yes. I love the Engineer, but maybe make the tan elements gray and change the face? I like the droid idea, I think it'd like to fool around with that one personally. :) And I think the plain white stormies are good. Maybe a Black Ops stormtrooper instead of the officer though. I'd like to try and do the droid and the black ops imperial if you don't mind. Lessen the work load on you a little and gives me something to do with the limited time I have because of teasting.

-Alpha

Edit:

Could you see what these look like in-game?

Could you use a different model for the Kuat engineer?
It's just that everyone uses that model for engineers.
(and I wouldn't localize as "Kuati Imperial" I'd suggest just doing "Imperial" for the Imperial troops and "Kuat Systems" for the Kuat militia troops)
